Hi everyone I'm new here. I recently bought a 2008 rc8 with 9k miles but it has been too cold to ride it yet. I noticed on Monday that the coolant level was a wee bit low so I topped it up to just below the max and put a bit of tape on the bottle so I knew where it had been filled to. I started...

My 2008 RC8 got 55000km's. On inspecting valve clearance & fitting new tensioners, found out that one of the camshafts was completly weared out. Was a matter of time it would have broken in pieces. In other LC8 fora there's been some mention 'bout pitted camshafts and not to worry that much...

Hi there, Anyone replaced their grips with aftermarket ones? If so which bloody ones fit? Redline say that the throttle tube is ribbed so aftermarket ones are a pain. B&C say any of the Renthal grips will fit. I just want some new grips that aren't rock hard like the originals.

Hi guys, You've been really helpful when I've asked questions in the past so with this one I thought I'd contribute. Purchased the ZenOverland full SAS removal kit thinking an hour's job and all would be done. It took fooooking ages and there aren't many guides out there. I will add to this...

Hi everyone, I've got an RC8 which I love apart from when my Mrs starts her Duc 749 and I can't here mine anymore. I don't have the cash for an Akra so looking at the other options available, the only thing that looks like it's good is the JC Exhaust. Having listened to the clips on youtube...

Hi there, bought my first KTM last month and I absolutely love it. A few mods to come once I've got my wedding out of the way. Apparently you can't buy carbon when you've not sorted out the centrepieces.

It promises increase of 6-7Horses in combi with enchanged engine mapping & use of a KN air filter. I'm in doubt. Would like to test it though :dozey:
