I pulled into a petrol station today, jumped off bike and went to start to fill HER up, "waiting waiting waiting" the look through the window and the guy inside was signaling for me to take my lid off.

I did then he started the pump, there must be some bad peeps about. I will not go back there again. They had 3 million cameras on the forecourt so they must have my plate, not happy with that !

I was riding down the highway and noticed the lights dim/flicker, not really noticable, kept riding on. Went to a serivice station for a drink. Bike wouldnt start. No headlight, speedo lights etc dimmed. After numerous attempts got it jump started, speedo went crazy, bike was spluttering due to locked open throttle due to bar end catching, then finally rev up to high rpm and stopped. I can jump the bike and it will idle, headlight isnt working and bike cuts out at around 1500 rpm. Please Help!!! Hi all,

The new chain is D.I.D 530ZVM2, a high strength chain recommended by D.I.D for this application. Initially I did not replace either sprocket as wear was minimal. I immediately noticed a noise not previously present. I can best describe it as a rattle sound. I did some careful observation and summarize the findings as follows. 1. The noise is speed related (cycle speed, not engine rpm). It is noticeable at 20mph and has a definite volume peak at 50mph. Above 50mph I cannot tell as wind noise dominates. 2. The noise is related to throttle position. It is loudest with neutral throttle, less under acceleration, and disappears with trailing throttle. 3. I experimented with slack adjustment (within an acceptable range) - no discernable effect. 4. To be sure, I replaced the front sprocket - no change. From the above, I am almost certain that the chain is responsible for the noise. The absence of the the noise under trailing throttle can be explained. Under this condition, the tension side of the chain (top) becomes slack and the chain drops on the rub block, damping the vibration and noise. Has anybody else had a similar experience? Is there any cure, or do I just live with it. I cannot find anything wrong that would lead to a problem. I installed a new drive chain on my 929 at 18K miles.

From the pattern it made in there it looks like it came in from the rubber tube that comes from the engine into the airbox.. I'm assuming this is blow-by? Is there something I need to do, can I minimize this, etc.?
