Got into Airheads a few years ago when I picked up my first one an R100 GS PD, since then I've been lucky enough to find a few of the things including 2 R80 g/s pd's and an R80 GS Basic, change in circumstances has made me decide that the stable has to be reduced so I took the Basic and the...

I usually start my bike running (on sidestand) and then let it warm up while I'm donning togs. This morning as I went to get on I noticed a wet patch on the gravel under the bike (Vara 1000 carb), and upon closer inspection found that there was an obvious dripping from one of the breather pipes...

Hi Ref 1999. NX650. 34000 miles. Bodger would be mechanic. I while ago I had a problem with the carb draining via the overflow, fixed it with a new rubber tipped float valve (£20.20 from Honda), whilst doing this I removed lots of crud (tank was rusting) and a screw in needle that stupidly I...

Ok, I've done 7k miles with my XC now and as all who know me can vouch I'm pretty damned hard on the bike so may incur uncommon faults! The fault I'm highlighting here is a problem with the gear indicator/neutral light. At 1500 miles mine had an issue with the gear indicator which ended with...

Got a 400 2002 plate KTM400 to go to Spain with in October. Left it in Somerset when I finished work there just after the Spainish trip and finally brought it home at the end of November in the back of a Mondeo. So it was partly stripped to get it in car. I deceide to fully strip it and get the...

Have refitted the top box for the commute and therefore my Touratech Luggage Rack Extension aluminium plate is for sale. Really handy when you want to tie a bigger bag down on the back of the bike, I used it regularly when riding down to Spain with my 80L North Face bag behind me. Looks good...

Finally got around to trying to free the centre stand off. I reckon the bolt had never been regerased since it came from mr honda and as a result the centre stand spring would not .. erm ... spring! After a week of WD40 every night I set to it. Tried the rubber mallet, no joy. Tried the medium...

Hello Folks, Just refitted some indicators (not LED). The problem I'm having is that they come on, but don't flash. When you switch the indicators on you can hear a very quiet 'arcing' noise coming from relay. It stops as soon as the indicators come. I assume the indicator relay is gone...

Lloyds are the main (only) Honda dealers in Carlisle, situated on Kingstown Industrial Estate just a stones throw from Junction 44 of the M6. They have proved themselves to be top blokes. The rear tyre on my R1100GS has been leaking air so I took the loose wheel in for them to have a look at...

My speedo recently stopped working so I naturally assumed the cable had broke so ordered a new one from wemoto. Anyway, it arrived and was duly fitted. It worked for all of 7 miles, then the speedo stopped working again. I checked the cable and it wasn't broke, I then took the front wheel off...
