Egg on Leggs

I had this problem, vice grips, bent it back.

I do like what Americans have done with the english language but I do have to refer to one of your great language and cultural education programs before I go there. It is called The Simpsons, I don't know if you are familiar with it?

I have never torqued a spark plug, being old school I wind it in until it seats and a quarter turn on a new plug.

NGK state that you should not use anti seize, the plating on the threads perform this function.

OK, let me put it another way, if there was a system fault it would happen all the time. I can make my bike do it at will by being in the wrong gear.

Whacking the throttle open in a high gear at relatively lower speeds will do this.

I had a similar thing recently, but not with the battery part, turned out to be corrosion on the engine stop relay plug.

I have just fitted the Oberon to my 6G and it is a thing of great wonderfulness, lighter than my CBF 125 and the pick up is over a longer period making moving off and slow riding a much more pleasant experience.

Welcome Phozie, which part of the old country are you from?

What has gone wrong with the original?

I was told that the tolerance Dynojet allow is 6% between their dynos. Different day, different place, different setup, different dyno. Only meaningful comparison is on the same machine.

Always worth going simple first. Whenever someone tells me their bike is making a strange noise I tell them to service it and see if that sorts it.

Have you tried giving it a good soak with releasing fluid?

All be it last week but no point posting without a test.I fitted an Oberon Clutch Slave Cylinder. The difference to stock is quite remarkable, now as light as my CBF 125 to operate but the engagement is over a longer span of lever movement. This makes it far more controllable, removing the need to over rev to stop it stalling in slow speed maneuvers. http://www.oberon-performance.co.uk/acatalog/Honda_Clutch_Slave_Cylinder.html
