This week I've begun the preparations for the new riding season, the fluids etc that needed changing have been changed, and a pre-mot carried out, during this when turning the bars lock to lock the forks were making contact, only lightly, with the tank. My first thought was the tank has swelled...

Brake Spring A brake spring for gen one 4 pad brembo caliper. I just need one of the springs - item number 6 in the link. You can only buy a kit with 2 springs and 2 pins. These are like rocking horse poo. Nothing on ebay (non usa) and that link is the only place i can find one. With postage...

i'm trying to reset my fork preload spring on my 04 factory.. but faced a difficulty to turn the bolt as it's too tight either counterclockwise nor clockwise.. do i need to lift the frond end first before resetting? or its a sign of any problemo with the fork? TQ!

Can't take it anymore leaving my baby on a drip charge in the cold shed

Anybody fancy a Capo gathering? Probably best left until spring but no reason why we can't be thinking about it and see how many we pick up from this and the other forum along the way.

Hi, what weight spring is in the showa forks on a gen2? Looking at putting stiffer springs in. Or does anyone recommend what weight spring I would need, Im 14st (90kg) without kit and its for a track bike. Cheers Rich

Does any one know the rating of the rear spring for rsv 1000 2003 model sachs shocker, I need a stiffer spring , but dont know what to order .

Morning Groovers, Bit early I know but every Spring I start the season off with a weekend blast to Wales. Stay with my uncle near Abergavenny & from their we usually go for a 350 odd mile ride to Anglesey & back taking in some of the finest roads Wales has to offer through the Brecon Beacons...

Recently bought a Nitron Track shock for my Tuono but the spring that was fitted was ideally for someone weighing 16 stone! I'm only about 12.7 stone fully kitted, so I bought the correct spring for my weight. The spring is 180mm long, 80mm in diameter, has only done approx. 1500 miles and is...

Hi guys, I have spent a lot of time admiring a lot of your beautiful bikes over the last 18 months but my 10 year old son (pillion wriggle monster) has noticed most, if not all, have a yellow rear shock spring. Can anyone tell me why mine is white and what the differences are. Just one of those...

As above, im looking to replace my 02 Sachs spring with a better suited spring for my weight. By my crude calculations im looking for pt# 1091-36-105. Which should be 160mm length, 57mm dia. And 105 Nm. Cheers Dave

Anyone used a Progressive Rear Shock Spring ?, are they any good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180942540482?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 was thinking of putting it on my new to me sachs shock

Hi all, Just wondering wher I can get a larger rear spring for my 03 milie (Sachs) ??? I recently set up the sag etc and iv had to wind the existing spring right down :( I'm 6ft4 and not very light Lol

Hi i'm in the market for a replacement spring for my RSV1000R 2001. I believe the standard spring is 1091-31/95 (the numbers have worn off mine) And the spring I would want is a lighter one 1091-29/95 or so i have been told? So does anyone have one of these?

Hi guys, any idea how id remove a rear shock spring without causing myself serious injury? I want to get it off to be powedercoated as a bit of the paint has started flaking off. Im guessing let as much compression off with a c spenner but thats as far as ive got! Cheers in advance!

Bought some progressive Yacugar springs and oil from FTR. Taken a look at the workshop manual and it shows the correct tools to be used for gripping the inner fork parts and and holding the spring down with a washer tool. I have no doubt they are expensive, any one done this with out the...

Any body got a standard Ohlins spring kicking around that's taking up valuable space? The previous owner, for some reason, has fitted a softer but longer spring on my Ohlins unit. Cheers Martin

Went up to Achintraid over the weekend, chucked it down the whole way from Strontian. Came back yesterday.. Snow FFS !!! At least it got sunny by the time I hit the Fort. First bit of dry road in 200 miles of twisty bits and it was in Fort William! Some kind of weird stuff going on. Good run...
