    Ignition Coils/Wet riding

    So, a bit of detail first! Collectively (across 3 S10's) I have done over 260,000 miles. Most of this is in the pissing rain (UK). After all these years I STILL haven't got to the bottom of why my S10(s) cough and splutter AFTER I've done a ride in VERY heavy rain. It behaves as if it isn't...

    CST RideAmbro

    The latest tyres I'm on are (I think) currently the cheapest in the uk. I've done 6,000 miles on them now and they are wearing well. Still at least a few thousand miles left in them. Plenty of grip. Also did some high speed auto bahn riding with them. I think CST is now owned by Maxxis?? Check...

    Leg/feet protectors to keep the rain off

    Not the prettiest but these work pretty good. I quite often do 3hr+ rides in the pi**ing rain and these make a big difference to keeping my feet dry. They're made out of builders "rubble matt" which can be bought at B&Q. Fairly cheap and its easy to bend/cut/shape. This bike is my workhorse so I...

    Tech question (other bike)

    Hi folks. I've been trying to service the front brake caliper on a friends Beta trials bike. Removed the pistons to clean them up and now they dont seem to go back in fully.

    Hi Folks. Sorry this has probably been done before but a quick search didn't find anything. Can any of you recommend a good mini air compressor that can be carried on the bike. Smaller the better. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Throttle cable question

    Dear all. I need a new throttle cable for my 2011 S10.

Does anyone know if they...
