    Replace ST with a Tracer 9 GT

    My ST is going next spring to be replaced by a Tracer 9 GT. The ST is just too big for a lightweight like me and I'm not getting any younger. I have dropped her three times during ownership and have been lucky enough to have someone help me get her up again. I wished there was a shaft drive mid...

    "Tyre Pressure Idiot"

    "Tyre Pressure Idiot" that is what I am, let me explain: Up until a recent revelation I have thought my bike's tendency to pull into corners was normal, however when my Range Rover warned of low tyre pressures and I booked it in to the Land Rover garage for a sensor check I suddenly thought I...

    Wiz Performance Flash

    Just a note to say how happy I am with the flash done by Wiz Performance in the UK. Sent the ECU off for programming to be returned within 3 days. £140 and worth every penny, it makes the bike behave much better. Wish I had had it done when I bought the bike brand new in 2016.

    Cruise Control Problem Solved

    Cruise Control would switch on but not "activate". I found the rear brake light was on permanently. I cured it by taking the rear brake switch apart and found a "corroded/broken spring inside, which meant the rear brake light stayed on when I used the rear brake. Replaced the spring and the...

    Engine heat

    After reading through, what I thought was twaddle, on a You Tube post about the side mounted radiator on an XT1200, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss it on this forum. IMHO the rad position is perfect, at a standstill all heat is blown away from the rider whereas my friend who owns a...

    Motorcyclists "are you kidding me?"

    I spend some time watching You Tube motorcycle crashes in the hope they will instil caution into my riding and I think they do to some extent. Lots of bikers in these videos say "are you kidding me?" when involved in a crash, most of which involve motorcycles hitting other vehicles. I notice in...
