Well on route to work, had a slight off, low side so minimal damage but still both brake levers, nose fairing snapped along with double bubble screen, bent handle bar and lots of scratches to side panel and belly pan, so if anyone has those parts available, had a look on eBay for some bits but might upgrade to levers to pazzo or equivalent, but fresh rubber damp roads and a last minute turn don't mix !!! On the plus side just like Marquez got my elbow down but not in the way I wanted !!!! Will post some pics later

Shame,but as already said,at least you're ok and the damage is minimal.

So really just an excuse to spend more money and do some upgrading. Wink

Yes mate perfect, massive difference a lot smoother and mid range is loads better, but while my bike was in for a service at AP treated myself to an open airbox and forza chip!! Plus got my AP rear sets finally fitted after about 2 years sat in a box in storage also a new DID chain, was an expensive day but definitely worth it!!

So the bike has been sat in a mates garage since last October, and with Having a mega busy year. Finally got round to sorting out a major starting issue, new genuine 150amp solenoid and upgrade battery from aprilia performance (have had loads of the larger batteries over the years but never last too long??), also a set of Johnboy's upgraded power leads got these all fitted on Saturday which went quite smoothly and the bike started instantly which was awesome, for years always struggled with this, also fitted some pazzo levers while I had the bike in bits.

So hopefully will get the bike mot'd next Friday so it will be all sorted for now!! 😉

Took bike for mot today got absolutely soaked but passed with an advisory with fluctuation on front brake, tester thinks one of the discs could be warped but I can't feel anything though the lever, but the bike has been stood for 10 months so I think it could be a sticky caliper. Any thoughts??

So went out on the bike yesterday, was good apart from the clutch slip which was really annoying couldn't open the throttle more than an 1/8th without it flying up the revs, have fitted some pazzo levers recently so could be the clutch lever push rod, mine is stuck solid had to heat it up and twist with vice grips to get any movement, so does anyone know what the part number is or who stocks them, looked on Internet but only af1 stock them and nearly $40 plus post seems a bit expensive, gonna ring ap tomorrow also

Cheers

Well managed to re-tap the old adjuster, got grub screw out needed a vice and some mole grips, to free off the adjuster, ran an m6 second tap down it, cleaned it all up with some emery cloth, sorted!!!! 😉

Hopefully this might sort out the issue with the slippage
