If you are finding the front end a bit vague try a bit more preload in the rear shock. You will get a bit more feedback from the front and it will turn slightly quicker. Good luck.

I managed to unseize mine by squirting WD40 around the top edge of the shock where there is a small gap. I also unscrewed the adjuster knob and squirted some in there too. I did the trick. Or you can replace the shocks. For about £550 you can get a pair of EMC Endurance shocks which will improve on ...

Won't start just clicks

My brother in law has an R1200C cruiser which has an intermittent problem. Sometimes it starts sometimes it clicks. He has had it on the Optimate and it supposedly has a healthy battery. It has only done about 11K. The ABS light stays on sometimes and his side lights blow fuses. He has taken the sta...

It's obviously faster than you think it is, whether or not youi will put enough miles on it in order to ride it properly is another thing. Stick with it for another twenty thou and you will be able to judge it properly.

It was a bit busy. Some good bargains on the leathers.They reckoned it was so hot nobody was trying them on. I was very tempted. I am sure we'll catch up some time soon. All the best.

Hi Bob, I live on the Wirral myself. Heading down to the Thundersprint in Northwich on Sunday, let me know if you are heading that way. If not then maybe a blast into Wales sometime. All the best Mac.

The same bulb went out on mine. I didn't get around to changing it and by the time I got back from Garmisch last year it had come back on again, result.

I signed the petition too. It was nice to see the tossers get a slap in the elections but I remember the Thatcher years and I don't want those tossers getting in either.

With regards to cleaning, if you leave crap all over it over a period of time it builds up and the bike will rot. I have seen some really tatty ones even in BMW dealers. If it gets dirty then bite the bullet and wash it. It's quicker to wash new crap off. Mine is a 1999 with 50 odd thou on the clock...

Things that look like meat. (Carnies in denial)

This is a little poem I wrote after looking at my wifes veggie options. Things that look like meat, They're not made from animals noses, lips or feet. They're made by food technologists with Phd's in freezing peas, Extruding Quorn in factories, Things that look like meat. With sausages they cheat. M...

You are right to consider a black one, they look really classy. You can always upgrade the shocks for E=MC Endurance for about £550. I've had my black one for four years now and I still think it looks tasty.
