    Lowering the fork legs in the triple clamp; how deep can I go?

    When I had my forks tuned the new position was protruding 5mm from the yoke instead of being flush as standard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Change Complication

    Oil filter is the most important part of the engine. OEM for me and torqued to spec. Too risky not to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for a power pack car jumper starter like NOCO GB40 to carry in top box

    My plan is to use the optimate croc clips that plug into the Sae socket then clip them to the Xp3 clips. Not sure if the optimate battery harness is up to the ampage that would be required though. I bet someone who knows about those wiggly amp things would be able to work it out? Sent from my...

    Looking for a power pack car jumper starter like NOCO GB40 to carry in top box

    I use the antigravity xp3 too. I’ve not had to use it yet but I’m hoping if I do I can use the Optimate tail that’s already connected to the battery. However, I’m not that confident that the Optimate charging cable would handle the sort of current required for starting so my plan B would be to...

    Spokes

    Haven’t tried them yet but Motolegends sell “Luster laces” which sound like they will work well and get good reviews.£19 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Yep, the arrow pipes don’t have cats so they run cooler than the OEM which does have them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Luggage choice : Bummot, Metal Mule, Touratec, Holan

    I saw a YouTube video where Metal Mule boxes were tested with various types of firearms to see if they were in fact bullet proof. From memory I think they managed to withstand .22 and were then submerged in water and remained watertight. Not sure what the purpose of the test was but if I ever...

    Any issues re-flashing newer S10's?

    I’m interested to learn what map changes were made to the S map as opposed to the T map. I assume that the S map is tuned for more power and torque and smoother throttle response but what is the T map tuned for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifting the ST from their belly

    I’m currently investigating if the Skylift swingarm kit can be used on the ST footed mounts like my Zx14r can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Harley Pan Am taking it on the chin

    I’ve had several Harleys and I get what they are about. But they should stick to the only thing they do well: producing good looking cruisers that don’t try to compete with anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All-road training

    My off road trainer went to great lengths to explain that with an ABS system making several thousand interventions per second it can do a much better job than most humans. One of our first tasks was to deliberately activate it on wet grass to see how effective it is. I certainly wouldn’t want to...

    Luggage choice : Bummot, Metal Mule, Touratec, Holan

    I use Metal Mule top box and pannier racks with Mosko Moto soft pannier bags. The Metal mule kit is indeed incredibly robust and well made. I can’t remember the actual spec but I know the racks are made of tubing that has thicker side walls than usual Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    U.K. ECU flash & dynograph

    +1 for Chris at CJS. He flashed both my Zx14r and my S10 and in both cases it improved them amazingly. He got 214bhp from my Zx14r and 103bhp from my s10. The the BHP figure is only half the story. When properly mapped on the Dyno both bikes are much easier and smoother to ride at normal speeds...

    Lithium-Ion batteries, EVs, and myth busting

    I’ve only driven one ev and I loved it. But couldn’t afford it. It was fast, quiet and a pleasure to drive. I would have one in a heartbeat if I could afford one. Many models are now capable of driving the length of the UK on just one recharge and the number of charging stations is getting...
