  1. Transalp
    I was told it was intermittent when I bought the bike, and had been checked out and nothing seen to be wrong. So, investigations were made, and I soon discovered it barely reached the contact point inside the gearbox. I’ll probably order a new one, maybe, and I didn’t want to leave the copper...
  2. XL
    Hey all! I purchased a 1976 XL 250 recently, and it came with two engines, neither of them complete. I've been working on the 1972 engine, as it is in better and more complete condition. It was missing some covers, such as the valve adjustment covers and the alternator cover. I'm currently...

  4. Dominator / FMX
    Good evening all, I'm having problems wondering whether the fmx sparkplug should be a short plug as each time I renew the plug it never seems to go in all the way, I clean threads and put plug in until I feel it stop hard and I can see the crush washer still isn't home, it's been like this since...

    I was reading a ridiculously long thread on a Harley forum all about front suspension (as one does) and much was said about setting sag, after installing bespoke springs...as far as I'm aware, my 94/5' 600 has the long fork springs installed, ie there are no spacers between the spring tops and...

    Hi guys I'm Marco from Belgium. I have an RD04 from 1990. It's a great bike, but has had some bad owners that didn't maintain it. :( I have replaced the rubber inlet seals, valve cover seals, fuel hoses, blablabla... =) Now i am left with one part: a screw, a tiny washer and something on...
  9. Africa Twin Technical Specs
    Putting casing back on after blasting + powder coating. Kept all bolts in position through a piece of cardboard. One of the 3 long bolts that holds the outside cover of the stater / pick-up cover on has a copper washer on it. I cannot remember putting it on the bolt, but must have done !! Does...
  10. Africa Twin
    I am curious. When I removed my center stand before the restoration, I didn't have these rubber o-rings. It seems my center stand has a little side-to-side play. I bought two from my ,ocal hardare store and they are smaller. They do fit the two sleeves/ pivots. Where do these o-rings go? I think...
  11. Africa Twin
    Hi whenever changing the neutral switch beside the sprocket ,whenever unscrewed and taken out does the oil flow out or can this be done mid trip if I needed to . The reason I ask is I think mine is beginning to act up and i have ordered one which should arrive tomorrow ,but I ,m away on...
  12. Africa Twin
    I have just picked up a new chain and sprocket kit for my 1992 RD04 Then discovered that I need a new tab washer, the splines on it are terminally shagged. I orderd one at the same time from M+P who waited five days before telling e that it is not listed as a part. Very helpful as I am spending...
  13. Africa Twin
    I have a new chain and sprockets to be fitted on their way. Coming home from work last night I could hear the chain rubbing on something. I had a look and hells teeth. or rather no teeth. the teeth on the tab washer have worn off, just tiny little stubs and the sprocket seemed to be just...
  14. Transalp
    Just wondering how long the retaining washer for the front sprocket should last? I had to replace mine quite soon after buying the bike because all the teeth had worn away allowing the front sprocket to slide along the spline and rub on the cover under deceleration. That was about 6,000 miles...
  15. Transalp
    I have a 2005 Transalp with 52k miles on the. Clock. The speedo drive stopped working yesterday and I thought it would be the plastic drive wheel that was worn as I have had to replace it previously. In fact I actually had one ready that had ordered a while ago expecting it to need replacing...
  16. Transalp
    Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a washer or spacer between to fork and the speedo drive assembly? I know there is one on the opposite side. But for some reason, when I do up the shaft on the wheel. The bolts holding the disk are rubbing on the caliper on the speedo drive side. Its...
  17. Dominator / FMX
    I am still having a problem getting my carb set up right. Jnr arrived today with a couple of plugs for me and I had charged the battery up. A couple of days ago I put a thinnner washer under the carb needle and screwed the idle jet screw so its only 1.5 turns out. I took the bike for spin and...
  18. Dominator / FMX
    When I bought my Dominator 3 1/2 yrs ago I bought it a new Gel battery. The battery sat on a shelf indoors while I built my project. Do you guys think I should get a new battery because this one seems to go flat very quick when I try to start my bike. It was reading 12.3v after trying and...

    In comparison to gold, this could be legal tender.https://www.dropbox.com/s/gnoufv43jsc1rq2/2015-12-12%2012.52.00.jpg?dl=0 It's more expensive, at £2.75 each.:mad: Honda are ridiculous for their prices for small items. They wanted £2.80 for one the tiny copper washer at the bottom of the front...
