For an RD04. Ernest Burguieres

It says in my honda hand book 10/30 or 10/40 engine oil but my hanyes manual has just arrived and it says 10/30, most adds selling oil for tranalp 700 are selling 10/40! Are most of you using 10/40?.

I fitted a Cymarc Crudcatcher the other week, when I removed the bolt just below the oil level sight glass there was a weep of oil from the bolt hole. Which seemed very odd, and as this was the first bolt i undid I fitted the Crudcatcher by only removing one bolt at a time and tightened them to...

Hi guys, After doing the Hafren Rally in September I finally got round to do an engine oil change! I could no longer get a reading on the dipstick so without knowing how much oil was left after the harshness of the rally abuse....I thought its best to drain it and change! I only got about...

Ok, so I have some questions for you regarding my XL 600VW: 1. How much can I tighten the rear shock? The Haynes manual specifies a minimum spring length, meaning I shouldn't tightening more than that. However, some people I've met tell me ignore that and go ahead. Comments? 2. At what oil...

Hi all, I'm new to the DR350 scene so please be gentle with what will I'm be some stupid questions! My '92 DR350 has a really bad oil leak from the magneto/generator cover. I took the cover off and sure enough there was a piece of gasket missing about an inch long. My question is, should there...

I broke down yesterday On inspection The alternator side is filled with engine oil not good ! Is it a complete engine out split engine? Obviously a seal has gone, to replace it can I do it with the engine in situ? Do I need special tools? or can I use a 3 legged puller? to drag the rotor...

Hey peeps, I have an XRV RD03 1989. About 1000miles after buying the bike I noticed that the clutch was starting to cause problems, these issues were more obvious in hot weather when the bike was hot, With the clutch leaver pulled fully in the bike wants to pull forward a little and when...
