It could be the sign of running a belt too tight on it. That would be 'pulling' on the pulley and causing stress around the central section where it bolts on to the hub. Looking at the central screw...

So it's Wife 2.0 as opposed to a 2nd Wife, or Mistress.....[}:)]

Why doesn't wife number 1 have your phone number ;)

if you want to check the compatibility of parts use this site. When you click into the components it tells you what other models it was fitted on to.

Generally speaking very little fits between...

I would certainly say its worth it, and i don't think i could see myself not having one in the future.

I use mine 99% of the time when i'm on the bike - unless i've forgotten to charge it, or...

It won't fit as the GT shares components with the R more than the ST.

I managed to get out on the bike a bit more this weekend with some errands to run, and the weather was dry and relatively warm one day and wet/rainy the next.

The tyres were just as good as I had...

Knowing how new your pads are i would ride it and see if this gets better. Stop every 10km or so and check the temp of the brake disc and see if it is heating up, which would mean there is constant...

At that short range they're barely scratched in. Go and ride it some more and that should help. As they have a chamfer from new, they will be point loading until it flattens out and starts to mate...

Are the pads fully bedded in yet, or is there still a slight slant on the mating face? It can take a while for the pads to bed in, depending on the riding you have been doing - especially as the ST...

You can wire brush & sand the pins to make sure they're smooth - no grease is needed. If it starts to melt/drip down you'll need to get new pads.

Is it the pads holding in position not returning...

TBH i wouldn't bother buying one anyway. They make very little difference, IMO, to the bike.

And your web link does not look correct.

i would get replacement keys and locks. From the dealer you will need a new Ignition key (chipped), ignition barrel and antenna ring (unless they can code yours to work). For the luggage you can buy...

Have you tried speeding up ;)

Reset it whilst riding along and see what it does.

Don't use a Masonry bit, it's not sharp for plastics - use a wood or metal bit to give a clean drill.

I left it on, and only drilled one hole to secure some wiring to under there. It is on the...

Any good glue will more than likely ruin the paint, so you may as well drill a hole and have a secure mounting point and a hole you could easily fill/not worry about come selling time. Alternatively...

The power socket by the right hand leg, do you mean?

Yes you can charge through CANBUS if your charger is compatible, but like you said wiring directly to the battery is a better solution.

...

kickback=reward/benefit etc. the cost of buying the ESA suspension, modules, switch gear, wiring, set up & installation, coding etc. May as well buy a GT with it already installed.

Look for automotive power wiring so it is safe for use in automotive applications. In terms of the gauge 2mm squared should be fine as it will carry 25A or so which is more than enough. For power...

Yes i run a stock set up on the front as it works for me, and has fresh oil too.

You could, but the cost is not worth it at all for the kickback.

2 options are either rebuild your standard...

It is a bit perplexing considering on a bike it is a key component for rider feel & confidence. Although i guess it is to drive you to buy the models with the extra packages or the ESA set up.

Wiring in a fusebox would suggest other things may be added further down the line. Best to do that groundwork now and have it in place, rather than going back on yourself a few months down the line.

Get te=he correct gauge wire that will carry the power comfortably and not get too hot. Proper automotive power wiring - not cheap crap that will fall apart and has the potential to be a hazard.

...

No, you take the power directly from the battery. You use 1 of GPS wires as the trigger to switch the relay (if your fusebox has a switched supply option). If you try and draw all the power through...

The issue with building the speakers into the helmet is fitting in the rest of the technology it needs, without compromising on the safety aspect.

Having good passive ear plugs are the best thing...
