normal

Hello there, Just purchased a '07 Tuono R and its absolutely gorgeous. The bike is mint and has no signs of damage anywhere not a mark or dint. Although with close inspection of the tank and tail section as shown in the pictures. There seems to be some imperfections in the paint such as...

As per my other thread I had the leaking overflow pipe problem which should have been an easy fix but due to me snapping a bolt in the tank from the fuel pump it turned into a bit of a nightmare. I decided the easiest solution would be a replacement tank and got looking on Ebay. The only tanks...

Hi folks. Well, this is my first four stroke as well as my first big twin, so I'm honestly not sure whether I'm right to be "aware" of this or not. When riding the Mille, in addition to the wonderful sound from the exhaust and airbox, I'm also getting a sort of mechanical chattering noise...

Excuse my ignorance, is it normal to find a small amount of oil in the airbox?

Heya. Sounds like my 03 has developed a knock, not very loud but clearly visible over the exhaust sound when its idling. And it only comes when its very hot (+90c on the temps) Sounds like its coming from the front cylinder, possibly top end. If i put my ear on the crash bung its VERY loud...

to the people with normal colour frames; was there a big difference when you fitted an ohlins on the rear, my standard shockie is ageing rapidly, af1 sell the rsvr ohlins rear for a good price, just thought i would get some of the boys opinion before i shell out cheers and beers

Hi everyone and Crash, I've had withdrawal symptoms! :) Best Rgds Mark

so i just realized this...not sure if this is normal, opinions? when i first turn on the bike and put the key in and turn it on, the RPM needle goes up to 6k, pauses then goes back down....when i start it, let it warm it up a bit, i rev it up, itll go past 6k still but the red light thingy...

On my way into work this morning was gining her some stick. doing about 110/120 ish (on a private road of course officer). with my head on the tank and throttle hard open the bike sounded like god gargling spitfires. my bike is a '53' RSVR Factory fully stock to my knowledge. I havent had it...

Since i've owned my bike when i turn on hi beam the bottom low beam light goes out so i just have the top two. I had assumed that one of the filaments in that bulb had gone. Anyway the bulb finally gave up completely a couple of days ago, and after chaging it today I'm still only getting the...

Hi all, my clutch is really heavy and I was wondering if this is normal for an 04 Factory? I have read a few posts from guys saying they have had to bleed their clutch fairly often. Could this be the case? Sorry, but I have stuff all mechanical knowledge. If it does need bleeding how do I go...

On my 04 factory , when i turn the ignition off there is a rapid clicking like a relay that lasts for about 4 seconds coming from the airbox / throttle body area. Is this normal?

relatively new here, got a 2001 mille r. sitting at about 20mph in second and it really don't like it, like its way to higher gear. Though it feels smooth in first at that speed it feels a bit much for riding down the high street. I'm also new to twins coming from a 955 triple. so I'm happy to...

This is my bike now. Mods are: Renegade Airbox Renegade 2-2 system Performance Chip Power Commander Genuine Haga Bellypan (to accomodate twin cans) Harris Rearsets Fabri screen R&G (both) Pete's Mille: Sealed Airbox MHP downpipes Arrow 2-2 cans 57mm Throttle Bodies Edwards Chip Power...
