    1090 Adv R Rear Break Master Cylinder

    Is it Brembo? If so, it's not KTM that won't sell the parts, it is brembo that won't supply them. I had a slave seal go on brembo brakes about a year ago on a Duc. You can only replace the whole caliper - seals not available separately. Apparently the result of a lawsuit in US where some chop...

    CBR 600 F2

    Does the chain run on the side of the motor? I was thinking it was a moerofa job like some of my older bikes where the chain ran between cylinders 2&3....which required motor disassembly to replace. holding thumbs that the new stuff sorts the rattling out for you.

    TRIGGER FINGER

    Funnily enough.......working with tools in the garage actually makes my swelling / pain etc improve to quite an extent.

    Dont lug your motor

    I've seen a few instances of bad fretting on gudgeon pins from singles - apparently caused by lugging. I think it would do the same on multi-cylinder motors, but is more concentrated on the singles.

    TRIGGER FINGER

    Hahah......you should see those two fingers on my right hand - the last joints are actually bent in the direction in which I cover the lever. Bad arthritis in those two fingers, and that was definitely the cause.

    I was assuming that the pic was taken in the US - now not too sure. There were / are one or two that race here at Killarney every now and then. They move!

    Is that white one with the green stripe a Cortina? If so, must be quite a rarity over there?

    Not all fuels (diesel) are created equal?

    Interesting. Wonder if the same applies to petrol, but just isn't as noticable?

    Not all fuels (diesel) are created equal?

    I've been putting this down to my imagination.......but now I do wonder. My diesel feels pap every now and then. Case in point - last tank was filled at Engen in Klawer, which is a pretty busy station on the N7 - wouldn't expect shenanigans there. Filled up again yesterday at local BP.......and...

    Boet - down here in skaapstad they impound the bike if it doesn't have a plate. Witnessed a beaut Aprillia RSV4 being thrown onto the back of a cop truck in hout bay at the beginning of the year. Not an isolated incident either.

    Help! Polo Vivo 'Overheating'

    I had / have a watercooled 2t motor. Pipes connecting rad from front to motor in the rear were mild steel. Rusted very badly inside. Also had overheating issues. When silverton checked the rad, it was about 80% blocked with rust. In the end they removed both tanks and rodded the core (still had...

    Braai wood transport on bike?

    Ja- that's what I was about to suggest. Often the wood that you can get along the way simply turns to ash - no braai coals. Especially in the karroo / cederberg / west coast. Not many trees around there.
