By James Whitham on 21/11/2010 10:28:33
James Whitham’s step-by-step guide to keeping your bike in trim...
Changing your oil and filter is one of the cheapest forms of maintenance. For the sake of spending just a few quid, you can’t beat having good, clean oil.Even if your bike hasn’t done that many miles, if it’s been stood over winter or if it’s been

10R heads back home for some loving
By Ben Cope on 26/05/2011 11:32:14
First service on the 2011 ZX-10R
600 miles in, I dropped the ZX-10R back to Kawasaki UK for its first service. Out with the original oil, and a quick check of the cables was all it needed. I adjusted the chain when I replaced the original BT-016 tyres with Michelin Pilot Road 3s

miles. Superb.I finally managed to get her booked in for the 2500 mile service at Gifford Motorcycles (01784 245243).All it consisted of was an oil and filter change and a thorough check over of nuts and bolts, which was fine by me as I didn't want a

Living with a 2003 Triumph Daytona 600
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2003 14:18:31
We like Jon Urry, despite the fact he owns a 2CV. He is a very nice man and he reviews his Daytona 600 here using words and images
this as I forgot to load the road legal can into the back of the van when I picked up the bike.What's next for the Trumpet? Having boiled the brakes at Donington making up the distance on Aitch I have a new set of pads on order and I will probably change

Living with a 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 10/11/2003 13:54:39
It's big, it's old and a bit of a relic. But enough about Bertie, see how he got on with the monster GSX-R1000
August 2003In just two weeks and a shade over two thousand miles I've tried to give the Suzuki GSX-R1000 as good a thrashing as my pathetic skills could muster, with a track day, a 180 mile-an-hour blast down Bruntingthorpe's two-mile runway, daily commutes and a handful of Sunda...

Living with a Victory Hammer S review
By Everyone on 23/11/2009 12:06:06
We loved the Victory Hammer S so much after the test we didn’t want to give it back. We still don’t!
November 2009Back in the August 2009 issue, we tested the new Victory Hammer S against a Harley-Davidson V Rod Muscle. The Victory absolutely hammered (arf!) the Harley in every department apart from speed. In looks, presence, sound, style, paint and just total outright coolness,...

The vert thorough Tim Dickson five the mighty GSX-R1000 a year-long review. What's it like to live with?
the forks' feel further up the stroke.The mechanics of changing the oil level were covered in the December 2005 issue's DIY tip, and bear in mind it wasn't a five-minute job. Special tools were needed too, so you may want to get a dealer or suspension

Living with a 2006 Ducati Sport Classic
By Alex Hearn on 15/03/2006 15:56:19
Alex Hearn bought this Ducati Sport Classic to review with his own money. But he wouldn't be so crass as to mention that
used to address it, so I'm readying the molegrips and electric drill to release the pent-up decibels lurking in the matt black tubes.All in all just rigorous and regular oil changes for this gorgeous little motor, methinks, and less of the extended

Living with a 2008 Suzuki RM-Z250
By John Cantlie on 16/05/2008 10:14:14
John Cantlie reviews the RM-Z250 and reckons he has a pathetically mis-aligned mindset. We'd agree.
-ups, then...July 2008To date I’ve done two race meets and two practice days at Golding Barn on my RM250F, and it’s due an oil-change soon. But that’s it. The latest generation of 250cc four-stroke motocross bikes are low maintenance and a joy to ride

Living with a 2009 Harley Davidson XR1200

James Whitham's review of the Harley XR1200
for Yank film stars and big-haired stadium rock bands, but if you tried wearing a pair to your local pub on a Friday night you just looked a twat and risked getting a slapping.My whole thinking changed though (about Harleys that is...not cowboy boots) when
