    Would the real Motorcycle Mechanic please stand up ? ?

    Sportyone, I am not sure what your issue is but I guess many of us forum members discuss the subject rather then go for it. Also, I do think that no one is pushing the community to modify the bike one owns especially performance mods to the engine. I, for one, am a automotive engineer on...

    What is the best tire make and size combination ?

    Hi there , I bought Avon Roadrunners and they are nice yet also crap, as my bike starts wobbling above 110km/h in winding roads. So I have decided to replace those Avons (2000km on them only) as it is just to scary for me. As I want to go for size 140 instead the normal 130 I need advice...

    I have a problem

    B06Tang, you just confirmed my initial suspicion, but was not sure because everyone told me how great the AVONs are. I tried to remember when the wobbles on my bike but was not sure whether that could be the cause. But cannot change them now as they have just covered app. 2000 to 3000km. Thanks...

    I have a problem

    Guys, my T100 makes me wonder what is wrong with her. Reason being that she starts "swimming" when I ride through long bends on high speed > 140km/H and more. It is kind of a horizontal wobbling of bar which is a little difficult to control thus I am quite worried as I enjoy going through the...

    installing toga baffles

    I rode the bike with and with out the baffle - I prefer the sound without the baffles. Personally I do not feel a huge difference in the noise level when the baffles are not installed.

    installing toga baffles

    The smaller part goes first in, the bigger part should be aligned with the TOGAS so that pipe and baffles are ending at the same level. You need to drill a small whole in to the TOGAS as you are suppose to secure those with a small screw. I did this was happy for few weeks, removed them again...

    harder compond tire

    Dubai is very similar to Arizona - 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and straight big highways. So far I ride the Metzeler as equipped originally - they seem to be pretty ok ! Kappy

    Raask Pipes

    I have ordered for my T100 the 2" front pipes Raask in Sweden and they should be here by next week. So far I can only speak very positive about the whole experience with the guys up there in the North. Now I just cannot wait to hold them in my hands and start installing those big chrome -...

    Miles per tank? Town riders.

    I manage to get 170km until the reserve light goes on, I usually start then looking for a patrol station asap and in average I refill 13 - 14 liter ( covered app. 190km). The little fuel on-board my T100 is actually the only ( minor ) point I do not like too much - rest is just perfect> Kappy

    Bonneville SE or T100 tall riders

    Only T100 -- I am 6'3" and I am still trying to change the front pegs on mine to improve the riding position but have not found a solution yet ( if someone has an idea please feel free to advice). The SE seems overall shorter and as per my experience not as comfortable to ride when you are...

    Premium gas?

    I do it as Pepper - always the highest octane available at the pump, preferably 98. Here in Dubai fuel is so cheap that fuel consumption is no issue - honestly I have no glue what the costs per liter is at the moment. In average I believe I pay 3 $ for 15 liters ? But again, I am not...
