Well, I can confirm that there is insufficient access to remove and replace the rear brake light switch with just removing the rear wheel and dropping the swing are as far down as possible after removing the shock. It appears that either the swing arm needs to be removed or the rear black plastic fe...

The bike a 1988 R100 RT. The center stand is not retracting when the bike is taken off the center stand. Rather, it's hanging up at the 45-degree point. I replaced the bushings, since the old ones looked a little worn, but that didn't help. The holes in the center stand for the bushings didn't seem ...

Agh! Old bikes. Rubbish, eh? My petrol tap has worn out the indents that make that lovely click in all three positions. No spares available but a new tap is at £40. I'm pondering how much I really like the clicks... It's odd/frustrating that you can buy replacement parts for almost all of the indiv...
