So while servicing the bike over the weekend noticed this little issue.... anybody know the cause and a remedy if encountered before please? The plug insert seems to have hot connected and melted the inside of one end of plug into the other..... Do I need to replace the regulator? The bike was...

So rescued this frame a few years ago from a friends garage scrap pile, not sure if RD or RZ.... it has lately just been in my way and it needs a new home, and hopefully mating with a decent motor and wheels! The frame appears straight but has a square tube welded to headstock, sounds like it...

My 990R has a home-made brace between the rear panniers that should actually be going over the number plate to each rack.... does anyone by an off chance have a bracket available.....? Dankie maats!

Sooooo, blasting down the highway in pouring rain this happened suddenly.... never seen this before, cracks plenty, but a shear, NEVER! So, after considering various options I finally bit the bullet and bought a new item at an eyewatering price from KTM, do not ask, I never want to see that...

So, I had a few extra made up for some lucky dogs following LouisXander's request for such an item after a comment posted on one of Noneking's threads.... A direct take-off from the dimensions from what you would typically buy overseas (I have a sample). This item more than halves the time it...

Been using these tanks weekly for a few years now on my daily commute and eventually thought to share some of the convenience of the range they supply. I have run up to 440km on the combined tanks which on a trip makes for a lot less hassle concerning range. I easily commute a full week (5...

So been doing some maint on the old girl over the weekend. Needed a new fuel filter kit so got the tank off to do the job.... takes longer to get all the bodywork and crash-bars off than to do the actual filter change! The glovebox quick release from Z Adventure is going to make this a breeze in...

Hi chaps, A while back I had the forks serviced. one was found leaking at the lower end of the fork where the axle is located. This was repaired and lasted a while but has started leaking again.... Is it possible to replace just the bottom axle locater on the fork (the portion the caliper...

Bought some stuff for the 990 recently, pending fitment! Thanks to Z Adventure in the UK and Braap Moto in PE for some great products. (y) I have an oil drain hose that I had made up at a local hydraulic shop fitted currently, but not happy with the fittings etc. and also not braided.

Looking to replace the Clutch push rod and seal as the seal started leaking, as luck would have it just after a major service! The bike has just on 57,000km so probably due either way.... Anybody done this and maybe share some tips? Not much info on the net but seems simple enough although the...

So time to delve into the pockets and buy another helmet...… share your thoughts on the following freely please to assist brothers in need of advice...? - What helmet do you wear currently? - Colour? - Why you bought that particular helmet? - Would you buy the helmet again in retrospect? -...

So after I did some work via TuneECU last week my headlight starting popping the fuse (had it out while working on the bike).... any ideas why this would now be an issue as I have done this before without the fuse blowing? Any help/pointers/suggestions most welcome as this is just...

Quads and the drivers/riders of these things generally get under my skin..... is it just me or why then do I dislike these things soooo much....:rolleyes: I will go as far as to drop out of a ride if quads are going to present! Do you ride/own one, or what is your feeling towards/experience of...

So in the last week I noticed when starting the idling hovers around 2500rpm but does not settle down to normal rpm unless I switch off and restart..... then this morning it sticks to 5000rpm no matter what! So had to saddle up the old XR650 to get to work this morning.... felt like a donkey...

So I fitted a new Michelin Anakee Wild 21" tyre and 4mm UHD tube as usual to the 990 prior to our Sani/Lesotho trip last weekend. The tyre shop did the usual fitment of the tube with one nut below the rim and one nut above the rim to secure the valve stem. I have seen this advocated on Youtube...

So, I have a trip coming up this weekend to Sani/Katse so did the honourable thing and fitted a new Anakee Wild yesterday to the 990 Adv front. There had been a slight weave in the bars under acceleration on the old tyre the last while but I put this down to wear and balance so did not bother...
