Methinks there is a difference between the force exerted on the forks during 'normal' riding and when your talent runs out and you put...

IMO snake oil. Assuming the tubes are correctly torqued at the four points on the yokes then there would need to be a very large axial...

Not necessarily. It has been used in the past on four cylinder engines (Yamaha?) to spread the torque over a larger rev. range. However...

IMO not very well: Different inlet lengths. This may work if you had plenty of power and wanted maximum torque to peak at different...

The fastener keeps being referred to as a 'phillips head'. It isn't but is JIS. This has a different form and using a phillips or...

By polishing the metal you will reduce the surface area available to dissipate the heat so in theory the engine will run hotter. But...

Can we assume it is a 12v LED?

Also known as windage

That is correct for unlined cable but those that have a plastic lining do not need to be lubricated. This is the case if you use mineral...

I trust you will dyno the bike before the mod?

MM's track of the week...

Not necessarily. They also perform well when the majority of your journeys tend to be local. We have a range of 45 miles in the summer...

According to Phil Irving in Tuning for Speed, good results are obtained with a length of 90in. divided by the revs in thousands (the...

Even if that were the case I can't imagine how practical it would be. Stand at a fuel station and count how many vehicle pass through...

It would be better mounted under the s/a as this would lower the C of G. The only downside I can think of is that the electricery would...

I did manage to do a bore with a file once...talked about files for about an hour and 47 minutes by which time the piston had lost the...

Perhaps the Mancunian dampness has affected his thinking? But to answer th question, yes, of course you can but you will need to...

Perhaps, due to my excellent engineering skills (:unsure:) (+ my torque wrench and Plus Gas) or perhaps divine intervention, I've not...

If you choose this route use a LH drill for the pilot hole. As this turns anti clockwise it may well undo the screw as you drill. I...

How have you established what the weight distribution is?
