Re: iv went all italian

The Pegasso uses the Yamaha 660cc single engine which is sweet. I've had both the XT660X and the XT660Z and loved them both.

Re: Michelin tyres

I recently changed the Michelin Pilot Road 4's I had on my V-Strom. I got 8k miles out of the font and over 7k out of the rear and they were still legal and gripped well. The most impressive tyre I have ever used for all conditions. The PR5's are even more impressive so far. The performance and mila...

Re: Anyone else run Fuel exhausts?

I have a Fuel exhaust on my V-Strom and only ever run it with the baffle in. It is allegedly road legal with the baffle in but I had to chuckle at the racket it made at the MOT station the other week but the tester didn't seam to mind it.

Re: what textiles

The latest RST textile kit looks pretty decent and the whole kit is now CE certified, not just the armour which can only be a good thing. If it's pissing down, windy or really cold I throw one of these ( https://www.arco.co.uk/products/1874000?s=1 ) over my jacket to keep the worst of the weather of...

Re: Oberon slave cylinder

I fitted an Oberon slave clutch cylinder to my 1100 Monster a couple of years ago. It does lighten up the clutch lever action but it isn't black magic. The clutch lever has to move further to have the same effect on the clutch at the other end. Therefore you have to adjust to the feel of the clutch ...

It is an issue with the base forum template.

It isn't just a Firefox issue as it appears using Chrome as well.
