The original engine in my bike took out the G/Box O/P bearing. I put a new engine in, mainly because it was quicker than waiting for the original to be rebuilt. Now it comes to fixing the original engine I'm reminded yet again that engines aren't really worth rebuilding. I've already got the...

Hi, Any body know of a mobile puncture/tyre fitting service in Hampshire.. :-( Cheers Matt.

Anyone got some advice for me? My F650 gets a bit rattly if I don't use it for a while, during initial start up. The problem goes after a second or so, (sounds like big end to me). Is it an easy job to replace the big end bearing? or is it specialist specialist tooling and a real pain? I've...

Hello folks. I'm planning some longer rides this summer. My Boy Scout training tells me to 'Be Prepared', so I've been looking at the BMW tubeless puncture repair kit provided with my CS. The instructions look so nice in theory, don't they, but I need more reassurance. So, back in the Real...
