Hello. I am writing to learn if any XRV750 owners may have learned of premature countershaft or output shaft wearing and continued to ride while monitoring the wear rate. The first image reflects approximately a 30-40% reduction in the width of the splines. Also, please note the condition of...

Haven't been on forum for a number of months, but am now giving a used T/A I bought end of last year some much needed TLC. It is all slowly coming together with lower seat, home-made side stand plate, rust removed, sump guard repaired and cleaned up, Scottoiler now working and generally cleaned...

At 6:30 this evening, from a distance that precluded direct action/intervention, watched in increasing disbelief, then shock, as a blind driver reversed their Freelander into my Transalp ... knocking my TA over Crash ! onto it's right hand side ... Hit and run Freelander then sped away ... but...

I have to sell my nearly new Shark Vision-R helmet. I really liked this, it has am amazing field of view that makes other lids feel claustrophobic. Only slight flaw that it can get a bit warm inside in hot weather at low speeds. Unfortunately the fit just isn't right for my head :( Read...

I have a very poorly KTM with a stripped engine at the dealers. The estimate repair cost is £1,925. What to do. Im open to suggestions. Its sits really awkward having this repair bill - and this is on top of the £250 I paid a few weeks ago for a service and new fuel pump (plus new tyres and bar...

Right then - the time has come to throw in the towel and admit defeat having fought this battle every year for some time. i changed tyres this weekend and services the callipers prior to the MOT which was meant to be today - one piston had not been working so i decided to pump the pistons out...

Is it worth junking the fairings etc to save weight? As I have a part assembled 1995 TA that I am selling at the moment I thought I would weigh some of the components to see what savings can be made. Item Kg Side front panel LH 0.765...

My AT may only have 30K on it but the startup smoke and front cylinder sparkler deposits tell a story of probable dodgy valve seals :( I'm trying to decide whether to do the job myself (and get warm glowy pat self on back feeling:p) or give it to someone who knows what they are doing (no skinned...

In brief, this is the problem that I was trying to cure: Gearbox output shaft splines stripped as a result, I suspect, of the sprocket being fitted the wrong way around for long enough to cause wear due to uneven loading. Bike unable to move under its own power. The accepted solutions to...

Hi, my RD07 Africa Twin currently had Avon Distanzias fitted but I just can't get on with them. I have tried pressures varying from 29/29 to 32/38 but they still don't inspire confidence after several twitches during cornering. I use my bike almost exclusively for A road and motorway riding...
