Re: TLR ENGINE SWAP

It should fit physically but if you wanted to use the tlr throttle bodies you have some work to do with a remodeled air box and then you would have some loom work to do to run the bigger ecu.The power delivery is very different and without using the above mentioned bits then there wouldn`t be much p...

Re: Steering shakes at high speed

Re: Workshop manual for 2006 650ie

Re: air filter

Mine can be a pig sometimes so i guide it down by using a long screw driver through one of the holes on the front of the tank into the thread on the frame,then by a little wiggling i can get the other bolt in and the other follows fairly easily.
