Most rear huggers are useless practically but somehow make a bike look better. Invariably too short to capture tyre-fling and there are better ways to protect a monoshock unit any linkage.
The naked rear wheel on my S displeased me so I bought this fine attempt via ebay.
It is long enough and...
Different bike models often behave differently when cornering and the needed steering input to control turning varies.
I'd rate my S as having pretty neutral steering, it turns in easily and gets on with the turn without much further bar input.
My Buell always want to stand up without some...
At 80kg in full gear I'm perfectly happy to mount using the left rest. Only a topbox on my S but my hips 'ain't what they used to be.'
If you look at the sidestand angle with the bike leaning on it the load would go down the stand leg without much bending tendency. The sidestand being mounted...
Looks like access to the fuel pump and it's filters on these bikes is even more difficult than assess to the inaccessible air filter. Blimey!
Concern about tank internal rusting has prompted me to take the following measures to minimize the risk:
Try to refill the tank just before arriving...
My bet is on a blocked fuel filter, or filters.
Fuel pumps tend to have two filters, a coarse intake filter to keep bigger debris out of the pump pickup and a fine filter to stop less dirty outlet fuel being delivered to the fuel injectors. The coarse filter is obvious but the fine one is...
Wanting more protection on my S I recently added a Givi A34 four-point-mounted screen. This screen is my favourite for naked bikes with a round headlight but it fits on an S without modification. I suspect that a Givi Airflow screen for naked bikes would also fit on an S without modification...
Thanks. Yes, I'd looked at those but so far haven't done it. Definitely a good idea. With DCT the parking brake lever looks like it would be in the way of the finger brake.
I bought my SD specifically to get DCT because achy joints are making manual gear changing painful during all-day rides.
In the main I like DCT but find some slow speed turning manoeuvres more challenging without a clutch lever to feather. With DCT you need to trail the rear brake and keep the...
