Kent boy heads into Essex........Went for a ride today over to Harpers near Southend.....When we left this afternoon the sun was out and it was quite nice....only a little snow on the back roads. By the time my mate had tried on 10 different types of leathers it was 3.45pm and the sun was on...

Never had any problem going out in crazy weather, but the T is off the road at the mo so thats that. Rode to the bike shop in driving snow one time to get the brakes fixed. Just goes to show you just need to ride to the conditions.

Well, I've been braving the cold mornings for the lovely sunny days to commute on the bike this week. But tonight I was working late and came back in the dark.... for the first time on my 08 RSVR! Now thinking of winter mods.... primarily HIDs Anybody fancy a group buy of HIDs, recommend any...

Hi all, My most recent issue now is that when I start the bike for the 1st time after cooled down I hear a strange electrical noise. At 1st I thought it was the exhaust heating up but its definatly coming from near the seat. The sound is similar to something arking. Happens about 8 times untill...

I've been riding the bike into work this week. I always use the cold start and it always starts first time. I leave it idling while I get my lid and gloves on - 30 seconds maybe. However, tonight after about 20 seconds with 36c showing, the idle suddenly shot up to about 4,000 rpm. I dropped it...

When my bike is cold it has a tendancy to cut out when I am down changing gears i.e coming up to a set of traffic lights down changing from 2nd to 1st. When running nice and warm there isn't an issue, bike runs sweet, it just when it is cold. Any ideas?

I have a spare pair of the excellent Knox Cold Killers black Thermal Undergloves brand new and boxed. £10 plus £2.50 p+p for UK (paypal) pm me if interested

Finished work last night to find my bike under snow and ice. The bike started up well:thumbup - Thank god for optimates :lol but when I wheeled the bike back it felt stiff like somthing was stuck on the wheel almost like I forgot to remove the disclock. I had removed it:devious When I managed...

So my baby is being held up in my dad's garage in a very cold part of Wisconsin. In the past two weeks the temperatures have been anywhere from -14 F, to 30 F . Its sitting in a unheated garage under a cover, and not on stands. Two questions 1. I noticed a small puddle of coolant under the...

I have seen alot of starting problem threads lately and have just had that problem my self. I wanted to start mine last week to change the oil the temp was about -4 and she did'nt want to start the battery was as flat as a Witches *** after a couple of goes even with a power pack it would turn...

Maybe I am getting old, but it feels like this winter it is colder than ever. My hands are suffering big time and the forecast does not look promising http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/southeast/#no_url. Can anyone suggest a decent set of gloves?

alright lads does anybody know whats needed to replace the chock/cold start cable? does the tank etc have to come off or is it jus a matter of feeding it through with removing anything? cheers:thumbup

Well after i was on the site this afternoon and never planned on going out i fell victim to the winter sun again :doug. Sorry to all those who didn't get out today :thumbup
