That's all the encouragement I need 8) 150 kit off of ebay in the post ::) ;D

Not been in here for a while... 8) I got my big boy licence in May of 2015, stumbled across a great interest free finance deal on a Gladius and the Ace was relegated to the garage (she'd broken a couple of spokes too and was out of commission anyway...) Fast forward and I rode her to work...

Dammit! It's possible I'm an idiot - one thing I never checked, and in winter gloves it's quite possibly what I've done... Hopefully that's the answer and I'm just having one of those days :-[ Thanks for the reply Stroker, I definitely had a 'face palm' moment when I read it haha Edit: It...

My Ace died on me this morning and I'm looking for advice/insight. Riding to work this AM and as I approached the security gate I turned off my heated grips as I usually do and the bike just died... Turns over strongly but no sign of firing up. Couldn't check for spark as the iridium plug is...

On reflection I might be selling my little ace a bit short, as I haven't done much more than ride to work and back for a while now - I'm out tomorrow, so I'll run the Diablo app and find somewhere 'private' to have a proper performance test. I did top 70 before the exhaust was replaced, it's...

I second all of this - I'm not a great mechanic by any means, but I fitted new jets on my own ace with no problems - done over 3,000 Kms now. My header from OO came with a new gasket, so assuming your parts haven't arrived yet you might have one coming. Pretty sure I have to agree with the...

Yup, Chinese 'reimagining' of a 90s honda that was a replica of a 60s race bike I honestly bought it for the style, and the feedback from the guys here - but it's been a great purchase, only 3400 kms on it so far, and rising. We have owners in Finland and Norway according to the build database...

Tiny - and possibly long overdue update on my bike. Over Christmas/New Year I replaced the indicators with LED units, removed the rear mudguard/fender and mounted a tail tidy intended for a Yamaha YZF R125 as I thought it might be a good fit, and included indicator mounts. I like the look of...

Xris That muffler looks like the one I fitted also. I had the same noise issues after fitting the muffler and OO Racing header pipe with added baffle, so what I did was add a section of the header pipe (Which I had removed to make it all fit) to the end of the muffler. I read the post of...

My speedo actually runs slow - my speedo indicated 40mph on a local road (the limit there) but when I compared that part of my ride on the Diablo app I was apparently running 46mph. A better quality instrument is currently the next (and final, honest!) item I plan on swapping out.

Small update on my exhaust. After a couple of weekends of using and making further changes, I think I'm finally happy with it. I've fitted a proper baffle and fibreglass sound deadening in the body of the silence. which reduced the noise some, but also meant the silencer didn't fit on the...

YouTube clip of a "prepper" using steel wool and a 9V battery to start a fire... http://youtu.be/L_BjutFAVyE Trying to move on a bit ::), anyone recommend a gopro mount? The handlebar one I have won't work with the Ace' bars.

I have no problem with being offered advice, educated or helped by anyone. I'm a complete novice on two wheels, and on reflection I'll be looking for a better, engineered, solution to the noise. My neighbours will have to accept a bit of noise in the meantime... Again, thanks for all the...

Purchased a GoPro especially for this ;D http://youtu.be/tjWniRFMIPY Free decibel meter on my iPhone tags it at over 100 decibels, small amount of steel wool has reduced it to under 90 - not sure what is considered acceptable socially, although I'm happy with under 90 myself for now

Finally got rid of the factory exhaust, and what a difference! Coupled it with some Ramair foam in place of the stock filter and took her for a spin. Not given her the full beans yet but I saw an indicated 50 in third, so you could say she's a bit quicker ;D The downside is the volume...

This is the exact post I used to install mine - I just tapped the weight in until there was enough room to fit the bar end mirrors, in order to keep the weights as close to the ends of the bars as possible.

Peer pressure is a terrible thing ;D If I'd had the money I'd have been tempted to buy another myself, simpler than the rebuild of my son's Hyosung GTR 125 if nothing else...

Paul It sounds like the same bike I linked to on the Ace Facebook page - at the price I thought it was a steal. I've done 2k on mine and it's been mechanically sound barring suspension made for skinny kids and blowing headlights. Plus it's had a number of the "essentials" done already of...

Yesterday saw the third headlight replacement in my Ace - lasted somewhere between 15 and 30 miles before blowing... When I disassembled everything, even the bulb holder had melted - which was a worry Not to worry though, as I had purchased this: Taiwan Not Chinese Copy, I'm sure I've seen...

Just looked at the battery on mine and it appears to be a sealed unit - part number 6MF6L-BS Any pointers on decoding the ID information so I can find out when mine was built? For info I had the shrouded rear shocks which I replaced. I also replaced my headlamp bulb with a BA20D H1 unit, it...
