Re: I'm Baaaaaaa-aack!

Hi I know this is a bit late and maybe you have sorted your fuel issue. It is a common issue with in tank pump issues that the fuel pipes leak in the tank when they get old. The pipes break down. Also a lot of people replace the pipes in there tanks with normal fuel line. They do not last. They swel...

Re: Another Rockster

I repainted my other bike tank myself straight black and am happy with it but it would be nice if I could get decals for the new bike. I did get a price for the original tank decals but by the time it got here it was about US $600.00. Not to keen on that. Getting them made locally seemed a problem. ...

The screen mount goes around the instruments. The back of the bike has not been touched. Some of you w...

Re: Hand grip replacement and rear shock bleeding.

Look's like I will be answering my own question about the pre-load. Talked to a hydraulics guy and he put me right. On the bleeding side of it there is nothing much to do. Screw the pre-load adjuster right out, then screw it back in again. If it screws in and out with no pressure (easy) then the pis...

Re: Flushing and bleeding the ABS system

Yes you are right. Once you know that you have to bleed two reservoirs not one it was easy. The funnel that I made up did the job. Not so easy to get those sort of beamer tools in NZ and I wanted to get the job done yesterday. Have been back on the bike for the first time in over two years. With the...

Re: Hand grip replacement and rear shock bleeding.
