Not smooth.....!

Hi all, I need a little assistance please. Up until 2 weeks ago the bike was running smooth as you like. Whilst it still runs smooth when riding, when it is sat idling (completely warmed up) the revs keep falling , it doesn't actually stall but I feel that is not far away unless I sort it out . Idle...

Baffles

Hi all, I have Carbon Can Company new exhausts as some of you will know. This is probably a silly question but apparently they have removable baffles. At the end of the exhaust there is a seperate piece of pipe inside which I am presuming is the baffle? There is a small pin underneath which seems to...

I fitted mine a while back and it makes a huge difference in getting rid of the clumpy stock tail end. I also fitted smaller indicators. I didn't notice any difference whatsoever in the placement of the indicators, they basically stayed were they were with the stock tail end on.

I changed my indicators a while back and they also did very similar, I would get two or three blinks then nothing. Turned out that when I was sent the new indicators the bulbs they sent with them were of a different wattage, Higher I think. As soon as I put the correct wattage bulbs in everything wa...

Socket Size

Hi Guys/Girls,

Another question which I can't find in the manual.

Does anybody know the correct socket size for the rear wheel nut. Trying to do some chain adjustment but nothing fits it. Either too big or too small.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Thanks Cavia some pics would be great as I don't quite understand the process.

For the time being I put the old risers on but it really niggles me as with the higher risers bike was perfect for me.

Urgent Help Please!!

Hi All, I recently fitted a tail riser (with help and advice from Cavia and Steve). The chain then sat on the stock pipe when the riser was fitted. I just bought and fitted new Carbon Company Cans today and I thought that would alleviate the chain issue BUT it hasn't. The chain is now sitting on the...

Update

Just finished fitting the plates, I think it makes a huge difference to both the backside look of the bike and the seating position. Many thanks to Cavia and Steve, your advice was really helpful. Only thing I have to sort is the chain clearance. When on the stand the chain is resting on the exhaust...

Steve,

I am now scared!!! That sounds a lot harder than I presumed to begin with!

What is it that actually creates the new height then? Is it the shock being raised or???? (Obviously the plate is bigger but what part moves the bike higher?)

Cavia, It's my fault I explained it very badly. Basically to me the ones that BikeFarm have sent do not seem to align but they are saying I have the correct plates. Would you be kind enough to explain the procedure of how you put the plates on. For example is the bike off the ground when you take of...

Help Please

I have just had a couple of the plates delivered from BikeFarm. I looked at your drawing Cavia, very helpful. Can someone tell me whether the shock needs to be back in it's original position (ie the spring) before fitting these plates as whatever way I look at it the plates they sent me none of the ...
