I have a digital gauge on one of mine, but I looked at doing a set of analog gauges. You just need to figure out the wiring and set up the gauges on a mount. I swapped the temp into the gas gauge on...

When I have done my wheel bearings, I didn’t bother to freeze them over night. I drove out the old, cleaned the surfaces, and drove the new one in with sockets like normal. It didn’t take too much...

This happened to mine, one of the caliper pistons was stuck and not retracting. I would pull it off and see if the pistons move.

My scrambler 250 is rolling on KENDA K761 tires. They might be hard to find in 16s, and I’m running 130/90 front and rear, but they might be worth a look. V rubber also used to make 16 inch dual...

My scrambler 250 has the wide tires, but I found the taller rear made up for the width by changing the front steering angle. Plus I live in Kansas so there are a lot more straight roads than twisty...

Pull your spark plugs, running really hot can damage them and cause a no spark. It can also mess with valves, so I would do a compression test too.

Does Dunlop still make the GT501

Does anyone know if Dunlop still makes the GT501 tires for our bikes? My front is dry rotted bad.

Barring that, has anyone tried the KENDA RetroActive tires?
