All good advice and things to try at that link, however for a brand new 2014 bike I would expect it to work without having to fix or modify things myself

Thanks for the speedy response, I will be taking my bike down for a mapping update in the near future before the season starts, I will also be treating myself to some new mots gear and maybe some new bits, I like the look of some of that btwice gear. I think they are having a grand opening open house sometime soon and I am interested to take a look at the new premises and bikes

Why did the distributor make a special trip to look at everyone's bike? We're you contacted by them or were they out there for a show?

Take it back to the dealer and have them correct it

I wish we could change the title of this post, it just sounds wrong.......

Repair kit, I had one go and it was the o ring on the plunger, you could try just the o ring but the kit is cheap enough for peace of mind

Not compulsory in Canada as far as I know but I do see a few people with them

Nice to see that in addition to the actual safety benefits of the lanyard switch, people consider Bo!!ox scratching when deciding on placement......bravo!

so just like the rest of us then, promoting a product by paying for it ourselves.......so can I call myself a factory rider?

I put a set of swingarm guards on mine and it basically stopped the pin from working as the guards held the stand off the arm pin so I cn now operate with my foot

Another method suggested to me would be to use a medium flat-blade screwdriver wedged between the nut and frame

what map number are they up to now? It has been a while for me so I may need to see them when they get back in Ontario

Ah! someone else who has experienced the frustration of the brake pedal nut....I am not alone! I ended up using an oversize open ended wrench angled in from the front whilke simultaneously turning the torx bolt until the nut rotated itself into the wrench, mine did not take too much turning of the torx to get the nut loose so I was fortunate not to damage the nut or round any corners. Installation was the reverse, tightened it by hand as far as possible and then used the wrench while turning the torx the other way to tighten.

can't you just vapour blast them down again?

You may not need to sell it ric, apparently the new starter part will retrofit and hopefully will be available shortly for purchase, although I have no idea of cost I would hope it would be cheap enough for current owners without being ripped off

is the hole in the centre case or the clutch cover?If the oil has petrol mixed with it I would say you have a clutch side crank seal leak allowing some of the crang charge to be pushed throught to the gearbox and mixing with the petrol

Your post said you were looking for a new one!

Sandifords has a brand new one listed at this link: http://www.jimsandiford.co.uk/silencer-18310-nn3-830-240-p.asp

mmmmmmm...strawberry milkshake, my favorite! I take it the piece of metal on the piston is the piece from the hole in the head?

Or just get one of those btwice throttle bodies that have the idle screw built in, still need to have the tps set when you install but you can then adjust the idles anytime you want without further tps setting

Nice!...did you use it to do that to the skull it is resting on?

I'll be back..........

Looking at the pic I would say small lip to te top so that the hex nut locks down on it

Ha! First thing I noticed was the scratch as well

Thought it may have been a stick on graphic wrap, if painted whoever did it did an excellent job.
