Barry returned from a doctor's visit one day and told his wife Carolyn that
the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live.

Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him. Of course she
agreed and they made passionate love.

Six hours later, Barry went to her again, and said, "Honey, now ...

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had
a near miss the other day.

I walked into B&Q at lunchtime and some old guy, dressed in orange,
asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and that was the end of that.

Those less suspecting might not ...

Hi mate, Thanks for the info. I would imagine it's the 11mm ones that I need. I can see what you mean about the valves making contact with the caliper on the front wheel, I had seen this mentioned on the VFR webring as well (I know.....I shouldn't be looking there, but VFR owners are grade A anoraks ...

Just forked out for some new rubber for the S at Ally Pally. I want to fit some Ariete Alloy Tyre Valves from M & P. They list 2 types, 8.3mm & 11mm, what is this measurement refering to? Not a lot of info on M & P's site regarding these. Have any of you guys fitted these to your rims? And if so ...

I think Archie's right, I they are bent in as standard.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info....I will have to save me penny's and order one.

I'm only just off the A127 at Kent Elms.

I only got the bike in May, its a 99 in Black with 107,000 miles on the clock, apart with the little hick up with the front brakes, she runs like clockwork.......must get the ...

I have now pumped the pistons out of the calipers, cleaned them up and reassembled the calipers. Bleed the front brake circuit.....no difference.

I checked the front pads, and they have worn down to 2mm, the wear limit acording to manual 1mm. I have now replaced them with a new set of EBC HH pads ...

Check out this beauty.....

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your input, I will go and play tonight.

Giving this a little more thought and going back to my original posting, I think it must be caliper related. If I clamp off the return from ABS pump I get a good solid lever! If I clamp off each individual front hose I get a good lever ...

Hi Jason,

Looks like a little job for tomorrow night then.

Are they bleed nipples on the top of the ABS pump? I have never had the tank off and seen the actual ABS unit. It may be air trapped up at the ABS unit, and its not pushing through. I will check and see if I can bleed it at the ABS pump ...

Hi Jason,

Thats what I thought, so I took it for a quick blat round the block, pumped the front brake lever and then grabbed a handfull of lever.....ABS cut in , bike stopped! Curious.

Hi Guys, Need a little help....Parked my 99 R1100S up 3 weeks ago, all working fine. Went to use it Sunday and the front brake lever went straight back to the bar on the first pull. If you pump it a couple of times, you get pressure up. I have since bleed the front brakes, no air came out. I have ...
