Re: ScootRS

I heard from a reliable source at Cadwell that Randall and his Vietnamese wife have parted company. As I am told, foreigners are not allowed to own businesses in Vietnam the business must have been in his wife's name. Therefore it would seem Randall is no longer involved in the running of said busin...

Re: Race Tour Pistons

If they are as bad as their stators then best avoided.

Re: Koyo bearings?

I had a FAG endplate bearing fail just a week ago,I replaced it with an MB bearing. MB branded products fail as often as any other quality supplier and have a history of doing so. This is NOT a dig at Mark. He doesn't make every part he supplies. Race Tour pistons Alpha Cranks MB Layshafts To name ...

Economy is important to me as well and I know an expansion pipe will reduce this but which pipes are best in this respect?
Cheers guys.
Recently fitted a Robbospeed expansion to my TS1 255. Went down two atomisers from the Super Tourer I took off.

Re: Scomadi TL200 vs GTS300 1,000 miles and dyno

The scooter rally scene is now quite firmly dominated by GTS's, If this is true, I'm glad I don't go to the same rallies as you. The last National I attended (Lincoln 2015) was firmly dominated by Caravans and Motorhomes. What's more the owners of these 50K+ vehicles were not happy to pay the £15 e...

Re: Gel seat/pads...

In my experience gel pads don't work unless your seat is awful to begin with. Airhawks are far better but don't overfill, you have to get the right amount in for you. Otherwise you are floating about and sitting far too high. But I've found if you stop for fuel every 50 miles neither is necessary.
