    Radiator fan protection?

    On a recent ride I dropped the bike on the left side onto uneven ground, and through the crash bars, the plastics pushed the radiator fan into the radiator, causing a puncture. The pressure applied seems to have been very minimal - it was on uneven, hard rocky ground (baked clay with rocks...

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    I've noticed that I've got a bit of an oil leak around the final drive. It's not too bad - no oil dripping on the floor under it, but it is seeping out. I've noticed there's a hole on the underside which seems to be the source of a lot of it - anyone have any clues as to what is causing this...

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    For those who have a Givi Outback Trekker top box - are you concerned about the weight hanging over the back? I recently got one of these and mounted it on my AltRider rack. When i ride around it does rattle about a bit. The entire case also hangs behind the mounting points, which means the...

    Correct reed type for re-keying Givi security locks?

    I've got givi toolbox that i would like to re-key so I can use the same key for my Givi outback trekker pannier boxes. It's the "security lock" type - I know I can buy new barrel sets, but for a 3 lock set i'm looking at a lot of money, so I want to see if I can re-key the toolbox to match my...

    Vibration through rear rack

    I've got an alt-rider rear rack, which I've put a cheap topbox on. I've got a real vibration problem though - particularly on dirt roads a lot of vibration gets transmitted through - anything inside the topbox that isn't well isolated (usually, inside a small backpack that goes in the topbox)...

    Delkevic slip-on positioning

    My new-to-me 2010 S10 has a Delkevic slip on that has been burning up my indicator. I've just repositioned it, hoping someone who knows a bit more about exhaust positioning can give advice if it looks good or if i might run into problems. Here's how it was: The indicator (covered in foil...

    Ignitition switched distribution box

    Thought I'd share something I installed today - a 4 outlet, ignition switched distribution box. It plugs into the aux light connector, and is switched via a relay on the ignition signal that is present in that connector. Really quite neat and tidy, gives me four outlets, individually fused (with...

    2010 - headlight completely dead

    Quick electrical question. This afternoon I noticed my headlight was out (2010 model). Both headlights and the small running lights too). Everything else electrical is fine though. I’m guessing the connector to the headlight has come loose, or perhaps a fuse has blown. Anyone had that happen...

    How far do you go with the fuel gauge flashing?

    I’ve got a 2010, still quite new to me so I’m still getting a feel for fuel range. I’ve been getting about 270-300km (165-185mi) before the fuel gauge starts flashing. so far I’ve been filling up within 30km (18mi) or so, but I was wandering how far people usually go? I’ve found I’m usually...

    Do you carry tire levers? if so, where?

    As I'm new to tubeless adventure bikes, I have a question - do you carry tire levers and spare tube in case you get a flat that you can't repair with a plug? If you do carry tire levers, any good spots you've found for storing them?
