  1. Mild Head Shake On Deceleration Only 24 Jan 2015 09:44 To be honest if it was me I'd get both wheels rebalanced and see if the wobble is still there. Do you use puncture safe as this can cause a balanced wheel to be slightly unbalanced if the incorrect amount has been put…
  2. Mild Head Shake On Deceleration Only 24 Jan 2015 09:39 Have you checked your tyre pressures? Have you had a new tyre recently? Could be unbalanced. Maybe at worst it is the steering head bearings, more likely tyre pressures, unbalanced wheel

  6. What's Wrong With Redslut? 18 Oct 2014 16:59 Looks a little like a photo taken using a mirror?
  7. Advanced Rider Training, Why Don't You Take It? 15 Oct 2014 17:23 I havent done any advanced riding because I'm not interested in doing it. If I was to go on a track or off road then yes I would do the training. I dont want to do it on the road because I am happy and feel safe with…
  8. Rear Hub Removal 9 Oct 2014 19:39 Yep, i also torqued it upto 205nms. I dug out an old flat headed screwdriver and a hammer to stake it..I don't think that nut will be moving for a while

  15. Rear Hub Removal 5 Oct 2014 16:48 As promised, some pictures! I decided it was time to strip down the rear drive and to give it a good clean, the first time I tried to do this it didn't go to plan. I would either lift the back end off the ground or turn…

  18. Wettest Ride Of My Life 3 Oct 2014 20:56 The most I became wet on a bike was on my way home from work at night. It had been raining none stop for a week or so. I came over the bridge on my little scooter but didn't see the road was flooded, I hit the flood at…
