Hi all, Started the bike up (2008 XL700VA) this morning and noticed that when I started up the ABS light started to flash (18 times or so) and then as soon as I started moving it turned off. I rode the bike twice yesterday for around 40kms and didn't notice anything like this so it seems to...

I have a 2010 XL700VA with just over 19,000 on the clock. I use it to commute and only do about 50 miles per week. For the past few weeks, from time to time, the engine will cut out when I turn sharply right so it is always at low speed. It restarts OK but it is embarrassing! Any ideas why this...

A quick note to say Hi. :hello2: My main hobby is classic VW camper Vans, which subsequently got me interested in Scooters from a similar era. The purchase of a barn (actually shed) find 1961 Lambretta Li150 found me needing to pass my bike test at the age of 37. Being almost 6'4" the XL125...

Can anybody give me a tip on how you can removed both wheels, and leave the bike in the garage? I have a paddock rear stand and I want to take both wheels, loose, for new tyres this winter. I have thought about sawn 4 x 4 timbers for the rear swingarm packing and using four 4 x 4 timbers to...

I just want to share some photos of the installation of the PDOiler on my XL700VA. The connector for the accessories harness was purchased from Jim (www.easternbeaver.com) while the PDOiler from Brian (www.pdoiler.co.uk). Dealing with both was an excellent experience, no issues at all...

I got chatting to a guy at The Silver Ball Cafe today after he saw me pull up on my XL700. He'd just sold his TA XL700 as he found it too tall and after being offered a bad Part-Ex price for it he chose to sell the top box separately. Its a 45Lt Honda top box and comes complete with mounting...

Hi there my biking chums. Anybody struggled getting their finger and thumb to undo the oil filler / dipstick on a TA700? Well I found an old cricket stump in the dark corner of the garage. Sawed a 6mm wide x 12mm deep slot in the end and proceeded to undo a very tight oil filler. Works a treat...

Hi, Rally hoping someone can help me here, I am concerned about the position of my rear brake pedal. I think it sits to high, as I have to point my foot up when wanting to use it, and get on it. Can the angle of the pedal be changed, or lowered and if so how? Any schematics, pictures...

I just checked the tyre tread depth on my XL700VA. The front is about 4.5mm (centre) and the rear is about 3.5mm. That's after 3100+ miles, all on the black stuff, one up. Does anyone know what tread depth the new trailwings would have come with? I know what the legal minimum is, but would be...
