I'll third that,

Just replaced the horrible Michelins on my 996 with some Diablos, and they are lovely, nice profile and seem to heat up and grip really well.

Timing:
We are due to start at 10am, but if you could plan on being there for 9:30 that will give us a bit more time to sign in and get kitted up.

Address:

Another vote for 50mm half system Termis and FIM Ultimap.

The other bonus is that the FIM Ultimap should be configured for the single injector conversion. This gives a much cleaner throttle...

easy way to check this is to apply the front brake, turn the handlebars to one side and rock the bike back and forth. If you can still hear the clunk, then get the front wheel off the deck...

Changing the head angle

Hello there peeps,

Just wondering if anyone has sharpened up the head angle for road use. If so what difference does it make?

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Cheers,

Simon

Weeksy,

cost seems to be about the same at the moment, so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

They do sell Sil Moto as well, don't know if the Tec Moto stuff is just rebadged though. They seem to be separate product lines.

Anyone got a Tecmoto exhaust?

Chaps/chappesses,

Just wondering if anyone has got one and if so what they think of it. Prices seem really good, but I'd quite like to hear a testimonial first.

Cheers,

Andy,

Sorry for sounding a bit narky/hurt, I'm having the mother of all days workwise.

Must be particularly galling, particularly if you have been affected.

All I'm doing is relaying the details. The "majority" of the faults happen on the rear rockers and it seems to be more "common" on 748's. That's not to say that it...
