... for I have sinned As many here will know I've owned a BoxerCup since 2008 and have covered 24000 happy miles on it. I regularly change the oil and filter, and during a recent gearbox oil change I changed to Mobil 1 SHC fully synthetic and combined with a 20g tube of LiquidMoly has resulted in a...

In my experience so far: 95RON (standard 'normal' petrol) is pretty much universally (in the UK) now E10 (up to 10% ethanol), and for my Rockster - I get about 165 miles to reserve. 98RON ('Super unleaded') is normally E5 (up to 5% ethanol), but some companies (eg, IIRC Shell) say that there is virt...

Instead of attaching the lids with pop rivets as per standard I've used small allen bolts, so that if I feel the need to put the larger lids on I can swap them in 10 mins or so. IIRC Vines actually did that job for me when I bought my first Rockster and had the city lids included in the order. Unfo...

I'm very glad I wasn't imagining it!

Yes - that's maybe what I was remembering.

I suspect it may be corrosion that will have caused that. On two fronts.............. Metal oxide occupies a much larger volume than the parent metal (steel is 7 times greater volume) Corrosion can cause interstices which make cracking more likely. The alloy corrodes and swells - and cracks to reli...

Yes - I've heard of this - I think it's something to do with the reflector inside the lamp unit being suitable for incandescent bulbs (eg halogen/xenon), but NOT for LED bulbs (which throw the light out in a different way). The practical upshot is that you don't get the same 'beam' of light from the...

You should be able to tickle that last 'leaf' in the barrel through a hole in the inside face of the pannier body.

You could probably get 3 flat-tankers in there!

Thanks for the rapid re-animation of the corpse!

Not sure if posted before (might have been - yonks ago) video compilation of the Boxer Cup Series races. https://vimeo.com/1448555?fbclid=IwAR2W2YNjDyEkSfwOGDFTJhGEOVXfbcqOvQBmAaiOqAChR_xZOCnt4MzOml0 About 2 minutes in - two bikes bang cylinder heads on the banking at Daytona.... just shows how sta...

... when you had the chance to. Over the years I finally realised that it you see something you want/need then don’t dilly dally, just get it bought. Because if you don’t when you finally get around to it the item may no longer be available. For my 1100S I always intended to buy a rear seat cover f...
