It does take a delicate touch, but I haven't found it to be a problem on my Q. The first time I rode it on gravel (the end of the previous owner's driveway) I...

I'm putting together an emergency tire repair kit. What would be a good tire bead breaker to include in the kit? Suggestions appreciated. What items do you...
Hi Ramon, Here is what I carry. Everything fits in my tank bag (with plenty room to spare) except for the inner tubes. 3 tire irons. These get the job done,...
I try to run about 36 psi when on the asphalt riding solo. I'll bump it up to 38-39 psi when two-up. However, there are times when I'm not as diligent about...
Same here, never experienced a significant difference. The same goes for tyre brand /type; never any real difference in how quick the rear would lock. Other...
Just got back from a 3,000 km trip and the screen did its job well. I got the plastic/rubber edging from Godiva screens here in NZ (link below). I suspect it...
Can anyone tell me if the brass tail on the neutral switch, which is slightly curved at the end, should point up or down? It looks like it is an earth switch...
I roll my bike around a bit while the tire's flat. Makes it come off the bead easier. Aerostitch makes a plastic bead breaker thing that looks like a carpet...

Hi Lario, I used to carry the c-clamp around, too. But, like you, it got to be too much. Also, since I am in pretty good practice changing the tires myself...
Interesting question. I assume you mean the pinion shaft on the rear drive is loose? As you may know - the entire pinion shaft assembly can withdraw from the...
Ron - I agree on the tire pressure being a bit low, let us know how THAT works out. Wouldn't take long to check the adjustment of the swing arm as well - I...
Looking to swap out the fork springs and would like to get a wrench or socket for the cap nut - which appears to be the same as the swingarm nuts. Thanks to...

Make sure you put a block or jack under the sump Ron. I didn't first time to took the fork end caps out and things got a bit "saggy" at the front end. Alan NZ...
