fettle

Evening all. Not been on for a while. Domestic duties, and a new very full on job has kept me away, but it's nice to be back. I stopped using my Transalp daily in my old job when they moved my office from Harrow to central London. With a new job and a shorter commute I'm still not using it...

Had my head down lately, having a bit of a clearout of the garage.... Sadly sold my much loved NC30 to release some funds but not before I had clapped eyes on a cheaper, in need of a "little fettle & tlc" version :rolleyes: The chance of a 'ickle road trip was too much to turn down :D With V...

Hi there Guy's N Girls, I am wanting to get into the Africa Twin thing and have the chance of buying one from a work collegue but want to know if the price is reasonable. I know its hard to pin it down without pics but this is pritty much it. Africa Twin RD04...

Not an event, but a charity I'm involved with both in raising funds for the Calum's Road project, riding with a group of other idiots to Gambia through the worst winter on record and since then making trips to help out with various projects and fix and fettle the motor cycles that are so...

Hi, I'm in my mid thirties and never been into bikes so much so that I've never owned one before now, however a chap at work has had one lying about for the last two years with the intention of doing his CBT with it but he never got round to it. Its a Cat C right off but you couldn't tell and...

This is my latest project, as it's my first RD04 I'll maybe have a few questions once the spanners come out. The intention is to bung some TKCs on and after a strip, clean and serious fettle go and have some fun.

Hi Folks, it's been a busy week, can anyone help? Am I right in thinking I can ride an un-MoT'ed Bike to a test centre to a pre arranged test? And what are the rules about riding it home (about 3 miles) if it fails (to either tweak and return within the 10 days, or to fettle over winter)...

I've had a string of trail bikes, starting off with a Yam XT350 in 1997, followed by three XR400's beginning in 2001. The XR is a brilliant bike - I love the mechanical simplicity, great for the home...

Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. I've been lurking around this forum for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed with the amount of knowledge on here. Great community spirit! :thumbup: I picked up my '90 AT on Saturday, it goes great but I intend to treat it...

:( Just that. :( I know it's lots of abuse created, but it means I'm going to have to call the Cambrian on a "Proper" UK-Rally bike. So much so, I'm going to write the email soon. All I needed to do was Have the wheels rebuilt with new spokes and nipples so they could be tightened up...

The Twinmax landed yesterday so after a succesfull fiddle with the BM I'm gonna fettle the AT. I'm not too sure which screws i need to get at though. I'm assuming the one the twinmax pipes connect to is the take off from the bottom of the carb which has a rubber hose attached to it and faces...

Just popped out to my shed to have a little fettle with some brake callipers for my project bike (Abigail) Blowing a gale outside and rain is intermitantly hammering against the window. The radio's on 5 live and the Calton v Blackburn match is on. I've a cuppa in my therrmal mug and my two...
