If you put everything back together again like it was then the running lights should be working fine. You've either re-installed it wrong or you've shorted a wire or you have a burnt out bulb. Hard to tell. Check your wiring again to make sure there are no breaks or shorts then check your bulbs.

Unless this particular engine is different from every other engine in the world a blown head gasket will blow coolant into the cylinder which will blow past the rings into the crankcase. The other option is a cracked head or case, which is a worst case scenario. Usually if the water pump oil...

Any bike that can handle any kind of jump is going to be compromised if you shorten the suspension. Of the japanese brands the honda xl650 is the most dirt worthy, the kawasaki klr 650 is the shortest but better for the street and the dr650 is in the middle. KTM makes some interesting bikes from...

You can expect about approx. 19 kms/l or 40 to 45 mpg US. I've never seen one on the road only in the showroom. Depending on the region I would expect anywhere from 8 to 15 k for average mileage in 4 - 5 yrs. I put on about 5 - 6 k per yr and thats as a daily commuter.

Motorcyclist test show the R6 to put out 109.7 hp at the rear wheel and the GSXR600 109.0 hp. Most of today's bikes are so close in performance that it depends more on the rider's ability than on the machine. On the street you will never even begin to approach the top end of either machine even...

The trailer hitch is a pretty sturdy connection but not always secure. There have been a lot of trailers that have separated from the tow vehicle and ended up flipping and getting crushed in the process. They were never designed to carry passengers and their thin skins and structure will not...

Come up to Canada, we still get them here. Buy one here and ride it back. Best reason I can think of for a great ride.

Limited Speed Vehicles don't require any MOT test if they do not exceed 20 mph/32 kph. If they do, you have to write the test for motorcycles which includes the general road test for any driver (car or bike) plus the info related to just motorcycles. The road test involves riding through a timed...
