Hi all you may remember some time ago that I had an issue with my cam chain jumping, well as I was moving house it did it again so I bit the bullet and tock the bike to my local bike shop. I managed to find a manual cam chain tentioner and gave it to them to fit . I dropped in yesterday and was told that they had a few...
Well it's been fun skating around on "the death wings". However that being said, 2000 miles on, I'm a little tired of having to dig myself out of muddy holes and predicaments. Despite this being summer, i managed to get myself stuck for a good 30 minutes at the weekend . Another broken indica...

Had a bad vib on the ride yesterday, the hugger had signs of the chain hitting it, picked up a new chain this morning & removed the old one only to find the chain slider badly worn on the underside. Front sprocket is worn but not a big deal, did a search & it looks like I can only find the OEM slider, ha...

Hi During the kielder Rally the engine fault light came on and the computer showed fault 17, servo problem. My bike has had all the exup/ais/air box mods done and has run well for 7000 miles without fault. Unfortunatley I did not carry out the mods. I cannot find the lead and plug that originally fitted...

He is looking forward to exploring his local area (San Miguel de Salinas in the southern Costa Blanca) on it and I am looking forward to visiting and going out on it myself once Matt h...
Hi all, I am looking at this wr250x. It has the black plastics of an X, and a black frame. It has the R front wheel, and maybe the rear wheel too- I know this is a common swap. However, I noticed the forks are silver like an R, and the fork guards are white like the R. So, it seems to be like rather than just swap th...

Using a cable oiler tool for a fiver off of flea bay, i did both the clutch and throttle cables easily and more effectively than i've ever m...
Here in Australia it can be a long way between fuel stations & wondering about larger fuel tanks, sounds like in some cases they fit one tank to another but I don't understand what goes !!! I used a 14.5lt Clarke tank on my XR400 & that was perfect, not too big but giving me a good range, I've seen 11...
