Maidstone Motoliner- Kent. Recommended!
As part of my front end refresh on the forks, calipers and brakes on my Tuono, I checked the runout on my Brembo discs. One was slightly out. The other was quite a bit out, and it had been noticeable when braking for a while. I had been riding round it. But as I was refreshing the whole front end I ...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I've taken the photos, Chris, I'm waiting until it's back on the road before I write up a "how-to" to make sure it all works as it should.

Re: Your future post ICE death.
I think we're heading towards an upscaled Scalextric solution, where the cars "drive" along charging/powering tracks on longer journeys, otherwise it makes no sense for anything except urban, local journeys to the out-of-town shopping malls. But it's interesting to see that some manufactur...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Last few days in and off I've been refreshing the fork oil and seals on the Tuono, which is electronic so was new to me. That's now done, but while I was there I wanted to check out a pulsing feeling I have been getting for a while when braking. It feels like a warped disc, so while I had the headst...

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad
Nick, did you mean you could connect two batteries in parallel? Two in series would give 24 volts... On a little 250 cafe racer I built years ago, I used two tiny 6v batteries in series to give 12 volts. I removed the electric start so didn't require the starting amperage., and it was easier to pack...

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad
Were the starter/lead new or overhauled when you installed them? The symptoms you describe sound like you would associate with the starter connection having corrosion or a poor connection! Or the fibre insulating washers or plastic insulating sleeve on the starter connection bolt missing/degraded. ...

Re: The RD400 drag bike
I'm booked for Saturday, Al, Tony if you want to stay over let me know. I'm about 25 miles from Elvington That's a kind offer, thanks. Wife is probably joining me, and the journey from Kent is only about two hours so I'll think about travel nearer the time and let you know. Anyone know what time si...

Re: Air filter
It's worth a try. What's the cost of the filter you found versus a complete replacement?
Also, is there any information about the particulate size it will filter out?

Re: Supersprox Stealth 42T rear sprocket
For what it's worth supersprox are always my choice of sprockets, for the Storm, SP2 and now I have one in my Aprilia.
They last well and are light.
You can get an anodised aluminium sprocket that's lighter but they don't last long.
Doesn't hurt that they look good, too.

Re: vtr project
Good spot. No mention of mileage, and too much damage to be put back on the road economically. Might make a reasonable track bike, though.
But not at the asking price.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Today I ordered the tools, oil and seals I need for the Ohlins fork rebuild on my Aprilia. Although they're semi-automatic electronic forks the rebuild looks to be the same as normal mechanical ones apart from unplugging the loom connector at the fork cap. They're not nitrogen-filled, so at least th...
