How many did 2nd place drop?

I am a tad on the heavy side, and have lost power on long climbs that require backing off then needing to go again. The bike is now a 280 but haven't used it yet, if it doesn't work out I will probably have a change . Just always wanted to try the 280 and got chance of one for the right money.

Thanks for the help, I have had 4rt's for years but have never tried a 280 or maps. I have a ptb but haven't a clue how to set it up , but it's time to have a go at different setting. I am interested to see how much more grunt there is than the 250.

Will it run ok with the std front pipe?

Cheers guys , i will give it a wirl.

Does anyone know if the 280 needs a different map or will it run ok on a standard map?

Square back wheel.

Kicking back like a mule! Start it yourself when you look at one. Nice power though.

Here's one, who's been or is the oldest rider at world championship level ?

Not sure , i was trying to get some info before looking into it. Cheers.

Hi Does anyone have any tips to make the clutch lighter? Cheers

No problem happy to help,i think its pot luck with any 2nd hand van. My vans have been for my company , my 07 nissan i have had from new but was for a member of staff but now i have got it and it drives spot on. I also have a swb vivaro 06 1.9 which is good but not as good as nissan, it has a few anoying running points[over run when setting off and tick over low at junctions] 57k and bought second hand. The 03 nissan 1.9 did the same 60k>115k and bought 2nd hand one owner. My advice is to try a van several times and get the best deal you can,giving you a margin for any repair without feeling to hard done . Its down to which van you like the most ,try them all but be in no rush and look for one thats had one driver from new. When i had 4x scudo's they where driven by lots of different staff and i believe this does them no good. Like i have said i have been impressed with the 2lt and it has had one driver for the past 3 years, lots of room in the lwb. Again hope you find my comments of some use.

My 07 nissan primerstar is spot on for the money,its the 2ltr which is far better than the 1.9ltr that i had. Also had a 06 veto and hated it,bad on fuel and cramped driving position[foot park brake].Had a 07 tranny on loan which was good but still prefer my nissan,mine is a lwb which has loads of usable room. Drove a vw once and found it cramped and very on off turbo, which was hard work on back roads. My 03 nissan had done 115k miles and still felt like 40k. Hope this info is usefull. Also had 4x 03 fiat hdi's, cost me lots of money in breakdowns. Flywheels and fuel pumps,not much room in the back but very fast.

I have a 05 in bits at the moment,you are welcome to bring your bike and try any parts to find out whats at fault.

Can you try the casing from the other 4rt. Was it running moments up to the oil change.

Has the bike got a good earth? have you tried it with a new plug and kill switch dissconected. Did you dissconect the side caseing when you changed the oil.

Did you say you linked out the bank angle sensor? which cables did you link? how much oil did you put in?

Exhaust bung ? always gets me. checked all connections? fuel pump? Did you let caseing hang or did you unplug. Kill switch.?
