Hi When its done well there are no problems  but done badly  :ownzed:      As an observer and LOA  I have to be careful when out with associates ( and some observers)  that they don't use my position as an indication of where they should...

Honestly office my speedo only said I was doing 20    :alas:

Hello Sometime forcing the brake pistons back into the calipers sends a large volume of  fluid back into a master cylinder  this can damage the master cylinder seals or force dirt  into the chamber  so you are not getting any pressure as the fluid just flows past ...

Its worth the wait :-)

That's not the diagnostic port. MY17 bikes were required to meet some EU regulation about diagnostics and have changed to the standard automotive OBD-II connector. It's tucked away next to the battery under the right hand side panel, you need to unclip it, then remove a cap to access it.  ...

Nope  its still the round one under the pillion seat

I wanted to get as near home as possible before it was dark.  So quite a bit of the time  I was moving on some.  That said  worst ins recent months from a tank has been  40.65  and best 54.41  so  49 is not too bad.

Ive got a 2017rt. Rode back from Cairnryan  to Manchester last night  Spent quite a bit of time in the 6K plus range  :whistle:    But also cruising down the motorway    around 4k there is a flat spot up to around 4.5k  setting ...

I can get some more pictures if you like. It was pretty easy  once I had the idea.  Did look first with the hinge to the side  but this did not provide enough swing to allow the nav head to be removed. Ive done almost 4k since fitting it  remove the nav head every...

Hi Yes and no.  Yes tomtom can be fitted  but no the mount holes will not work. I have done this.  Mainly because i have always used Tomtoms and I didn't want to change I removed the gamin  mount  unplugged the cable too.  I then fashioned a hing...

In Manchester we have a systems where each associate is appointed a NO as mentor but rides are generally with a different observer each time.  We aim to get most through their test in 3 months, which is 5 or 6 observed sessions, rides are twice a month so there is time to practice in betwee...

IAM now has a fellows option which requires a re test every 3 years. I have been riding for over 40 years offand on  did my IAM 10 years ago and stayed on to become an observer.  Still learning even after  10 years but its good fun and being an observer with regular retest...
