overdue

A classic and well overdue :laughing6::laughing6::laughing6::blob7::blob8::blob::blob2::blob3::blob4::blob5:

Background: In 2007 I was lucky enough to find a 1988 XRV650 in Oregon, USA with ~43k km on the clock. I bought it and took it to college with me thinking it'd be a great project bike to work on inmy down time. Welp, turns out university requires time and effort (Mechanical Engineering) and the...

Hello all! :bootyshake: This is my first thread where I will display my lack of skills and my futile attempts at giving my 88 Africa Twin some much needed TLC. I am a 23 year old norwegian guy, originally educated as a mechanical engineer at sea, but I wasn't really that good at it, so now...

The ride will start from the campsite at about 9.30am or earlier if we are all ready. But please aim to be ready to ride at around 9.20am for a pre-ride briefing. The route is around 140miles tent door to tent door with the first and only fuel around 100miles in. I suspect we won't be back at...

Hello My XR650R is long overdue a "Thank You Service". Can someone suggest a decent specialist who can do what is needed, please? Close to Preston would be nice.

After over 5 years of ownership, thousands of miles trail riding and a few punishing weekends competing in UK rallies, I decided it was time to give my 96' AT some overdue TLC.For a start the wheel rims were rotting away on the inside so they needed immediate attention. Also a slow speed off on...

Having a long overdue clear out and came across my old motorcycle boots. The right one got trashed in an incident back in May 2004 (blind car driver!), but the left one is untouched. So, anyone want a good, used left foot Frank Thomas boot? Edit: Size 9. Oh, and you can have the right one too...

On the way home from work tonight my clutch started slipping, next time i changed gear the slipping stopped, i worked out that it wasn't releasing properly, its not the cable as thats new and operating freely. When i got home i played about with it a bit, repeatedly pulling the leaver in and...

I havent been out since early December, when with the XR running rough I decided it was time to check it out and get the oil use problem sorted. So after a rebore, new piston and head re fresh. Then a body work clean up with new plastics and new tank, time spent running in and a carb overhaul it...

Hi all, Been a while since I last had a post here.....but just thought I would let you know that I picked up a nice new TA 700 yesterday. Friday 13th !! and hellish weather !! what a start for a new bilke. Was hoping to get out on it today but the weather was pretty bad here again, so I done...

Hi All, I haven’t posted for a while so hello and how-do to all. Can anyone suggest a good web site where I can buy a service kit for my 2005 950 Adventure. Its overdue and Im on holiday in a couple of weeks so thought I had best get it done. I have tried searching on google for “KTM Service...

Hey guys, New boy to the forum, think its the best, hope you maybe able to help on the journey i have just embarked on. Recently passed me test and have bought a 93 xrv RD07 thats well overdue for a refurb. Shes very poorly at the moment and in bits in my brother-in -laws garage, so i will...

Just a quick "hello everyone" from sunny Weston-Super-Mare. This is my first post so please go easy on me.:p After thirty years of road bikes i thought a change was overdue, so now sitting in the garage is a well used 2003 xr250. I need a bit of advise on fitting new tank decals,as i have never...

As well as my ‘96 @ I have an ‘87 TA which I bought for £500 about seven months ago. It was bought for a mate as a cheapo bike on which to do a little tour of Europe. It showed obvious signs of wear and tear and neglect; the seller was quite honest in saying it hadn’t been serviced at all while...

OK, this post just for your amusement. Have been doing some long overdue jobs on my RD04, and as I've had it over a year now, considered it had earned it's first proper wash!! OK, so VERY quickly over it with some fairy liquid, but it didn't get all the funny black stains off (that seem to...

I'm upgrading various bits of the forum software over the coming hours / days as its long overdue. Please bear with me if the site is down, although it shouldn't be for any length of time. He says hopefully! It normaly all goes smoothly... famous last words.

Ok, after I was left stranded outside their shop, as they closed up and left me to call the AA out, I swore I would not do buisness with them again... However, I do believing in giving people a second chance, and with winter here, I couldnt be arsed to find another dealer miles away that could...
