    Considering buying a G450X but...

    Hi all, I'm considering buying a G450X but it has issues, the most serious of which seems to be that in 3rd or fourth gear, if you open the throttle wide, the engine revs and the bike does not accelerate. From what I've read about the G450X this can be down to a worn torque limiter. This thread...

    Resurrecting an RS

    So, in May, there I was tootling down the M3 when there was a loud clattering. I thought one of my newly replaced front brake disks had come loose at 130 kph, so I didn't touch the brakes, using the engine to slow down, wondering when I might get thrown over the bars. Unfortunately the disks...

    Paralever seat base

    It's a long shot. Does anybody have a paralever seat base they would consider selling? I want to make a single seat for my bike but I don't want to destroy my dual seat. I'd rather get a second dual seat base and modify it. I have started making a paper mache mould so that I can create a base...

    There's a "Felt Ring" (BMW part number 32721231610) on the clutch cable within the clutch lever assembly. Should this be lubricated with a little oil? What's it for?

    Diode board woes

    About a week ago, I was riding home in the dark when I noticed my generator light glowing dimly. It was too dim to notice in normal daylight so I don't know how long it had been like that. I had had this problem before, and solved it by repairing the solder on two of the large diodes. At the...

    Is my tire written off?

    My metzler sahara rear tire was punctured by a 5 inch nail. As the tire deflated with the nail in it, the tip of the nail must have hit the rim, bending the nail, which then punctured the sidewall of the tire from inside, about 5mm above the rim. I put a worm type plug in the hole on the...
