While I am waiting for new clutch plates to arrive, I thought I would put the clutch back together for practice. The Haynes manual explains almost everything except which way the plain plates go on. On page 91, paragraph 28 it says put the clutch centre on the bench and put the plates on. Photo...

My 950 developed a really bad wobble. I put this down to a badly worn Pirelli Scorpion Pro. Still plenty of tread but the edges were toast. So fitted a MT21 and the wobble improved a lot....still there a bit, but Im putting the rest down to a new tyre. Then changed the rear from a well worn...

Just wanted to say hello and share a few pics of my new XR250L on a 1999 S Plate. I picked it up on Thursday, she's a bit rough around the edges as its been used soley on fields and woods by its previous owner, but I'm aiming to get it through its MOT for the summer, then I'm looking to do a...

No, honestly, don't bother crossing the border to check out scenery in Scotland. You'll see nothing due to the low cloud, rain, hail, snow etc etc etc No, really, it's sh#te up here :rolleyes: Just to prove the point, I talked AfricaJim into taking another day out on the bike (not the hardest...

Three weekends hard yakka but nearly finished. The bike was a bit rough around the edges and battle scarred when i bought it. But after a few quid spent and a whole load of elbow grease used i feel its really coming together. List of mods so far... Acerbis front and rear mudguards, side panels...

Is there any chance anyone has a cylinder head to fit a 1988 xr600 . I've just tried to regrind the valves only to find that one of the valve seats is chipped around the edges:( All the parts list I can find list mine as a 1988 to 1992 so not sure if a later one will fit? perhaps someone will...

Possibly a stupid question, but do I need a new brake disk? On the way back from Scotland yesterday (around 350ish miles) I noticed the back brake making an odd noise occasionally when coming to a stop (though oddly not while riding at any speed). Seemed intermittent and couldn't immediately...

Just ready to replace my worn K60s. They've done just over 13,000 miles. The front is more worn than yours in the pic Tramp. I have similar tread left in the middle but less on the edges. The rear has 4mm left in the middle and 6mm at the very edge, however after a spirited early morning thrash...

sorry to be repetitive guys, but i`m lost... front wheel dunlop 607/rear wheel anakee. so, the dunlop has worn in a strange way so that the centre is nearly done for with the edges of the tyre still meaty. (probably due to two long trips, fully loaded up on mostly straight motorways). the rear...

Yeah I know this is a bike forum but there's a lot of knowledgeable people here so bear with me ;) Car tyres need 1.6mm of tread across at least 75% of the width. Any rules for the remaining 25%? I've got a set of tyres (Conti Premium Contact -- don't buy 'em!) that have worn to almost...

My Caberg Trip is a nice lid, with the minor exception of me not being able to see where I'm going. The visor mists horribly, which makes misting spectacles even worse! So, I got me Dremel out and drilled 4 holes in the visor. Two at the top, toward the edges straight in. Then two more...

We've had a set of these manufactured for a customer, and he is very pleased with them, so I thought I'd post some pictures to see if there is any interest in having a batch made? I had 2 sets made, so I could trial a set - and I've got to say, I'm very impressed with the quality - better than...

Electroluminescent Safety Vest

Hi All. The seat on my AT has the original base, but the prevoius owner has had it recovered and stuffed with something harder than foam. Also, the edges are very square and 'dig' in to the inside for my legs, so after a while, the circulation to my legs is cut off.:( Has anyone bought a new...
