Re: Yorkshire Wolds June 25th

As things stand, I know I'm going to struggle with a full day event, especially in this heat. Rather than cancelling at the last minute, I'm wondering if someone else will take this ride on as it will be a good un. Sorry to bale but health and safety come first. The situation may improve as the sea...

Re: New helmet time. Which one?

I'm more than happy with my Schuberth C3 Pro and wouldn't hesitate in buying another one when the time comes.

Re: Yorkshire Wolds June 25th

Back in my RT days we used to strap a self contained GPS device to the bike and away we went. I realise that things have moved on now.

Re: Engine Overheat?

@motormuis welcome to the forum This is an old thread and @MrW hasn't visited since 2021! Anyway do these bikes have an oil cooler? Yes they do, but unless your actually moving and creating airflow through the cooler it doesn't really do anything. The only real answer is fitting a fan like the RTp ...

Re: DWA warning - help needed

Re: Power socket

Is it plugged in at the back? You have to disconnect it when you remove the fairing panel, it might not have been plugged back in.

Re: Best puncture repair
