This tells me nothing. Personal experience: Aprilia, Honda, KTM and then a distant 3rd correction 4th Bmw.

I tried the VHT paint once upon a time. It worked okay, and lasted 2 or 3 years. Not a bad result I guess compared to polishing the pipes constantly. Not sure I would bother with it again. Would imagine the only reasonable long term solution would be ceramic coating, or cerakote. No idea on the...

First helmet was a Shoei model with a peak (don't recall which). Didn't think about it until I moved from JHB to CPT. On the road to Saldanha with a howling cross-wind/head-wind/tail-wind (those omni-directional windy days) I was taking a beating until eventually mother nature took the problem...

Try cleaning up excess chainlube before it gets flung all over your wheel? and maybe something like a wax polish to stop anything sticking to the wheel

If you don't come right with the local stuff and are prepared to go with other brands, try Dominator out of Poland Used them for a previous bike. Excellent quality, excellent price and delivered within a week https://dominatorexhaust.com/en_GB/c/Yamaha/27

I had issues when I picked up my bike and tried adjusting things. The linkage rod was too long for me and my boots so I couldn't get under it to lift up gears. So I tried adjusting the splined link to compensate and then had a lot of trouble getting the shifting to work smoothly. Turns out the...

After having purchased Dominator from Poland with the whole experience having been an absolute breeze I cannot fathom the decision for an Akrapovic or similar. For a fifth of the premium price or less you get excellent fit and way above average finish (just not amazing).

GLWTS I had the 750, and I loved it. And still miss it.

when it comes to spares I have frequently just arranged it myself. As I understand it currently there are no official agents.

Interesting. It should at least be focused correctly so you won't worry about that. Try find some reviews on these lights online. I have found a few channels that review all sorts of automotive lights and do side by side comparisons under controlled conditions to show how the different lights...

Depends on the solution proposed. If it involves just replacing the bulb then results will range from much worse to much better. The reflector is specifically designed to have the light come from a given source. In the case if an incandescent bulb, it Is very small point of origin. LED bulb are...

Being a fanboy you can take mine for a test if you like

Currently no dealers (that I'm aware of). Bit of a problem for registering services and getting updates and so on. and my 10k service is almost due Piaggio customer service says they'll lets me know when a dealer is setup again Might wait for a while

Microsleep on a highway is too easy. Especially when there is not much going on. I have experienced it driving but never riding. Until one day I was heading towards Durban from Pretoria. A combination of bad Indian food the night before and no sleep. It all caught up to me outside Harrismith...

Anyone got a handle on a good radiator repair place? My bike is a demo model that has some radiator damage. I'm trying to get it replaced but I think it could be a long shot. So maybe just some straightening and repair is in order here. The radiator looks to have been damaged in a tip over...
