Well i have been whizzing about on a scooter while waiting to find a decent bike.. The bike is nearly finished but i am changing the clutch rollers on the scoot as the old ones were knackered.. My question is when i took the old ones out they were covered in grease.. Are they supposed to be greasey or should they be bone dry??.. i will add the grease looked pretty manky so it may not have been put there deliberately.. Any ideas fellas?

I am trying to find out if a Radian (86) top triple tree or the upper & lower as a unit will bolt up to an 86 SRX. If so will it retain same spacing for my front wheel? As you can probably figure out I want to install a standard handle bar and I don't want to drill holes in my stock triple tree to mount risers. Radian triple trees are available on ebay right now at reasonable prices. Unless someone on here has a Radian top triple they want to sell. Thanks,

Went to the cinema last night and saw the new 3-D film about the Isle of Man TT races... I'm not a fan of Sports bikes and racing, but this is definitely something WELL worth seeing!! For those that don't know, the TT (Tourist Trophy) races take place on the Isle of Man every year. The big thrill is that this isn't a racing track - These guys are racing on normal public roads, through what are normally 30mph limit areas and around mountain roads at up to 200mph!! There are several races of different classes held over a week or two and these guys are blasting past brick and stone walls, lamp posts, sheer drops and all sorts. Accidents can and do happen - In it's hu…

Hi All, with the amount of oils available now and having been away from bikes for many years, what would be a good oil for the autolube on the LC? Obviously the smell of the Castrol is a great hit still, but I have read that there are many others now as good. Also is it still better to go for the pre mix than the auto lube? All recommendations welcome, Thanks, Mick.

Alan the moped 'ALAN' - one of only 30 million ever made - It is widely believed (by me) that this unassuming little moped was the original training bike of the 'Ghost Rider' (please see photo 1 for documented proof) Looking resplendant in non-original Llama urine yollow and household apple white gloss this little fella has covered a mear 3463 miles from new, which cannot be verified of course. I inherited this vehicle from my late father in law who, to the best of my knowledge, never actually had it on the road. It was stolen by some oiks then 'recovered' for ten english pounds. Substantial damage was caused to the lighting/ignition 'module' (handle bar switch) …

Hey folks, The divvy has got an M357t on it but not wired in, no fob, but I do have all the original documents and even fitting centre details, which is in London. Does anyone know of an authorized dealer or fitter / repairer in Scotland, preferably in the Edinburgh area? I've had a google about and can't find any definitive info. Thanks.
