Winterisation
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

Wild Star rattling noise
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

XV1600 idle revs
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

Wild Star petrol gauge
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

hypercharger
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

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?

pipe modification
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

Chrome cleaning
Hi folks! Today a guy offered to me the Xzilon 3 AECI stuff for polising metal/painted parts. It is an aircraft exterior appearance corrosion inhibitor approved by Boeing and Airbus. Demonstrated on my bike and results are very good: shiny and smooth surface. Serious stuff just like it's price: €90 a bottle. Xzilon does someting similar for cars: has somebody used that one? Alternatively could you recommend some good cleaning/polishing product what would keep dust, water and insects away? Thank you Hit the road

Saddle bag on rear fender
Hi folks! I've just bought saddle bags for my Dragstar 650. I've seen on many used bikes that the bags remove the paint from the rear fender as it moves a bit all the time. Is there any way to protect the paint before I install the bags? Thank you

need right-hand drive lens assembly
Hi Lads! I live in Ireland and I am going to leave the counrty back to the good old continent. Ireland is a left-hand drive country so the bike's headlight is correspondindgly set up to light more on the left hand side. This will cause problems on the continent so I have to change it. I sourced the lens from Canada (right hand drive country) I am just not too sure if there is any difference in the lenses between US/Canada and European models. Would somebody know? Any help appreciated Thank you Regards
