Re: Heavy Duty Inner Tubes.

The lack of air was due to an untimely rupture of the inner tube, even though it was of good quality. For this reason I thought of placing something thicker, however, that they are thicker means greater heat retention, I had not thought of that. Now, does anyone use them on this type of motorcycle? ...

California and vintage BMWs?

Re: Idling and vibration R69 1956

Thank you so much! These are the situations in which a video would be appreciated (just kidding). :lol: I understand the theory, but my guessing is that it is more complex in praxis. (Certain level of ‘know how’ is clearly required). I’m pretty sure however that the origin of the trouble is differen...
