someone I know with a new Thruxton was experiencing similar stalling problems. turns out the dealer had to take the head off an de-carbon the engine it as it was choked up with soot after just about 10,000 kilometers. seems it was over fueling and it had to be re-mapped

better late than never,,,,,,,,,, however, yesterday I received in the mail a KA33 key blank that's for a Kawasaki Ninja from threeriversvariety online ebay store some where in the USA for a few bucks including postage to my letter box here down under, then today had the key blank cut for $6 at...

yep, definitely has to be a 18mm thin walled socket. or do what I did and grind down the outside diameter

it will be the battery, as I understand the first couple of years of the EFI bikes had a slightly smaller battery than the previous carb'd bikes and due to staring problems Triumph manage to fit the larger battery into the later EFI model. As such the storage capacity of your battery is a lot...

I was looking at NH rear sets, but told the rubber on the pegs wear out real quick like the looks of the Sato rearsets, may investigate getting them

aha, that all makes sense. thanx for a good explanation

as my bike has an aux socket, so ran a temporary wire to a plug that's plugged into the socket and connected it to the tank horn. it hooted real well, nice and loud. I remember them being real loud years ago mounted to the tanks on the 24 volt circuit gave a few seconds each blast and wires to...

so the thing to do is use heavy wire from the battery to the horn switch then to the horn itself otherwise the wires will melt?

the horn off my bike has been a bit wonky since getting it a year ago, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt and often it sounds like a sick chicken being strangled having a rummage thru my junk I found an old horn off a tank I must have souvenired during my years in the army so am going...

this pertains to an '07 Bonneville so may be irrelevant to later years. a few weekends back I replaced the shitty plastic headlight globe with a Hella 1058 unit. these are the real deal, made of metal and glass and fit in the headlight bucket like a glove. but beware they are for riding on the...

I start mine every morning with the choke fully out and can open the throttle and rev the shit out of it with no worries till it warms up, then I push the choke all the way in after travelling a couple of miles/kilometers. something wrong with yours, but dont know what. maybe start with the idle...

there have been instances of the nut tearing off slightly from the K&N filter can during install and leaking. of course the nut is to aid removal, not for tightening it in place which should be done by hand

I think crimping is like that from the factory as my 2008 same. although I'm the second owner I bought it from an old dude who never rode it and had next to no mileage clocked on it so that part has never been touched

I'm interested in fixing my dull headlight, thanx for the tip

what do you prefer seeing you've had both. carbed or efi? oh yes, welcome to the forum

yes I was able too, followed the advice here, used the finest wet n dry and then used metal polishes and kept at it till I got a mirror finish. basically a lot of elbow grease. a pad on a dremel would have been easier

hey there I only have the one igntion key,anywhere that I can buy a key blank on line rather than going to the dealership? looking at keeping one at home and an emergency key hidden behind the side cover or any other spots you may suggest

I can vouch for the Arai Vector, very comfy for long trips. real leather inside and looks like it is hand stitched by artisans but use a black open face with dark sunnies when trying to look cool amongst the Harley crowd

thanx for the advice, looks like some work and a bit of elbow grease this weekend and a buffer on the end of a dremel

Hi all my first tech post I stupidly managed to scratch my pristine staintunes the other day and having trouble polishing it out the cans are highly polished and mirror like, but where I used wet n dry then polish to get rid of the scratch its now a matt finish and now looks worse than when the...

looks like I successfully registered, so here's my first post and introduction my ride is a 2007 Bonnie that I bought early this year from some old bloke who rarely rode it, so is like brand new. couple of mods like some sort of igniter tune from TTP? and staintunes exhaust. bike goes well and...
