    Hi all! This is almost wintertime and my question would be how we should prepare our beloved bike for proper winter storage? What tricks need to be done on the bike? Especially on chromed/painted areas but I am also enquiring about fuel tank, tyres etc. Thank you and regards

    The noise is coming in neutral as well. The bike is in saloon condition no other problems at all. Thank you

    Hi all! At a certain revs I hear a rattling noise coming up from the engine. The noise is something like a steel ball from ball bearing put into a can and shaked in a circular movement. Just below 60 km/h (40 miles/hour) it is quite audiable and disturbing. Otherwise the bike is in a very good shape. Anybody came accross with this? Thank you Regards

    Hi, I own a Wild Star 1600cc. After the engine warmed up I push the choke back and the idle revs go really low. The engine won't cut out it just spins at a low rate. If I am turninf for example in a roundabout in first or second gear (depends on roundabout size), I can't do it without pulling some extra throttle. At idle revs it yanks. Adding a small throttle: everything goes smoothly. She does it in each gear. She is in a very nice condition with low mileage and the carburettor was never opened and everyting else is factory fitted (pipes, air filter, etc). Thank you for your help

    Hi folks, I own a Wild Star 2004 beast and refuelled today fully but the fuel meter won't go up to the full mark. If I turn the key both the speedo and fuel goes through the up and down sequence and than the fuel gauge goes 2mm only above the pin on the empty side. What is wrong? Has anybody experienced something like this? Thank you Regards
  7. Hi, Thank you for that. What is the link for that website?

    Hi folks, just wondering if the XV1600 Wild (Royal) Star and the XVS650A Drag (V Star) front brake and clutch levers are identical or not? Thank you

    Hi folks, I am wondering to get a hypercahrger for my beauty but I don't really know how does it work (increases air flow into the carb maybe?). Could you please explain it to me? What effects does it have? Does it reduces engine life time? Thank you

    Hey lads, would you know how to remove the heatshields from the pipes on a XVS650A? The pipes are dirty underneath and it is impossible to reach area under the shields. Thank you

    How can I open th mufflers? I can't see any screws or anything. What about drilling through the slanted outside part and the inside baffle about an inch further?

    Hey folks, I am wondering how I could drag more sound from the pipes. I have the stock pipes mounted at the moment without any modifications. Bigger sound would be also safer on the roads especially in heavy traffic. If it would be possible I would like to keep the stock pipes because I like their shape Thank you
