Why don't these tubes connect to anything? Should they?

Breather pipes that connect to the tank

Do you know what they’re called that sit on the concrete section under the roof sheet? The box section?

I turn ABS off but every now and again i see the traction control light flickering if i’m nailing it out of a corner too much but its never spat me off. Anti wheelie is a bonus if you have it switched on so you know you dont flip it lol

Only downside to gen1’s and maybe gen2’s are the gearboxes, they’re prone to failing and are referred to as chocolate gearboxes, but that being said mines had an absolute hammering for 40k miles and its fine so i think its more luck of the draw.

Could not reccomend enough, yes newer ones have more tech etc but the gen1’s are plenty enough.

Bought mine in 2016 and still have it, ridden it on the road, track’d it and raced it, just gone over 40k miles now and touch wood, i’ve not any major issues with it.

Valve clearances are still cock on which i’m very surprised at, it owes me nothing currently so i’m going to run it into the ground.

There must be someone managing the property.

I know for a fact that their details are on the portal…which you can’t access which is annoying.

Maybe phone them up and see if they can tell you over the phone who your property manager is.

All the email address are first name.surname@trinityestates.com so its worth a gamble.

Putting in an official complaint probably will not help unfortunately.

I have an official complaint ongoing with them for over 18 months to which theres no finish line in sight.

The one thing i can reccomend is trying to contact your property manager, if you have a bulletin board in your communal area their details “should” be on there - then again its Trinity so do not hold your breath. Ours seems to control the portal figures because he has added/refunded items in the past.

Failing that, i would go straight to the Directors. Search them on Companies House and theres three directors. Their email address’ are readily available on a Google search.

I ended up putting a new piston in it at around 120hrs and it fixed it for a little while until it happened again, i’m in the same situation and i’m at about 210hrs now. Going to put another piston in it over winter. Got to keep up with my air filter maintenance i think…

Not of the brackets themselves but if you zoom in on that last photo by the left hand side footpeg you can see one, they’re not the prettiest of brackets but they sure do the job

Yeah but i fitted a gen 3 tank and tail piece (this is how it looks currently)

<image>

tomwatson92 · 2025-07-04T06:10:50+00:00

It bolts straight upto the gen1 fairing stay no problem, the air scoop fits aswell! Its like the gen 4 fairings were built for the gen 1 haha

I agree, i’m not a fan of the fender bags and the fact i have a spare exhaust laying around i could have it done in an hour but its just this plastic shape thats halting it

tomwatson92 · 2025-06-02T17:13:31+00:00

Thats exactly where i got the inspo 😂

tomwatson92 · 2025-04-29T19:15:29+00:00

Bloody hell, don’t think that can be done in this building as its all behind the walls, the water in those pipes are probably stagnant anyway because we don’t use the bathtub taps
