    Hey guys! Really sorry about asking this, I know it's a subject that's been done to death! So after several years in a bike shop being stored, I'm getting the bike back on the road (because for various reasons I can't afford a new bike right now). During its storage, the odd bit has been...

    I have carried out a top end overhaul on my TL1000s including the usual airbox mod. It is now difficult to start, runs roughly, wont tick over and after a short while stops and displays the F1 symbol on the dash. I have checked and rechecked the valve timing. The valve clearances are spot on and...

    Thanks in advance for any help. This is my situation: I turn the key on. No codes or warning lights at all. Side stand is down, clutch is pulled, ignition switch is clicked on. I hit the start switch and sometimes it turns over and starts, sometimes it just clicks (solonoid or starter?) If...

    HELP Please. I have an 01 TLR and it takes forever to start cold. Once I do get it fired up it runs like a champ and fires right up warm. If it sits for any period of time its really hard to start. I had the dealership check the valves and sync the throttle bodies as well as replace the plugs...

    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've got to admit, I was upset at having to sell my Ducati and buy a TLS for financial reasons and I don't think I'll ever be as attached to it as I was with the Duc but today I had a good ride and everything just seemed to click into place. It was one of those rides wher I was just chilled out...

    Just disconnect hi-beam wires and switch to hi-beam when starting. :) I never use hi-beam (sunny sunday rider) and have never been asked to prove hi-beam works by the cops, so i unplugged the 2 hi-beam wires from the bulbs and flick to hi-beam (no power) to start the bike and then low beam...
