Hi all, I have a '99 Varadero and here's the problem: Apply the front brake and it releases ok. However, it doesn't activate the rear caliper. Apply the rear brake and it activates both front and rear calipers but doesn't release the rear one properly, which continues to drag. It releases...

Hello all, i'm Ricks son, Joe, and after spending many hours working on his AT trying to get it running right i've still had no luck, so thought id put a post up on here in case anyone had any ideas. Dad is a fairweather rider, so bike was put away before winter running perfectly. Over a month...

My brother just bought a 1986 XR600RF. Motor 100% and no smoke. Was apparently recon (the gaskets does look new) recently. Bottom end revs good grunt. Problem is when holding the throttle open in higher gears you can feel something is holding "back". I did remove the air filter, and the...

.. where the headmster of a secondary school, full of 12 to 18 year olds, feels the necessity to write to parents to remind them that when the sun is shining and it's warm, it's very important your child drinks water and perhaps doesnt wear their school jumper under their blazer ... you know...

After 5500 miles in the last 6 weeks, the machine won't start (2000 xrv). There is fuel, the filter allows flow and the pump pumps. The engine turns, the plugs spark. The ignition coils show correct primary and secondary windings resistance. The throttle position sensor shows appropriate...
