Just purchased a 1998 twin (always wanted to own one) and me fairing bolt heads are nasty and rusty. Would anyone out there know where i could find replacements?:p

Hi guys! I have my AT set at roughly 700 RPM idle speed. Lower than that and it becomes a rough and jumpy ride. Higher than that and the bike becomes too eager, as well as some nasty clanking when selecting the first gear from neutral. So to me, 1200 RPM idle seems too fast, even though this is...

Just cleaned the accumulated winter crappage off the @ and found this nasty on the rear wheel. Is this what I think it is? :rolleyes:

Another podium for the boy. Lets get Scott Redding in there and give em a couple of Repsol Hondas? Shame about Bradleys finger. That looked nasty!

Hi folks. Well, I went along to the show on Saturday, a very nasty day weatherwise. Makes you wonder who came up with the idea to have a bike show in Scotland in March, usually a month with snow still going about and roads covered in salt. Ok, the outside events, if they were on, were pretty...

Hi all, ( First Post ! ) I have changed out the indicators on my AT for some cheepy ebay ones (£40), I'm not happy with them, they are bright at night, but in the day they are.... useless... they are very directional and not very good at all tbh. Just a bit "nasty". Anyone had any experience...

The Cheap way down Part 1 I had taken the dog out for a walk on boxing day and thought how great it would be to go for a ride with the roads being empty but I couldn’t even do that since I had sold my Africa Twin a month ago thinking that I wouldn’t be doing much riding over the winter and it...

Hi new member, after 18 years of increasingly quick sportsbikes in an increasingly congested road system I sold my last fast bike, that had become more a toy than a mode of transport, in an attempt to get back to real motorcycling. I need a bike I can commute on (14 miles backroads or 14 miles...

Hi, my XRV 750 now in Spain has a nasty habit of dying momentarily - then bursting back into life. Not necessarily when blazing hot conditions. Is this fuel - or perish the thought electrics? Any answers please. Muchas gracias!
