As far as I can tell its an April fool posted to this forum 2 years late.

Here's the clutch. in all its parts. Quite straightforward.

I did notice that. Ive noticed a lot of things about your posts over the past few weeks. and how you react. fascinating stuff.

I would stick it in a box and return it to sportsbikeshop.

My good luck is not everlasting. Sadly this Wednesday I'm on shift till 10pm.

no. Just no. Use what Honda (and every other manufacturer) recommend.

BMW put a lot of time and effort into the design of the seat and screen of the RT. It's one bike they cannot afford to mess up.

Im almost 100% sure that you cannot do this kind of trip on a Bike with L plates. firstly.. L plates are not a 'thing' in the EU.. only in the UK. You will at minimum need an A1 license. You absolutely do not want to fall foul of Spanish police by riding a bike illegally. and with void insurance. Im pretty sure they will treat this as a criminal act and seize the bike and cart you off to a cell pending appearing before a magistrate. And the fine doesn't bear thinking about. thats assuming they let you off with a fine. They probably wont even allow you onto the boat to Spain..

Africa Twin. A moderately Lardy and not very aerodynamic, litre bike. 0-60 ~ 3.3 seconds.

So... an advanced rider says its OK to do something that can result in 3 points plus a fine and perhaps even a ban if you're particularly stupid. excellent.

This is why I never eat in a Wimpy.

Looking forward to seeing it in the metal in 9 weeks.

If its for the Africa Twin its a 10mm Bolt Adapter part no. 90130MGSD31 and the normal retail price is £5.68 no.32 in the image below. Its used on various bikes not just the CRF.

All two stroke oil types are mixable.. it doesn't matter if you add one to another. or drain it completely. or keep on using the current oil until the level is as low as you dare. or just top up it up with the brand new of your choice. doesn't matter. They all do the same thing in exactly the same way. There is no mystery. what DOES matter is that you never run out. That is the most important thing of all.

Ive been using forums since before forums existed.. and if there is one thing you can be absolutely sure of its that every year, without fail. when the weather heats up, this kind of comment and some variation of the following question will appear. I got tired, many years ago of worrying about gear and crashes. I reckoned, if I can afford to spend multiple £1000s on a motorbike and its maintenance, then i could also afford high quality clothing with year round practicality, at least once per decade. So, I went for top of the range Rukka. I cried once, when i paid. And that was 8+ years ago now. Buy once - Cry once. Im about to pull the trigger again on new trousers and looking to pay more than I like to think about. I reckon my legs are at least worth that. As for which body part is most vulnerable in an off. I seem to remember TC answering this at some time or other. Hands. And as someone who knows the cost in pain and anguish of plastic surgery on my hand. Thats something I never want to experience again. Never.

Did any of them have obvious signs of being dropped? probably not. If one were to go over, the rider would not be crushed as it has these great big stck-out-like-a-sore-thumb cylinders and unless he was either a 7 stone weakling with bad joints. or over 80 years of age. He would probably have picked it up before the others had time to dismount, unless it was off camber, with the wheels higher than the seat. (it happens) A GS with luggage is going to fall less far than your bike. Counter-intuitive as that may sound and is far easier to pick up than your bike. counter-intuitive as that may sound too. And.. would, very likely, not have a single scar. unless it fell badly onto a very uneven surface, large rocks for example. You should, perhaps try test riding one. see what you think about your 750 then. heres a young woman.. she weighs just under 9 stone, and although she hasn't got the technique perfect. that doesn't matter. results do.

just going through some stuff and came across the brochure I got with my first modern triumph, back in 1994 (Trident 750) And turned to the page for the Tiger... and it did make me giggle. "Admired by Gnomes." and 25 years later, from todays brochure.. "Born for Adventure"

I doubt if anything will have the impact of the first series.. a fella on the UKGSer forum did this as the first instalment of his own RTW trip and as a highly skilled photographer (film and digital). his 'diary' is truly stunning. 2-up on an 1100GS. And.. this ride from 'tip to tip' is almost normal for a huge number of Americans as its on their doorstep. I wonder will these two be prepared for the wind conditions in Patagonia.

He's a local from Nottingham and will be coming on his VFR I think. This isnt his first trip abroad or through the tunnel, so Ive nothing to worry about on that score. very keen, Told him the room at the schloss was his the moment he booked either his overnighter at Eureka or the Tunnel. he booked into the premier inn on the spot. Hes not a member of this forum. So, thats it.. we're back to a nice round number of 8. and in the nick of time too. 10 weeks today. If possible I'd like to join you guys on next years one though only if I manage to get myself a more comfortable bike as atm 80-90 miles is a push Wont be doing this next year. what we have always done is, because the Eifel is a huge favourite, we go there 2 years in a row and then the 3rd year we go somewhere else. mainly so we don't get bored with the Eifel. a change of place.. something entirely different. Next year my plan is https://tinyurl.com/y636txa3 We will be back in the Eifel in 2021 all being well.

Nothing worse than a gaggle of stock brokers, chartered surveyors, estate agents and university lecturers all dressed up as faux rebels without a pause riding under performing £25,000 modern antiques and attempting to look hard while being bombarded by flies and the occasional explosive bug. You would be miserable too in those circumstances

I always thought an SM or |Super Moto) was nothing more complicated than an off-road bike... a true off roader. Which normally comes with larger than usual wheel rim sizes.. 21" for example. and usually Tubed. And is sold as NOT ROAD LEGAL so no lights at all.. One of those... that has been converted. so.. starting with road wheel rims. more usual sizes. Tubeless. often cast (spokeless) more often than not taken directly from a sports/road bike then add road focussed tyres. preferably sporty ones. or more extreme... scooter type wheels and tyre sizes. After this... add brake lights and indicators... so it can pass at the very least a daytime MOT and so be road legal... or one step further add a headlamps and get a full MOT. and there you have it. As with most conversions like this.. it started out as private individuals looking for something different and doing this themselves. And then.. as the popularity increased. The manufacturers seeing a potential new market and bringing out bikes to fill this new niche. All this began or was made popular, in France.. and the original label given to these conversions was Super Motarde. That changed over time to Super Moto with the arrival of races in Europe on Tarmac racetracks in the early/mid 2000s for these bikes... and now just SM, usually tacked onto the end of the bikes title. so you might have an off-road bike called one thing, and the on-road version called the same, with SM added to differentiate. in their purest form.. or original (racel form. Scramblers are road bikes converted to race on dirt. not always on the flat sometimes with hill climbs thrown in. or just hill climbs. SM are off-road bikes converted to race on tarmac. on any normal racetrack.

Wider, much wider is perfectly normal for a GS. Corned beef cans on scaffolding. Bike like yours... If close fitting OE panniers aren't available, I would be using soft panniers, with a lockable top box for valuables.

You kept that quiet. You failed your mod 2, two months ago and here you are with a 2 year old litre bike. I dread to think what your insurance is with zero NCB. I'm also surprised at the question. New bike. A 2017. You can get mirrors via any Honda dealership they are unchanged from 2016 to today.
