Re: The Fuel Truth

Fresh hp ultimate for me but there is more to it than meets the eye when the petrol companies start adding ethonol to fuel.
E85 which most people would know as being 85% ethonol has a octane rating of 109 but you have to burn 60% more of it to get the same hp or marginally more. The good is your ...

Re: Quick Change Kits

Looks like a good idea if you are swapping wheels out all the time but the price is a bit scary .
Good if you are going from wets to drys or soft to medium front but at that price I would grabbing the spanners.

Re: 2013 zx636r review

I don't know why they would want traction control on one of these either, I had a 04 636 and spinning up was never a problem I would also go with a quick shifter it would cost little to do but they are probably worried about the price of the switch.
You have to go and see these things in the flesh ...

I will go with phill on this one hard med and soft can refer to carcass flex and not compound once the rubber over heats the tyre just falls to bits.

Re: ER6 blowing coolant

The core of the radiator can clog with road muck and a garden hose will get it out (external) just dirt and the like so see if you can see daylight through the core and if not hose it out.

They will run at 105 degrees at idle but around 70 when running.
