tyre,
in Air Cooled
HI, in my gs manual it gives tyre pressure for rear wheel at 28/ 32 psi ,the tyre then was size 4.50v-17, but now using size 130,90,17 so is the tyre pressure the same, also is it still better to use a inner tube in tubeless tyre, cheers,

hi, any one been to the NEC show in the last few years, ive not been for ages but been told its not so good as it used to be due to not having many trade stands and it seams to be more about new bikes for me its more about looking around all the bits and bobs of the trade stands that makes the show worth going,

When I fit the tail piece on my gs1000 I do have to push the rear light down and backwards a little for the tail piece to slip into position, it doesn’t need much but moves just enough on the rubber mounts.

Have you the correct back light bracket?
Yes,tail piece drops down fine with out the light unit on, can't fit light in afterwards as you can't do up light bracket bolts,
