    Front Fork Oil Weight

    About to have a set of Progressive front fork springs fitted and am trying to decide what weight of oil to use, the manual states 5w oil but some seem to recommend to go up to 10w oil. I am basically looking for comfort more so than handling prowesss, do you think that the 5w would be okay or...

    Front Fork Springs Replacement

    After having replaced the rear shocks with the 440 Progressives I thought I might as well do the front, I have ordered the progressive springs, question is can I replace the springs on the bike without dismantling the front end, also do I need any special tooling to do so? If it is all too hard...

    Looks Like It's Upgrade Time

    Recently my bike has been making some unusual noises, the noises felt like they were coming from the drive line more so than the trans or engine, it was a clattering sound like a handfull of rocks in a tumble dryer; this had been getting progressively worse, also not sure if it is related but...

    Keeping Your R3 Shiny

    Just wondering what you guys do to keep your R3 as new, in the past I have always used either Meguirs or Mothers cleaners and polishes, but am not really happy with them as I seem to have little success with removing the spiderwebbing; although this does seem more prevalent with Black paint...

    Guys I am in the process of deliberating on the way to go for the rear suspension on my 08 R3 Standard. One solution is to replace the shocke with something better (expensive) the other is to fit some after market springs to the shocks. My contact is able to provide and fit suitable springs...

    Guys I posted earlier regarding the prohibitive cost of obtaining a Clearview screen, since then I have found a local manufacturer that will make a screen to my requirements at a reasonable cost. My question is what are the dimensions of both the OEM Touring screens and the Clearview, can...

    Was Disappointed With The GIPRO

    After the install about a week ago I had initially placed the display in a position where it was out of sight and could not be easily seen by me because I didn't think that I needed a gear indicator. After going for a ride I came to the conclusion that the GiPro ATRE was a waste of money in that...

    TORS Tune Question

    Just fitted TORS, Cat Delete and under seat K&N with the air ducting removed, prior to having the tune installed (20226) there was a fair amount of decel popping; with the tune there is still some popping but not excessively so. My question is, should the tune (20226) have eliminated all of the...

    Floorboards or Pegs

    Been debating with myself (a one sided debate) whether to change from pegs to floorboards on my 08 standard, I recently went for a ride on an R3T and found the floorboards more comfortable than what I thought they would be. What do you guys think of the floorboards versus the pegs, replies...

    Cat Delete and 12 Minute Tune

    I have a cat delete that I purchased second-hand, until I receive my new mufflers (TORS) I was thinking of fitting the cat delete now, if I did this would it be sufficient to just do a 12 minute tune until the TORS are fitted and I can get a tune down loaded from my dealer? Peter

    Are Oils Just Oils

    Iv'e noticed on the R3 forums that a large majority of owners use full synthetic in their bikes; my dealer recommends and uses a semi-synthetic (Belray EXP) which is what he put in the bike during the first service (800kms, 500mile). I on the other hand, believe that the R3 would benefit with...
