At this stage now iv spent just as much time I'm my side than up right. What's everyone's crash/fall stories. Weekend just gone I came off going around a corner too fast in the sand. Made for a lovely soft landing this time. But my others in the past I haven't been so lucky.

Just had some new tires put on the bike and now it's like a completely new bike! Before on the stock tires it would squirm and wobble uncontrollably in sand to the point the front end slipped out a few times in sand and dirt causing a few drops and two really sucky crashes. With these I'm...

Has anyone changed to a 16t front sprocket and what was your experience with it. Need to change my chain as I set it too tight on my travels after removing the wheel to repair it and now the chain has a stretch in it and needs to be replaced. Silly me! So I'm thinking of going to a 16t front...

So long story short, on a 5,000km ride I rolled the bike down a track while doing 80kmph, it tumbled down the road about 80m and bent my gear lever, broke my left indicator and spotlight and broke my right mirror, bent the cluster/,speedo and wind sheild and handle bars. Yet after bending the...

Just got my small Naz bags today and fitted them to the bike. And I'm extremely impressed with them. They are sturdy, very well made and most importantly look awesome! I don't have any luggage racks but they mount perfectly well to the frame with no movement at all. No issues with exhaust or...

Installed some new spotlights last night to help with getting around in the dark. I just removed the plastic cover from the tank bars and used the front bolt hole to mount some cheep $39 AU spotlights from my local BCF store. The images don't do ot justice just how much brighter, further and...

So this is the second time I've heard this and both times while the engine was still warming up. This morning when I was letting out the clutch to set of I heard a loud groaning/ low pitch screech from the clutch and the bike jerked a little more than expected. After that it ran fine! Anyone...

Been doing a bit of riding in the local desert and with the sand iv nearly come off more times than I can count. So I'm thinking of investing in some engine bars. What do people recommend. I've noticed the style royal enfeild show in their pictures ( 2 points of attachment) are 3 times cheaper...

Hi Folks. Just had my bike serviced for the first time and the garage has put in 10w 40 oil instead of the stated 10w 50. Since I live in the desert in Australia where it's very hot 40C + sometimes as hot as 50C. Is it me or do I need to change the oil for something a little thicker. The...
