i have for sale the switchgear for the above tourer. This is for the “full monty” switch which features ESA, ASC & [size=78%]CRUISE.[/size] I bought this last year from Motorworks and never got round to fitting it as I sold the bike in the meantime. If your switchgear hasn’t yet got faulty, it w...

You all missed the bargain of the year. Sorry.

Re the retest IAM vs ROSPA.

Got great feedback and it helped keep me refreshed. No need for retests if using this method. IMO.

I'd been riding around 25 years when, about 4 years ago, I decided to take a "Bikesafe" weekend with the local police. It was very good and you get detailed feedback on your riding and great advice on road positioning etc. Whilst there the local IAM were promoting there club so I decided t...

Thank you. Top site. Great information resource!

Hired a scooter in Crete years ago. The rural roads were awful.
Would often round a bend and half the mountain would be laid across the road.
I had tight underpants on otherwise my thighs would have been brownbe

Just seen this thread and coincidentally bought the Yuasa and fitted it on Monday.
Cheap, does the job and MDS have brilliant service.

Steve f. Depending upon how criminal you wish to be there's a way in which two riders can use the tolls with one liberte tag.

On the 2010 se the switch is able to be  opened and cleaned up. I've done it, it's easy!
The screen does not lower when ignition is switched off. It has to be done manually before switching off.
Simples :alas:
