    Clutch grabbing....

    Not in any way an informed opinion….but I solved my grabby and dragging clutch (only when cold) by bleeding the clutch slave with new fluid, and swopped the metal discs around in the clutch pack.

    Scale model motorcycles.

    Must say, finding these models reminded me of the hours I spend building planes as a kid. Used to be absolutely ecstatic if I got taken to the shop for a new model. No iPads or Netflix back then. Should never have stopped

    Scale model motorcycles.

    Thought someone here would appreciate this. Found these kits for a few hundred bucks. Going to hold onto them until my son is a bit older. Oh I loved watching Rossi ride that bike in the day

    Oil contamination…smells like petrol

    Hoping to get some guidance here. After coming back from Baviaans in November the 990 has had an oil change, done maybe 300km total after just to check for leaks etc. So mostly just chilling on the trickle charger. I have now made a habit of checking the oil level after a ride…parked on the...

    Best GP liveries of all time

    New to darkside.

    Sounds too easy…I am sure I will find a way to screw it up😂 Hopefully all the seals are good as they would probably be a pain to find.
