  1. Follow the wire to the front spindle sensor. It's the part what the spindle goes through and acts as part of a spacer.
     
  2. It's part of the Nemesis traction control. I take it you want the measurement of the part of the bracket that acts as the spacer?

    I'll get it to you in the next few hours.

  7. 4 of a kind, then a full house. What a difference 24 hours make.

    There's nothing like cleaning your tubes out to leave you with a sense of satifaction. :Woot:

  8. I took my exhaust to my local polishing man. £50 and no elbow grease required for a spotless finish.
     
  9. How long does it take to go back to looking murky? Does it depend how much water/rain hits it?
     
  10. Good question. I've had mine coming up 4 years with all its shiney exhaustness glory and it's still ok. That said, it's a sunny, sunny day pampered track toy. No exposure to winter crud associated with road riding.

  11. I never had to re-polish mine on the MV Agusta in 8 years of owning it. Again it was a pampered dry use only bike.

  15. This looks great! it's tempting me get sell my track bike and get Ducati track weapon. I was always told not to use CAR coolant in bikes as they are too harsh for the water pumps. Something to do with Silicon content?? Might be a load of rubbish.
     
  16. It's waterless coolant. I've used it in the Desmo and Streetfighter for a couple of years now. I'm a big fan.

    My Vespa GTS300 commuter sometimes sits in traffic and I've never had any problems with overheating. The benefits are that without water present, there's nothing to corrode the inside of the cooling system. There's also no build up of pressure, you can remove the radiator cap at 100 degrees. Try that with regular coolant :Wacky:
     
  17. Wow, sounds good stuff. Maybe i'm still thinking of the chocolate water pumps on the NC30. Car coolant used to kill them.
     
  18. You can see a bit about it here -





     
  19. I am surprised to hear that there is no build up of pressure, despite there being no water in the coolant.
    According to popular physics assumptions, Pressure in a system is directly proportional to temperature, for a fixed volume of liquid. Increased temperature results in an increase of pressure.
    That's what it Boyles down to....
