If you have altered your gearing from standard then it is likely your speedo readings are now inaccurate. I changed to 13/48 sprockets and my speedo was reading 60mph compared to the "true" GPS reading of 50mph i.e well out! I have the 12oclockLabs SpeedoDRDs in stock so grabbed one and fit...

Can anyone tell me what width rim locks I need front and rear for my standard rims? The manual states rim width 1.6 front and 2.15 rear. Is that the size of rim lock I should buy?

Yet another question, I fitted a bashplate yesterday & now there is one hell of a racket, not sure it the engine noise is bouncing back up from the bashplate or it the vibs. I'm sure it's been done to death on previous post but any help how to shut it up would be great Terry

Anyone know where I can get some bike specific tank graphics for my 250r? The original ones are useless and have been jet washed off. Someone told me that's because of the strange plastic that Yamaha use. Any help please?

Hi guys Im new here so sorry it its a stupid question I have heard a lot about the Air box flapper mod. What is the feel about it is it worth doing?

This is a fantastic mod that i've been meaning to post up for some time now, just been so busy out riding in my free time to have a moment. It's cheap easy and a huge improvement imho.

I finally got round to remembering to photograph some of the recent new installations. I'd been out enjoying it all so much that i seemed to always forget .

Okay, so i've been agonising over whether or not i want or need one of these little beauties for about 9 months, and now i shout for your 2 cents .

Anyone tried an Eastern Beaver Circuit Solution such as the one below?

Off to the Pyrenees this summer to do a coast to coast route over the mountains.

Hi I'm considering getting a larger tank for my trip to the Pyrenees, has any one got one of the IMS 3 gallon tanks installed? What range does it give you before and after the reserve light comes on. Thanks

Hi All, The OE plastic case saver is rubbish and would not be of any use should the chain break or derail. Does anyone know where I can get a steel case saver in the uk?

I have read a few articles on how to lower the WRR using the adjustment at the bottom of the shock. The last guide (see below) suggest that you don't have to undo the lower shock mount. Is that because you can spin the shock body? Lowering the seat heightThe first mod I usually do is to lower the seat height...

Bought a Ricochet Bash Plate, excellent fit a 2 second job. Heavy gauge aluminium plate, has taken some big rocks without issue, hardly a mark on the thing Only ciricism is that it could go higher to protect the water pump hose, but will get some spiral guard to sort that. Money well spent in my view

I like these bars (used to be known as Dakar Highs) and have a new pair that I would like to fit but, before I do, does anyone know if the standard cables are long enough? Brian

I am looking for an easy win here so that I can get my GPS mounted and running on the WRR. Where is the simplest and closest point to the bars in the wiring to get a constant live feed please? Brian
