The Duke's Pass isn't going to you an accurate consumption figure. It's all up and down and very twisty. Good ride though :)
I used POR15 with excellent results on a 900SS but I know a guy who used it on a Monster tank then had an expensive paint job done on it. When he...
Definitely not. I get 45-50 mpg and 170-200 miles to the tank.
Ah.. Yes, I was referring to the marks on the pressure plate and spring post. Nothing to do with the marks on the plates.
Yes it definitely makes a difference. There should be an arrow next to one of the holes in the pressure plate and a notch across the top of one of...
No need to replace the loom. I would open up the loom at the point where the damage is. Cut out the damaged cable and solder in a new section with...
Look at a speedo drive from an ST2/3/4 as they have the same spindle dia as the 749/999.
I used to be very sceptical about this but last year when fitting the brakes to the Pantah I couldn't get a firm lever on the front brake for love...
Remember that the 900ss has a speedo drive from the front wheel which the 749 doesn't. Although you may not need this on your project bike.

I repainted a Showa spring from a 900SS with yellow smooth Hammerite with amazing success.
The calliper most likely has a sticky piston and a good clean should free it off. Unbolt the calliper but keep the hydraulics connected, remove...
I used an Eezibleed for years for bleeding car brakes and adapted an old reservoir cap to fit on the master cylinders of my bevels. It worked...
I'd also suggest a rear shock upgrade. The rear shock is hard as hell although actually works better 2 up. The Desert Sled has a 21" front wheel...
Is the bulb in the right way round? I seem to remember that on these bikes it's possible to fit it 180ยบ out.
If that is the cause I'd very happy it was nothing more serious. 80 miles the wrong way round won't bother the tyre.
If there is a fault the electronics will just turn the DTC again
Good point Martin. It will interesting to find out.
Yes, mine broke in the pigtail from the main loom to the connector at the bottom yoke
The DTC uses the ABS sensors. If it loses the signal to one of the sensors it will turn off the DTC and ABS and flag an error. I'd have thought...
