purpose

Can someone tell me what these bolts are for or purpose? One in the upper cylinder and one in lower. Regards Pete

Ok time to set the cat amongst the pigeons, whats the best tyres for the big Vara ? Dual purpose or road only tyres ?

Mine has vanished (along with the tax disc that was bolted on). Is it cosmetic or does it really serve a useful purpose?

About a year and a half ago I got one of those cheap battery chargers from lidl when they had their bike stuff on sale, and I've been using it to keep the battery on my 125 and the @T topped up while I haven't been using them. When I let my little 125 battery run right down once, I noticed it...

I have been looking for a dual purpose bike and truly stumbled across a 1987 Transalp. I am mechanically inclined but i don't know much about these bikes. Until the other day i didn't know they existed. I am in Ontario Canada. I am wondering about reliability and parts and what not with the...
