    “COOTERTWO”

    Love it! Looking forward to your results from the first night out. Handling something like that & getting the best out of it is gonna take a few runs. Best of luck Kevin.

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    This uneven wear on front tires has always been a bit of a mystery, never have I found a definitive reason for it. Eka, how does that stack up for those of us that ride on the left? It doesn't. Couple of absolutes to bare in mind while considering this issue: 1) a tire spinning in mid air...

    Din plug tip

    I tried the bending part before the O ring. Bending worked for a while, but copper being copper it soon went back to intermittent contact. I was concerned the repeated bending of the copper raised sections would cause one or more of them to break if I kept doing it.

    Din plug tip

    Yes I used an O ring pick to lift the copper tabs just as you've done. Your pic shows it perfectly. Good on ya!!

    Din plug tip

    I thought I'd share this tip with you all, seeing as how it works. I've had instances of a DIN plug not connecting securely. Sometimes it's ok & others it's not. When riding the power supply cable from the Aux connector by the bars always seems to work loose & not stay connected. Solution: I...

    Top speed issue

    With a GT after 180Kph you feet get lifted off the pegs by the wind pressure, 200+k's even more so, & the wind blast alone is enough for me to stay away from those speeds. I think mid pegs would fare better in the high speed running stakes. But it's good to know any day you feel like it she'll...

    Top speed issue

    Actually, I found it using this great wee site, fully configurable for basically any bike. Gearing Commander - Motorcycle Speed and Drive Train Calculator v7 Says we'd be doing 164k for 4000rpm, definitely loss of licence territory in NZ. We gotta be careful where we let the horses run...

    Top speed issue

    How fast is 4000rpm in top gear? You guys got a high speed limit over there? Ours is 100Kph or 60mph. The cops will gladly pull you over & issue a ticket if they spot you doing 110kph.

    Top speed issue

    I'm no wizard on these machines, but it sounds to me like the throttle restriction has been reinstated, ie you only get 65% opening even though you've got the throttle pinned. Does it still rev out through the gears?
