Hi Folks Re: RD07A (1998 W Vin No) Front Brakes Upgrade! Been quite a while since my last post and, I dare to raise this old chestnut again! BTW, I have searched the forum but, I'm hoping there may be more recent research and actual upgrades that someone may be kind enough to advise on. Last...

Morning All, Has anyone had a go at fitting just a top yoke from any of the Honda family? I'm wondering if an XR600 or an XR650L may fit the dommi? I know the ignition switch could be an issue but its more does it fit the forks and stem ok? Reason I ask is I am trying to find a yoke with...

Well we have gone from this to this then... and to and.. Frame, yoke, swingarm and wheels all powdercoated. Engine sprayed matt black. Tank stripped and clear lacquered. I know it wont be to everyone's taste on here, but I am pretty happy with it so far. There are a few...

Any tips please on how / where to mount a Garmin sat nav mount on my Dommie? On my other bikes I have used Telferizer bits to attach to either a clip-on bolt-hole or the hole in the top of the steering stem. Neither is an option on the Dommie. I'm thinking of mounting on the bars somehow /...

Bike is starting to smoke quite a bit now so am having a top end refresh valve seats recut and valves.Having trouble obtaining genuine Honda valve stem seals are they still available ? I have been to the usual suspects Fowlers ,Dave Silver, Wemoto. Obviously I would like to fit best available...

Hi folks - I'm new on here and hoping for some advice. I'm about to buy a '96 XR600. The seller has been very honest in that it uses a bit of oil and would benefit from a set of rings and valve stem seals. It'll be a restoration project but I intend to use it for the Spring/Summer first. I'm...

Just out of curiosity (and because there are some high milers appearing on EBay) please post your ODO readings, with a description of any (if any) engine work needed. Here are mine: FX650 14900 FX650 14300 SLR650 27000 SLR650 17800 - coming up for stem seals I think.

Hi If somebody has done this or if this subject has already been covered someplace, please re-direct me there (with a url/link) I'm having issues with my RD03 engine (high oil consumption and various other problems) and I'm not seeing the option of repairing it as being that much cost effectiv...

I decided to strip down my XL as it was burning oil when cold. So I bought the gaskets and valve stem seals and started the strip down. I noticed a few none original bolts holding the tappet covers down but it came apart o.k. The piston is marked 100 so assume that is a 1.mm over bore. The...

Hi all, Has anyone got a lower Yoke and stem for a DR350 they want to sell? Thanks Jim

Quick question, I think my pump might be tired :rolleyes: Just idling the engine the other day (partly to check a few things / partly to heat the bleedin' freezing garage up!) and ran fine for half an hour, coughed and died... Tried a few times (like, 10 minutes!) to start up, and no joy (good...

My bike didn't come with one, I saw it on the BPH fiche when looking and I wondered if it's cosmetic / only needed for riding thru the desert / vital for engine cooling... or a mix of those ;) 15-odd quid from Ling's - worth it, or not? Part 5 on the fiche: STEERING STEM - AFRICA TWIN 750...

I'm about to start replacing most of my bike's bearings, and the nut that sets the torque for the head bearings (around 11 psi IIRC) 'requires' a specific castellated Honda socket retailing at I think around the 50 quid mark... Before I strip the front stem, does anyone know what the approx...

Changed the rear tyre on the A/T today and was pleased with the codition of the internals of the wheel rim,there was some corrosion around the valve stem hole which I used a Dremel to grind out back to decent metal and the rest of the rim I just wire brushed and applied a light coating of...
