Post subject:  Big thanks to Tubbs and Moorespeed
I had an excellent day at Moorespeed racing today while my bike was having its 5k service and new tyres. Tubbs did a great job on my bike, and the attention to detail was brilliant, hell he even bought me lunch! :shock: :yup:

While checking the tensioner pulley for play Tubbs found that the bearings had seized up and there was a lot of play in the wheel. The tensioner has only been on there for 2K miles so it might be worth anyone who has one to give is a once over. Bearing part number 62032Rscm (according to the box).

Also the rear wheel bearing was seized solid, not good on a bike that's done 4200 miles!

The service was about 3 hours odd and went without hitch. Riding it home, it felt like a brand new bikes, and the new tyres completely transformed the ride, although it did make for a slippery and scary trip through the forest!

While there I was chatting with Colin and we are trying to sort out a UKBEG discount on parts, and servicing for us all as well as a discount on things like levers, mirrors, Free Spirits pulleys etc. They have a really good range of stuff in the shop and I will be uploading a catalogue in PDF format once its finished ..

The service was really reasonable considering I had tyres, wheel bearings, pulley bearings, more coffee that I could drink, and went way above and beyond what I was expecting, I even got a free piss take! I also learnt a lot about my bike and got in the way a lot which I'm good at :oooops: :lol:

Quite a few Buells in the workshop so its good to see business doing well, So yeah, I cant recommend them highly enough :yup: :yup: :yup:

Nearly forgot!

While there I was looking at this bike, the result of a 100 mph wheelie gone wrong :shock: :roll: :lol:

Also attached a swing arm for a custom R1 made by Tubbs from a solid lump of billet aluminium!

Didn't suzuki recall one of GSXR1000 years for possible frame snapping after wheelies?

I'm sure you are right about that...from what i remember a lot of frames were changed under a recall.

Not entirely sure they were built to withstand 100+mph wheelies for too long!

The distance ain't the problem, it's how you drop the front back down that matters. ;)

Anyway, I though you were gonna let me know, I've been off all this week. :roll:
Spent the day shifting 6 tonne of 20mm gravel on my drive. Could have done with a break. :sad1:
