Anyone else notice the increase in price on the second hand bikes, donedeal and FB marketplace? 2010 GSXRs and Fireblades with 30-40k mileage for the guts of 8k. Seems all bike types are affected. Anything pushing this increase other than the end of the season approaching?
Looking to buy expansion card storage for Xbox Series X. Currently have 1tb. Have 8 games and 15gb left. Need more breathing room. Looking at either 2 or 4tb. Any recommendations on which one to get and where?
Seeing loads of different brands and different price points and also seeing 2tb storage from seagate in 2 different websites with 200 + € difference in the price, so not sure where to buy. Thanks
Long story short, I'm looking at doing some track days on my bike in mondello. I'm thinking of getting a LWB van so I can load the bike on and off without needing a trailer. Is this realistic to buy a cheap van and insure it as a private vehicle or whatever way it would be possible and do this? It would be easier to have the van instead of a trailer as I could keep the bike in there and it wouldn't get wet etc.
Thanks
Will in the near future be moving out of the family home and into an apartment or duplex. Only parking for the van and herselfs car, really dont want to risk leaving the bike out in the open regardless of locks and ground anchors. Do many people use storage containers and is that a viable way to have it kept?
Example; sunday morning, drive over to storage facility, get the bike out and leave car/van there til I come back and drive car/van home then when finished.
I don't use the bike for any commuting, its purely leisure
Please watch out as merging onto the M9 from the M7 as fella in a Citroën family car with a trailer done a U turn and went back towards the M7. Never seen anything as ridiculous as that. Hopefully someone has dash cam and reg
Had a few issues electrically with 2008 CBR600RR. Main issue is that the bike cuts out when the handles bars are turned left. The 2 lights on the right stay on and the bike won't kick over even though the starter motor will be giving good effort. Only happens sometimes and only happens in neutral or 1st gear. My train of thought is leading me to think its either a tip over sensor or some of the wiring is getting caught somewhere, and again as it only happens now and again. When I was refilling coolant, a bit of hot coolant splashed out when I gave it a few revs so thinking it might have melted some cabling?
Bit of background:
Bike was working perfectly until recently when I went to go change the coolant. I snapped the drain bolt and had to get it machined out of the pump with a new heli coil put in. This meant taking the hoses off. Everything was fine after that til I done a 300km trip and left it to sit over night. In the morning driving around and the bigger coolant hose blew off, spilling coolant everywhere. Got it back on and refilled coolant, worked no problem then. This is when the issue with the bike cutting out started happening. I originally thought it was the kickstand sensor that got drowned in coolant and maybe something wasn't working. Got the bike home and brought it to a Honda specialist. They had a look at all the piping, kickstand sensor and changed coolant for me and everything was all good.
Fast forward a few weeks later, did another 300km trip to get to ferry for isle of man. No problem getting there, but sat outside the port for 2 hours in the cold and when it was time to board, bike began cutting out again and again until I parked it on the ferry. This is where I started to notice when I turned it the bars to a certain degree the 2 red lights would come on (HESO and FI) and stall the bike. Once we landed and drove off it cut out again twice and then was fine til we got to the campsite. I highsided the bike in the carpark on wet grass at about 5-10km. It seemed fine then and if I kept it revved up 5k+ it would go to cut out for a millisecond and then stay on and i could keep driving without having to turn it on again. I also have an aftermarket gear indicator and it was showing me going up through the gears as this was happening but the bike was still in 1st or 2nd. Only happened once or twice more and then hasn't happened at all, doing laps of the island and driving back home so at least another 500km.
Turned it on today for the first time and it was trying to kick over but the 2 lights were on and wouldn't start til I turned it right a bit. Bike eventually died which is why I didn't try to start it in the video ive attached.
If anyone has any experience with anything like this or knows how I can start fixing this please let me know anything of relevance.
I was supposed to bring it back to the shop to get it looked at again but ended up in hospital with something unrelated so haven't had a chance and only been able to tinker around with it last day or 2. Not in a condition to be able to drive it to the shop either so trying to fix it myself if I can. Thanks
