Hi all, First a bit of history: I previously owned a 99 TLR (31k miles) with standard mods, full RS3, TRE, PCII, and lower gearing in the back. That's all that was done, as far as I know (2nd owner). The bike was a beast. I could easily power wheelie in second gear (which is expected with...

Hi all! I have a 2000 Cagiva Navigator, and am really happy with it - I've only ever seen 2 others in Oz, so that makes me smile too... I've been reading through the site to find out how to cure its fuelling issues, though I am a complete numpty and will probably stuff it up. My main issues...

Hello all, just joined the site..cool. the last bike i rode back in the 80's was a kawasaki kr 250 tandem twin. The bike itch is still around so i'm back in the market for a bike. I always liked the tl1000s (love the twin sound) but have never ridden one. The tl1000r really looks great and this...

I am looking at buying a '97 TL1000S. It is owned by a friend of mine who doesnt ride it as much as they used to. My problem is I am a little unnerved by some of the things I have read up on the model. The biggest I have ever ridden before was a bandit 600, and I was just wondering if there is...

Firstly let me say hello :). I currently have a bandit 1200 (previous bike was a 2005 zx6r), im selling it as i fancy a meaty twin, ive been doing alot of reading and it seems the TL is favoured over the SV1000...when the suspension has been sorted out. From my understanding i want to be buying...

There's a discussion on another forum that's probably about to go ballistic, over break-in procedures for a KTM 990SMT that a guy bought here new ... people are suggesting the motoman/mototune whatever his name is method and getting quite excited when someone else says "follow the manual" ...

So ive nearly got my TLR back on the road after dropping it last year (i know, i know). Got some new pipes, fired it up after letting it sit for a few months. It would crank over but was quite difficult to get it to catch. Once it warmed up a bit it was ok. That was about a week ago. In the...

I have my motor torn down to get to the tranny. I had a problem with fourth gear. Turned out to be a worn out gear. Now shes ready to go back together, but should I change anything else inside the case? Like the oil jets?? She has 76 thousand on her.

I'm in the market for some new rearsets for my 97 tillis. I found some on eBay and was wondering if you guys could check them out and see if thier worth my money. The item number is ( 190337539647 )

Hello to all, I'm considering the purchase of a 97 s. I have read on the frame, ecu, and tb's. the seller says the frame is absolutely clear of cracks and has never been welded or replaced. He does have a ohlins rear on it so does that eliminate that possibility or is that only the biturbo one...

Hello all. I have been a member for a little while now but this is my first post. I have not felt the need to talk about anything yet because the TLZone family pretty much has all the bases covered. :cheers I bought a 2001 TLR about six months ago as a daily driver. I love it!!! It has...

Folks, I've just dropped a big ball.:banghead I've cut a brand new DID 530ZVM2 chain too short. I'm fitting an 18/40 sprocket combination and ordered a 108 link chain. It was far too long so I cut it to 106 links. It still seemed too long so I reduced it too 104. It's now far too...

Folks, I posted up a query on the general forum, but didn't get a definitive answer, but thanks to Moose and 133bhp for their input. I'll try here and maybe Sam can give me some advice? My chain and sprockets are on their way out. I have standard gearing on my bike and it suits me fine. I...
