By the way I got the battery from tayna.co.uk for £42 including postage.

It's Numax, not Yuasa but I've never had a problem with numax batteries so that doesn't bother me.

a week????

thats a mad hour in a morning shopping....


want to know how bad it can get? when you are going round a car park with a tape measure and camera looking at side indicators that might fit in a certain place....

I think some thought I was dogging....


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...

lol yep

but some one wanted to go shopping and i have learnt that THE BEST WAY TO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON CLOTHES FOR SOME ONE ELSE, IS NOT TO GO IN THE SHOP.....

But maybe i was too subtle....

I have done that before now, not for the falco though, for my TZR125 when I was a lad

I like the sound of the battery price - although is it the same power as the Yuasa TTZ14S-BS recently recommended in that PerformanceBikes article? - which I've seen is over 100 quid.....

Be afraid be very afraid.
I have spent a small fortune on my grey bike, and i have plans to spend a bit more.
The list of bits i have bought is quite long, but i have some nice items to fit over the winter months.
The bike will be unique to what i want and i am certain that when its finished it will look awsome :smt002
Cost :smt017 i would probably shit myself if i add it up :smt104
I won't be telling the missus what i have spent either :smt018



Another tip...... Don't ask on any forum what you need to buy next for your bike.
Have a plan and STICK TO IT
Tolerance will be our undoing.

Got the can, screen, air filter and PC3 fitted at the weekend, the bike is certainly a lot louder than it was with the standard parts.

Got the chain and sprockets arriving this week and then I'll just have to wait for the new shock to be fitted (I may as well do them both at the same time)
