Has anyone peeled off the metal shrouds on the plug sticks. I assume they are there as an interference guard. I would have thought being deep in the cam cover that would have been an adequate shield. I'd like to take mine off to reduce the risk of the high tension shorting to earth. Opinions?

Just knocked together a guard to protect the plug ht caps against the worst of the weather. I sourced a cheap laptop pc support from ikea, cut it down to the dimensions I obtained using a cardboard template and attached with heavy duty double sided adhesive tape. Quite pleased with the results

Has anyone else turned off their traction control and felt an improvement in the bikes handling on the road ?

Has anyone in the northern UK had their 25000 valve check service carried out by a dealer. Who did you use?, were you happy with the quality of their work?, how much did they charge? Did you take the opportunity to retrofit the updated cam chain tensioner at the same time? Thanks in advance.

a very good friend of mine is selling his recently renovated xt500. He's been around to my house on it last week to show it off and I have to say I was very impressed. As an engineer he has made an excellent job of the renovation and I am confident of placing a link to the bike on this forum...

Since it was a nice day and the roads were dry I thought I would pop down on my xt1200 to my local dealer. 1) to see if there had been any interest in my 900 he is selling for me and more importantly 2) to buy some fuel enhancer to protect the fuel system on my xt1200 over the winter...

Just taken my TDM for its MOT (annual UK safety check) but was EXTREMELY embarrassed to note that I only did 751 miles on it last year. It really does beg the question whether I should keep it or not ?? BD
