I cant recommend it enough. I did level one last year and learnt more in one day there than i had in all my life. Mind you, i had only been riding on the road for a couple of years, and im from the country where there is no rider training. Basically if you can ride around the block and make it back ...

My 636 does a real good fcukin bang sometimes. Get the flames happenin. Fuel economy is pretty bad though, reserve light comes on somtimes before 170km

Must have been the act of me deciding to break my new leathers in. Went down to Batemans bay yesterday. Sunny when i left the gong. Drenched when i got there. Came back today. Sunny when i left, torrential down pour just outside the gong. Maybe if i put my leathers on(if they arent stuffed :evil ...

Went for a run there today before lunch, was dry. The first section before Nelligen(?) I thought was good, nice and smooth road. There were some other good sections between there and Braidwood too, but some bumpy bits you gotta watch out for. Yeah and one of the hairpins is REAL rough, watch out for ...

Yeah it was an M10x1.25. I dont know why i thought it was left hand, probably cause i was having so much trouble trying to get it on. Which as it turns out, was just me stupidly not examining the situation correctly, and jumping to the wrong conclusion. No matter now, its fixed! Feels great to be ...

Well maybe my riding position is all wrong, but ive got an 03 636, and i get real sore wrists. I should mention though, i have broken both of them and had them operated on, so they probably arent the strongest. But i dont care, cause as soon as im out revvin the tits off it, nothing seems to bother ...

I did the Clyde last year on my way to the snowy ride. Some was alright, but a few sections were a bit rough. Remember one corner with some significant corregations in it. Maybe my bike is just rough as guts though...

Ok just in case anyone was interested, i got the bolt out today. It wasnt a stud like i was thinking. I couldnt figure out why i couldnt get the bloody nut to got on, it just wouldnt get take the thread when i was trying to do it up when in place. Stupid me, there is a little slot kinda thing that ...

Holy $hite!!! Thats incredible! Did these guys crash afterwards or what? How are they getting so much air, hitting a little ridge real fast or something?

Hey all, had a little prob with my 6 for a while. Had this weird creaking sound under brakes and when going over bumps. Took it to my mech. and found out it was a loose engine mount bolt on the left, and the nut had almost come all the way off the stud on the right!!!

Anyway, tightened up the left ...

Yeah well i did the big ride from the Gong to Threadbo. Ran great for about 400km then started being a dog again. No flames, just running crap. Got home and rang my mech. He suggested i take off the PC and check the plugs out. Removed PC, stopped playing up. Changed plugs. Done few hundred K's since ...

Just incase anyone cares, i took my bike into my local super mechanic the other day. Like i said, running a bit s#*t , using heaps of fuel etc. Hasent decided to cut out on me again. Anyways Steve at MaxPower in Wollongong chucked it on the dyno, and fiddled with the map a bit. Didnt do a full fine ...

The PC3 already has a custom map. I have the recipt for the install and tuning of it. And its not just the PC, i disconnected it and was still getting the afterfiring.:cry:

I originally thought it was too rich myself, thinking that the excess fuel was just burning up in the exhaust, but i read its ...

Well here's a little update just incase anyone is interested.

I followed the advice from several people i got from different places and took off the Power Commander. Rode the bike around for a couple of weeks and didnt have it cut out on me again. I emailed powercommander and told them and they ...

Nah hasnt been running hot. Im trying to track down the prob myself, i kinda spent all my cash on the bike Goin for a decent ride tomorrow, will see how it goes.
