hello chaps, just wanted to give you a heads up, one of my customers has setup a CNC shop he does bespoke items like jack up kit, rear set ajustable plates and so on, he can also do engraving on the parts you want!! ill have more details tomoz when he drops off some details!!

Now for the sorting of the thing. First thing: Rev counter does not work. If I buy a new dash, what is involved in mating it up to my bike? What are the codes for? The dash currently tells me to remember to set the codes, not sure what that means. The manual is not clear on this. Are these...

It works fine, no slip or loss of fluid, its just sometimes when I change gear the lever pulls to the bar like there is nothing there at all, it'll change ok and then next change all is fine again. Happens now and again and not same gear every time, just worried it might be the start of...

First ride for a while, so had a nice bimble around the dales: Stopped for a breather at Grimwith Rez: Admired the view near Hebden: Notice a large gathering at a pub near Skipton: Lots of old beastie cars: And this minter: Only stayed "local"..... but fantastic to...

I recall getting gas on one of my motorcycle trips, and as I'm fueling up in my full leathers, I heard the cager next to me comment about how ridiculous my gear looks and I must be stupid for wearing it in 100+ degree weather. I wanted to respond "well please stop trying to kill me on the...

I have had my Tuono for matter of few weeks when I bough it private didnt spot anything wrong with it .Took it for test today and it failed on lock stop being smashed off !! Then found filler in side of the radiator,and neat little alloy plate covering the dent in the frame where the rear brake...

Ok I was checking out my clutch lever action earlier and discovered this two wires hanging loose, appears to have some sorta plug/switch type thing at the end? Where does it go or is it meant to be there? Slightly concerned"¦"¦..sorry for all the questions lately but this is my first Italian...

It's nice dont me wrong, but again it's back to a bloody racer that I said I was finished with :roll, to me, it really is just like my old R1 apart from not as much power and (imo) harder seat. And I got rid of it because of the low bars/position and to much town/traffic riding, I was tempted to...

Been out and about and done a couple of hundred miles on the old Tuono today, generally having a blast riding up to Rivington Barn and back but a couple of niggles are starting to bug me. The rear brake, where is it on a Tuono?, all I seem to have is a switch for adjusting the brightness of...

VERY little yellow about. Probably because they didn't sell many! Anyways, its what I'm after. Anyone got any or seen any? MUST be tidy. Thank you!

Purchased off Tash on ere, its black, no cracks of scuffs. Looks good, ill get a picture up £20 (What I paid a few month ago) plus a fiver post?

04 Model...... It looks like a little plastic box 4cm x4 cm x3cm with a metal base. it is attached to the battery retaining plate and sounds like it has a loose screw rattling inside. It has 'upside' on the rubber mounting. What is it for?? Thanks........

just put the forks back on, they seem okay but it was raining so difficult to tell if the leak is still present. Whilst the bike was sitting it seems to have developed a leaky clutch slave! If i buy an mpl do they do spares for them? Or am i better off just getting a new seal? I know the mpl...

Hi guys. Well thanks to redratbike i've got my rear seat unit annd brooky for the front nose cone. Just one last problem to get over redratbike's rear seat unit is for a 2003 and my cowl does not fit. Does anyone have an old one knocking about. not after a highly polished scratch free 100's...

Hi all, I realise this is a common thread but struggling to find my set of circumstances with a search. I have an 04 model in the new shape. I tried to start it after a few days in the shed. Did not have it on an optimate at that time but had been riding it regularly before hand. Had even...
