GSXR 750 Srad and the Rd 350 ypvs. Not had the option of squirreling bikes away at the time. Sold both very cheaply at the time. Sometimes the trx 850 too but it wasn't quite as special as the other 2.

Re: Does bump starting damage anything?
As others have said get a ski pass holder or similar and have your pass on your arm. Bump starting seems an unnecessary solution to the problem

Re: Worth a punt?
Also got this 0n my watch list. There's a stolen recovered one with no locks and bits missing along with hefty panel damage for £1550 making this one a bargain.
You should buy it.

Re: THIS YAMAHA TRX850 RESTOMOD BY HB-CUSTOM IS A TRELLIS-FRAMED TREAT
Hade a blue trx a few years ago with blue spots and an r6 rear shock, new emulsion tubes and needles sorted the surging on steady throttle. Do regret selling it though.
Original seat unit looks better too, would have made sense to stick more modern front end as that was a weak point.

Re: Ducati ST4 Starting Problem
Both my speed triple and rsv mille are notorious for starting issues, undersized cables knacker the sprag clutches. New batteries with higher CCAs, uprated cables and higher amperage starter solenoids are the solution. A more powerful battery on its own won't help as the narrow gauge cables won't le...

Re: Rsv Mille gen 1
Does anyone know whether the subframe was painted or brush finished or equivalent ?
Subframe is looking scruffy don't want to powder coat if I can replicate the correct finish with Scotchbrite

Re: Rsv Mille gen 1
Cheers mboy good to know someone who knows. Progress has been slow but steady and mostly amassing parts of ebay. Mines missing the exhaust shield / fairing mount as they all seem to. Previous owner had drilled the fairing to fit a metal bar instead :roll: got a second hand one with a hefty burn on i...

Re: When replacing fork oil, do you strip the forks down completly?
I do what you're planning to, empty out the old oil and flush with brake cleaner a few times. Left the damper assembly in the zx6r, just the spring and spacers.

Re: Rsv Mille gen 1
What’s the price £1500 with a full mot and the recent ap workshops stuff. Have been watching a lot of the ap workshops YouTube stuff to give me an idea of what to look at. Until I sell the zx6r work will consist of stripping, cleaning, checking and greasing. Will be investing in parts once the bike...

Re: Rsv Mille gen 1
This one's got the metal tank and the recall was the early gen 2 bikes. Reg rec brown connector along with the starting circuit is a weak point.

https://i.postimg.cc/9Qdbt4Dr/IMG-20231229-WA0001.jpg Not looking seriously for another bike as not anywhere near finishing the S3 but this popped up locally on ebay with a very good price. Would have been rude not too. Needs a bit of tl but has a solid Mot history and around £2k worth of receipts ...

Re: Battery replacement needed?
New agm battery from tayna arrived today showing a healthy 13v after a run on the optimate and a couple of hours to settle.
Old battery only shows 7.5v now, looks like another cell had gone.
