Hi folks. Does anyone know if this rubber insert is a standard part of the Raid chain guard? I'm guessing the 52t rear sprocket is the cause of the wear, but unsure if it's a sacrificial part. Cheers -- Edited by Smedders on Wednesday 15th of September 2021 01:58:38 PM

Morning gents, have acquired a oil leak from the generator cover just below the starter. Is this a straightforward job to replace the gasket, or will I need other parts, oil seals, etc, or special tools. If it's just a remove cover and replace I'll have a go at it. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I recently had my engine siezed (at the motorway). It is now partialy stripped and it is obvious that the Conrod big end is stucked to the crankshaft.

Hi folks, I have a bit of play in the rear suspension linkage. It looks like just 2 of the bushes. Measured at the rear axle to the mudguard it's about 4mm. I'm more than happy to replace the necessary parts, just wondering if I can expect zero movement once completed? Thanks in advance

I've just replaced the seals in my front forks on a TTR 250 Raid. When re-assembling, the instructions are to use 550mm of oil then adjust the level to 130mm from the top of the inner fork tube (fully compressed). However, it then took another 40mm of oil to reach this level - total 590mm. Is this because t...
