For my Pyrenees ride this year I've given the beast a good makeover.

I finally got my Flatside sorted and fitted onto my scrambler with the help of Nick from Brummingham ,our resident flatside guru.:thumbup: Now it sounds like a beast that just wants to eat small children and scare old ladies.:D:D:D I havnt been for a test ride yet as the foot pegs are getting...

Probably something to do with how I put the bike back together after changing the front pads and disc a few weeks ago although no signs of any issued before today. Speedo seems to be going up the wall. Needle jumping about a lot! Is this just going to be the able? Wondering if this is a fault...

After 3 months with my 700 TA it has now departed for pastures new. I never really gelled with it the way I did with my previous 650s - it is, as many have observed, a different beast apparently aimed at a different market. For a while I was intending to change it for another 650 but I got...

Hi, Quite new to the Varo so just a precaution. Could I charge the battery on the bike all connected or should I disconnect it (using Ctek charger). Does removing the battery lead to resetting any electronic stuff that needs to be adjusted afterwards or similar issue ? Probably basic questions...

Hi, just joined seeking some info for an informed choice of cheap trailies to buy for the impending onslaught of winter as the Pan is a big beast to negotiate on icy roads. I started off my bike history some 20 odd years ago on an XT125 but that was the only trailie I have ever had. Spend the...

I had the pleasure of going over to a mates place on friday to help him work on a Vincent Comet he is working on. He is sorting out some starting problems and his missus has just re-wired it. When thats done, the owner is bringing over a Vincent Black Shadow for the same TLC. I am going back...

Greetings all. Being a Dommie newbie, I thought I would join this forum and ask at least one daft laddie question, maybe two? 1. Oil is clearly critical to looming after the beast. How often to change the oil and filter? 2. How do I check the oil level? There's no windae in the...

Bump Starting that is...... I've never needed to bumpstart the beast but I've tried it a couple of times to see how easy/hard it was. I found it impossible. I once rolled down a hill with it and tried but also no luck. One day I might have to. Has anyone done this successfully?

hi there im new to this site and would like some help i am building a quad bike with a nx 650 engine everything was going fine until i came to wire the engine up everything is working until i try and fire the beast up fires once and then nothing it has a huge spark any help would be a huge help...

Met up with Nibby from ABR for a couple hours practice for the upcoming BBRC rally. Went to practice drifting but side tracked into some mud........and I got stuck and it took the 2 of us 40 mins to free the beast. I have smelt of bog all day. The missus aint happy. Esspecially as my bike...

Bit of a long shot but the beast must go.............................but its on French plates !!!! 1st Reg ......Germany 2nd Reg.......UK 3rd Reg.......France 4th Reg........possibly UK 2000 / 70k kmls with everything ( if interested i'll do a list) €3000....£2500

well my beast has been laid up for the past month having some tlc ready for the better weather ( even though its an all year round bike ). been meaning to get some of the more time consuming jobs done at last. changed all (inc forks) fluids. not too bad considering its coming up to 40k.new...

" Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea! For the Devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short! Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast. For it is a human number, It's number...is six hundred and sixty six " My first milestone, 666 posts...

I have just got back from my local KTM dealer where I test rode a 990 Adventure. WOW - what a bike. PLUS points - fantastic engine, pulls really hard in any gear, sounds great, even thought it a lot taller than my TA the balance is fantastic, within a couple of minutes I was quite happy to stop...
