Fork spring replacement

Is there an "idiots guide" to fork spring replacement on here?.........I had a quick look but couldn't find much. I have a set of USA made Race Tech springs (very similar to UK K-Tech I think) which I am hoping to fit today (in between Jerez races) as the weather is so sh**e :thumbdown: I ...

Yep, looking pretty cool...

Re: Radical difference in fuel consumption with exhausts

"I cannot think of any reason the bike should be +-1/3rd heavier on juice with aftermarket cans on? Anybody?"

Re: Radical difference in fuel consumption with exhausts

This is a confusing thread...........everything I have read or heard about regarding free-flow exhausts (compared with stock) is that they make the vehicle run leaner and therefore, if anything should be more fuel efficient. I've recently fitted a set of Fuel cans to mine but haven't taken her out f...

Quick question...

Silly question, but should that plastic "flap" thingy, attached to the fuel tap underneath the tank go forwards, over the rear cam cover of rearwards, towards the shock.........or should I just remove it?
