  1. Nice looking bike, I wish I had Repsol fairings on mine
  2. Sorry I can't offer any solution, but I did used to have a GS500F which had similar electrical issues (especially in the wet), so I can sympathise. It's a shame, because I loved that bike otherwise, I just couldn't trust it to start in the cold/wet without getting some expensive work done to it
  3. 100% this. I've only ever had modest-to-neglible pay rises whilst in the job (not including promotions), whereas I've always moved to new places for a decent bump in salary. It's a shame that loyalty is not rewarded these days, but that's the reality of it. Take advantage of the situation if you can
  4. Nob of the day for me is the stripy little yellow bast*rd that got into my helmet on the way to work this morning Luckily I was stopped at lights, so my little spaz-out didn't cause a crash, but I just learned a valuable lesson about when and where to open the visor for a bit of fresh air
  5. Not exactly what you're asking for, since it's not eligible for Prime, but this is a nice cheap riveter/breaker: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CJDD0EE Full disclosure: I didn't use it to break the chain, only to rivet the new one. I used this to break the chain: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01I4POX4Q Their combined price is about the same as the single tool listed previously, plus you also get an angle grinder for use elsewhere...
  6. Thanks for the advice guys. All done and dusted now, with a shiny new gold chain. I did check those rubber thingies inside the wheel, they're all in good shape, tar
  7. I had a fair amount of difficulty in attempting to remove the front sprocket over the weekend (ended up stripping the thread or whatever from the inside of what-must-have-been-a-cheap 14mm socket in doing so). I'm just on here to double-check - I am supposed to be turning it left-loosey aren't I?
  8. I assumed he meant continuing round to the 3rd exit, and 'going left' just meant turning off at the 2nd, but yeah, always a useful diagram to have when you're arguing with dickheads about which lane they should be in at a roundabout
  9. Just bought meself one of those mesh/armour thingies. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Cycling-Protector-Motocross-Protective/dp/B018QXEU76 Last rode a couple of days ago and was sweating absolute buckets in my insulated jacket I'm still sticking with the regular pants for now, just with the liner taken out.
  10. Fair point, never thought of that. I just thought it might have been a bravado thing, like choosing the hottest curry off the menu to impress a bird
  11. Nah, not another one of those wanky internet challenges, just a way of opening the topic "who the hell gets anywhere near maximum temperature on these things?" I can only use 40% max before it gets too uncomfortable. How high do you guys go?
