I now have 2 sticky pedals. The rear brake pedal, sometimes, when pressed and released doesn't come back up, unless I push it down hard again and release it quickly. Seems to be sticking more when using it gently. Also my gear pedal, when kicking down to 1st doesn't seem to always come back up i.e stays LIMP for a few secs.

I should imagine like most things in life you get what you pay for. But is there anything to be given a wide birth, or anything that stands head and shoulders above the rest. I have a K5 1200, still on original chain but the gold finish in flaking off big style and i think i have a tight spot in it from poor maintenance in its early life. Thanks in anticipation.

All going well, I should be the proud owner of a Mk1 B12 within the next few weeks, but I may need to adjust the height of both pedals (I have boots larger than the moon)... On the H***a, I needed to raise the gear lever by about 2.5 inches (unbolt, spin it round a bit, rebolt), but was unable to raise the rear brake (as its a drum type) so its a bit anti-social... I have no idea on how the bandit pedals are attached, or any decent ...

I've read on the main banditmania page about the TPS for ignition advancement, and some other little things, but what are the actual differences all round? Is it better plumping the few extra £££'s to get a K2 model, or is the K1 just as competent (and reliable)? Also what sort of things do I need to look out ...

the book says to use 110 front and 150 rear, it currently has a 120 on the front and 160 on the rear.

are there any real world benefits from using the wider tyres other than they seem to be more readily available?]]> Technical Corner for Help & Advice Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:31:13 GMT http://bsvoc.forumotion.com/technical-corner-for-help-advice-f4/tyres-again-t1416.htm#8263 http://bsvoc.forumotion.com/technical-corner-for-help-advice-f4/tyres-again-t1416.htm http://bsvoc.forumotion.com/technical-corner-for-help-advice-f4/1250-crntre-stand-removal-t1406.htm gix2009
