What did you do to your bike today?

[phil675]

I keep having to tighten up the screws or whatever you call them that hold the cable in on the clutch lever. I notice it when it creeps a little with the clutch down in first, and sure enough the screwy bits need tightening.

Why does this keep happening?

Pics of what screws you mean?

Think you mean the clutch cable freeplay adjuster?

If so you either need one with a locking tab (TL1000S example, see the little sprung metal plate behind the adjuster):

Or one of these (might require a longer cable, depending on the state of your existing one):

 

[Fireskull]

Yeah thats what I was thinking, there should be a locking tab that its always pushed against so it doesn't come loose...

Had the same problem on the SV. It always needed tightening.

Puncture fixed! The guys at the shop just replaced the inner-tube rather than a new tyre jobby. That has saved me a fortune! First service out of the way too .

Is there anywhere online that sells dark visors? I can see tinted, but think those are the road legal ones.

Plenty of places, Sports bike shop, race visors, visor shop, the visor shop.

Pretty much anywhere that sells helmets to be honest!

They'll almost all have dark tint or mirrored visors for "track use only".

 

[misterjingo]

I was searching on sports bike shop and the darker visors I could see were specified as "tinted". I'll look for the track use only bit.

Didn't want to order something to find I'd bought the wrong thing(!)

 

[tom_e]

They will be dark tint is basically black from the outside.

For example I had one of these http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/233055 on my old helmet and although it doesn't look dark in the picture it's basically as dark as a pair of sunglasses.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Yep you want the dark tint, most helmets will have a dark tint and normal tint visor. Do you have a Shoei NXR?

Dark tint will look black from the outside, no-one can see where you're looking But from inside they're perfectly fine even on a cloudy day.

I have an arai axces 2.

I've just ordered a "dark smoke" race visor

Same helmet as me Can't remember where I got my dark visor from, I got a free visor bag too which is handy as you can wear it round your waist and have a clear visor on you in case you get caught out

 

[Captain]

These have just popped up Could make an offer, few marks but that's no big issue!

[RyanF]

Ever had any issues with a dark visor? What's the punishment if you're stopped by the rozzers?

 

[TallPaul_S]

Nope, they're not bothered unless you're riding with one on when it's dark, which to be fair is stupid as you can't see a thing!

YZ fork seals are leaking all over the garage lol, think I need them changing!
