Thanks mate, bike needs a wash down anyway so reckon I'll wipe the excess rust preventer spray off with spirits and give a good clean then hit the road...

Cheers mate, So albeit... nothing to worry about? Will burn off on its own time, good to drive?

Started bike up first start after winter, fresh fuel and charged battery...started fine. Exhaust pipe caught my attention with some smoke, but before winter I applied a spray to keep it from rusting, sprayed in on exhaust, engine casing etc. can anyone put my mind to ease that this is normal and...

Hi guys, bike Been laid up but serviced and chain renewed, just got back from working offshore so going to take for a MOT! Seen these lights after a brief start up and small ride! The manual says it's 'abs brakes' and 'torque control'...manual says they will go off after a certain speed so plan...

That's a good shout! Didn't realise you could set humidity levels, why 55%?

Cheers mate, appreciate the input. I was a bit suspect lastnight when fitting but the chain rollers are smooth and turning and the whole chain looks exactly the same as the link. It's just the rivets I didn't think looked right. I'll take it to the MOT station that way I'll have a ride and see...

So I measured the link width on a few links and took an average for the joining link. The chain spec said to flare the rivet out half mm. I just turned half a turn took it off, checked and repeated. I was just expecting it to flare out a little bit didn't really. The rollers inside the...

Hi all, riveted my chain tonight for first time, simple enough and I used Vernier calipers aswell to get the links to same size (as accurate as I could). Happy with outcome but just expected a different outcome for the rivet heads for the link I adjusted...what's your thoughts? (See pics). No...
