Perhaps you have an 80 deg C thermostat fitted, which should normally keep it at around the 80 deg C mark, but at higher speed, combined with chilly winter air, it can't quite make up it's mind on the temperature... I hadn't thought of this but it does seem likely - I was worried that it might be a...

Far from it.

I was driving to Leeds last night when I noticed my temperature gauge needle to be wavering slowly between 80 and 85C. I suspected a faulty TIM Gauge but I soon noticed this only happened at high revs - at idle, it settles down.

I can confirm this is untrue

Can anyone explain the advantage of running twin carbs, and if that's worth much on a standard 1098?

Also not able to find it!

Welcome back. I'm pleased somebody is taking care of this; our web 1.0 experience can hardly be described as optimal. This along with rude moderators and the most uninspiring colour of grey I have ever seen makes for a bland, dismal experience. It's no wonder there's so much grumbling on here... Jus...

I'm in Liverpool so it's a fair run for me but Merseyside branch aren't particularly busy compared to some of the others, so it'd definitely be worth the travel...

Hello all,

I think I've got a leaking oil seal on one of my rear wheels. Will I need to buy one of those claw-like hub pullers to remove the hub, or will it just slide off?

Went in last week for a rear reflector, came out with a mixer tap.

Any report on the quality of their flexible hoses?

It's not unheard of. After fifty years of spinning around, constantly heating up and cooling down, I'm not surprised.

Hi, just a quick one. I'm in the market for a new fan blade - mine snapped while on holiday (severing only a lighting cable, luckily...) Are the £10 new ones from ESM/BM decent quality, or would I be better off getting a second hand one from somewhere? I don't want to fit a cheap one which will cons...
