Do you want to borrow a cordless drill to put a neat little drain hole in there?

I hope you're ashamed of yourself :laugh:

Has it gradually been getting worse or was it a case of the battery suddenly being flat? A lot of motorbike battery chargers won't put anything in once the battery has dropped below a certain voltage so sometime piling something in with a car battery charger works and then you can run the bike and m...

Still got my zx10r just can't get out on it due to shoulder injury Did find out 3 problems when I got the gsa 1. It's rained most of my days off 2. My legs was to short 3. Gate was not wide enough All problems sorted apart from the rain I sold my 2005 10R because even though I could ride it 400 mil...

I think the moderators are a lot less trigger happy than they sometimes were in the earlier days of the forum and they'll obviously see a lot more than we do. If they've banned someone then it won't have been a knee jerk reaction and it will have been explained to him why he was banned. It's unfortu...

Why worry about the gearchange pattern? All Yamaha were doing was preparing riders for the day when they could have a big boys bike like a Kawasaki 500 or 750 triple (thumbs) I'll admit I sometimes get it wrong with the 5 down box on my Kawasaki but only in that I try to tap it up one to get 1st fro...

Can we all PLEASE stop this. It's one thing when two people on here have a ding dong but another when it's all one sided as this. I don't know the facts behind here but it's not on to comment on somebody who is not here to reply. Mike Go back and read the first post again Mike, it might explain why...
