If have a Kuoba lowering link on mine and would like to put the stock link back on and give it a try. I noticed that the stock link the previous owner took off had the set off needle bearings in it. I assume the the kuoba link had it's own set of bearings when he bought it? The bearings in the stock link loo...

Had a miss-fire problem since I had the bike, thought I had cured it with a new plug and cleaning the plug seating on the head but it's come back again. I was wondering if it could be a faulty coil or plug cap - or anything else?. I can't see it being a carb problem - that's been cleaned out a few times. It mainly...

I recently had the seat recovered and when I look at the underside it is obvious there were once a couple of rubber (or similar) pads on the underside and there is a 6mm thread for attaching same.

I decided it was time for an oil and filter change, however it seems that last time I topped up the oil I must have over tightened the filler cap, as today I could not get it off.........

Hi, is there a particular type of grease that should be used to lubricate the wheel spindles ( are they called this, the shafts that come out to take the wheels off )?

Time for me to ask the dumb question, I brought a FMF Q4 silencer (not sure why now) it was a bit noisy but I fitted a piece of perforated stainless pipe with a blanked off end inside the back of the silencer and it works fine but I suspect I need to change the carb settings (although the bike runs ok). Any ide...

After my first ever day out trail riding I was coming back along the main road and the bike all of a sudden lost power like it does when you run out of fuel.
