I was lucky enough to source a slightly used Boano tank. The fasteners that were on the tank do not have the smaller "inner" piece that accepts the twist stud. Can anyone tell me if the Boano kit comes with these or does one drill out the riveted pieces on the OEM tank and use? Yjx

hola mes amigos, Up until now I've always been a "seat it and twist it 1/4 to 1/2 a turn" type of chap but I've found myself pondering the virtues of a torque wrench recently - however I'm somewhat put off by the price - ....but I'm also aware that a penny pinched is a thread stripped so. Do...

i have had a long battle to get my africa back on the road every twist has a problem ,every turn has a issue but i have never given up. i am now offically stuck . if you read the thread is my bike cursed you will see i now have a crank with brokem gear teerh . i have been advised the only real...

Hi Guys bought a 2002 XR400 saturday rode it home 80 miles no problems apart from getting soaked due to a storm when almost home,washed the bike next day and now it starts ok after 2/3 kicks but everytime you twist the throttle it splutters and cuts out any ideas. Cheers Nick

I have a new problem now :/ When I twist the throttle quickly, fully (on low rev) the engine is "drowning" (or struggling, dont know how to describe, basicly loses power) instead of rev up immediately as it used too. If I twist the throttle slower everything is fine, no power loss. Is this the...

For those of you that have struggled assembling the throttle twist grip assembly you will know that inserting the little nylon guide can be quite a PITA. I tried Yens suggestion of removing it all together but didn't like the 'hacksawing' feeling of the cable grinding on the alloy housing...

:( Mmmm, pondering this one a bit as its doing my napper in so I thought I'd ask the assembled illuminatea for some advice... I recently fitted Oxford heated grips to my @. All is well with them now that they have had some glue applied :D , but looking at the RH, (throttle) grip, it does not...
