Simple solution is just to replace CCTs before 16,000 miles. Then you can buy the stock item and have peace of mind.

Since this interval matches with spark plug change, it will only take an extra 20 minutes to fit new CCT's. Thats all it took me and at £ 26 per CCT its cheap insurance.

Tomorrow has passed and, was I lucky ! After fitting the new CCT today the engine cranked over with no odd sounds, the compression test passed, and the engine ran perfectly when the plugs and tank was fitted. In fact it sounds better than ever. I cannot believe why there was no damage. So I strongly...

I found the inner race was about to fall out. Took out the seal and the balls fell out with loads of cage debris. This debris sc...

Come on you guys....... give some advice to this forum.

If you are studying to perfect your cornering, then you should also practice how to alter your line whilst you are already halfway into your turn. You will need to be able to tighten, or loosen the turn whilst your bike is leaned over, automatically and without hestitation. Anyone like to list the a...

Bought a monster cargo tail pack, lift off seat connect 4 loops of webbing around sub frame, replace seat leaving 4 loops sticking out, put on full tail pack and strap down tight with 4 straps. :D Does the webbing come with the cargo pack, or is it your own system? What did you use for "webbin...
