Hi guys can you point me in the right direction. Ive noticed some smoke cumming from the down-pipe aria on start up. only lasts for a 20 seconds or so then clear and no further smoke. None while riding or on tick-over. ive looked at the right hand side of the engine and pipes  and no visible leeks. looked at the left hand side and noticed old (i think) oil spray over the hoses and rubber pipes in that aria.  Ive  taken off the left hand fairing side panel and cleaned all round the pipes and other parts that i can reach with a rag. I then went for a ride and then checked and no visible oil drips found. Left her overnight then restarted her and same thing again smoke from around the 2 inner pipes then nothing. I cant see exactly where its coming from. Now ive only had the bike a short while so im not sure what im looking at. Dose this problem sound like the Cam sensor seal ? ... I cant find any pics on the net that shows the sensor on the 2011 engine.

Thanks Guys.....I looked at the EVO 1 and the 3, the 1 was slightly more comfortable around the forehead but not much between the 2. The SHARP safety rating was better than the 1 and obs price is better. So ive now ordered the 3 with the green detailing to match the bike (I KNOW TART !!!)
really like the chin guard that flips out the way so can ride open or closed face. Got £30 off using a voucher code on line.

Hi Guys, not sure if in the place, dose anyone one own a Evoline 3 ?  thinking of getting one. Im looking for reviews and feedback please.

Now guys, I don`t mind cleaning my new baby in fact i get a lot of pleasure seeing the end result... all clean and shiny.. BUT...i feel the only way to clean the wheels properly (I have silver but one day I would like black) is to either get a old toothbrush and get the old knuckles red raw from trying to get into all the nooks and cranny's or take the wheels off lol. now has anyone borrowed the wife's (or Girlfriends) steam cleaner the type that the adverts show getting the kitchen hob and oven grease free and sparkling.

Dose anyone know price of one and recommended stockist ?

well i didn't think i would start a fore and against thread on TPS lol,
You will all be pleased to know the Girl is back on the road.....thanks for the help guys 

Hi highside, I've got a spare valve that I keep for such times. You can have it if you like to get you back on the road. You can then just keep your eye out for a second hand one on ebay then send that back to me when one turns up if that helps you out


Many Thanks Shaggs147 for your offer, ive managed to scrounge some transport for next week, ill order one on Monday and hopefully have her back on the road for next weekend and hopefully have my 4 wheels back soon as well. 

Thanks Wildybeast, ive been on both sites previously but wasn't to sure, ive emailed them so hopefully ill get some good news Monday.
PRD ive just got the bike and would love to keep all mod cons working  also it would do my nut in knowing i cant have something working thats sitting suppose to be ... maybe in a few years i wont be so bothered... but its new and ive never had all these toys to play with  lol

Thanks for the reply's so far Guys, ive been in touch with Colchester Kawasaki and they say the part has been super seeded and i would have to order a complete new sensor as the new ones are all one unit £140+ then obs the tyre needs fixing then the new sensor will need to be set up with my bike..... Dam and blast and a few other expletives throne in lol. so ive gone onto find a bike part so hopefully there is one out there,

Oh and the bike workshop I took the wheel to this morning says ill need to replace the sensor but I thought the valve just poked through and was seated through the sensor ?????

Hi Guys, sorry not been on since my introduction, well ive only gone and  bought a 2011 dark green GTR Sooooooo pleased with the bike its fantastic , (picks will follow).
Now ive a problem, ive had to use her for work as my car off the road, well gues what .. ive got a puncture, not a problem ill get it repaired me thinks... BUT so i could grt her home i managed to borrow a pump from a work mate managed to get some air in it and rush to the petrol station to pack some more in but Derrr the air pump wont fit (big mistake). got it home... Just. but as i just pumping it up in my workshop i must have bent the valve as next thing big rush of air and the valve in 2 bits. Ahhhhhhhh. now ive had a look on the site and around the web but im still confused, Do i have to got to a main dealer an get an OP or can i get a cheaper replacement on fleebay ????    help.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, let me first state im a bit embarrassed but as yet I do not own a GTR but im hoping to change that in the very near future. Ive been riding my ZZR 1100 D (1995) since 1997 yep she and i are getting on a bit.
Well its time to let her go. Well its not her thats showing her age but Me, im having problems with some arthritis in by shoulder joint and even though ive added bar risers to her i cant ride for long without getting pain and my arm numbing. Now the wife suggested a new bike  so strait on the interweb and as im a Kwaker man through and through it would go against every fibre to go to the dark side and look else where and nearly everything ive read is possitive re the GTR.
would you guys be so kind as to pass on some info to me ,ie riding position, pillion feedback, day today living with a GTR things to look out for ect. ive read lots you tubed lots but you cant beat the guys in the know. im looking to contact a couple of places for a test ride next weekend but the nearest GTRs for sale are an hour away and shut on Sundays (had to go shopping today lol). sorry for the long into.
