Hi Has anyone done the 440cc conversion? If so what are the benefits and drawbacks? I am about to start an engine rebuild and wondered if it's worth doing. Thanks. Ben Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi, I've been going through my bro's stuff and found what seems to be modified front sprocket amd what I think is a lift kit. Can anyone tell me the benefits of these? Cheers, Stewart.

Looking at putting one of these on the AJP as the original pump/filter setup can cause issues. I've swapped them out now, but some users suggest a post-pump filter is a good idea too. A fiver or so is possibly cheap insurance! What sort of pressure is generated in a bike efi fuel line...

Hi everyone, Hoping somebody can help. 4 months and 4,000 miles ago I replaced my OEM RegRec precautionarily with a MOSFET type. Now I am in southern Spain, days away from crossing into Morocco and I have the following symptoms: Battery gets very hot. Voltage at idle around 16v Voltage at...

Hi to all! Have been toying with the idea of swapping my 650 with a 2015 NC750X. It's new but it's not the latest model. My main concern is the EFI... what's it like on low throttle openings? I've also heard many bikers complain that throttle may be snatchy / jerky when opening from closed...

Hello, I have a 1987 XL600R (PD04) and it was recently stolen and recovered (luckily no damage and hardly any miles put on) its a great runner and copes pretty well off road. I am looking at turning into an overland bike by way of a few simple mods. I have acquired a 1987 XL600L 28 litre Pairs...

For sale a *********** shock shock for an xl1000v of any year. The shock has remote preload adjustment, adjustable length and compression and rebound has a 175 - 185 spring currently fitted. Has been in my cupboard for a few years since I sold my first varadero, so would benefit from a...

Hi guys lookingto pick the brains of the gurus among you. Still have a problem when I roll off the throttle with coughing (that's the bike it me! Ha ha ). Bike accelerates and runs great but when you get to say 70 and start to roll off the throttle to maintain speed the bike seems to cough it's...

Hi folks - I'm new on here and hoping for some advice. I'm about to buy a '96 XR600. The seller has been very honest in that it uses a bit of oil and would benefit from a set of rings and valve stem seals. It'll be a restoration project but I intend to use it for the Spring/Summer first. I'm...

While the driving public may not have used dashboard camera systems in the past, that could change in the near future as drivers become more aware of the potential benefits. If you get into an accident or have another issue on the road, a dash cam may provide proof of what actually happened and...

Selling on behalf of my son who is now in Australia to fund further travels. This was his pride and joy. It is a 2001 model year (Y reg) Honda CBR600F Sport in red and black. 27,000 miles. Looking for around £1,950.00 It's been in store since October 2014 so is SORN and currently without an...

Items removed from a 2007 Fi Varadero 1000 about 4 years ago. Have long since sold the bike. Chain guard standard fitment. Wiped down and most of the oily crap removed. Will bolt straight on. £15 posted. I also have a pair of standard exhausts/silencers (i.e. not the headers) removed...

Evening knowledgeable ones, can anyone explain what the benefits are of removing the resonator tank and fitting an early model snorkel (duct housing). I'm at a point with all the parts needed to do it or not.

I received a pair of braces in the post this morning through the letterbox . I have a pair of black snow boarding /skiing trousers made by a company called parallel I use for a warm layer fantastic bit of kit over the leather pants with the water proof pants over them warm and dry or just pull...

Evening All, Have been browsing eBay/Gumtree for a while and haven't seen many for sale lately. I'm after a 600 Transalp as a second bike/project. I'd like a bike which is mechanically sound but could benefit from a bit of tlc. Looking to pay around £1k. I'm based in Manchester so something...

Advice please Guys. My 89 NX650 has started conking out when I pull up to a stop. I'm not too clever with carb bikes as I've been spoilt with EFI for years. When I first got the bike up and running last year I fitted a new gasket and jet kit to the carb, set the carb up following the...

I've now had my first short ride on the SLR and enjoyed it very much. It's so much lighter, narrower and more chuckable than the Strom. However, having EFI on my last 2 bikes has spoiled me a little. The SLR has a stumble just coming off idle which is a bit annoying. It feels as though it's a...

I've just bought a Divvie! The exact opposite of an FX650 in many ways. Why? Well I LOVE FX650's, bloody bloody LOVE them! I have three on the road at the moment and an SLR which I bought because it was cheap (turned out to be a bit of a hound but I'll get it sorted). I want to be able to...
