Post: RE: Clunky first gear.

Hold the clutch in for about 15 seconds, then engage first - it'll be quiet. Once warm, anticipate the traffic lights from about 10 seconds out and holding in the clutch that long will give you su...

I work with his son and I'm pretty sure David lost 2 of his children over a short period of time, - there's only Tim and his mother now.

    Thread: Is insurance worth it?
Post: RE: Is insurance worth it?

I agree with 'at fault' insurance - Green slip and third party, but my 2000 bike has done around 150,000km and I can repair or replace that myself. If you have a spectacular bike then full comp, fair ...

Post: RE: Schnitz Racing Ram Air seal kit

I'm seriously considering not bothering - it was more for aesthetics anyway, I rarely get to see north of 120km. I was going to just use duct tape, but I thought it would get too hot around there and ...

Post: RE: Schnitz Racing Ram Air seal kit

Replace it with rubber is probably best, if it's fit and forget. I think these are the same as Simmo's and I think they're better if you're constantly taking the nose off. I have no idea why, but I'm ...

Post: RE: Is insurance worth it?

My car is fully comp. If that brushes by anything, I figure it'll cost a bomb. My bike I bought when it was 2 years old and I only third party insured it once in the 9-10 years I've owned it. In al...

Haven't fitted these yet, but they look a good simple design. The sponge material between the air box and the tubes attached to the nose cone have completely deteriorated on my 2000, leaving massive g...

Post: Tiger Racing rear hump glove box Gen 1

Haven't fitted it yet because it only comes with 2 nuts and no bolts. I'm guessing it's because you use your existing nuts and bolts, but I got rid of those ages ago for the twist off bolts on my curr...

Got my renewal from CIC Allianz and it's DOWN $40 from last year to $368. My car Green Slip is with GIO so I might get a quote from there before paying it.

Fair point, but I've just upped my kid's milk intake so I'll need to know about this stuff - she'll be trusting me to get it right.
