Howdy chaps, I just bought a Akrapovic SP exahust system (end cans and connector pipes - not full system). Before I set to installing them, can I ask whether or not i need to retune the bike or will the ecu adapt itself? On the Triumph Rocket 3 for example, you had a thing called a "12 min...

Has anyone fitted an oil cooler thet they would like to share their experience of ? I want to fit one down where that silly little toolbox resides. Information on what second hand coolers that would be suitable and what fittings etc are required to plumb one in would be most useful . I wait in...

Hi' to all from a older? newbie. Based in West Lanc's. Just swapped my Moto Guzzi California 1100 for a 58 TA700. Both Vee twins but a bit of a difference between them.

Just bought myself a '86 XLR to run about on and get some practice offroading before i take the plunge and start racing in Circa74 on my scrambler. One of the headers has rotted through on the XLR. Welding is not realy an option as the pipe is paper thin. Do all the XR/XL/XLR 250's have the same...

Cant take credit for this method, as I came across it on an AJS owners site, but as it works, and for us ole timers does away with the need for the brute strength we used to have but now sadly lack, I think its worth sharing: Drill your vise to accept a 6mm bolt (approx. you can use any size as...

First of all, my mother tongue is not English, so please feel free (by PM) to help me to remove all the errors I have done in the following explanation. As I did not find information about the Race Tech Emulators and the NX650, I took the hard way: I purchased a set of them and got my hands...

Big debate to post here but here goes. I've done 30k on my 08 TA700 and loved every moment. I've dealt with the usual warranty issues with an exhaust upgrade awaiting me at my dealers. I've added all the accessories I could need/use within limits. I've commuted daily in all weathers and...

Dakar 2011 entries are just about to open in the next few days so I thought this would be a good time to post. No major changes to rules in 2011, the progression to smaller engines, targeted checkpoints and so on is moving ahead.... the official pre-press blurb for anyone interested. An...

I've just been shopping around for a RAM mount and came across this apparent bargain. OtterBox iPod Clip with Handlebar Mount it's got an Otterbox Ipod clip on one end but from the photo's it should be an easy mod to adapt it to any use (at least that's what I'm hoping) I've ordered one...

Friday night I was on my way up to Whitley Bay to my sister's house and was riding along the A19, as the fog got thicker north of Middlesborough I decided to slow down, not as much as I wanted though as other people were still going 70+ with visibility of less than 30m if that. Got to Peterlee...

I'm told that it is possible to adapt, and make air-tight, spoked TA wheel rims to safely accept tubeless tyres. Any of you lot done it and done away with the tubes? Any opinions as to efficaciousness of such an adaptation?
