I wouldn't now swap Morph for another Blade, no way (shake)...I love the fact you have to push the 675 into getting there, it's an active and involved ride and it's making biking just loads more fun (clap

...if it helps at all, I think you're spot on about grin factor :?


Ditto with my Old Blade and the Tuono and/or the Ducati.

My Fireblade was a 2003 model so still had some midrange but the current crop of litre bikes all seem to be about top end power and little midrange...and that on a litre bike has limited use on our roads these days.]]> Duke63 The Marketplace Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:46:49 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?4,68107,68211#msg-68211 Re: Kwacky`s 20th Birthday party in January 2011..who`s coming? http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?4,68107,68211#msg-68211

Maybe if I am successful in wangling a free ticket (bandit).

I'm unsure at the moment.
I'd hate to buy a ticket, for it then to 'ommer down all day (rain)


Well, the lass at our local Triumph stealer is meant to be going as the rep for them but she's only got CBT and a 125 scoot. Her ride let her down so I offered to pillion her down if she could get me a free ticket. I completely forgot about the Renault World Series, supposed to be taking dad and my bro although they aren't too fussed about it.

I agree with you it's sounding more like a fueling issue but I do worry that those injector cleaners can sometimes make more problems than they solve. They remove carbon deposits, but if the deposits have built up over time then they can have replaced seals and so by cleaning it all out you can make yourself a bigger headache than you started with.]]> hubington Pit Monkeys Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:26:39 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68166,68197#msg-68197 Re: how hard is it to remove the swing arm? http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68166,68197#msg-68197 hubington Pit Monkeys Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:24:53 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?12,68196,68196#msg-68196 StompGrips! http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?12,68196,68196#msg-68196 D41 The Marketplace Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:23:36 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?12,67624,68195#msg-68195 Re: daytona 650 for sale (yellow) http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?12,67624,68195#msg-68195 D41 The Marketplace Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:19:37 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68194#msg-68194 Re: Bogging Down http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68194#msg-68194 D41 Pit Monkeys Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:12:10 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68166,68193#msg-68193 Re: how hard is it to remove the swing arm? http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68166,68193#msg-68193 D41 Pit Monkeys Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:07:21 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?4,68188,68192#msg-68192 Re: 2010 Darwin awards http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?4,68188,68192#msg-68192 D41 Slapper Chat Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:42:27 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68191#msg-68191 Re: Daytona Special edition http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68191#msg-68191

so if you had it ticking over at 6K rpm going down the dual carridgeway and opened it up to go through to 12K rpm it would respond quickly but going from 0-6K rpm it was more slugish than it should be?.

7th Place: A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran", accidentally, jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

6th Place: While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom, when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

5th Place: Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was robbing. Death was caused when the long flash light he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free, rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

4th Place: Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.

3rd Place: After walking around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into Florida 's H&J Leather &Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter.. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.

HONORABLE MENTION: Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 a.m. So they lit a stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed!

RUNNER UP: Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 a.m. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other (!) to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.

AND THE WINNER IS...
Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves 'shit happens'!]]> Hoodlum Slapper Chat Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:17:26 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68187#msg-68187 Re: Bogging Down http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68187#msg-68187
it's just if a coil had failed I'd have thought it would be sloppy across the whole of the power band.

I'd go for a spin round the block before doing any work to try and get a better idea of what situation is causing the problem. Even just fire it up in neutral and take it through the rev range to see how it reacts without any load on it.]]> hubington Pit Monkeys Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:08:13 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68186#msg-68186 Re: Daytona Special edition http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68186#msg-68186 binno650 Biking Banter Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:00:59 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68185#msg-68185 Re: Daytona Special edition http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?2,67903,68185#msg-68185 Spudda Biking Banter Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:57:39 -0500 http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68184#msg-68184 Re: Bogging Down http://www.tankslap.co.uk/read.php?8,68164,68184#msg-68184

It happened as low engine speed, when I gave it some up the dual carriage way it pulled as it should and it changed down as should when slowing
