    Stumbling at part throttle/low rpms

    Two months ago my ‘04 Thruxton developed a stumbling when pulling away from a stop. After a few weeks of this, it began stumbling at part throttle low RPMs, when low speed cruising. When I open up the throttle to higher RPMs, it would stop stumbling. It idles fine and revs fine in neutral. I...

    Powder Coating Question

    In a few weeks, I'll be black powder coating my Thruxton rims and hubs. I was wondering if the center of the brake rotors can be powder coated (the gray colored center of the rotor in the attached pic)? Would the high heat of the oven damage the integrity of the rotor?
