All 15- Would this MPG worry anyone here? To the OP; I wouldn't worry about those figures. For reference I have an '08 with Remus pipes, PC5, PAIR removed and I do pretty much the same sort of mix of riding on my 11 mile daily commute. If I got through the city…
- How difficult is it to remove and replace fairings? To be perfectly honest I replaced the two lower well nuts on the 'v piece' with black zip ties. Works perfectly, can't see them and I just snip snip and pop two more in when done. Got sick of them seizing up even with…
- How difficult is it to remove and replace fairings? Once you've done it a few times it only takes a minute to get her skirt off. In truth the most awkward part is the two small fairing pieces either side of the dash that need to be bent and popped out/in at an…
- BT023 or T30 evo ? I went from 023 to T30 EVO but I'm an all weather commuter so my usage is different. The T30 are definitely better in the wet and more confidence inspiring. That said the 023 weren't bad by any stretch. I'd say if…
- Cold Storage My bikes are happy through British winters down to -7 Celcius. One thing I will say though is don't take the advice to 'fire it up once a month'. That just encourages the development of internal condensation, you can't…
- Thermostat/radiator temps I have a suspicion of a partially stuck open thermostat. So, tell me chaps; from cold startup does your right radiator upper half get warm before the thermo opens? Up to 45C it's cold, gets a bit lukewarm at around 55C…
- Storm shadow accident Damn, those gloves. Leather every time eh. Bike doesn't look terminal, she leaking any vital fluids?
- 2005 vtec can chain tensioner. Metal cap ? My tip for this little job is to put a dab of superglue on the face of the rubber to ensure the metal cap doesn't fall off when re-inserting. Because they do.....and it's a nightmare to get one back out of the engine if…
- Fast Idle Wax Unit Fault? Mine does the exact same thing every winter. As soon as the ambient temperature drops below 10 degrees celcius I can guarantee on a cold start she'll need the throttle feeding for about 5 to 10 seconds or it'll bog down…
- Surging Surging Surging! TPS is circled in red [image: TPSSensor.jpg]
- Is It Ok To Drill Left Hand Center Stand Bolt? Tbh well nuts on the lower cowl are a complete pain in the rear if you ride all weather, the bottom ones seize up every time. Personally I gave up on them after ripping them out twice and replacing the well nut and just…
- Sidestand Wobbling, Causing Excessive Lean Mine has worked itself loose once after I bought her. I wonder if it's worth popping a spring lock washer in there.
- Fitted Staintunes Spuds out. I have Remus Titanium on my '08 with the baffles out and she passed MOT no problem. I've given her a hearty squirt past many plod vehicles and none have batted an eyelid. My neighbour is a plod and he says so…
- Hard Bag Insert Sticker Get the VFR one on there. 'Interceptor' is just way too gay, or is it just being a hard nosed Brit that makes me think it's an American way of over compensating...?
- Cat Help? Crappy 'Boosterplug' is making it way over rich, you've got far too much fuel entering the cat. The damage is pretty much already done, you'll need a new cat. And disconnect that piece of junk resistor immediately and…
