I saw this recently on facebook and couldn't help but agree with what this Jeffrey Hughes had to say back in 2007

There's a lot of guys over here need these when struggling with their GS1250 BMW's with all the accessories and girlfriends on the back through Manila traffic

2018 Z900rs

2013 KLR650

I commute every month for work between Southern and Northern Luzon about 830klm each way but half by airplane and half by road and consider 400klm on these roads and in this traffic a long ride, particularly as it rains half the time

Gotta love the early Z900's, I use a 2018 late model rs for my long trips here. Is a good bike also once you get the bugs sorted out

Yep, got arthritis in both hands. EZ Pull from 650 Central fixed that. You need both the cable and the lever. The only way I think you will get easier is to go hydraulic.

Ive got Hagon shocks on 3 of my bikes and obviously like them a lot. They are great value for money. I've had them made both in US and UK. My XS has roller head brgs, Race Tech emulators, bronze swing arm bushes and Hagon shocks and it rides very well.

I did the same with my forks and added Race Tech emulators from 650central. Made a big difference to the ride and handling

Pulled the cover off it after 8 weeks, a quick dust off, air in the tyres, checked the oil, gave it a kick in the guts, lubed the chain and started riding it again. I love this bike.

I experienced the engine shutting on and off thing some time back and it was just as if the ignition was being shut off then turned back on again which turned out it was. The problem in my case was a bad ignition switch plug connection in the headlight bucket. Turned out the lock tab broke off...

I'm in Philippines and don't have a lot of options when things go wrong. I run pamco and had a dud ignition connection and fried the green card a couple of years ago. thought shit that's it while I wait for a replacement. Emailed Pete and he talked me through it, explained how it worked and I...

I've got this brace on my 78 Special and like it a lot. It's Tarozzi and high quality. I like the fact that's it tough and doesn't shine and works well with the standard mudguard.

Pulled it out of the storage shed 2 days ago. It's been sitting for 6 weeks under a cover. Set the tyre pressures and checked the oil. The battery had enough to give me a neutral light but not enough to turn it over. Primed the fuel and it fired 1st kick so I lubed the chain, rode it home and...

I've got a small block Guzzi and agree with weaslebeak about Dyna S ignition. My bike immediately ran better after I installed it. This is a bike I will never part with either.

Scotchmist, my apology for taking so long to post this. I'm currently in Zambia at work and my internet went down and took until yesterday afternoon to get someone to fix it. Specs are as follows : Slave cyl service limit : 38.18mm (1.503") Slave piston svce...

I'll pull up the actual ID and post later tonight for you. I've got a Sabre that runs that slave cylinder and can verify that it's a very easy pull with heavy duty clutch springs. I'm at work at present but will pull up my service manual and post here in about 6 hours time.

Hi DE, what ever you do, don't go with the original twin disc setup that some XS models were released with as you receive minimal extra braking for a whole lot of extra hardware and weight. I know as I went this way and am regretting it now. RG's setup is far better and MMM at 650central offers...

Please post what you find once you tear it down with pictures. I'm very keen to see the outcome. There's been much discussion about these gears but I haven't seen much in the way of reporting on failures. I'm running these gears also and have done about 10k on them now without an issue. Like you...

I run a high output pump I bought from De-Muede in Germany. They call it a "plus 50%" pump. I bought my bike used and had a top end failure due to lack of oil shortly after, repaired that then had a crankshaft bearing fail. Rebuilt the engine and had to replace the pump as the ring the rotor...
