Hi guys - bike has a dead battery and manuals states 12v 8AH. Does this mean ANY battery with the same specification works? Worried wrong battery may have a low max discharge giving a weak start. Many thanks

Noticed that my bike's rear brake takes noticeable longer to engage (e.g having to press down further for brake to start engaging). Havent ridden my bike for a while and only started having this problem. Also, if I pump the rear brakes harder and faster then it starts to engage earlier? Checked the fluid levels and theyre all topped up, any insights on what this could be?

Sounds like pure luxury that thing! It must feel butter smooth coming stock from honda. Wow would love to try riding the africa twin sometime in the future

Really? What bike do you ride? A bicycle?

Hi guys, just finished installing the healtech quickshifter on my z900, was wondering how hard should the shift feel? The shift lever when upshifting with the quickshifter feels heavier than with the clutched pull in --> should this be the case? I havent ever tried a quickshifter so i cant compare

Trying to figure out the alignment today... but the rod is too short (also something my misses tells me but thats besides the point)

Very good last point, some Xiaomi electronics i bought worked very well but the non-branded ones on ebay were absolutely horrendous

Oh wow thats really unique, just searched a couple pics and its pretty spacious. Would you say its a fair trafeoff for the smaller gas tank?

Looks clean . I'd personally get side panniers to get that big touring bike look

I never knew benellis were sold in the UK. Just saw a picture of TRK502 and man do they look good. Looks almost like a multistrada at less than 1/3 the cost. Its cheaper than an R3 as well. Anyone thats ridden these bikes can tell me about their reliability and how nice (or terribly) it rides?

Thanks, Ill have a look at it. Not looking forward to it considering I have to lift the gas tank off the bike thanks to kawasaki engineering Surprisingly both my fuel injected kawis have an idle screw.. its almost like they knew the idle speed was gonna be a problem It sounds like a four cylinder bike on startup but ill give it a shot

Rode on my bike today and stalled 2-3 times which hurt my ego severely. A closer look at the dash made me realise the lower idle (around 850 rpm) and it usually idles around 1000-1100. The lower idle is also pretty unstable Other than turning the idle screw, could there be an underlying issue? Bike is a 2017 Z900 with around 6000 miles. Next valve clearence check is miles away, but should it be checked once every few years or only after a certain mileage is passed? Thanks for any insight into this

Im not sure if changing it affects my MOT so i opted for these clipons so I can remove them during MOTs Wow thanks for the detailed response, definitely need to sharpen up my electricity knowledge haha

So my headlights are pretty mediocre at night so I'm looking to install these aftermarket headlights in addition. I'm just worried that these extra may draw too much power so I'm not sure how it may affect the battery or damage it? (im horrendous with electricity stuff). Is there also a way to check the maximum load the battery can output? Cheers

The 650 was a lil too slow for me.. so I upgraded to a 950 . Sorry Stu and others that said I should get the z1000.. but my short legs can only flat foot this baby
