It's probably just me (in my head) but I believe the V4S lacks front tire feel. If you've performed a basic sag you'll know the spring rates on the stock 2018 V4S are completely unsorted (which I hope to address this winter). That being said, one way to get some additional feel is to lower the...

Recently changed my rear header pipe on my 1299 the one that curls under the seat. The original one cracked at the engine. So I replaced it with a stock header pipe. Everything went very smooth. I turned on my bike and it shows a check engine light. Also after just a minute right at the pipe...

Well my name is Jonathan and I'm from Ohio/US. I'm the guy dragging knee on the S1000rr and knowing how much I love the looks of ducati but would never own one.... Then the v4 caught my eye.. Long story short the bmw hasn't moved from its spot since the Duc arrived... Im amazed.. It's got...

First time out today with new Shoei GT Air, changed from Arai Viper GT. First impressions of Shoei are good and i was glad to have a clear visor, with Pinlock, after getting caught in very heavy rain. GT Air has a drop down internal visor. The Shoei is much quieter than Arai, but i noticed...

I'm about to change my fork cartridges. Any considerations regarding the removal of the old ones? Can it be done on the bike or do I need to remove them? Can I leave the old compression adjuster screws or, do I need to find other bolts to shut the holes?

Ok, whoever designed the oil filter cover is a moron. That thing is a bitch and a half to get off and I don't see the cover itself standing up to repeated prying on an off. Had anyone seen any aftermarket options for this? Maybe someone should make one. Other than that it would be easy to...

Without taking cost into the equation, or a good deal, has anybody switched from Shoei to Arai? My current helmet is a Shoei XR1100, but with the Panigale, I find that it's being pulled up a fair amount. I'm tempted to move to an Arai RX7-GP or Quantum ST. How does the Arai compare to...

I'm trying to weigh up whether to change my seat. I'm not worried about heat or how comfortable it is, now that I'm spending more time on the track I find it quite slippery. I realise this topic has been covered many times but thought I'd raise it again to see who has changed their seat and...

Just thought I'd share an epiphany with you guys. I've been riding for about 33 years so I thought I was "experienced". A few years ago, I found myself in a situation where a track bike was warranted - by warranted, I mean there were two key deciding factors to buy one. Firstly, my son was going...
