Small run out to Dunstable downs to clear the cobwebs

Have a fantastic trip, everyone!

Bike reg/recs are notorious failure points. In a BEC they may be worse as they potentially won't have the same cooling airflow as they would have on the bike.

😁

Dont forget guys north east meet tomorrow night 7pm @ the church mouse chester le street

Weather forecast is looking promising

@Jason_B there's definitely a whole range all called G3 🙄

What are they?

I’ll have to check what I have a work tomorrow but I believe G3 is regular grade.

@Jason_B thanks but which compound for polishing? From what I can see they're all yellow bottles and there seems to be lots of different grades

I have a set of standard track wishbones In nice condition

Thanks Howard that will be great thanks I'll PM you. Cheers

I also use water with it, less likely to burn the paint. It will get messy, well for me it does lol

I have used Farecla G3 (yellow bottle) on cars for year with no problems. Haven’t used it on my westy before but wouldn’t have any issues in using it.

I'm astounded this got no replies. I thought the club would have loads of expert detailers. Or have I asked a stupid question?

Excellent.. good luck

Sorry to hear about this, it will be a different chapter in your life for now but you will soon be back Westfielding. Best of luck sweetie x

Sorry to hear this and glad you are ok. my advice is get the car home and locked in your garage, don’t let it out of your sight, any assessors can come to you, that way you’re in a better position to keep the salvage if its written off. once write offs get in the system they can soon disappear to a salvage yard miles away.

After a nose cone and bonnet for a narrow body car. Colour not really important thank you jez

Just hope it is either battery or voltage regulator, nothing worse... start to hate this car.. Tommorow will get new battery , try to start and see what voltage regulator supply to current. As I was told should be approx 14,4V. From memory I saw only 12,8-13,5 V this area. So maybe voltage rgulator failure.

Postie delivered these from Westfield over the weekend. The last part that I needed for my current project:

I already got in touch with these guys wich are 10min driving from where I live: https://www.speedcarbon.com/ living in the motor valley has some advantages but the fix will take place after the alps tour planned for friday 27th 😁 I will update you about the repair the next month

I hope you get them repaired ok.. I am sure there are plenty of companies in Italy that can mend and strengthen the arms... There can be problems with the factory steel ones also.. It will be interesting how yours last once repaired

Price drop, and fresh MOT 👍

From memory... lots of race bikes don't have a battery and hence have external starters. The external starter is typically a bump start in a box... put bike in gear, spin up rear wheel using the starter and dump the clutch.... IIRC some manufacturers went posh and had starters that plugged into the engine/gearbox somewhere. In WSBK, years ago, Ten Kate were one of the few teams to keep a battery on the bike as they said the ability to start the bike easily after an "incident" was worth the weight. Everyone else had to run along, drop the clutch and jump on, or get a push from the marshalls.
