I decided that this year I should do once again some sort of rider's safety training to refresh knowledge and skills. Searching the net I came across a course aimed at people that often ride with pillion passenger. Has anyone in this forum ever completed such a course and can comment on results...

Hi, I thought I'd be proper about putting my handlebars back on and tourque them to the correct setting. 26Nm according to the haynes manual. Before I got there, feeling a bit strange this, the bolt snapped off in the socket! Fortunately I was easily able to get the 50% of the bolt in the...
