Is the polisport item a viable UPgrade or is it the SAMEgrade. I mean is it much brighter?? My friends have polisport lights on KTMs but there 100w, I noticed the polisport item is the same wattage as standard. Any other suggestions?? I have an Open Enduro BTW.

My rear gear lever appears to have developed a reasonable amount of play on it, side to side and now rests nearer to the engine than I would like for my foot to "find" the lever I've just had it apart and it seems loose in the mounting hole - any ideas on how to sort this/what bits I need to replace...

I recently bought a TTR that had starter gear problems and was kickstart only. It was only used off road so had no need for lights etc. The previous owner must have been quite knowledgeable about bike electrics because he managed to get a working TTR using only a very small part of the original loom as in t...

Hi all, basic questions time. I haven't got any rim locks, but guess they would be a good idea, I have a couple of rubber bungs- so: Do I just buy some locks and they are really straight forward to attach? Do I need a certain size (s) Can I really muff it up as I'm not sure really what I'm doing. Thanks as ever

Brian looking in the Q&A, i noticed that you have the wrong DP No. i.e. DP 411 should be DP211.
