Triggerhappy...i too am Norsk...so i can translate pretty much anything you need.......i live and work in the UK, so I dont use my norwegian every day, but you can always PM me if you're not sure of something either written here or something you want to write ;D
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

QuoteIts not easy to tell who's foreign and who's not...

How true...LOL...

My Girl friend is originally from Hartfordshire..Been down here year & a half...her two Girls asked her the other day which country I was from , as could not possibly be English with my accent.......I do have a very heavy Somerset west country yokel Carrot crunching accent ..apparently...!
Hence the Z in Ciderman I guess. Cheeky little Crimits....(sorry another Westcountry phrase)
So you Norwegian guys going to fit in really well for sure....

Ja det ser ut som det er flere av oss ja ;D
Changed oil,oilfilter and oil in the final gear yesterday.Rode the bike first,
so the oil got heated up.
Did it my self,got the oil and filter with the bike from the dealer.
The "old" motor oil looked fine,but the oil in the final drive was really bad.
It was grey metalic,and very thick. Drained it and washed it out with breakcleener.
Filled in new oil.Went for a short trip,and drained the oil in the final gear
once more. The oil was pretty fine now,filled up with new oil. The new oil where much
thinner.But it's right for the bike,I did double check 8)
Maybe my head is playing games with me,but
I'm shure the engine idles smoother.

Have a tire question.
The bike is 3 years old,but never been used before.
If the bike has been standing on the sidestand for a very long time,
can the tires get a flat spot that dont go away.
Have experienced flat spots before,byt they goes away after some miles riding.
Have now ridden the bike for over 650 miles,but still i get the same feeling of flat spots
Have had the bike on the senterstand and idled bike in first gear,
you can see rear tire aren't quite round.
It's a up and down movement,not shaking as it need to be re-balanced.

The bike stod out side my jobb today,and a gentleman came in and asked who's
bike it was. Mine I proudly stated,he shook my hand and said it was the finest
motorbike he ever had seen.He was a total stranger to me.I almost thougth
he where going to give me a hug. He then went out and stod for a long
time and checked the bike from all angles.
That was really cool,saved my day ;D

You'll be doing yourself a favour by changing the tyres anyhow. After 3 years, the tyre will have flat spots. Get some PR3s on and you won't look back.

Did you get the TPS issue resolved?

Going to change the tires when they are worn out,can't afford new tires now.
Phoned the dealer earlier to day,and they should hear with Kawa tech support.
But they where quite sure i had to get new sensors.
Covered by warranty. Mentioned the flat spots,and they said it would be better after riding
more miles. Are going to try to get a good price on tires from the dealer.
Will get the tpms fixed when I'm on holiday.Maybe I'll change tires at the same time.                                       No big deal,the bike runs nice anyway.
Think the uneven engine run,with steady trottle betwen 2000-3000 rpm. are a bigger problem.
They will check out this as well,but my holiday aren't due for late august maybe september
so that will be a long wait.

The fact that I can use Google Translate? <LOL>

Or the "insult" to the Welsh?
I am entitled to insult them as I am ¼ Welsh (paternal Grandmother was was from Port Talbot).
While I'm at it I will also insult the Scots (I'm ¼ Scottish, maternal Grandfather) and the English (am ½ English).
I will insult the French for the hell of it and the Germans because I feel like it.
If anyone objects to that I will insult them and their mothers and their mothers sexual habits! ;-)

I am an even handed person. I will insult anyone if they ask nicely.  ;D
