The reputation precedes, other owners say fix before it's fecked, the slight weep of oil, and the ocassional roughness, and that little nag on your mind that says it can't last forever. Yup, I have bitten the bullet and going to get the FD...
I had a slow puncture that was getting worse so plugged it the other day. The first plug failed on the way back from the pub on Saturday afternoon after taking a big hit on a pothole. The second plug is keeping the tyre up but what do you...
I have a pair of Continental Escape tyres in the garage which I took off about 4 years ago to fit TKC's. I'm going to be doing quite a bit of road only this summer and was wondering if refitting would cause problems ie casings hardened. There's...
Now then chaps,
I am wondering if anyone has any top tips for big bike tyres for my vstrom 650.
I am currently on anakee wilds which I love but having got shy of 3000 miles off the rear I am wondering about my options.
The front is OK, so I am...
How many of us have entered a route into our Sat Navs with the likes of Tyre, Garmin Basecamp etc and found that one of the waypoints is not exactly where it should be. Then been sent on a wild goose chase to make sure that you're following the...
Where would be convenient to find a switched live feed on a BMW GS 1200?
Need it to operate a relay(or two) for a couple of electrical extras - Sat Nav and flashing lights for marshalling duties.
Ta.
Have you used any unusual or improbable tools whilst fettling you bike? I'll start the ball rolling with a Krupps Turbo 1200 Touring, which is.....

There's a question for you.
Do certain motorcycle tyres puncture more easily than others? :motorcycle:
When I bought my GSA last year the nice salesman tried to offer me tyre insurance at circa £250 for 2 or 3 years. Pah I laughed in the face of...
My ABAC Pole Position compressor has given up the ghost after many years service so I'm looking for a replacement. My current one is 24l 2hp oilless jobbie, any suggestion on a replacement?
Probably looking for 50l or 100l.
The wheel bearings on my rear simply do not fit snugly. Is there anything I can do, short of ditching the hub and getting a new one?
I bought the hub secondhand and had the wheel built. The bearings have gone a couple of times over the 13,000...
Got a 2 inch crack in the upper fairing of my new toy (zx6r). Any idea of how much a quality repair would cost along with a paint spray touch up? It looks like an easy repair to an expert?
Why is it sometimes I can't see the posted photos on my phone? Is there an update I need to force?

Maybe I'm being a bit fussy here, but does anyone else think that the RAM mount kit (for affixing yer Prat-Nav to yer bike) is a bit "mickey mouse"?
Yes, I know that they're catering for Metric and Imperial fasteners but, really do the mounting...
First thing to say is that they are a damn sight easier to fit than Michelin Anakee 2's. Well, the new rear that I wrestled onto the rim yesterday was. Haven't got the wheel back on the bike yet as my foot pump decided to depart this life as I...
What are people's experiences with wethead (liquid cooled) BMW R1200s? Has BMW cured the drive shaft problems that plagued oilheads and hexheads? Any other problems?
I ask because I used to have an R1150RS that was very unreliable. I knew...
... pulling the bike out of the garage this morning, I found a spoke from my xt1200z lying on the drive.
Not good.
The bike currently has Stainless spokes fitted by DaveS, the spoke in question seems to have snapped at the "fixed" end, and...
