    Clutch life

    Hey guys quick question my T is getting close to 30000 K and the clutch is starting to slip when going for a wheelie, is that the sort of life expectancy from the standard clutch. Main reason I ask is I did an oil change when I replaced my stator and couldn't get my normal oil and had to use...

    Average life of 03 Tuono engine

    I just bought an 03 Tuono 1000R from a certified dealership. So far I am in love with the bike. It has 36,000 miles on it but I have read that these engines are tanks and will run forever if well maintained. What are your experiences with average motor life tuono engines?

    No life out of the old girl

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I laid up my RSV over the winter and tried to start her up today. She's had the battery on an optimate (in the house as it won't reach to the garage), it's had a full tank of gas, it's on paddocks etc etc etc. I put the battery back in today...

    Lights, Battery life etc

    I have tried doing a search and couldnt find anything. Either my searches are worded wrong or im just pants lol. Does anyone know if there is a specific reason why there is no light on and off switch incorporated into the switch gear? Has anyone tried wiring one in, how difficult was it to do?

    Starting/battery life issues

    My '99 RSV is currently refusing to fire. I daresay a service is overdue, and I'll get round to it when the temperature rises above freezing. But what worries me is I only get two stabs at starting it before the battery is totally fooked and the bike won't turn over. The last time I had the...
