    My dommie’s tail light failed on the way home last night. The first clue was when a trucker flashed his lights at me after I passed him on the M25. A couple of others flashed but it’s remarkable how many of my fellow motorists didn’t! Also remarkable what a faff it is to get to the bulb. Both...

    Help please! I've set myself the task of replacing my rear brake pads but I've fallen at the first hurdle. I can't for the life of me see how to get the pad retaining pin out. I can't see any threads / hex heads like on my other bikes. I can just about see a tiny hole where I guess an r-clip...

    Hello troops thanks for the previous help much appreciated, now I'm wondering is the front sprocket meant to have some play in it, and what is the correct way round please im guessing the flat side has the retaining clamp as the way I found it other day it had the ridge facing out with the clamp...

    Just wondering how long the retaining washer for the front sprocket should last? I had to replace mine quite soon after buying the bike because all the teeth had worn away allowing the front sprocket to slide along the spline and rub on the cover under deceleration. That was about 6,000 miles...

    Hi there. I needed a new choke cable for my Dommie which is a 96 model on a 97 plate, therefore an RD08. When the cable arrived the end fitting looked different and simply did not fit in the carb end. The carb has a black plastic insert and retaining clip, as you can see the taper on the new...

    I've read about numerous speedo breakdowns where shims are totally vaporized, the nylon gear worn out, wire broke etc. My speedo stopped after flicking about for a while. I ordered new parts, wire, nylon gear and shims. When I took everything apart there was nothing wrong with either of those...

    Was riding home this afternoon from work doing just over the speed limit :evil4: when this Pigeon came out of nowhere and hit my o/s rear view mirror. It smashed into the mirror and then proceeded to launch itself into my neck!:shock: I got a right face full. Luckily my visor was down. When it...

    Hello I'm looking at fitting a DEP S7 exhaust (rear section), to my 2000 XR400. The outlet selling the kit reckons on retaining standard jetting, which my bike currently runs... anyone able to advise? Thanks in advance Mayhem

    Good evening people. The other evening a changed the front sprocket for a 16 tooth. When I removed the old sprocket the retaining plate was bolted to the flat side of the sprocket. Once I removed I noticed a cut out in the back that matched the retaining plate. Was the sprocket on the wrong way...

    I've issues with my TA650 V1 brakes. Front caliper piston sticking loads, lock the front wheel when applied and don't release. I need a fix that costs no money! I've been working them in and out with copious WD40, but not getting much easier! Rear caliper pad retaining pin well and truly...

    Hi guys, I am changing the front pads on my RD07A and last night I had to destroy the retaining pins and bend the pad spring to get them out. Then I went to work very happy with myself. Problem is, I cant work out how the retaining springs go back in? I have new pins to fit, but I have bent...

    Hello all I'm trying to replace the rear brake pads but the bolts of the pad retaining pin and the one that attaches the caliper to the carrier have rounded off. I've soaked then in WD40, given them a whack with a hammer, tried Torx bits but so far they are not budging. What are your...

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and would welcome some help with my wee bike. I'm doing a topend rebuild and am a little confused with my findings? The camshaft appears to have quiet a bit of lateral movement causing some damage to the camshaft location. There is a slot in the cam which would suggest...
  18. Helmets
    I know your not supposed to paint helmets, but what type of paint can you use to cover chips or scratches on an Arai? Can you use normal car paint touch up kits? I dropped a bloody retaining ring from a cable oiler yesterday onto my boot, which then flicked off and hit my helmet and has...

    Well the good news is that I have checked the drive output shaft and there is little/no wear. The cogs not quite as bad as I thought but I have ordered a news C&S set. What surprised my was the state of the retaining plate - really badly worn (50%) where it was rubbed on the output shaft...
