questions

Badger put a pic up of his bike after a 110mph spill, so hope fully he or someone here can tell me the answers to my next 2 questions: 1) Where does this bobbin mount onto as it seems to have taken more impact than the rear engine bolt type, and do you need to do any mods to the bodywork...

Bought an RSV Mille about 2 weeks ago. I'm really pleased with it but I have a few questions. Occasionally, when starting from cold, the bike turns over then stalls followed by a clunking sound (very technical description, I know). I've heard that this may caused by the starter motor relay and...

The following may work for the '02 - '05 Tuono, but not for the '06 - '08 models. Here's a fix by JodyH from the AF1 forum: Dave

Hi everyone, just thought i would say hi and let you know you have another new forum member. Only passed my test in March, bought a knackered ZX6R, then got a mint 98 ZX9R and was quite happy. Then my brother (Gasboy), had his 2001 Mille RSV up for sale, so I bought it (it sounds so good i just...

Hello guys! Sorry for my bad Russian-English :biggrin. Few days ago my friend said that he purchased RSV Mille ('98) in Japan (he's a sailor) and in three weeks it will be in Russia. I already have a Fireblade (919), but i don't ever ride an Italian bike, and don't ever ride a twin (RSV Mille...

How accurate is the Mille's speedo considered to be? I've come from Kawasaki who are infamous for inaccurate speedos. My Zed's clocks over read by nearly 10%. I assume the RSV's clocks are more accurate but it would be nice to have some idea for those tricky "Oh **** there's a camera van how...

Hi All Wondering if you can help me again:stupid After a long ride, when the oil is warm I slightly loose engine performance and engine breaking. Would this be the oil not retaining viscosity at high temps and getting a wee bit thin and maybe loosing a bit of compression (hence slightly less...

1) has anyone noticed that there is a major difference in having a steering damper or not? in particular in the twisties, is there a noticible difference? and any recommendations on brands? or will i do fine without it? 2) anyone with carbon fiber also have carbon fiber cans? which carbon...

I've been going though OEM and aftermarket solenoids regularly and I finally got the part number for the Yamaha one so I'm on my way to the Yamaha dealer to get one on order. Has anyone run one long enough to determine if there is an increase in longevity? I've heard guys say they turn over...
