Why would you want to open the seat, when you are sitting on it!!

ABS is designed to stop the brakes locking, so as you apply the brakes, if the system senses the brakes locking they are released, this happens very quickly that the riders normally does not notice but provides smoother braking. Also note that your brakes are combined.

I would advise AGAINST changing from a mineral oil to a synthetic, or vies-versa without an engine flush. Mineral oil will cause the synthetic oil to breakdown and loose its lubricity, this is a known issue, regardless of engine use.

Good practice is to apply copper cote/slip, of similar named product.

Hi everyone, I am Jim and live in Somerset, and have just bought a 2015 Forza 300. Now in my late 60's I have been riding since I was 16 and started with Lambrettas. A bike accident in 2018 saw me right-off my VN 900, and to get back on bikes bought a 125, but it was just underpowered, which has lea...

Hi I have just bought a second hand bike that came with that kit, though I don't plan on using it. Is there much of a second hand market for these.
