Really made myself look a plonker today (yea, more than usual). Talking to a friend and he was saying about the RD01, RD02, and I thought to myself, "Hang on", RD03 was the first version and said so. "I have an RD01 he says, its a shaft drive. The RD02 was the Dominator". "Never realised this...

heya, I posted this on ADV as well but I wanted to access more thoughts on the subject. The video shows the chain slack on my bike - I don't know how old it is but the chain tensioner is at minimum so I assume it's reasonably new. Thoughts?

Hi all, I am building a special and have picked up what I believe to be some XL600 forks (gold sliders if that makes any difference) The thread in the fork leg is a metric fine M12x1.25 and I'm after a spindle to suit. The ones I've seen for sale seem to be M14x1.5 thread. Can anybody shed any...

As per subject line is there anything worth knowing when it comes to tarting up the wheels? Can I, for example, just take a brillo pad to them? Or wire wool? Or a toothbrush? Any do's and don'ts when it comes to chemicals? I've see some guys using brick cleaner, others use branded products...

Hi I am about to approach the subject of valve clearances on my alp....I have the honda manual. Is there any advice you can offer? The bike runs perfect but are there any symptoms which would indicate valve clearance work being needed? R. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I personally would have no issue eating horse meat - it's just another quadraped herbivore like cows, sheep, pigs, and deer all of which I already consume in vast quantities. As long as it's labeled as horse meat , subject to the same controls as other meat ie not an ex racehorse pumped full of...

There is a consultation out on the subject. There is pretty much zero risk of fraud for bikes but is a driver who can't speak or read English a risk on the roads? DSA asks if tests should be in languages other than English | the-zebra.com

Subject line says it all, but I'll say it again anyway, just in case you didn't hear Happy Birthday BobA ! :occasion6::occasion4::occasion5::occasion4:

just wondered really as I've owned a few bikes over the years but don't think I ever changed the fork oil in any of them . I change the oil in my mtb suspension forks every year but they're subject to being covered in a lot of crap/water on a regular basis.

Hi, I'm new on here so if the subject has been covered before don't shoot I come in peace. The clock is working, the stopwatch is working but the distance facilities aren't. I've checked with a multimeter and I'm getting an electrical reading when the front wheel is being rotated. Anyone with...

I've just put my '87 XR250 on the road after a long sorn and am wondering if I need to be concerned about the affect of modern petrol with ethanol in it on my plastic tank. I did a search on the forum on this subject but didn't find anything specifically for the plastic tank on the XR. I'm well...
