Haynes Workshop: Burgman 250/400 brake discs
21 December 2011
How many of us do more than just cast a glance over the brake discs? Discs don’t wear at a great rate, but modern pad material has an abrasive content which will form a wear pattern on the disc surface over time; plus disc damage is likely if grit gets trapped between the pads and disc; and a disc can become warped due to heat build-up under heavy braking

Twist & Go Green: The e-MO - One kilowatt wonder
20 April 2011.
Remember those old one-bar electric fires? I do; huddling over one as a student in a sub-zero bedsit scarred me for life. Their output was about one kilowatt (kW), which made it easy to visualise electric power. They were equivalent to 10 ‘old gas guzzling’ 100W light bulbs, which puts their power into perspective. Hard to believe, but in 2011 it’s possible for that one kilowatt (a mere 1.3bhp) to push you along at 30mph.
