RF OWNERS CLUB

Ah cheers slim,just what a few of my mates have said,it does go if you rev through it but then its going so damn fast since ive geared it higher lol

not sure but if you don't have one fitted, an ignition advancer does give some benefits..

I think mike /suzuiki goof set a little run of the advancers...sub £50 if i recall.

Does what the lads in the link say it does..

Heavier bar ends will help reduce vibes to hands , worth checking the rubbers on the top yoke too. rubber washers behind rearsets will help with the feet vibes. As Slim says stock pegs are best too.

Also +1 on jaz’s comment. The ignition advancer is a worthy addition. I’d recommend to anyone.

Cheers lads i may try the ignition advancer,but i had a TRE on my busa and i didnt like the fuelling at low revs so i took it off

RF ignition advancer just makes bike more but more eager and bit more torquey. All helps

If you ever have the spare cash it’s worth a try. Or try ride someone else’s with one fitted before you buy.

Thanks Mike,ive also noticed on my bike the chain tension makes quite a difference too.I used to have it set at 35mm,but its far smoother at 25-27 mm,

I do know what you mean actually about the chain. Mine was worse when sprockets were worn. You changed yours lately?

Just done mine and chain few months ago and it’s lovley hardly ever needs adjusting now and I’m trying to make sure I take better care of it.

I set mine at 30mm on the sidestand, when I sit on the bike, there is about 15mm of slack, if I let the chain get to 35mm + the gear changes become a bit clonky

I put a new chain and sprockets on recently with an alloy rear renthal, changed my mind and changed it back to a steel JT sprocket before riding it, thought I'd try some longevity testing

The jt sprocket is 43t, I had a 45t renthal alloy on the rear before, I think I liked the shorter gearing of the 45t, but if I change back to a 45t now, will I be interfering with chain and sprocket wear too much, probably not, because it's a rear large sprocket, it's not even done 500 miles at the moment.

Yes i changed the chain and sprockets at the beginning of summer,and put a 3 teeth smaller rear on,which is great for fast cruising at 500 rpm less at 70mph,and she still has loads of torque for overtakes.I have just recently fitted a Loobman gravity fed chain oiler,which works and only cost £20.

Hi Mike,have you still got the Yoshi rs3 can?

Sold unfortunately mate to Eddie on here, Keep a eye out I get them from time to time, though old wobbler wants one so he has first refusal if/when I get another one.

Ok cheers mate :-bd:Any meets coming up before winter comes

Not sure if any more meets this year I’m afraid. Think last one was bit lack lustre. I must try harder to get to them. Keep eye on the events section if one going on will pop up there.
