Re: Photo of Dennis' old W in an art gallery?????
Jim There's a web site where you can frame any photo in a variety of museum venues, I forget where it is but probably can find it again if you like. I no longer own the W, sold it to a young man

Re: thoughts on a loud snapping sound when starting the engine
I think that a torque wrench works on the same pressure whatever the length of bar as when it reaches the correct torque it clicks and won't go any further. I realise that if you use a long bar you

Re: thoughts on a loud snapping sound when starting the engine
I tightened my spark plugs with a toque wrench to spec, but have been thinking ever since that I did them too tight because: a) I oiled the threads, which must make it easier to tighten; b) the long

Dennis, What is the story on the photo at the top of the Wriders web page of a photo of your old "W" in what appears to be an art museum? If this has already been explained, I somehow managed to miss

I can only speak for what I found while riding a Majesty until 12 months ago. I now own and thoroughly enjoy my W which in my mind is what a motorcycle should be like. I also rode motorcycles of all

thoughts on a loud snapping sound when starting the engine
In the past, I've read where others, including myself, have experienced a loud snapping sound, like an electrical arcing, just after the engine was started. When checking my valve clearances a few

Re: accident - NWC
Not sure that's so true now. I've had scooter riders admire the W650 and I've seen some very nice scooters. The vintage motorcycle run we saw in Belgium met up with a big scooter run for a huge joint

Trail rear tyres (like Triumph Scrambler) retaining handling (or 17" rim?)
Hi Folks A long shot, but I could do with some advice! Having bought my W on 7yr old Kaccolade tyres, and cutting down mudgd etc for a more Scrambler look, I fitted Trail Wing tyres: on the front, the

Re: FW: tyre wear on W 650's
That sounds encouraging, I hear tales from other bikers of them having to replace tyres every 2 or 3000 miles...but they probably have bikes churning out 3.5 million BHP.
