Re: RB22 After Germany

Your second picture has a shinny polished spot, on the edge crown going down the side and over the side towards the skirt side where the ring groves are, with no carbon build up. It should match up to a place on the head where it was hitting the head the squish and the edge of the combustion chambe...

Re: RB22 After Germany

It was a racetour. Been sent back for examination, and yes I did get the quote "oh I've never seen or heard of that before".

Can you sort of show with a diagram or something the chamfering of the ring gap, I don't really want this happening again !!!

LTH clutch

Hello, Just got back from a European tour. Had a few problems with a new LTH clutch and thought it might have been my semi hydraulic setup causing the issues. However, I changed this setup to a normal cable setup and the issue still occurred. Basically the bite point on the clutch seems to move as t...

I tightened it up a bit to give some rear brake, however when the gear was loaded on for the next leg of the journey the weight o...

Re: wobblin

I would go with tyre balancing.

My RB started doing the same over 75ish when I first put Raceman tyres on.

I balanced the tyres front and back, no problems since.

Sudden bouncy front end

Hello, Out on the GP for a quick test ride on Sat. Filled up with petrol and when I left the petrol station the front end suddenly seemed to be really bouncy. Can't work out if I'm going insane or not but definitely more lively on the front end than I remember, unless I'm suddenly being paranoid. Co...
