woes

Greetings all, I had a bit of an oops moment earlier this week, while trying to unlock the seat I managed to break the key in the seat lock, I tried various styles of tweezer to pick the bit out, no success. ebay put me onto sets of little hook like tools, £3.50, worth a gamble. Anyway, I...

Hi, I've just had my fork seals done and when I got the bike back from the shop it felt absolutely horrible! I set about adjusting the suspension (1st time I've done this) to the manual's recommended settings as a starting point. I changed the pre-load and rebound no problems at all (top of...

Hi All, After having my RSV cut out and die on the way to donnington, due to the battery not charging, I've been trying to diagnose the cause of the fault. I've followed the excellent guide here: www.motorcycleinfo.co.uk/resources/6795/assets/documents/Motorcycle_Elec_Fault_Finding_Chart.pdf...

Just to give you guys a heads up. I fitted a bubseywoo sidestand well over a year ago and thought it was the dogs bollox until now. I was over at the Northwest 200 when this happened. I was very lucky as the stand snapped as I was crouched down on the same side so the bike fell on to me and...
