Chain arrived today:

Almax series 3 1.5M

The only serious choice. Not light though, but we can't have it both ways unfortunately!

This is just for overnight with a ground anchor so not fussed how much it weighs.....but it is roughly 15KG with the lock

Adjusted the chain and clutch on the SV and tried to see what's rubbing the front disc on the ybr it looks like it might just be due to the brand new pads. Hopefully it won't fail the MOT due to it being something more sinister.

 

[Scooby_WR1]

Crashed it

 

[adscan]

Oh dear

What happened?

 

[Captain]

Damn you ok though?

 

[Minibiker]

No way hope your ok though mate

 

[MowyTone]

Bikes can be repaired....as long as you are ok mate

 

[Scooby_WR1]

Thanks guy's.
Im surprisingly fine considering i slid into a kerb hard enough for it to launch me into a hedge
I was expecting lots of pain when i saw the kerb aproaching but got nothing.

Don't really know how it happened but i lowsided on a corner, the bike just went down so fast i couldn't react.

I was properly gutted when i saw the exhaust though.

I did think low side when I saw the damage was all down one side... Glad you didnt come off to bad mate... The worst of the damage is definitely the Exhaust... other parts relatively cheap... are you part of the Street triple UK forum.. they are a great bunch and always willing to help out

 

[The_Abyss]

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Sounds like your gear did its job.

 

[TallPaul_S]

I was thinking that's any easy fix, until I got to the rear plastics and the exhuast!

Time for an upgrade then!!

I was exactly the same. Sat here going "well you got off pretty lightly ther...oh yeah maybe not "

Still none of it is unrideable needs to be fixed now damage I suppose and more importantly you came out ok although I bet you'll stiffen up a lot tomorrow.

 

[Fireskull]

Ouch glad you are ok Scooby_WR1, Bloody lucky hitting a kerb at speed!

 

[russell664]

Damn, at least you are okay mate.

The plastics are an easy fix, as are the levers and mirror etc... That exhaust looks bad though.
But, at least it is still rideable, and you are ok!

Yeah tell me about it- I have the 2M version, over 20Kg with the Stronghold. When I bring the S1KRR anywhere I have to lug it in a rucksack. Uncomfortable is not the word

 

[tom_e]

Can you not fit a tail pack? Sod 20kg on my back anytime I want to go for a ride!

Yeah I'm considering a "hackbox" as I have a spare pillion seat that I could drill and bolt a topbox on. Just worried that the pillion seat clamp might not be man enough for the leverage of the topbox.

Mostly I just take the KTM (990SM-T) as it has a proper topbox. Does mean the S1000RR hardly gets any use though. It was nicked once (with a non-Almax chain) so I'm rather paranoid.

The idea of an S1000RR with a topbox does kinda appeal to me though

 

[Fireskull]

Got a puncture.... :/

Those tyre plug kits on amazon, are they designed to be used as a temporary measure or can they be used permenantly? The tyre still has plenty of life left, I have all the facilities to remove the tyre so are there any other better plugs from the other side? Or just see if any local tyre place will plug it...?
