Advic please
Hi need your advice for serious problem! I suspected for some time now that the misses has been cheating. The usual signs; phone rings, if i answer the caller hangs up, going out with the girls a lot... Anyway last night about midnight i hid in the shed, behind the motorbike when she came home & got out of some ones car she was buttoning her blouse & took her panties out of her purse & slipped them on. It was at that moment i crouched behind my motorbike & noticed it... a hairline crack in the engine mounting bracket.. Is that something I can weld? or do I need to replace it?
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
