What did you do to your bike today???

problem is you don't find out how much they're going to charge you until it arrives in the UK at the sorting office, then you get a letter off Parcel Force telling you how much it is!

This happened to me recently when I bought a tail tidy from Germany. Arrived in UK then before they'd deliver it , got a letter off parcel force saying I need to pay £45 so they can forward the parcel on! Cancelled the order as I wasn't advised about this.

Now the Leathers i have my eye on at Fc Moto are £650......cheaper than anywhere else but what surprises lay in store for me when they get here?

Goes off Value of the contents....not weight right?

 

I rode it, took a wrong turn and before i knew it I had done 70 miles. Load of bikes out today. The bike and i have now done our first 100 miles together and are starting to bond lol.

 

Bike looks like it's only covered 100 miles since new Kirk. Looks immaculate

 

Thanks mate, its done 4800. Not bad for a 6 year old lol.

 

Correct, the charges go off the total value and I think that includes the cost of shipping also.

 

Just have to make sure you don't pay VAT twice, used to be you paid the sending country's now I think you pay ours.Sending country are suposed to knock their's off at source. Confusion reigns.

 

I bought the misle leather pants last week with 10% off for €228 euro. Luckily no extra charges for me.

 

Looks the part that @Jamie_lee! I always ran Supersprox with DID on the Enduro's. Very rare did they need adjusting.

Today I got s little more jealous of you lucky lot that managed to avoid the rain and get a few miles in. I still haven't turned a wheel on mine

In other news, my 'Ultimate Ears' ear protection turned up yesterday. Lovely bit of kit! Hopefully they perform as well as they look and feel.

 

07 back together this morning, ,,,,,, warmed up and went for a check out .
Effing misfire above 9000rpm in 3rd under load
Seems to happen when secondary injectors kick in ,,,,,,, weak plug maybe or coil
Suggestions anyone

 

Possibly all the above.... how olds the fuel?

 

October but put a gallon of fresh in this morning

 

I had a similar problem with my Blackbird. All checked over, new plugs, filters etc still no joy. It misfired at around 8500rpm until one day I filled it up with super unleaded and misfire immediately disappeared.

 

I will empty the tank and try some v power first before going back in to the plugs

 

It’s worth a try as you’ll have to fuel it up anyway. I never did get to the bottom of what was causing the problem with the Blackbird, I later fitted aftermarket exhausts and a power commander with a generic map and was able to go back to 95RON with no issues.

 

First Run Out of 2021
Only 58mi round trip into the Cotswolds but enough twisties to be enjoyable

 

Xenon Projectors not sparking into life... my missus is impressed by my evening workshop setup MoT due tomorrow but booked in for Wednesday

 

pmsl mate

 

If it doesn't pass you can still have fun on this thing.

 

A lovely little mod today. The bike came with the big Powerbronze carbon glossy hugger, I didn't like it so I bought a "Carbon2Race" one in a matte, twill weave.
It was made to order so I had to wait a while for it, but the quality is great and the communication was spot on throughout.
Not the best picture as I haven't got the bike.
Fingers crossed for my first ride Sunday.

 

Yep spot on that, i had one of those standard size ones in gloss twill....i don't like them big daft huggers either!!!
