    front caliper slider pins

    Does anyone know where to buy replacement pins? The official kit for one caliper is around $25 and that's a lot for a pin and a couple of things I don't need. Thanks.

    full set of EBC sintered brake pads

    I'm selling a complete set - 2 front brake sets, and 1 rear brake - of the EBC Double-H Sintered Brake Pads. They are unused and in their original packaging. I got them as part of a package and already have a set. On ebay, the set is $100 not including shipping (unless you have prime)...

    Motorcycle oil vs car oil = save yer money

    I recently changed my oil using some Mobil 1 synthetic car oil (just standard - not for worn engines etc). It's relatively cheap at about $9/quart(liter) and comes in the proper weights. I recently read a post about car oils and possible damage to bike catalytics which puzzled me since...

    Go to your dealer now and have the throttle checked

    Theres' been a bunch of posts about limp mode, manifested by limited power but no warning lights. This is the throttle position sensor failing. The reason I'm writing this is because, while a few SP owners were notified, the rest were not - I own an affected strada and received no notice...

    Flushing the front brakes

    I'm going to flush the fluid on my front brakes - I'll be putting on speed bleeders to help with this. I have a couple of questions: The manual calls for removing the calipers and forcing the pads apart to seat the pistons. It's unclear but I guess you bolt them back on after this process...

    jerky throttle and solution

    This might not solve others' problems but I just ran into this. Finishing a 700mile camping backroad scratching trip I noticed a lot of throttle snatch. Thinking I maybe read too many forums I did some testing and it was indeed pretty jerky. The first thing I thought was what a mechanic told...

    roadside repair. tool kit woes. the things I carry

    So it’s winter here in New England and the bike is in storage (that would be my living room). I’ve started going through it a little, with the idea that if I have to do a roadside repair I’d like to know where stuff is and how to get to it. I like to ride longer distances. I don’t use the...

    using ktm mirrors - great at a fair price

    I know there are a lot of mirror threads but I wanted to put this tip in its own thread. The original mirrors seem small to me - a lot of blind spots, but a good view of my shoulders. They also move too easily - I use a bike cover and have been caught too many times ion the highway with the...

    Tips on winter storage

    Indian summer in New England will end, and inevitably winter will roll in. I'm wondering about winter storage tips. I store mine in a heated space and my past 2 bikes I just put a little gas stabilizer in and trickle charged the battery on occasion. I have read that pulling the plugs and...
