Yep - it does feel like that...!
Ive been on here for about 18months or so and ive been posting constantly. I think the problem (and its not really a problem) is the fact that its just for the one bike...ie the uk Ducati forum (which I'm on also) is the most active forum ive ever been on but, because mainly that its for all ducati's - and I think theres such an even spread of owners its more like a social club and therefore lots of stuff gets talked about (and a fair bit not about bikes)
This forum tends to be about just the bike. So, its going to be lot quieter which I do accept. I think also the admin on here had a bit of a beef with another admin who then went off to create another zed forum. I did see a post from that admin on the .com forum who was chatting with another user who was trying to get an account on here and had a bit of moan and the other lad (the ex admin from here) sounded a bit nasty TBH so just reading the posts that he was making I kinda summized that id rather not be on his forum and decided to stay here. Its quite quiet but I like it, the lads that do post are always polite, no one has ever had any forum tussle's with anyone else and I do get the feeling that the stuff I do post is quite well received so, ill carry on....
I think also theres some sort of zed forum on FaceBook but ive not got a facebook account (ive tried to stay away from the whole social media thing really) ive got twitter account which ive put a few things on but mainly just watch the stuff coming through on the feed just more out of curiosity and ive done a couple of you tube vids as people have asked me to as its been easier to describe stuff on video rather than typing pages and pages of stuff. All the vids ive put up have been factual - I'm not into vlogging or anything like that as I don't really like the sound of my own voice plus I'm no VonGrumble and I'm not really the type that feels that I need to be listened to or seen from a social media point of view...
The main problem I have is I'm running out of stuff to do...although the stuff that ive got planned left to do is the big stuff which is quite expensive so itll take a bit more time to get financially ready to do those!!
You'll have a brand new bike so I'm not sure how much you want to do to yours....some people don't want to mess with them atall as they prefer to keep within warranty...personally I'm very particular with my bikes, I have to have them exactly how I want them so warranty falls by the way side in fact there's a lad on the ducati forum at the moment whose not complaining as such but is a bit pissed of with his new hypermotard 939 sp as its spluttering down at the bottom end...ive tried to say that if he gets it dyno'd then that'll all go but while I think he understands that he's not prepared to get it mapped as he'll loose his warranty but ironically its the reason its spluttering round the bottom end and he's trying to get it sorted under warranty! catch 22 situation...
Ive not had a problem with mine but then ive not had it serviced by Kawasaki since ive had it. I do my own oil changes, I used only premium fully synthetic oil and do the oil changes every 3k. Its usually apart for some upgrade or another so it regularly gets all the checks that it should. It'll be going in for its 12k major service which includes the valve check to get that stamped in the book and then ill take over looking after it again til the next valve check.

I see... Forum politics!
Well I will be messing with mine as I do all my own serving myself other than the valves because it's too much hassle! (used to work for yamaha years ago) mods will be mainly cosmetic though. I can't decide what to do with the mirrors as the standard ones are hideous, think about some crg Lane splitters! So mods will be the akrapovic exhausts as they come with the bike, mirrors, cowl, indicators, rear sets, asv or Pazzo levers, power commander and Dyno run, suspension set up, remove pillion pegs. Maybe some Gucci wheels at some point.

Well, all the politics stuff I only found out about months after when I was chatting with Max (the admin). But, as I say, its quiet here but a bit busier would be nice. Its a real shame in a way as they are very underrated (once the mods have been done) - they look the tits (on mine this morning to work and was getting a thumbs up from a couple of lads in a scaffold lorry...) The way I see it is if I carry on doing what I'm doing then more people will see, join, and itll become busier...hopefully someone'll be able to show me some stuff...that'd be nice!
With regards to the power commander I wouldn't bother. Just find a dyno operator that can reflash the ecu otherwise youll be paying twice (once for the power commander and once for the mapping) find an operator that can flash the ecu and that's all youll need and, more importantly, youll get more from the ecu reflash than you would from the powercommander. Ive been chatting with a lad over in the states on you tube and he's confirmed the flash ecu route is the best way as he's had his done twice...you wont be able to fix the engine braking and the injector cut in time with the power commander...
Oh the other thing youll need is the pair block off kit or, if you want to do it on the cheap a rubber bung to cap it off...

I do get and agree with everything u said there comphy,this forum ticks along,would be nice if it was a little bit livlyer but I can cope,if it's not to bizzy,but I'm so glad I'm on here,and I'm glad,if there's anything anyone takes anything from me,cost it though. But u never know,comphy had my foot plate,but that's o.k. I had 2 anyway,and I did talk him into robbing it,I even gave him the Allan key,so I guess I helped him on the Rob.... It's call aiding and abetting,but I've been done for that in the past anyway,so it's o.k. comphy,if the owner catches me,i won't grass,I'm no snitch... And also that resivivour,mod that u seen on my bike,but I guess it was only a matter of time before u did it,as u are bound to have seen it anyway... But that's about how much use I will ever be on here. I don't do Facebook,F...That...S. not for me,full of sados... But I'm glad I joined this forum,totally happy,and helpfull.... And I hope my seat looks as good as your do trebor, ures looks sweet... Did u just put it over the original seat cover bud...

Took mine out for a run,got pulled over by an aragant copper,I was on my own,there was 3 in total,one was a motorcycle cop... Gave me attitude so I gave him it back,I was masked up,I ain't bothering anyone,u watch people doing what they want in numbers,I hand to drop off disinfectant spray to her father who's had Colon Cancer,and got a bag fitted,so I dropped it off,and was going the long way around,then bumped into,office jobs worth... Joke..

I did fight my corner,officer jobs worth,was just looking to inforce his lonely,school bullying days out on someone,I told him where IDE been,what for and why. Pointed out a cyclist,and a moped rider,and said what's the difference between me and them,I'm on 2 wheels like those. U can ride a bike.... No I can't becouse of my leg,this is the only form of exercise I can do. Been locked in for 7weeks ain't bothering anyone I'm on my own,masked up,told him I was going the long way home,he accused me of thinking about turning around as he attempted to stop me,which was bollocks... The government reactions was way to late,killing more people than they ever needed to,if they done there jobs right in the first place,when they had the warning,instead of shutting things down straight away. For a month,saving lives,and NHS staff, and don't get me started on the bullshit PPE,that those hero's are made to waire,no wonder NHS staff are dieing,I've seen people in spray booths, working with aspestos better clothed,and they saiy stay in ure home, don't be a strain on the NHS,after the cuts these politicians parasites have done,and ure worrying about a guy on a motorcycle covered up,not stopping,on his own.... Sorry about my soap box moment people,do apologize.... God bless the NHS workers,and the government,the blood of those who have died becouse of ure incopidance,and cuts is on ure hands.... Leave the motorist alone,find another way to make money,u volchers...... Attachments:
