You stick air in yours?

I've been filling mine up with oil. Am I doing it wrong?

Too poor to afford the oil I need to fill them

yes horribly wrong, you should use a mix of nitrogen and oxygen, roughly 80/20 throw in a little bit of a few other gasses too.

Anyone ever used pure nitrogen for a laugh?

I also see, except it's slightly incorrect :)

Pure nitrogen, N or more commonly found as N2, is not the stuff that makes you laugh.  N2O is the good stuff

That pun was semi unintentional, N2 would cause aspixiation, not laughing, serious question though anyone used pure nitrogen?

I was talking bout the ratio of nitrogen and oxygen, which is in the air.

I haven't tried nitrogen in tyres but some shops offer it, no real major benefits to everyday driving, maybe try it in your race bike tyres.

That was deep bro...

Agree with dean, anyone that runs nitrogen for a road car is wasting money. Motorsports are the only place you would care about the stability improvements.

Wiring loom out, it's getting cut down and some bits are getting moved, I'm also buying a radiator fan that I'll wire up on a switch.

Bullshit thing was it was air box out, I fucking hate working with the air box, I'm always so paranoid I'm going to get some shit down there, then my brother started cutting up wood in the garage!!! WORST NIGHTMARE REALISED!

airbox back on now with loom out of bike....too scared.

Those valve stacks are adjustable, at 8000rpm they go from 150mm to 50mm, cool huh?

My cousin is staying with me this week, he's an AVS installer and did my alarm for me

Took less than 5 seconds to disarm the armed uniden alarm (terrible install, cheers PO/crowesport)

New avs s5 unit installed, suddenly I don't have voltage loss at idle etc o-o starts faster too lol. So good to have a proper turbo timer now, also whilst installing it we found that my air horn in front isn't actually plugged into anything, we plugged it in for lols and it toots like an old train.

Ya. Didn't get a chance pre season. I have about a week to get it done which is going to be a push.
FYI, light hone and new rings, new valves valve springs collets and retainers, new big end and main bearings, new cam chain, general seal replacement and a good once over clean up etc.

I LOOOOOVE WIRING!

stripped out the headlight, indicator and a few other extraneous bits and pieces, it'll make it 600 grams lighter (lololo) but honestly will make it easier to work on the bike.

Something went clunk when trying to start the Spitfire on Saturday, motor is locked solid, may end up having to do this:




Am hoping it might just be starter motor stuck engaged, need to pull it once the rain stops...
