Which is best? wanna buy 1 for my xmas for my gf. not bothered about performace really, sound is the main thing as it being 1.2 n all. from my experience K&N r nice, but the sound of pipercross is better IMO. Thanks, Marc.

i have the 4.5" slash cut, same as bruns with ktec decat. my god its mental!!! ;) wil try n sort out some video/wav files soon!

that is very very cheap, i paid alot more than that. but mine is floorless :)

iv always had a coolant leek, since i brought it, so nearly a year now. reno were meant to fix it, the previous owner spent 100+ on them to fix it, but obviously they didnt. so would the leak affect it? PS it aint leaking alot , i still have over half the tank.

nice1! thanx alot lads!!! :D

good good! weight... u reckon the oil down there could have caused it too shoot out? i checked the dipstick at the same time as doing this, n its slightly over max, by about 5mm or so, teach me to check next time as im feeling up wont it! but could this be something to do with there being...

will this affect anything?? having oil down there? if i just keep cleaning it every couple of months?

yes mate, it took flight indeed!! could it be somethign to do with oil being down there????

right, took the rocker cover off today, trying to have a look if that rubber seal had erodded (real bad spelling LOL) away, or broke etc... but it looked fine to me? so why would i have oil down by the spark plugs? something maybe more serious?? engine seems to fun fine? should i just leave it...

cheers for the tip dude!

i will replace the rubber seal - god knows wot its called, n if it happens again.... il seal it like ur explaining! oh.... when u take the rocker cover off..... can u like get at the bottom of the spark plugs so i can get ride of all the oil in the holes at the moment?
