I use a gel seat pad made here in the UK. I'm not sure it's necessary, but as my paralysis prevents me shifting my weight around so the gel allows me to spend several hours in the saddle in one...

The manual recommends a small dab of blue loctite on the bottom thread only.

Ash not Oak. Just like a WWI aeroplane.

I found the RT to be a bit fat and lardy. I came here as a disabled ex-biker (Buells) and really couldn't stomach riding round on what, to my eye, reminded me of a Gold Wing. The ST without it...

I posted on this a couple of days ago. Over here (Scotland) my STS lights are next to useless on dip because the fog light positioning is a cost saving compromise and nothing more. Certainly not...

Thanks for that. Where were they from exactly? You're right, we have great roads, but I don't like to shout too loudly as it only attracts the boys in blue to spoil the fun!

I've been using an iPhone 5 for SatNav with Maps originally, then Co
pilot and now TomTom. All work, but Maps is limited by 3G/4G coverage whereas dedicated apps hold the full maps. Co-Pilot was...

I have a 2013 STS and I'm generally very happy with it, but I have an issue with the headlights. I'm in the UK and we drive on the left, so the dipped lights dip the wrong way. The solution to this...

I use a Sena Bluetooth headset with my iPhone and it works well, but wind noise can be a pain and overpowers the music. However, with custom moulded ear plugs in, the wind noise is suppressed and the...

I read somewhere its 22 litres or half the existing models. The saddle bags are also smaller at 33 litres on the touring package. A total of 55 litres compared to about 90 or so on the ST or RS with...

Helmets aren't mandatory on a trike in the UK (they are for bikes), but, despite being a believer in individual freedom, I wish they were! My son likes to ride pillion, but it's a fight to get him to...

Yup, that would get you 3 points on your licence here (12 for a ban) plus a cash fine!

Thanks Billy, I'll take a look.

It's a 2013 STS SE5, and, if there's a guard, I can't see it and it certainly doesn't work!

I should also add that this is not to take away from the handbrake, which is a great piece of kit!

I have ISCI handbrake, but sometimes my foot seems to find itself under the pedal meaning that when you pull the lever, rather than slowing down, I just squeeze my foot! Normally this isn't a problem...

As OJ says, 158 isn't far from Alconbury. Actually, you almost couldn't be better placed in the UK as we only have two dealers and you are near one and less than two hours from the other (that I...

I use the SMH10 and it works great. I chose it for the ergonomics. No little buttons, just a phone button (that you don't really need) and a large knob that controls the volume by rotation and envy...

Mine failed quite early on (less than 1,000 miles) and it got replaced under warranty.

Aren't the screws covered, or at least obscured, by the oil cover and it's opposite number? Still, they're easy enough to remover - three clips on the oil side, three screws on the other. The...

OK my dealers fix, above, isn't working!

Wonderfully condescending! As a NEWBIE I couldn't possibly have a valid opinion now could I? The fact that I'm amazed that a tyre on a motorcycle of any variety can last anything like 6-10,000 miles...

I had this issue on my 2013 STS. The dealer fixed it by cutting down the bumper that the pedal hits when not being operated. He told me this was an official fix.

I'm puzzled by all this tyre chat. I've ridden biked for 30 years and had many, but rear tyres have always been expendable. 1,500 - 2,000 on the back of a Buell 4-5,000 on the front was about...

I came to the Spyder from an Outlander so know how you feel. The Spyder throttle is a lot smoother and clutch less harsh so you'll get used to it in no time. My biggest problem was trying to convince...

I both emailed and snail-mailed them on 29 April and sent a couple of chasers since. They replied two weeks ago asking for more information. I replied by return and I'm still waiting for their...

I'm 6'2" and ride a 2013 ST-S. I'm also tetraplegic (quadriplegic in American) so I'm a wee bit stiff (to put it mildly), but I was fairly comfortable except that, not being able to shift my weight...

Now, there's where I disagree, that position looks contorted and agonising to me. Clearly, each to their own!

My ST had these grips too. They came with my left hand throttle/brake conversion. Only thing is, I hate them, big and chunky and give me blisters. And, worst of all they look like they should come...

Same issue for my ST. Needed a new ignition switch. Dealer fitted it, but, as you say, they were only allowed 1.5 hours and it took much, much longer. They weren't happy!

Now, a slight worry. I...

Not so. The red one in the spy shots has a clutch lever.
