sensitive

Just bought a decent XR500r, it runs great but the throttle is very touchy or sensitive off idle. Any suggestions?

I finished my chainoiler bodge. I put 200 miles on it today and it works surprisingly well. What it ISN'T is pretty. My bike is a 1990 Transalp with many Africa Twin bits. It's like this because the ATs were never imported to cruiser-happy America and poor sods like us have to build our own...

A woman meets a man in a bar.They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the bedroom with...

We'll be there - freezin our sensitive bits off in a rusty caravan held together by spit and chewing gum :D In a spirit of selfless sarifice I'm ferrying the stuff we need on the bike while they slum in on a train. :rolleyes: Soooo .... they basically fell for my cunning plan to get the...

Hi all, Is it normal (well as normal as the @ world can be) for the near side headlight to be not as bright as the right hand lamp whilst on full beam. This has been bugging me for some time now and with my extra sensitive super man like eyes is really beginning to p**s me off. Am I really...

The XR has a cold spark plug for hot running. The chap I bought it from put in for my journey back home (80 miles including motorways). Is the XR that sensitive? Can I just change back to the standard one? How would it get on if I spent the whole day when it was hot green laning. Should I keep...

Re: 2012 Olympics Logo No, I saw that too! ;) And clearly I wasn't alone. Look here if nobody with sensitive eyes is watching! ie NOT AT WORK OR WITH KIDS AROUND. Just to be clear!

I had a conversation with my ex wife that wasn't pleasant. I wrote this to relieve myself. 22 reasons Women are not as good as Bikes: 1) They are more costly to run than a Bike. 2) Bikes love it when you spend hours fiddling about with them before getting on 3) Unlike Motorbikes, when you...

I have just got back from my local KTM dealer where I test rode a 990 Adventure. WOW - what a bike. PLUS points - fantastic engine, pulls really hard in any gear, sounds great, even thought it a lot taller than my TA the balance is fantastic, within a couple of minutes I was quite happy to stop...

Not a TA or AT problem but on my son's Honda city fly. One of the rear indicators is broken so we replaced both with a pair of cheap Motrax one's (£9.99). What I didn't realise was that these have small 2.3watt bulbs and flashed too fast. So, he took 'em back and replaced them with some...

Why men die first If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the Rat race, you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy. If you work too hard, there's never any time for her. If you don't work, you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she has a...

Just got back from test riding a 990 Adventure and 1200 GS. Overall, was pleased to be back on my AT for the ride home!! 990 throttle WAY to sensitive and felt the GS very stiff on corners and a bit twitchy on gear change (being a flat twin I assume). Friend came with me on his Blackbird and on...
