If you are lucky enough to catch the graffiti arsehole in the act then a sure fire way of getting stuff off, paint, pen, nikko, whatever is to quickly break the persons nose, spill their fresh blood on the tag and wipe it off with their face. Repeat the punch to the nose and wipe procedure until the ...

not 100 % happy, take it back to the shop.

You might feel a bit silly if it is nothing to worry about.

You might save yourself a bunch of money and some skin if it is something serious that they have fucked up.

Either way, up to you. But I would have it back to the shop.

Is there a way to tell quickly whether is actually within the bar area, or a cable problem ?

Remove the bar ends.
Remove the screws from the switch housing.
Take note of how the switch assembly and cable housing comes apart so that you can get it back together.
Slide the grip assembly off the ...

Bridgestone tyre pressure and fitment.

Found on the net. No copyright information attached so I presume it is public domain.

Open the excell sheet and click on Kawasaki on the bottom left and it displays tyre fitment and pressures for all models.

Funny you should say that, it's what lead me to believe that my tyre pressures were wrong. I have never owned a bike that could scallop fronts in 200 k's. (two up and twisty tho ...

Will have a hunt for some of that graphite lube sounds like the trick.

Sticky throttle.

Any tips for loosening up a throttle cable?

It's been fine so far, been doing a little wet weather riding lately and today I noticed the throttle is not returning. It's not hard to open or close, just doesnt return.

In the past I have removed the cable on other bikes entirely and soaked it in ...
