Depending on your weight, a spring change could help. I tried a 5pw linkage on my 4xv a few years ago. It raised the rear and quickened the steering, …login to view the rest of this post

Happy New Year everyone. The jets and needle will be different from standard with the Stage 1 kit fitted. Dynojet still list it on their website with …login to view the rest of this post

Do you know which linkage it has? The 4xv and 5jj are progressive, but for some reason the 5pw is linear.

Is the Ohlins the same length as the stan…login to view the rest of this post

Good to hear from you. Yes, definitely ride the R1 more! I did a 450 mile trip in Northland (NZ) last weekend and had great fun.

Interesting. I wonder if the later MT10SP also has the upgraded suspension?

Looks like you had a great time overall. Did the new rear sort the tyre problem?

Yes, it does feel strange reading Polar's posts knowing he has passed away, but I'm sure he'd be pleased.

I expect it gets very hot between the heade…login to view the rest of this post

You might be able to reach the fan with the fairing off and spin it by hand. Once you have the fan sorted, I'd suggest changing the thermoswitch for o…login to view the rest of this post

Welcome to the forum. There's a few 4xv owners here... I probably hold the record for the highest mileage - almost 100,000 miles now. I've done many trips on mine - it's surprisingly comfortable with higher bars. The engine is pretty good as standard, but the suspension does need some help. I fitted...

Yes, but if the clutch has been slipping for a while it's worth replacing the plates. Mine was like yours and the slip wasn't very noticeable, but the…login to view the rest of this post

There are so many minor differences, but the rear of the tank and the rear cowling are probably the most obvious. The rearset heel plates are drilled…login to view the rest of this post

No, the headlights are on permanently. But let me check the wiring diagram as it may have the same connector on the loom.

Maybe whatever holds the contacts pressed against each other is sticking or has lost its tension. Last time I had it apart, it the mechanism and cont…login to view the rest of this post

Great to hear from you! It's pretty quiet here, but there's still a few of us who drop in. To post photos, tap the blue and white P icon under the e…login to view the rest of this post

OK, the problem restarting the bike happened again today. I turned the kill switch on and off, and the engine started. Interesting thing was it felt l…login to view the rest of this post

I had a decent test ride on a MT-10 SP and thought that the suspension was quite harsh, even on the softest setting. A standard 2019 Tuono felt much …login to view the rest of this post

We have steeper hills in NZ so sometimes it's good to use the kill switch to turn the engine off. 😄 But I've stopped using for now. When the black box…login to view the rest of this post

Very nice!

That's good, I've ridden my bike with the standard clipons and changing them made such a difference.

Even with the bar risers on my 4xv, I find 1.5 h…login to view the rest of this post
