    Difficult to select 1st from neutral

    I have a peculiar thing on my 890. I am 2m tall and had to adjust the gear lever to the lowest setting to prevent ghost gears from 3rd upwards. Because of long legs, my foot does not lift the lever high enough, and it goes into a ghost gear. Terrible when using the quick shifter. I am sure...

    Honda CRF300L Final Drive Shaft & Sprocket issue

    The issue is not the ruler width, but the length. A 30cm ruler does not fit into the space where you have to measure the chain height.

    The CRF300L thread

    I fitted an Acerbis skid plate on my CRF300L. Really nice as it protects the frame, foot peg joints, sides of the engine like water pump and alternator case, and part of the rear suspension. I have stock...

    RIEBEEK EAST - Eastern Cape

    Ek was onverwags daardeur met 'n gehuurde bakkie en 'n CRF230 agterop. Ek was nie lus vir die teerpad van PE na Steynsburg toe nie. Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons het op die grasperk voor die kerk gaan parkeer en die kerkie gaan besigtig. Later is ons toe die Katberg pas oor na Tarkastad -...

    How to adjust a TPS

    Hi reinton Even though I have an EJK on the CRF300L to make it go better, I have no issues with the TPS on the Honda, so I am not going to scratch where it doesn't itch for now. Honda is a big manufacturer, so their fuel maps are pretty sorted as is. They are just hampered by Euro 4 and 5...

    How to adjust a TPS

    How to adjust a Throttle Position Sensor. I have to check the TPS on my SWM RS500R. I asked Cecil, one of the nicest, and most knowledgeable bike mechanics to help. Do it yourself he says: 1. Find the Throttle Position Sensor on the bike. 2. Mark it – make a scratch mark with a blade...

    Cruise Control Retrofit on VW T6.1 Transporter?

    Has anyone retrofitted cruise control to a T6.1 VW Transporter? Where did you get it from, and could it be coded to make it work? I have done so on a 2011 VW T5 and a 2016 VW T6 Kombi. I then ordered the cruise control kit (cruise control stalks and wiring) from Teesside VW in the UK, installed...
