    New V9 Roamer England

    Congrats on your purchase at a good price. I keep thinkin of changing my breva and tested a new Triumph Speedmaster. What shocked me was the rusty front disc and chain the saleman said it was because the less than a thou demo bike gets wet during the day. It's seems Triumph don't honour...

    Breva 1100 Matris Cartridge Fork Installation Report

    Lost me in the detail couldnt see the nitride sliders that wear and cause all those filings in the bottom of the fork leg. I guess the V1100 is aimed at two up touring because its suspension I find to hard. I replace the seals on oil on my fronts put a little extra oil in to try and save the...

    Breva 1100 Restoration Project

    Awesome technical content all a bit beyond me but unless your a tree hugger the single biggest performance improvement on the B11 is a decat. The bike revs noticeably quicker at idle with a crossover. Now I only have bikes that are decated, had a Husqvarna, now deceased and current stablemate...

Your forks will need work I put 15W in my forks and over filled because the sliders were worn inside and I didn't replace them. A bit firm on the front end...

    reassembling Breva 1100 forks

    Looking at the 2nd fork I cant get the lower leg bush out and I can see scratches below it so I'm thinking I should have replaced all the bushes. Maybe their is a tool you can insert down the leg to squeeze into the bush fork gap prising it upwards. Such at tool would have to have a right angle...

    reassembling Breva 1100 forks

    Sorry I am guessing remove the bush form the chrome slider and install it loose in the bottom of the fork stanchion. Now insert chrome tube in stanchion compress all the way so chrome tube hits loose bush and hopefully engages the bush. Gotta be a better way?

    reassembling Breva 1100 forks

    thks for the reply. U-tube videos dont seem to cover this fork as illustrated page 19 Breva parts pdf. I think you understand the problem the bush on the end of the chrome tube has to pass the bush in the top of the stanchion. I might be doing that but their is a tiny lip below the stanchion...

    reassembling Breva 1100 forks

    I used a slide hammer action to separate chrome tube from stanchion. When you look at page 19 parts manual bush 17 is on the bottom of chrome tube and bush 4 inside top stanchion. I engage the chrome tube into the stanchion it slide together a few cm then hard stop. So the fork is in the...
