    Imagine my surprise...

    ... pulling the bike out of the garage this morning, I found a spoke from my xt1200z lying on the drive. Not good. The bike currently has Stainless spokes fitted by DaveS, the spoke in question seems to have snapped at the "fixed" end, and looks to have slid out of the "adjusting" end...

    Headlight Bulbs

    There are a bewildering array of headlight bulbs, all claiming to be better and brighter than the next. Given that I need H7 12v 55w bulbs... does anyone have any tried and tested recommendations? Cheap and cheerful and £5 a pair? Or all singing all dancing light up the moon on a cloudy day £30...

    XT1200Z electrical issues?

    Started the bike outside work yesterday, and it turned over and didn't start first time (for a change). Tried again, started. Went out to the garage this morning, dead. No dashlights, alarm wouldn't disarm, nothing. Connected charger, displayed as zero volts, zero amps. I've left it charging...

    HD Camera

    I currently have a fancy(ish) HD Helmet Cam, lcd screen, little remote control thingy etc. I'm looking to purchase a separate cheaper setup, not quite disposable, but won't matter as much if it gets damaged in transit, that sort of thing. Looking for a HD video camera, decent quality recording...

    Varadero Battery

    The battery on my '02 plate Varadero (xl1000) may be coming to the end of its life, bless it. Has anyone had a replacement on theirs for any length of time that they would be willing to recommend? There are the usual after market candidates offered by Wemoto et al, but wondering if anyone has...

    Vara suspension

    My last MOT gave me an advisory for "decreased rate of damping for the rear shock" or words to that effect. The whole bike had felt a bit... lumpy and soft for a while now, it's an '02 plate on 65k miles.... it's had a well travelled life, and the advisory kicked me in to action. The front end...

    Vara front disks.

    OK, this may be a stupid question.... When replacing the front brake disks on a big Vara, can the job be done with the wheel in situ, or does it "have" to be done with the wheel off the bike?

    Tax Disc

    My tax is due this month, and as usual I'll be sticking 12 months on. Does anyone know for sure if, once the date for not needing to display a disc comes round, I will be able to remove mine from the bike? Never sure with the DVLA whether it will only be for vehicles taxed after that date or...
