Two articles on running in here and here. I'll let you decide...:umm:

Engines have survived without the coating for many years; it seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Didn't realise that 'slow oil' was a problem...:)

Even if the dent could be removed then you are likely to still need to have it painted. There are plenty of tanks on ebay - IMO that's...

Hydrostatic testing normally fills all of the space with fluid before pressurising and assuming the dent is the weakest part of the...

Yep, that should contribute to a bigger bang. 😲

Alternatively the steam pressure will find the weakest point and a volume of superheated water and steam will vent. Just hope it isn't...

Even if you could get access to the underside of the dent (cut the bottom of the tank out?) then I I am sceptical that you could...

Agree with Mr Atom4488, bottom line is that only you can decide how you want the finished article to look. If the bike is ridden in all...

Once painted use something like this, which because it is slightly flexible will give slightly rounded edges. If you want something more...

Why and either/ or question, use both. Have (say) satin black crankcase and barrels (fins edges polished) and cylinder head with gloss...

Bristol 188 The noise taking off may annoy the neighbours though....

Assuming all of the mating surfaces are flat then all that is required ae annealed washers. If that doesn't work then there is a problem...

Just wondering if the scuff marks are due to inadequate lubrication or poor oil filtering? If it was a lubrication issue wouldn't the...

Could someone explain what real world problem the drilling is trying to solve? IMO the best policy is if it ain't broke don't fix it.

(Supposedly) a better solution (pun unintended but not bad eh?) is ATF and acetone.

Another option is a stepdown top yoke. Not pretty but functional...

Can't speak for Europe but there are some available around that price mark in the UK - Dacia Spring (no, me neither), Citroen C3, FIAT...

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here but I'm not sure of the point you are making...are you having a go at Volvo's product line? What...

There are plenty of free web sites that can facilitate this...:geek:o_O Relevance to a bike lift?

Disagree...science knows how a screw works but still nor sure what gravity is. :eek:

Not sure if it will apply to the XS, but I had to make some risers to give clearance for the exhaust. Didn't fancy putting the full...

I agree that if it is too good to be true then it probably is and at that price I would be wary. But too much to go wrong? Cant get...

Not bolted down but there is nothing to prevent you doing so if you wish. but that then negates the benefit of being able to move it out...

Purchased many moons ago and details of the vendor has been lost in the mists of time. Sorry.

Not that one but I do have the Eazy Rizer (Red) version which lift my V Max without any problems

MM'#s record of the week is...

The 'original' Flying Flea.
