Used Bike Day

With your Nav VI you must remove it from the cradle and never leave it on your bike. It doesn't fully turn off unless you power it down from the button on the back.... regardless what the screen says.

Then always make sure it's fully charged via USB power lead in the house, before you put it on your bike before a ride.

This will give it a fighting chance to work...

If you're considering a tank bag, check out SW Motech evo range of bags that mount on tank rings. No paint damage and very convenient to use.

The mudslinger and fender extender arrived, the fender extender fitted not problem. The rear mudslinger fitted but is really close the the tyre, so much so that it rubs the tyre in one spot. i took it off and checked fitting seems ok, it could be that its on the centre stand i suppose.
Anyone else had this issue with the rear mudslinger?

Thanks

I notced slight rubbing on a new tourance rear tyre. Eased it slightly by moving the mudsling a little bit. The rubbing soon stops when its done a few miles.
I think its worse when fitting knobbly type tyres...tkc80 etc.

Hi thanks for the reply, how did you move the mudsling slightly. The mudsling slots into the rear hugger already on the bike and the 4 cable ties secure it to the frame.
Sorry for all the questions just hope i am not going to have problems with it.

I am thinking perhaps i should have gone for this eBay cheap version

Does it rub with the weight on the bike? Mine touches slightly on the centre stand but not on the side stand.

There have been a few reports of the knock-offs rubbing against the swing arm.

The tyre was replaced just before MOT test so I removed the mudsling completely rather than risking an mot fail because of the rubbing...
When I refitted it I tried altering the position slightly by not shoving it right down into the little slot. There wasnt a great deal of pressure between the tyre and mudsling( it only contacted on one portion of the tyre, hardly at all, but still audible), so any slight change did make a difference.
Once the tyre had worn slightly it wasnt an issue.

I think it could be the fact that it has a new tyre fitted, the clearance is really tight and surely you should not have to wait for the tyre to wear down a bit. Very confused what to do now...

Were the bikes on the centre stand or side stand?

I use Pilot Road 5's and on the centre it touches, on the side there's no contact.
