    What does a 6 gal fill look like?

    All right, thanks. I guess the ultimate range of a tankful is best left uninvestigated, then. Not sure what you mean, this is a pic of a Euro Tenere tank filler neck. Plenty holes in the baffle. I remember some elaborate US pump nozzles sucking back the air escaping the tank, so maybe your...

    What does a 6 gal fill look like?

    I'm taking the opportunity of this thread to ask a related question: what happens when an injected bike runs out of gas ? The Tenere is my first, and it has not happened to me (not that I intend it to !). Do you get the few seconds' warning a carbureted bike gives (time enough to switch to...

    "Lash"

    Same experience as yours with my 2012 T, Axel. The immediate approach to my home includes a half-mile stretch of a slightly downhill street I take in 3rd gear at about 20 mph/2000 rpm, and the backlash in the shaft drive is clearly audible in that configuration. Bike approaching 70 k miles and...

    Weapons - What you have (NOT a political discussion)

    Just a thought, could a piezoelectric primer be made compact enough, cigarette lighter-type, to be screwed in, replacing the nipple & cap ? Firearms are heavily regulated in my country as well, but black powder muzzle-loaders (period, NOT replicas) are free to own, so I've been daydreaming of...

    SPOKES !!! any alternative?

    I feel this pedantic urge coming on: spoke threads are rolled not cut, so you most probably can't. Sorry ! ;)

    At 2pm in the middle of the tourist season ? It's just like my hometown, then.

    The anything thread.

    Went for an evening walk with a friend, found this pristine, completely deserted stretch of tarmac. Walked for over an hour, never found a turnoff, never saw a living soul or a single vehicle, and ended up where we'd started. Weird.

    MotoGP Brakes In 2022

    Playing with online calculators and some available MotoGP data, you get close to 600 BHP equivalent power for the front brakes, and almost 1.5 g decelaration forces...

    Loose gas grip

    Yes there is a shim for that. It's next to the rubber grip on your picture. Goes INSIDE the casting. Fixed.

    Cheating on traffic cameras

    Oh give him a break... The man "obviously" suffers from acute arthritis in his right hand, and the passenger provides a mobile therapeutic source of heat to treat his condition. It's called soft tissue healing.

    Will you take the vaccine

    I'm awaiting my third covid shot, convinced mainly by the testimony of antivaxers who survived a bout with covid, and whose advice to their cohorts is invariably "Oh, get the stupid shot already !" In ICU they don't let you smoke or ride your bike, so you miss a lot of opportunities to die of...

    Head stock bearings question

    I've also done it same as you on multiple headstocks and swingarms. Apply some torque on assembly to distribute the grease and center the bearings, then back it off 1/4 turn, finger-tighten it and lock. No pre-load.

    I got very annoyed reading the misty-eyed recollection of this car's designer about his "creative process", that never mentioned the Cheetah ! (Gillet Vertigo)
