it was the brampton run - actually, i think it may have been posted on here as i was beta testing the app at the time....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

And yes, convincingly lapped by Keef - who lapped everyone bar the two chaps in white power ranger suits and Jay "what corner - oh that corner...excuse me while lie down".....

If you are going to do the filter,have a mate give you a hand to lift the tank,the banjo bolt on the return is a twat to undo/replace.
I always remove the banjo bolt from the throttle body end if removing the tank, and thread it back between the T/B's
Also i don't remove the pivot pin under the seat that holds the tank,but the 4 bolts that hold the bracket that bolt it down to the sub frame.
I find this makes the tank removal relitively easy :smt002

I agree - much better way to do it. But installing a QD fitting on the flow line to the injectors at a suitable point would be the icing on the cake... :smt003

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
