my piston rings were bad so I am changing the gaskets and seals while I am in there. Question is, do I absolutely need a valve spring compressor to replace the valve seals? also, the cam chain sprockets do not exactly line up prefectly. Should I be worried about that? It was running great before it starte...

My 2003 bike starts fine and ticks over OK and it also pulls well when accellerating however at constant village speeds it feels like it may cut out and stutters a bit. When this happens if I open the throttle it will suddenly accelerate almost like an on/off switch, not smoothly at all. It can be lived wi...

Hi All, Am in the process of doing some work on the TTR belonging to my other half, one of the things I have done is put an airbox back on it as it had a K+N cone filter, which to my mind for trailriding is far from ideal!

Hello, As I've mentioned before I've got an after market head light, there is a bolt hole at the bottom but no bracket to bolt it too, would be okay for mot reason to cable tie to bottom yolk as security and use locking bolts to secure the head light to the bracket on the forks.
