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...

LED bulb is all fine and well, but usually it won't be focused correctly. So while technically brighter, the light you get will potentially range from terrible to fantastic. Rather get a reflector designed for a LED bulb so that at least it is focused correctly. You might get lucky with an LED...

Perhaps a long thin punch? Or something like that. Likely easiest will be removing the caliper so you can work on a bench? PS: and penetrating oil

I don't know if Eurobike plays with scooters at all but they are my ever reliable place to take my bike to. And they're close by in Newlands. 0798790999. They do reply to whatsapp, so worth an enquiry at least

I guess not to be confused with the Dominator brand from Poland, which is impeccable quality. And also relatively cheap

I recently had a bike serviced by Dux in Brackenfell. It was a minor service, but never-the-less I have nothing to complain about. And it was very reasonably priced. Look up Motoworx
