Hey peeps the back end of the XJ turbo is more or less ready to go back on, the wheels and frame are going down to Rolling Art in swindon to be refurbished and the forks are going to Philpots in luton, theres only a few things left to source and the puzzle is complete, one of these parts is the rear brake shoes springs, the rear brake shoes are EBC Y515s, the old ones were rust as hell and i want to make sure i get the springs right to prevent any chance of failure

Hi - I popped my 2000 TDM850 over to the local garage saturday and used the jet wash being very careful not to point it anywhere vital. Afterwards all was well (and clean), I lubed the chain, and took it out for a run and didnt have any problems. Didnt use it Sunday but this morning I started it with choke which normally runs the engine at an extra 500-1000rpm depending on how much choke. But...after about a minute, and without touching the choke, the engine slowed to normal idle. Once it warmed up I took the choke off and it sounded like it was running on one cylinder only and had to use the throttle to keep it running on both cylinders. I figured if it was moisture, the…

Anyone ever been doing something, and needed to nip somewhere fast or do something fast and the tools available for them wasn't there? I was thinking earlier about toothpaste, and its use as a chrome polish. Has anyone else got any uses for random everyday stuff, that comes in real handy in the workshop or on the move? Anything at all, substitutes for bike care items would be great. 1. Toothpaste - Chrome/Metal Polish 2. Tampon/Screw Driver - Gets at oil in hard to reach places 3. Vinegar/Soda Crystals/Lemon Juice - Eats off rust, ready to paint! 4. Aluminium Foil/Coke - Removes rust/marks and polishes chrome. 5. WW2 issue P-38 Can Opener or Dough - Dont…

Hi everyone, Sorry that the site has been down without any explanation. It's completely my fault, I thought the upgrade I was performing was going to be a typical 15min job. As it was late at night in the UK, I didn't think anyone would be on the site so just started the upgrade without setting the board offline. Which explains why the board is down. Unfortunately it wasn't a quick upgrade like normal, and ended up taking about 12 hours work! Anyway I am also in the process of installing some new anti spam software to work alongside the existing IPB spam software which should help eradicate the unwanted spam users we've been getting over the last few days. Tha…
