The front header on my 990R is blowing at the front flange. This is rusted quite badly and I dont think it can be welded up. I have a new spare header from a 950 Adv. Do you guys know if this will fit. I have already blanked the sensors, so this will not be an issue. I see that the heat shield...

I am sure this has probably been discussed to death and before I get kakked out, yes I did try and search first. I have always just used the OEM hand guards on the three Adventures I have owned. These are now no longer available and I can't make my mind up on which ones to get. I am not a big...

So another Saffa mate and I had a few days off and decided to explore some of the green lanes that are part of the TET (Trans European Trail). We opted to centre our riding in the Devon and Dorset area as we wanted to be along the coast for our overnight camps. The weather was looking amazing...

I imagine many of you have heard of the Trans European Trail (TET) that is a network of off road routes throughout Europe. The TET in England starts at Dover and meanders South to North and ends in New Castle. In doing so, it was soon realised that an amazing area was left out which is the area...

Hi Chaps, So a while back I managed to fry my display with excess use of a jet wash. I got a good second unit off a bike that was rear ended and written off. the bike had only done 2915 miles. The display is said to be dealer tested and looks brand new. I installed it and plugged it in and...

Right..so without any doubt number one on my bucket list is to witness the whole Dakar experience. I have therefore set myself a goal to get my ass over that side within the next 2-3 years, hire a bike and follow the Dakar for about 10 days. I am sure that there are some of you that have done...

Help!! I am trying to repack the Akro cans on my 990 but I am really struggling to drill out the pop rivets for the end caps. I believe these are stainless steel and have bought some carbide HSS drill bits to drill them out. I have tried different speeds and various size bits but I just cant...

I commute just about every day to and from work here on the mud island. Its about a 55 mile return journey and 65% is Motorway riding (Free-way). This is starting to pile the miles onto the 990R so though it was time to get a little cheap commuter. After a lot of searching I decided that the...

Has anyone got the Bell MX 9 Adventure helmet. I am seriously thinking about getting one of these and was hoping for some feedback from anyone who has one.

I am looking to get a blasting cabinet to restore some parts. I have never done this before and I was wondering what all you fundi's are doing after bead blasting aluminium parts to prevent oxidation. I am referring to barrels, aluminium swing arms, brake caliper etc. I don't want a polished...

Saw this on UK LTM Forum today. Wont find many better examples than this https://www.ktmforum.co.uk/bikes-bits-sale/1219793-2006-honda-xr650r-highly-tweaked.html

Hey chaps, have any of you ever replaced the packing on the Akro E1 0419 cans. Is this a requirement and if so how often. My pipes are seemingly getting louder and I suspect its the packing that going. I regularly used to replace the packing on my MX bikes but don't know if the Akro requires...

My low beam headlight bulb failed this morning. I see in the manual that it is an H7 12v 55w lamp. Do any of you have suggestions as to which replacement lamp I should use or should I just get the OEM bulb?

Hopefully one of you clever okes cam help here. My bike was running perfectly yesterday. This morning as I want to head off to the office the bikes wont start. The motor turns but nothing. The oil light stays on and I get 2 messages pop up on my digital display. The first says soft 33 and the...

Hey Chaps, Just picked up  the above mentioned scoot. Slight knock coming from the motor which I suspect is either main bearings or big end. If I am right the way to check which one it causing the issue is: 1. Big end - remove head and check for up/down play on conrod 2. Main Bearings - Remove...
