Hi, Can anyone tell me wether the engine takes semi-synthentic or fully synthetic oil? I can see that it takes 10w40 but what do people reccomend on here? Thanks Stewart Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Can anyone reccomend a reliable UK wheel builder?.

Duplicate post. My mistake.

Evening, I would like your opinion on tyres please. My riding experience covers all types of bike over 16 years, commuting all year round in all weathers and playing at the weekends. I brought my 1998 600 Translap this July after the last 8 years on a 955i Daytona, which was reluctantly sold...

New member here. This is not a wanted ad. I am planning on selling off my PanEuropean barge and get something a bit smaller. I am a boring old thing and want a sensible reliable bike that i can do my own maintenance on. I am also hoping to go and invade the Picos De Europa next year. The...

I have used the search function but cannot find the answer. I have a 84 XL600LMF with the red engine. The paint is now rapidly dissapearing and is looking decidely scruffy and in need of some love. What colour paint, what type of paint, what make of paint, etc etc do you reccomend? Cheers.

Hi folks. Any one reccomend where I could get an overlong set of fork caps made up for the Vara? I think +35mm or so should be right, idea to increase the front ground clearance a bit, but mainly to change the geometry a touch to minimise the front wheel tuck in inherent with a 19" wheel and a...

Further to my last thread ( free at last), Having done the rest of the service, i.e. , plugs,valve clearance, filter oil ect, it was balancing the carbs that made the difference. Before it sounded rough and spate back on light throttle and even stalled at lights. As soon as my pal put his guages...

Hi chaps, having just done ~4000 miles on my 97' AT I have come to the conclusion that the fly screen is next to useless. Especially on the motorway. Why don't they fit good screens on motorbikes in the first place!! (£ obviously) I'm looking at buying the following; Motorcycle / Motorbike...

Hi chaps. Im thinking of getting one of those cheapish cycle computers for my 650r. Been looking and there are a load to choose from. Has anybody got one on their bike which the could reccomend?? The only reason i want one is to give me a rough idea of the speed (in mph). I've seen the vapour...
