I moved on to some other things while the back wheel was off- like figuring out how to mount the Duke I hugger and cleaning and greasing my rotary eccentrics,...
I have a HID Head light kit for sale. I sold my Duke II last year and bought a 950SM. I kept the HID Headlight Kit just in case it would fit the 950. Now...
Just an FYI in case anyone out there is looking for axle sliders for their D2. I had SuperMoto Engineering custom build front and rears for my bike. I just got...
Hello rowdy duke lovers, I have a 2002 Duke 2 and it's been a blast, always making me laugh outloud in my helmet. However recently it has given me my first...
Check the electrical connector plugs behind the headlight, the contacts inside them are brass and they break easy due to vibration. This happened to me a...
Sounds like a regulator/rectifier on the way out to me.....happened on my old ER5 and when it went it took out loads of other electrical bits. New one is about...
... There was on some bikes, but I suspect that was a mfr. flaw with a batch. Later Dukes still mostly have hollow axles, eg my own 2003. Tony Sleep...

Nice job, Tony! If I had to do it again, I would use the same technique as you did on the endcap, and just take the perf tube to a muffler shop and have them...
... I'd rather not do it again. Ever :-) ... Yes, there are probably many different ways to skin this cat. I wanted to keep it simple, within the scope of a...

What I really liked exhaust-wise is what I used to have on my Yamaha 500 roadracer- I had the larger diameter high pipe (the stocker really choked it up) and...
... You evil man:) I think the loudest single I've ever heard was a classic racing AJS 3r, with an open mega. Vicious. ... I don't want to sell the cans, but I...

Yes! OLD and evil- but good enough to have won WERA singles national #1 at the age of 37 and my first year of roadracing. One of the most fun things I've ever...
Both my '00 D2 with 6000 miles, and my 01' D2 with 16,000 miles have hollow axles. I bought both bikes from the original owners, who I know and stay in contact...
Hello, I just fell upon a 97' Duke 1. My passion for the bike is growing by the minute. What a blast to ride! Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone out there...
You can have either the side stand or the main stand, but not both. I believe that it should be the one that fits the LC4 Adventure, but it's best to check as...
I just had my fork and shock rebuilt and revalved by www.aftershocks-suspension.com. The first 100 mile impression is that it's amazing - completely different...
While washing my Duke today I noticed my sprocket is loose rotational wise. As if the rubber cush pads are worn. I just bought the bike used with 2700 miles....
Hi all, I have recently purchased a Duke 2 on an 03 plate. It's the high flow LC4 engine and its my first big single (apart from an RM 250). Im just getting ...
... Yep, they basically come in Enduro, SM & Duke sizes, I've got a Duke one to put on my Duke. My supermoto converted Supercomp still has an enduro...
I just replaced my rear tireat about the same mileage, and my rubber cushions looked brand new. My rear sprocket, however, is on its way out. Better pull that...
I seem to remember they recalled the hollow axle because of problems with people not following tork specs and streching it to the point it cracked I got the...
