So i gave myself the afternoon off today and thought ' i will go for a little spin ' . Riding down a country lane , i came up behind a big lorry , as im up behind him he pulled over a tad to give a car coming the other way some room ...... WALLOP .... a ******* great branch comes from the tree...

I need to keep off eBay it's taking all my money just bought an ohlins rear shock off a rsv4 factory

The indicators stopped working the other day ,as a kindly old lady told me just after she tried to drive over the top of me The flasher really seems to have fallen off :hehe So is it just a Normal relay ? Mike

I never imagined that the first job I did on my shiny new Mille would involve taking a drill to her, but when I went to take the tank off, this is what I found: I've never been so careful with a Black and Decker! I managed to get them both out with out damaging anything and they will be...

Just found out what clicking and draining my battery Its the fuse box with the positive lead from battery anyone heard of this fault i touch the fuse box clicking goes away with a little jiggle take my hand off it starts again Jamie

Riding along today , traffic not heavy but flowing so had been on a constant throttle for maybe 3-4 minutes. A gap appeared in the traffic so I just opened the throttle and BANG ! huge backfire through the throttle bodies and a cloud of smoke out from under the tank followed by bits of burning...

Hi guys, noticed over the last few days the clutch slave cylinder is leaking, firstly I assume the seal is at fault? and is it difficult to do? Many thanks. P.S. It's up for sale on Ebay and I'm after another Japanese bike asap.

What a lovely day today and im stuck in the office at work, check the forecast and rain for next 3 days!! Great we live up a dirt track which turns to mud in the rain so no weekend ride for me :(

mmmm it would be grand tae git oot on the aprilia but all just hae to make doo.

Hello all, fairly new to forum. As some of you might know my mille has been off the road for 2 years. Shocker I know. I got it up and running again after replacing battery, starter solenoid renewing a bit of the wireing. Starts up now first time everytime, but idles a bit rough. Not sure what...

Theres f**k all on ebay and has been for months, Been looking for another enduro bike, want to spend around a thou, but all it seems I can get for that is 1980's rust buckets. I've bought tons of cheap bikes under a grand, but this year is impossible, i've been offered a ZX7R but I dont fancy...

This is ANOTHER "bike not starting" thread.......... The bike's turning over but just not firing-up and I can only try a few times until the battery starts to die! It's on an Optimate when I'm not using the bike and that shows no probs. I've replaced the solenoid with an Aprilia 150, fitted...

After buying the bike and resigning myself to the fact that I will never have a rear brake I've only bloody got one:doug Brought a heat shield from the legend that is Griffer and bled the system (never bothered before as I knew it would go again) and it actually works:thumbup Done it a week ago...

Well Im feeling rather brave so have ordered some Maxxis Supermax tyres for the bike. http://www.maxxis.co.uk/catalog/tyredetail.aspx?p=345&pg=/catalog/tyresearch.aspx

I get the feeling my Mille is really trying to test my patience! Had to replace the sprag, managed to do it, put everything back together, started her up and she fired into life first time, the beautiful sound of my v-twin. Everything looked ok, so I put the rest of the plastics on and rolled...

1st time poster - long time reader. This place is a great resource. Following a blast back from the BSB @ Cadwell last year I've aquired the dreaded clutch woes........really surprised by how many bikes are affected by this problem - maybe Aprilia in conjunction with Brembo will issue an...
