Remap

I had my '16 remapped yesterday. Ex factory it's rated 125hp / 92ft/lb - at the crank, which is probably 95hp at the back wheel. Unsure of torks at the back wheel. Anyway see attached. My bike has a K&N filter, stainless headers which are de-cat and have no flappy valve thing, and an akrapovic e...

Re: Knee help... Footpeg Lowering?

When you fit lowered footrests, and adjust the gearchange linkage to suit, don't forget to tighten up the locknuts before going for a ride. Don't ask me how I know this....

Re: Honda Super Cub

I've just bought one for a back roads tour with some friends next year. Unfortunately the cheating barsts have all bought ones with 110cc (minimum) engine conversions, or the aussie post bikes.

Dyno run

'15 RT LC  on the dyno today. As suspected at wide open throttle fuelling is near perfect, then it gets gradually worse until this, for quarter throttle opening. Unfortunately the dyno man hasn’t got the correct cable, he can read from the bike but not write, so we await a cable from Italy.

Re: Gel Seat

Hi it self inflates, like a camping mat - you sit on it, then press the button to let out air so you get it right for yourself. Then at the end of the day, press the button and it inflates itself. No need for a pump, which for me makes it so much better than air hawk etc. Medium size fits my '15 RT ...

Re: Hello!

Check that the shaft has been lubed on the splines, and the exhaust flap is working OK, other than that, get out and ride / enjoy.
