    Headlights

    Had a headlight bulb blow on me last week in France, 7.5A micro fuse under the seat blew too. Fortunately my son brought some fuses with him - didn't know about the warning switched off in the menu, must change that. Thanks Alex

    Upshift issue

    As Alex says earlier. Easy stuff to check first. Is your clutch lever an aftermarket item? If so, has it been fitted properly? There is a microswitch behind the clutch lever, any tiny, tiny pressure on this and the shift assist won't work (especially in high gears when you are going fast - wind...

    Anyone know how to stiffen up the Gen 3 rear preload?

    Tyre pressures both checked as okay? Road or Track riding? You should only change the preload to set the suspension 'sag' for your weight, have you already set the sag for your weight? If yes, then use the DDC settings on the dashboard to change the compression and rebound for the rear - check...

    Austin MotoGP

    You did really well with those pictures! Hope you had a great time? For me the Moto2 and Moto3 races were brilliant, I liked the MotoGP race and really enjoyed the Sprint. So my son came up with an interesting opinion about Rins on the Honda. Rins rode it really loose and slid the rear tyre...

    Weld a plastic bin?

    I just plastic welded an old recyclable tall waste bin. Weld it on both sides of the crack, inside and out. Mine held and we use it hooked up to a rain water drain for about 200L of rain water which we'll use on the garden, mine was as cracked as yours. Just take your time and use a good hot...

    Motorrad Charger

    As mentioned by Scooby above, all battery chargers will drop the rate at which they charge a battery for the last 20% or so of State of Charge (SoC). The internal battery resistance increases dramatically as it gets close to 80% SoC and so good battery charger management systems will reduce the...

    Austin MotoGP

    I did the COTA MotoGP in 2018, I went with a buddy of mine who lived in Houston and so I flew there and we used his car to get to the circuit. It wasn't too bad getting in and out the circuit (maybe 20mins both getting in and out) and the parking was up behind turn 1. Its a good circuit and if...

    Tyres Tyres Tyres

    S22's made a big difference for me over M7RR, couldn't get any heat into the M7RR's during the colder months, not so with the S22's. However I've never used Pirelli Corsa's but I'm lead to believe they are very good and sticky by others on here

    80 odd miles through the Peak District

    Are you sure that is close to Holmfirth? That cloud base seems awfully high...... As said earlier, lovely photo, well done on getting out and enjoying that terrific view.

    Preload, Sag and EAS DDC Sport setup 2018 - an easier How to guide for us beginners

    I used the standard springs which came with the bike from new, I haven't replaced them. I didn't record the exact sag settings on my bike whilst sitting on it at the time, only that I had set the preload front and rear to get in the seated sag range specified in the owners manual which came...

    Preload, Sag and EAS DDC Sport setup 2018 - an easier How to guide for us beginners

    YouTube ?how to measure and set sag?. Get a friend to help you with a tape measure. It?s not difficult, just that you have to take your time, you make a change to the preload and measure the effect both front and back to set the sag to your weight, only then should you change the DDC settings...

    Sat Nav

    I was a volunteer blood biker riding at night through London and Surrey. I looked up my destination using What3Words on my phone, used either Apple/Waze or Google Maps to direct me to my destination end point and connected my phone to my Bluetooth headset. It was a little like listening to a...

    Short vs Long Exhausts

    Perhaps you might consider ringing them up to discuss their perspective? Is it because it will need an ECU mod (Power Commander or such like) and a dyno tune? Can they offer any advice to you? Do they have a solution or suggestion? Advice is usually FREE, it is the 'How' which costs money.

    Proper looking workspace Stu, with some proper job tools too. Well done! Very envious.

    Irish racing is toast

    My commiserations to you and all Irish and Ulster folks. Surely there is enough groundswell within the populations there to push back, pay the council taxes into a legal stronghold fund instead or some form of protest at the Insurance companies HQ's or taking it even to Lloyds of London to get...

    Hello!

    Welcome Stu, I saw a 2022 S1000RR in black in the dealer showroom in Alton yesterday. I did a double take and gave it a good look over. OMG it looked gorgeous! The colour hid those bi-plane wings very nicely when compared with M Sport coloured one next to it. What colour is yours? I confess...

    Worst biking moments

    I wanted to get this off my chest as I was traumatised by it..... I met a good friend of mine at a Triumph dealership nearby, we arranged to meet there as his Scrambler was being serviced and we were going out for a ride afterwards for a spot of lunch together. I was on my Ducati Scrambler...
