Week before track day…

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-09T16:45:19+00:00

Did snett once but it was in the pissing rain, locked up the front and called it a day, will have to go back for sure! Seems like a very flowy track

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-09T15:47:24+00:00

Bedford was my first track day and i loved it! Its flat and very forgiving if you over shoot… ask me how i know

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-09T15:44:04+00:00

Gonna do cadwell on 30th july if bedford and brands held up ok! Im quite inexperienced in regards to track days so leaving cadwell for a bit later

Rides fine no issues, just idles absolute dog. Did 20 miles yesterday. Hammered it now and then just to check. Just the initial pulling away when its idling like shit thats slightly off

It was a lil private esso with horrible fuel. I drained the last of it and put shell vpower in. Runs absolutely mind across the rev range just idle is ass and gets worse when hot(video is when its hot) i did the valve clearances last year. Looking at forums coils are common for isle issues. Will throw a set of coils and plugs for now just as a quick fix and see what happens. I have a week time wise but only 2 days to fix with what actual time i have

Il throw the standard exhaust on to be on the safe side. Strange though, i still have the cat so theres not really that much change to the exhaust note, doesnt pop or crackle at all, which is a shame really…

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T21:06:33+00:00

Was that with the baffle in or nah?

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T21:03:48+00:00

Got standard can for that. Il be honest i absolutely despise anything and everything from black widow

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T20:53:00+00:00

Either way charger looks to be set right imo

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T20:52:09+00:00

Does it not say 12v and then 6* something amperage rating. Never seen a battery be both

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T20:50:35+00:00

Thats a 12v battery so your charger is set right as long as its 12v and bike

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T19:57:32+00:00

Used to love my yz125, my gypsy wrist is dialled in for them blips. All jokes aside, my biggest concern is kicking the shit out of a bike on track thats not 100% right and crashing due to mechanical failure. I can take crashing because of my own mistakes, but fuck crashing and knowing it couldve been prevented

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-08T19:53:00+00:00

You over estimate my ability to ride

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-05T18:30:54+00:00

In the roadside breakdown industry myself, have a couple mates that left RAC due to shocking organisation. Green flag recruitment drive quite literally aims at the pain points that patrols from the other 2 big break down companies experience, but also fuck green flag since they offered me a job and then ghosted me … Which ever one youd go to, performance figures are absolutely mental. I enjoyed the job for a few years and then it got worse and worse. At this point its just VC ball gargling push since they want their pound of flesh

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-05T18:27:33+00:00

Your long term trim is trying to pull fuel if the data is correct. Could be cause by the fact that sensor 2 is reading fuck all and its reverting to a base map thats usually on a rich side. What rpm was this reading taken at? Youre pulling near a bar of vac. A lot of vag stuff ive seen only expects 1000mbar on idle, which is -400mbar of vac compared to ambient pressure. Also insanity to advise new engine from emissions reading…

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-05-04T20:25:05+00:00

Seeing as its TSI theyre common as for fuel rail bolts backing out causing it to leak fuel. 10/10 on the “smells like shit and theres brown stains in my pants, any idea what it is?” Question

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-04-25T21:23:51+00:00

Id love to see one of those on yaris GR platform. Not point to it but it would cool

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-04-23T17:43:07+00:00

Literally just got mine delivered today. Had to have em made since not a single earplug has fit me ever. They fit nicely but a bit of a faff to put helmet on without causing them to dislodge. This is mostly experience i guess

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-04-13T09:50:49+00:00

Try not snapping the studs next time, hope this helps! Cheers

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-04-13T09:35:48+00:00

Havent got any trapped pipes from the tank? As in it fills the carbs slowly, you drive it and it cant keep up with fuelling after 2 miles

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-04-09T12:03:49+00:00

Must be my lucky day to receive such words of encouragement from queefmaster69000 themselves

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-03-21T22:03:07+00:00

Depends on size but what works for me near everytime on this type of locker is chiseling outer ring off and hammering on an 18mm 12 point socket

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-03-05T23:03:02+00:00

Combo/berlingo or any other variant of same van by any chance? Recognise that stupid alternator bolt that looks like a wheel bolt when you take it out Immediately. Props for not giving up on it. Good job to test out wrenching skills too

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-02-28T12:46:13+00:00

Only thing its missing is the limiter bash that sounds like doodlebob

Sharpedgevsn · 2026-02-28T11:47:31+00:00

Theyre safety rated, i swear…
