yes , only checked tho ,not replaced, there doesn't appear to be any unduly play or movement,might have to re-fit stock exhaust for mot,although I cant see "not for road use" stamped anywhere,but theyre a good bunch at the mot station, keen but fair...

not really, it just seems a higher pitch as opposed to a deep tone like the fmf,probably some new wadding will make a difference ,if I can get it open , haven't looked yet,

it rides really nice,and much comfier than my bluey with the scooped seat,i might look into trying to swap it for a full foam one,although I'm very short in the leg,it seems a tad quicker off the mark than mine due to the gearing, [ shhhh don't tell him tho ]

What would a bit of crackling on the overrun suggest? Too rich?

yes too right, or some purple fork gaiters,or even half way to a new throttle slide, however I did manage to sort the sticking throttle for now by removing the free play in the cables as suggested by another member [ sorry cant remember you ] BUT A BIG THANKS

The extra free flow of the exhaust causes there to be a small amount of unburnt fuel pulled through into the exhaust and the heat of the exhaust causes those little drops of fuel to go bang(pop)

£60 Bast*rds! Jeez it just a way of clawing even more money out of us! Unbelievable, bad weather they are having a laugh!!! Imagine the amount of £60's they have kept over the years! Especially in winter!

absolutely, its a f@@@ing outrage, I think I was even more pi@@ed off than haden, I really felt for him.not just the money but he is itching to get his test passed, he was very anxious about it
only to be told to go home, its windy now and will be tomorrow apparently,god knows what he,ll be like if its cancelled again,??
hes got to meet the instructor at the training centre at 8.30am then after an hour re-fresh he,ll be riding down to the test centre,
FINGERS CROSSED

If its proper windy then yeah prob is safer for a learner, but keeping your £60 is outrageous.
