What a Rolling Road Tells You, Danbury
QBS Powersports, a Yamaha dealership and motorcycle specialist in Heybridge, Maldon, can help with dyno diagnosis and engine tuning at its premises on The Causeway, for riders in Danbury and across Essex. A dyno runs a bike under load on rollers indoors while its output is measured. QBS Powersports has its own dyno for diagnosing running issues and tuning engines.
Why would a running problem need a dyno?
A dynamometer measures an engine's output while the bike runs on rollers, under load, without leaving the building. The QBS Powersports workshop has a dyno of its own, for tracking down running faults and for engine tuning.
Hesitation or a flat spot often hides until the engine is working hard. A dyno recreates those conditions repeatably, so the fault can be seen and the fix proved. It is the honest way to see whether a modification has worked.
What is the best scooter brand in the UK?
There is no official ranking, and the right scooter depends on engine size, licence and the journeys you make. As a Yamaha dealership, QBS Powersports lists the NMAX, XMAX, Tricity, RayZR, NEO's and TMAX.
Why do so many riders near Danbury choose a naked bike?
Hyper Naked is the name Yamaha gives its MT family. On the QBS Powersports pages the MTs run from the MT-125 through the MT-03 and MT-07 to the MT-09 and MT-09 SP. A naked bike has no fairing, so the engine and frame are on show.
What sells them is comfort in traffic, wide bars and a bike that feels light. The trade off is wind on the motorway, because nothing sits between you and the air. That is why a small screen is a popular early addition.
Do I need a license to drive a scooter in the UK?
Yes. To ride a scooter on the road you need at least a provisional licence and a valid CBT certificate, and L plates until you pass a full test. If you passed your car test before 1 February 2001, you can ride a moped of up to 50cc without L plates and without CBT.
How much tread does a motorcycle tyre legally need?
The law asks for at least 1mm of tread across three quarters of the tyre's breadth on a bike over 50cc, and visible tread across the remainder. Long before the legal line, grip in the rain suffers.
Whether a puncture can be repaired depends on where it is and how big it is. Damage to the sidewall or the shoulder means a new tyre. QBS Powersports offers tyre fitting and puncture repairs in its workshop.
