Exactly the same experience,not surprising since we live in the same neck of the woods. Without making any criticism of the YSS product, the local backup was not great when I was buying, there was no service backup, springs were a generic one size fits all & not tailored to my weight & any...

Glad to help, I got 4500km out of the B'stones, 5500 out of Anakees but there was a lot of unsealed roads along the way. Pirellis were almost 10000, Avons a little more again & currently a lot of my riding is done in the company of my wife who rides at nana pace. I'd rate the Pirellis...

Apologies , double post

G'day mate, since we are from the same neck of the woods my opinions may be of some relevance. I ride with a group of mates whose bikes range from cruisers through the likes of Tigers old & new, Beemers including an R12RS, Hornets , ST 1300, Dukes,Bonnies, pretty much everything but full on...

I had my rims replaced under warranty but they were way worse than that & it was a battle to get Triumph to agree. I suggest you wire brush then treat with a water based rust converter, then apply something like LPS 3 Premier Rust Inhibitor or CRC Natural Lanocote. Both products remain...

When you change tyres lift the rubber covering the spoke nipples , that is where the real rust starts. If rust is there & you are not covered by warranty, start treating the problem sooner rather than later

Bloody good feedback Aussie. I run Distanzia's & they are excellent, have a set of eo7's for the rough stuff but would have to say they do not inspire confidence on wet tarseal, guess thats not such a problem in Q'ld. Best dirt set up seems to be TKC front & eo9 rear, & take it gently on wet...

It's my dirty girl, modded to make it more practical.

Different day , Different dirt

Sorry mate , there are no more. The last 200km were in pouring rain on tarseal so the worst of the mud was washed off, it only stopped raining when I got into AK ,hence the wet ground in the photo. I'll try to work out how to put a link to the Advrider ride report tonight, but it was so wet &...

Packed with more than enough gear for 4 days away. Ventura pack & water proof gear bag. Like Guy I ride a lot with a 990 Adv . I can keep up until he really ups the pace & it starts to get stupidly fast. This photo was taken at the end of a trip that involved a lot of dirt roads & 2 days of...

You will love it on tight twisty roads once you have made the mods outlined to the bike & you have to modify your riding to minimise braking & carry more corner speed, it is very likely that after a while you find yourself riding the straight bits slower than you used to but are quicker through...

I'll let you know when I win it :cheer::cheer:

I'm running 40 springs at around 2 turns, 7.5wt oil at standard height. Originally ran 20wt & the front was jarring & way too stiff. We need to get them side by side & compare .

Changing your own tyres is no biggy, but some are way stiffer than others in the side wall which can make them a bitch to get on & off . My Pirellis were balanced so I marked the valve postion so when refitted they were still in balance. There is a good tyre changing thread in advrider Fitted...

U 2 huh. From a slightly less eloquent Kiwi
