Out of interest I swapped both wheels on my LT for the RS wheels and the net effect as already stated is that the front is effectively lowered by half an inch which causes the bike to want to turn in ...

Yet deionised water is also known as demineralised water, the process involving removal of mineral salts - and it's recommended for steam irons, air con and engine cooling systems??? And interesting t ...

Does anyone know is deionised water suitable for radiators in the same way as distilled? I know there's difference in processes that is not the question, the question is can deionised be used in plac ...

Forget about the tape unit. In the very near future, if not already, you aren't going to find any tapes to play in it anyway.

True, I went down the "Blaupunkt radio with SD card reader and AK ...

The other indicator is if you look at the outlets, the front one is far more accessible to undo a clip than the rear one, which is partly obstructed by the lower edge of the tank - so it makes sense t ...

OK, it's good to know that it is important, it would equally good to know which way round they connect. One fuel line is disconnected at the fuel rail, the other which disappears into the bowels of th ...

Just wondering if anyone knows if it matters which fuel pipe from the tank goes to which fuel rail? - I decided to change one of the fuel lines to the fuel rail but I've lost my diagram, I have a terr ...

By a stroke of luck, I have had a cruiser rear end lying in the garage for several years, so I`ve pulled it apart, counted the teeth, and discovered that the bevel drive is actually 33:13. That makes ...

Just going with radials will accomplish that.

Already got them, but have to run higher pressures. Brilliant in the Pyrenees and the Alps, but the Michelin Macs were better on the motorway, just a h ...

RS wheels? I think that's my next move. So many people have said what a difference it makes to this bike, it feels a lot more stable and planted....

I had a buzz around 3600 to 3900, beyond that it was as smooth as silk. Turned out one of the down pipes was practically detatched and blowing like a good'n. Replacement exhaust and now it reverts to ...

Always thought Michelin Macs were the best bias-ply tyres for standard wheels on this bike - got radials at the moment, a softer ride, great grip, but found I need to run them several psi up even for ...

Hi Adrian,

Tapped mine into the brake light switch wire - or you could take a feed from the Starter motor relay - but better to save that in case you need to fit a relay for later on, something li ...

That's the satnav, I don't have a cam. I customised a Ramball mount and yes it does move, but no more so than when mounted on the bars. Anywhere on the bike is going to be subject to some movement, un ...

Under the headlight?? Or fashion a mount to utilise blank switches next to the map light (K1100LT) ?

Load rating: 739#/335kg for the 160/60 ZR 18 rear
520#/236kg for the 120/70 ZR 17 front

10kg more than the standard rear and 7kg lighter on the front, should do the job.

I'm thinking about an RS rear when these tyres go - what's the load rating on the 160/60 tyre Duck?

I fitted the Avon Azaro 140/80ZR17 (69W) with the PR2 110/80ZR18, they work perfectly together, great grip and a softer ride than the Michelin Macs. The Avon tyre is specified as suitable for the K110 ...

I don't know if the Opimate III SP is available over there but it's a nice bit of kit, runs a diagnostic on the battery, there's a 2 hour desulphate cycle if needed, charges at around 0.6 Amps, suitab ...

Yeah the starter's doing the job thanks Rob - a post winter oil change at the weekend - 4500 miles since a major service in August so the time's right. A new battery might be in order, been flattened ...
