Hi, I have a 2004 XR400, the model without a battery (are they all like this?) bought in the UK. I want the facility to charge a mobile phone or sat-nav whilst riding. The alternator appears to produce an unrectified but regulated output of around 12v AC for the lights. Is there a means to...

I don't know what this is ? Black box, inside tool compartment ? Has a toggle switch on top ? Isolator ??..... hefty chunk of (multiple) wiring coming out of it. I'd assumed a 'secret' ignition isolator, if one were fitted, would be pretty much a single wire jobbie ? This has half a...

Morning! I am on the look out for an AT but cant decide which model would best suit me! I ve used the search facility and come across a few threads discussing the models but I am still torn! I love the look and style of the RDO4 but can you still get pannier racks, screens etc or is the RD07...

I like tea. This time thirty years ago, I was probably drinking tea and chatting with like minded motorcyclists at the High Beech Tea Hut. Future generations of us & them might not be so fortunate to benefit from the convivial facility. Save High Beech Tea Hut !

Tried the search facility to no avail on this. I'm getting a rattle at tickover, sounds like a camchain as soon as you feed the clutch in to pull away the noise stops. Any ideas ? cam chain ? does the Transalp 600 have balancers ?

Hi all. I've added a maps facility to the forum now. The more observant will have noticed a Maps link next to the calendar one in the nav bar above. As an aside I'm aware that we have links in this bar and also in the top right. One day I'll get round to sorting them out properly and having...

The blog facility we have is crap..... its a really naff bit of software that doesn't really allow proper blog functionality. We were helping the company try it as beta software but as you can sense I don't get on with it! So along come vBulletin who make our forum software and they have...

Can you help me do some testing please. I've rewritten the picture upload facility. It still needs lots of finishing off but I want to start to fix any problems now rather than later. http://www.xrv.org.uk/picture_upload.php It now allows multiple uploads (well 5), resizes the image...

The picture upload facility is broken at the moment. Apologies. I'm working on fixing it.
