I sent Arthur a PM a while ago about servicing and didn't hear back from him. Does anyone know - is he OK, was very surprised when I didn't hear back. Arthur, if you're about, I PM'd you about servicing costs - thanks! Soss
Hi mate, how odd? I did send the message but it shows nothing went out? Any way done a reply for you again.. Im sort of half out of action at the mo as had a little slide last week and broke my thumb lol, tried to ignore it but seems I have made it worse... oh well no big deal.... been trying to use the darn thing again today but its wobbling around...lol so finally gave in today and strapped it up...
All ok thanks mate, just bloody annoying when you like to fix things and you can't just slice open the hand and plonk some screws in to get you going....lol
I'm sure you could prob screw it back together So when you say a little slide what exactly happened? And what did you slide off?
Diesel on the hambarn roundabout mate, one of my "lesser" bikes and fixed it same day no damage. Ride, Brake, Fix.... simples....lol
lol, well "lesser" than the blade... Hand was ok until took the motard out for some standup's.... I'm happy now anyway coz it's raining! Just need to get back on spanners ASAP!
Hi Arthur - Sorry to hear about your 'off', hope you're back to full fitness soon! Thanks for the PM reply, just got it. Soss
Hey Arthur while your on this thread mate, I would like your opinion on sumthin please I bought Activ8 friction reducer oil additive and chain cleaner and lube! I'm using the chain products which I'm pleased with but I'm apprehensive about use the oil additive! the testimonials are all positive but there are some negatives online about using such stuff as it stops oil sticking to some of the vital internals components like cams which may corrode as a result! What do you think of these additives could they feck your engine or can they make a difference. Cheers Trev P.s sorry to hear about your off mate!!! Hope your thumb isn't given much grief mate! Sorry I should have read the whole thread before posting this
Sorry to hear about your spill, Art. Please get it properly supported. I suspect you can come up with something more efficient than the NHS could to do the job.
Yeah a lolly pop stick and gaffa tape ...lol No I'm fine mate not the first time and prob not the last... Oil additives.... a HOT topic (no pun)... I have had lots to do with TruBlu oil stabilisers but unlike most it's not a coating base product like slick50 etc.. If you google TruBlu oil you will find some old post from me dating back some years on the subject.. It's a long subject!!!! I don't know Aciv8 and at the mo have not had a look at the data on it, I take it that it can be used with wet clutches? What do you mean it does not stick to cams etc? that in its self does not sound good? Is your bike still under warantee? Honda would not warantee the motor if ANY oil adatives are used that much is for sure. Not sure also how RR8+ would deal with additives.. Got a link to the product so I can have a read with out googling it?
Hi Art yeah Activ8 can be used with wet clutches but the statement about the cams is because seamingly it coats the metal so oil doesn't cling to the surfaces so exposing them to moisture this was about oil additves online! I have a 2010 Blade so no warranty! There was a demo at the Scottish Bike Show which looked very impressive! The same demo is on you tube here is the demo and the the link! Thanks again Art Activ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ldl01tUaM4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
