While accelerating between 2500 and 3500rpm my 1190 vibrates a LOT, bike has 8000km on, been told it's normal and I should just keep the rpm above 4000, but that's not practical during commuting. Chain is good, and everything else on the bike feels normal except for these vibs. My 990 is super...

Is it possible to raise the ride height of an 1190 S, I come from a raised 990 S and the 1190 feels very low. I'm 1.91m (6'4") tall.

My '08 990 ignition key switch is playing up, occasionally there is no power when switching on although a bit of jiggling gets it working again.  Quote for a new one is R1468 (no stock) but comes with a new key different to the tank and seat keys, so would it be worth trying to repair the switch?

Hi guys. Just bought an '07 990 and am loving it as expected. It's a standard model but has some time ago been converted to 'S' spec by swopping forks, shocks, swingarm, center stand, etc to raise the height. It has recently been fitted with progressive fork springs but the front feels very soft...

Hi all, my 2003 Dakar needs a new rear tyre so I've been looking at what's available and where to get one. I'm doing probably 90% on road. Size is 130/80-17. Mosskays, which used to be just down the road from me in Blairgowrie, Randburg has disappeared and Full Throttle in Cresta only has...
