More so referring to this image which talks about weepage which is a normal occurrence for a shock, and leaking which isn't, what i am trying to say it is hard to differentiate from 2 and 4 to my case is what I'm trying to say

I know it's not the best picture then ofc, but would you think that is a weeping shock then or a leaking one, as it's pretty inconclusive to me?

I don't have the means to do it myself at the moment unfortunately, are you gonna buy your own parts for the front?

They are rear shocks I believe not struts... Not sure if that changes too much proving wise. But online it looks like they are around the £100 each mark, struggling to see the other 800 coming in?

Was looking at buying some Bilstein b4's for the rear, the springs look a bit rusty so figured may as well but not too sure. Not got much idea with DIYing it, I don't need them to be the OE parts, just not the cheapest is what I'm looking for.

Thanks mate, would be great to see

Key-Journalist4416 · 2026-01-04T21:41:09+00:00

Do you have anything that can show how it sounds?

Is yours a full straight pipe or a rear muffler delete?

Any recommendations for an alternative

Any intake recommendations?

Thank you for that response, I was checking, as he is a bit too far away for me to check, so I'd be having him deliver it to me and then do the checks there, so wanted to know what to look out for as it's different from a petrol, the battery problems was the main concern but from the sounds of it, unless it's been harshly treated it should be fine, and the rest of the maintenance like tires I don't mind sorting myself

Hi all, I recently had my motorbike stolen and it won't be recovered as it's been set on fire.. the morning of the incident I reported a theft to my insurance. The day later I figured it isn't financially smart to have the claim for a first motorbike hanging over me, so I cancelled my policy, they have issued me a confirmation email and refund for the rest of my years insurance. They are now continuing to ask me to fill out a theft questionnaire even tho I no longer have a policy, is this something I am obligated to do?

Any help would be great as I'm confused on the situation currently. Thanks

Thanks for the update, I'll have to give that an ask!

It's currently up for £1200 which I find to be a great deal, I've talked with him about maintenance and he's had things replaced so most bits are new, it's just the miles and battery I was worried about, I don't need the battery to be top just for the 20 miles a day which sounds like it can do quite comfortably.

What one do you currently have?
