I've got Metzeler Roadtec 01's on my 5G, and T30 Evos on my VTR. The Roadtec's are a softer riding, more neutral feeling tyre, and have never lost...
I did not notice ANY change when I took the PAIR valve out, and unless your 5G has a different EFI system to my 99, I can't see why you should....
Medical is covered by a state-run scheme here, so I just carry third-party insurance so that in the event of causing damage to another vehicle, I...
I hit 53 this year. I deduct 30 years off that when I ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Many years ago on a club ride, a 50-ish guy ran wide on a 20mph corner and dropped his bike in gravel/dirt on the outside. We picked him up and he...
You do indeed need to use some gasket sealer on the half moons only. The flat sections don't need any added sealant. All this is in the service...

The flapper is vacuum activated, but the vacuum is turned on/off by an electrical solenoid. I suspect it is the solenoid that you are hearing,...
"I can scoot along a satisfying clip for me, which is the only person that matters." Very, very true. It is much better to be riding at a speed...

Personally I have no problem with my 5G, but my ST1100 was a real beast to get onto the stand UNTIL I replaced the back tyre and put on the...
The RT parts and what DMR sell are very similar. DMR will do a custom shim kit to suit you and your springs, you'll have to figure out what shims...
I listened to the video. That sounds more like the starter clutch screeching to me. If it only happens on startup, seems less likely to be the...
Depending on how old your discs are, they may have worn unevenly so that the new pads are not making full contact when you brake. If so, that will...
If it is a VF750 then there are only two coils and each pair of spark plugs fires together. If one of a pair works but the other doesn't, I'd...
I haven't listened to the clip Long (I'm meant to be working). Is the clutch pulled in when it whistles or is it out? I put an EBC kit in my 5G...
This post twanged my nationalistic nerve. New Zealand has ample resources of hydroelectric, geothermal, wind and tidal power, and our main thermal...
I have an LED voltage monitor permanently hooked to my VTR1000F's battery, has caused no issues even though the bike is an occasional weekend...
