The first time I saw one of those, I recognized it instantly as a
Japanese tribute to the...

I also have this noise when I pull the bike onto the centre stand and the wheel drops. I am going to pull the forks apart and check so if I find anything I...
Could just be a bad main ground. Find the ground point (on the frame, somewhere behind the battery as I recall). Take out the bolt and wires and scrape away...

Hi Shaun, last year, I decided to sell my Suzuki GSX 750 F in favour of a less expensive bike re. maintenance and spare parts costs. A car driver crashed into...
Seemed to me there was a lot of coke built up in the combustion chamber and on the piston crown, especially considering the mileage (~2000). Maybe because of...
Hi Horst, I don't remember if you joined the first tour on the Enfield meeting, but I remember someone behind me yelling "Der Berliner schmeißt mit Teilen" ...
Shaun, My honest opinion is that the Bullet probably is not the best choice for a first bike. That said it was my first bike, purchased for purely aesthetic...
I had the same problem withthe one screw-it was a bitch. I actually carefully drilled the head off, then removed the cover. Then I backed out the stud with...
