    Hi all I've been riding my trusty Transalp daily now for 12 months. It was time for a new Chain and Sprocket set. I removed everything that was required and gave it all a good clean. Fitted both Sprockets then re-assembled with the new chain. Had some problems with riveting the master link as...

    I am faced by an issue where my XRV 750 RD07 is losing power when it reaches 6000rpm. It seems to be a fuel deprivation. Fuel tank has been checked for any impurities. Carburators have been cleaned and 1 diaphragm changed. No coil wires. Any suggestions please?

    Took my 2009 Xl700 for it's first proper 'long' ride today, 100 miles down to cornwall - fine, all smooth, very happy. On the way back about 30 miles in there was a sudden loss of power, engine spluttering like it had no fuel- even out of gear it would not rev past 3000. Pulled over, checked...

    Hello there, I'm a newbie to the site and have an issue with my XR250 (86). After an off on an event last year it lost compression when kicking it over.

  13. Africa Twin
    Hi, Just got back from a longer trip with my Africa Twin and discovered that the oil loss is very high, about 1.5 liters on 1200 km distance riding with an average 100 km speed. Before I start to dig in the engine, perhaps someone has already had the same problem and knows where to look into...

    Got some really shit news today from my mechanic mate who was looking at an oil leak for me. He discovered that the "fully restored" AT I bought had had its crank case welded together and he also found cracks in the casing. I'm gutted. Options are to replace the casing, replace the engine or...

    Selling my CRM250, it's not getting enough use, and my right arthritic hip is giving me some grief, so I need something with a lecky button. The CRM: 1997 had a full nut and bolt rebuild in 2014, looks and runs like it's just out of the factory, has a few very minor scuffs from half a dozen...
