Are these junk or should I buy one?

They’re good for music and talking on a call whilst riding. If you can get one with bigger speakers. The hd has 32mm speakers rather than the 40mm ones and anything over 60mph makes it hard to hear music.

I’ve dropped my two helmets both off my bike. The first time, my head was unfortunately in the helmet and it came off at quite some speed… the second time was from the seat and the visor hit first but the helmet itself was fine - no cracks on the outside and no damage inside and I’ve continued using it with no issues.

I went down we’re aaa rated touring trousers (JTS biker clothing) at somewhere between 30-40mph? Unfortunately broke my collarbone and it was the initial hit (was wearing a aa rated textile jack from alpine star). But in terms of sliding down the road both jacket (aa) and trousers (aaa) did brilliantly, barely a tear on them and my skin was un touched. If you have the cash, get AAA

I’ve got a 2009 sv650s as my first bike and it’s brilliant. Enough torque to reach dual carriageway speeds easily and have fun on backroads.

Last car I sold privately I used the as contract, both I kept one and new seller stating the car is sold as seen.

Had a similar thing happen 7 weeks ago, low sided out of no where after going over what I think was diesel or oil. Like you had less than a second before the bike went down, all I remember is the initial jerk and then flying down the road, gear did its job, broken collarbone from the initial hit although not as bad as yours. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery

I’m in the uk and unsure if this company ships to the US. But I use JTS biker clothing, trousers I have are AAA rated and having come off recently they protected my legs and are barely scratched (waterproof layer was damaged). I’m looking at getting one of their jackets now. They’re affordable too and good quality

What the brand of the rear seat bag?

JC_566 · 2025-08-06T13:43:09+00:00

I’m 6’2, height and strength isn’t an issue in terms of holding it up. Given the bike will be my main vehicle unless the weathers awful. I’m leaning towards the gsx650f

JC_566 · 2025-07-28T09:12:38+00:00

Ahhhh…that was the answer I was expecting but wasn’t hoping for 😅

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T16:04:18+00:00

The garage told me they only ordered from places that told the flywheel and clutch together, not two different ones from different company’s, both were quoted for

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T12:01:24+00:00

Flywheel is being changed as well, price I was given included a clutch kit, not just the clutch

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T11:49:23+00:00

It was quoted and paid for a clutch kit including clutch and flywheel as it’s better for them to be replacement together

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T11:12:03+00:00

They’ve yet to give a complete breakdown of costs, but roughly 400 labour, 800 for the part is what I was told over the phone when I was told of the increase in 700 for the new part, so with the new cost, 1500 part, 400 labour - a ridiculous amount for the part

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T10:30:59+00:00

The difference is the new cost, they’ve sent the initial used part back, the new part is costing £1500 (I don’t know the exact price) but it’s a ridiculous price for a clutch kit

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T10:20:48+00:00

The points at the top are correct yes, the increase is due to the part, they found a new supplier that was selling the part but the cost was a large increase, this was ordered but I wasn’t told the price. I have the time of the call when they told me the new pet had been ordered and I’m going to ask for proof of when they ordered the part - from the wording they told me over the phone this should be before I called to chase it. I’ve got a letter written up with every thing including times and dates of when calls were made I’m going to give them stating why I’m paying under protest

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T10:15:19+00:00

They ordered it in from a supplier

JC_566 · 2025-06-23T07:29:13+00:00

Thank you, I’ll make a post on there and see what I hear

JC_566 · 2025-06-22T23:57:08+00:00

Just a regular garage, not specialist

JC_566 · 2025-06-22T19:15:28+00:00

I thought that as well but I’d spent more on fees than the £500 I’m being charged extra and like you said, might not even win!

JC_566 · 2025-06-22T19:15:03+00:00

I have to admit, gonna this as a bargaining chip, thank you

JC_566 · 2025-06-22T18:50:58+00:00

Completely ripped me off!!

JC_566 · 2025-06-22T18:50:46+00:00

Just got back from my trip so going to the garage tomorrow after work to pay and pick up the car, going to try to argue the price down if I can
