Re: Exhaust Flap Valve stuck at around 1000 miles - is this a record?

But as I said, it is now illegal to mess with anything to do with the cat and emissions. It won't be long before Mr MOT will start to check bikes, apparently they are already gearing up for it. So no flap and no cat will mean no MOT Glad I don't move in such dramatic circles as your good self.Are y...

Surely if this flap goes and you have no warranty on the bike then just cut it out.I have taken the headers off my RT and replaced with a full Arrow system.Anyone need Ia working set of down pipes then pm me.

Exhaust gasket?

Will be changing my full exhaust system on my 2016 bike shortly and can't find any reference to gaskets.Have looked on NN's and Motorworks,done a search on here and nothing.Does this model not use gaskets.

I'm looking for something UK or EU before I chance getting kit from USA.
If buying from Europe don't forget to factor in import duty.Think anything over £135 is liable and can add a large chunk on the price.When that's factored in NN's are about the same.

Re: Which Sat. Nav. have you got & why?

TomTom 550 for me. Plan routes using TomTom Mydrive on my MacBook or iPhone. Favourite places and routes are then synced via WiFi to SatNav. TomTom 550 has built in WiFi for these syncs and map updates. No need to use cables. This means that you can plan a route on any computer connected to the ner...

Re: Which Sat. Nav. have you got & why?

Had a 660 till I lost it on the way to work one morning.Thought I'd try a different make(had the 550 before the 660)so went for the Tomtom 550 and have to say it's a great nav,find it so much better than the Zumo.Easy to use for someone who found the basecamp a load of cobblers(my personal view) Wir...

Re: Best oil for your bike

You bought the oil THEN emailed the company to ask if it was any good for ya bike ???
You've ridden all those bikes and even after being told not to use the oil,still persist in asking is it ok to use.
This has got to be a wind up,shirley.
