Yesterday changed back to stock variator, he he he, my rollers became cubes. Tinkering around with my roller sizes now, 12.5g is good, gives abit of both, but might go down to 11g, or 10.5g, have a good feeling about that...

 

Cheers

Bro you changed back because

 

A) The Multivar was crapped?

B) Can't get the Multivar to work?

C) The rollers became cubes?

D) All of the above?

 

Cheerzzzsx!

Honestly, did not really feel that "boost" I was expecting, it ran well for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden, my bike would shudder violently while at anything above 6k RPM, so took it off bro, at least not all is lost, the rollers and U-clips came in really useful!

 

Cheers...

 

P.S. All of the above bro! He he he...

:confused: Shuddering violently is strange......... :confused:

 

But anyway, I felt a lack of responsiveness immediately after taking it off... Didn't pull as well either.. You tried the other weights? Or only the 14gms (which is way too heavy)? And your belt? Changed new ones already? Or is it new when you expeience the shudder? Cos when the belt is worn or new (haven't bed in), you'll experience some quirky feedback from the transmission.

 

cheers..

Hmmm, well, after trying the variator, I feel that it wore out the rollers too quickly, so best bet was to go back to the stock variator.

Hey, this section is getting really quiet! All the new DNA riders seem really quiet man, where is Uma Thurman? Joe? Spec C? And the ex-DNA owners?

 

One thing I realised about Malossi rollers, they seem to wear out real fast, while those stock Piaggio ones, "never say die".

Actually I find Jeremy Clarkson irritating and all their views quite biase. I prefer Tiff Needel and Vicky Butler...they give more balanced views.... but still, Top Gear antics some time leave me in stitches....damn silly comments 8-)

[danielburgess]

Oh, the old man. Hahaha, ya, he is abit irritating, anyway, only watch it when they go up against bikes, like the Ducati 999, Yamaha R1 and the Suzuki GSX1000.

 

Anyway, he has been in sh*t a few times for racist and smite remarks... :mad:

 

Clarkson has often been the focus of controversy. His comments on various subjects have caused serious offence, and have - very personally - insulted many people; in the UK as well as abroad. Whether he believes all that he espouses, or if he is acting as a ´professional-controversialist´, is hard to judge, and it is not clear whether his comments are tongue-in-cheek, or that his own fixed opinions should be taken as fact.

 

In October, 1998, Hyundai cars complained to the BBC about what they described as "bigoted and racist" comments he made at the Motor Show in Birmingham, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had "eaten a dog", and that the designer of the Hyundai XG had probably eaten a spaniel for his lunch. He also allegedly referred to those working on the BMW stand as "Nazis". [7]

 

One of his most infamous comments occurred during the filming of a Top Gear episode featuring the Vauxhall Vectra. It is alleged, even to this day, that Clarkson single-handedly destroyed both Vectra´s and Vauxhall´s reputations. Ironically, officials from General Motors - who own Vauxhall - invited Clarkson to the launch of the much-improved Vectra, although it is not known whether he attended. Another incident occurred when he tried to prove that a Vauxhall could be driven from the back seat; eventually crashing it. When asked where he was when the car crashed, he replied, "In the back seat". In one episode, he went so far as to dump nearly half-a-ton of manure on a Vauxhall van during the annual "Top Gear Car Of The Year" awards.

 

In the Sunday Times on June 2, 2002, he said that he had spent the day hunting rats using tennis racquets and croquet mallets. The RSPCA issued a warning to him as a result of this comment.

 

Clarkson's views on cyclists and promotion of motoring have caused concern among cycling and road-safety organisations. Transport 2000 have called for Top Gear to be replaced by a more safety, and environmentally-aware, motoring programme. In February of 2004, Clarkson rammed a 30-year-old horse chestnut tree with a Toyota Hilux pick-up truck to demonstrate how rugged the vehicle was. This led to the BBC having to compensate the local parish council who, until they saw the Top Gear broadcast, thought that the damage had been caused by local vandals.

 

He has had a long-running public feud with Piers Morgan; former editor of the Daily Mirror. In October of 2003, on the last Concorde flight, he threw a glass of water over Morgan while the two were exchanging insults. In March of 2004, at the British Press Awards, he cursed at Morgan and punched him, apparently angry that the newspaper had published photographs of Clarkson with a woman who was not his wife. [8]

 

In 2005, the School of Technology at Oxford Brookes University awarded him an honorary engineering doctorate, leading to protests from ´Green´ organizations, who objected to his statements about the environment and his advocacy of car use. He has said: "I do have a disregard for the environment. I think the world can look after itself and we should enjoy it as best as we can". After the ceremony, he was hit in the face with a banana-meringue pie by a protester. [9] Clarkson "took the pie on the chin" (meaning he took the insult with humour) and commented that it had too much sugar.

 

In September of 2005, Clarkson wrote an editorial for The Sun, criticising Americans after the Hurricane Katrina rescue response, and included the comment: "Most Americans barely have the brains to walk on their back legs."

 

Clarkson has spurred another controversy in his capacity as a presenter for BBC2's Top Gear. During the 13 of November, 2005, episode. A news segment featuring BMW's MINI Concept from the Tokyo Motor Show showcased what fellow-presenter Richard Hammond quoted as a "quintessentially British" integrated tea set. Clarkson responded by mocking that the German designed-and-owned MINI Cooper should be fitted with "a quintessentially German... sat-nav that only goes to Poland" in reference to the Nazi invasion of Poland that started WWII, and saying that "[one] fan belt will last a thousand years," a reference to Adolf Hitler's propaganda slogan of "the thousand-year Reich". These statements gained negative attention in the British and German news media. The matter was not helped by national publications - in both Britain and Germany - quoting Clarkson out of context which to the misinformed would put Clarkson in a racist light. Here is an example of such an article: [10]

 

Clarkson has often (controversially) said that bald, bearded, pipe-smoking blokes wearing sandals with a caravan and a bike, who believe that "the speed limit is there for a reason", are not amongst his circle of friends

[stroker]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A FORUM!!! YEAH!! FINALLY ALL THE DISCUSSIONS ARE BACK!!
