Ordered a couple of bike related things from Germany recently & both were here within a week & no extra's to pay... was i lucky ? or is it a bit hit & miss ?

Turns out I've now had this for 5 years, and it's even better than when I bought it (which considering what I've done to it, it should be

)

Blah blah · 12-08-2021, 04:34 PM

And the Monster now has some competition for my limiting riding time...

748 bored to 853, tweaked ECU, Termis, ohlins rear and K tech front etc etc

slob · 12-08-2021, 05:54 PM

looks lovely!

350TSS · 12-08-2021, 08:38 PM

853- best of both worlds

Grumpy · 12-08-2021, 10:26 PM

Unusual colour.
So it's handled like 748, but has the power of the 916?

Mr Gazza · 12-08-2021, 10:41 PM

That looks bloody gorgeous Anthony, but I can't make out what colour it is as the number boards are so big..

Shame my body won't fit those bikes! Great combination of power and nimbleness you have there.

It's a cornerspeed special, 853cc, the ECU has been tweaked so that it fuels the cylinders separately, alloy bodied ohlins etc etc. there are so many 'of their time' trick bits on the bike it makes my head hurt. It's a hell of a piece of kit.

Mot history is interesting as well as there's 10 years between the last 2...

Is it better than the S2r?

Well, I had an hour this afternoon to go out with the teenager for a blat and I took the S2r, there's a run this weekend so the Monster will come out again and if I want to spend a couple of hours flirting about, S2r every time.

However, if I go mad or if I'm chasing a friend on his (new) H2 kwak, then the 748 will be wheeled out (and the teenager will be left at home..!)

Blah blah · 04-06-2022, 01:24 PM

eek, almost 12 months since the last update and as the 748 has been used somewhat more than the Monster, the Mot had expired (last year)

so I took it in this morning and it passed with the normal advisory

However when I got home it decided to dump a load of oil from the filter housing. I had problems with a genuine filter a couple of years ago and I should have learnt my lesson. Time for another oil change I think, but it won't be a genuine filter this time.

Blah blah · 28-09-2022, 07:37 PM

Still got it, and now have a green tank, pillion cover, side panels and mudguard. The side panels and 'guard might not get used as I already have carbon ones (and the originals).

The teenager hates the colour but then it's not his bike so plans are to do some research into sealing it then buying lots of new gaskets (and perhaps a fuel pump?) and swap them over to see how it looks however funds are low at the moment (748 seat being painted as well as buying these, the car needs an MoT, as does the van which also needs the EGR sorting and I need to find out why the Mito keeps fouling plugs)

Other than that, a random picture from the other night

That's what I keep telling him, but apparently that isn't the case

We've had it on the dyno and the air/fuel is pretty much spot on thoughout the rev range according to the dyno chap, plus a replated bore, new piston, rings, coil, HT, cap and plug and it persists...

ColinS2R · 17-01-2023, 08:46 PM

Curse of the plastic tank!!!!
Mines the same unfortunately…….
Have to decide whether to stick or twist.

Blah blah · 25-01-2023, 07:21 PM

I have bought another un-swollen tank and that has been sitting in the hall ever since getting dusty.

I was looking at lining / sealing it with but then life got in the way (and the teenager bought a Bimota BB1) so neither the S2r or the 748 have turned a wheel in anger for a couple of months.

And life is getting in the way again and I am doing my best to hold onto them both but we shall see...
