hi everyone. bought this fuel tank for my Yamaha DT50MX but it doesn't seem to fit (it overhangs the frame too much and catches on the exhaust expansion chamber. the blue tank in the pic is the one from my DT50MX, maybe someone could help identify the black tank? im pretty sure its from a trials bike as it looks remotely like a Suzuki TS tank.

Is anyone here a member of this scheme? http://www.lock2lock.co.uk/ Do you think it's a good idea worth signing up for? I don't know of anyone who's had their bike taken from a row of others, but I'm sure that it happens - perhaps being anchored to the bike next to you could help. I might be inclined to sign up if I thought that there were enough people out there doing it, but to be honest I've never noticed the stickers on any bikes I've parked next to... Not that I've looked very closely mind you. Any thoughts? H )

Right, hot on the heals of the trans-european trip, I'm considering a trans-america trip now..... Has anyone out there got any idea on shipping costs for a bike of say 180Kg's, to air frieght it from the UK to maybe Vancover or LAX ??

Can anyone tell me the difference between Vance & Hines "Cruzers" exhaust and "Straightshots"? I'm looking for some pipes that will give me the really powerful sound but not "too" loud - I'm about to get a Dragstar 650 Classic. Any other recommendations? Thanks.

We had a lovely day, didn't go on honeymoon, we're going to the GP in Valencia in October We went to Hein Gericke on Sunday...........I now have a new set of leathers to match my new boots..........I am now a Black & White Power Ranger Just need to pass my test! Got an Aprilia 125 to ride when I pass my CBT. It was a race bike so we need to get some lights for it and register it. Maria

Im looking for accomodation for myself and 4 of my university lecturers (all a right laugh!) on the 9th October (a week on Thursday) in Surrey. We will be arriving about 10pm and leaving first thing Friday morning to go to the Animal Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery centre in Eashing. There will be a financial contribution to anyone who can put us up too! If you can help please PM me. Cheers !

Now I wonder if this was deliberate or just unfortunate?

hi everyone anyone got any advise on how to get my bike back on the road??as there is no frame number!!the only thing i have is damaged vehicle sales invoice & bike reg no..alza..

Yesterday an annoying "feedback" tab appeared at the side of my browser when i logged onto the site and won't go away - it might go away if i leave "feeback" but i dont want to and am a tad pissed off i cant get rid of this annoying addition to the forum. And today - as if by magic - we have adverts at the top! Along with the MASSIVE signatures some members feel the need to have its all very distracting. Whats going on then?

Guys & Girls Due to a relocation at work I am going to have to sell my bike before I go. Just wondering if you could help me with a price? It is a 2007(57) Fazer FZ6 S2 Coulour is Lava Red Under 900 miles on the clock Has been garaged since purchase and well looked after, has just had first service recently. I bought this in March 08 from a Yamaha Dealer, paid 5k, was thinking of selling about 4k Any advice of price to sell, where to sell would be appreciated!

It didn't go off as planned......The boss gave my the ultimatum on Saturday afternoon.....told me I had to take my bike trip across Oregon NOW or not @ all!......Still don't know WTF is going on between her ears!! So, had to prep for long ride in 2 hours vs. the 2 days I had planned on.... Bike maintenence, packing of camping gear.....in that short of time, there was bound to be something I'd forget! & sure as Sh*t, there was......my raingear......spent 3 days dodging T-storms & fighting uncommonly high humidity for the Desert terrain I encountered. Across the pass....Mt. Hood viewed from east...... as seen from my favorite little Pi…

I know its not a yamaha but is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=015 a decent bike? It is for learning on and as a cheap commuter. What do you think it is worth. Also is the rear shock easy to change? Cheers

Had a 2008 FZ1 Fazer for about 1 month and previous bike had Givi monorack and topbox. So today new Givi monorack and plate fitted to fazer. I notice Givi whilst not explaining why say monoraqck only with MSM plate-whatever that is? Upshot my old case doesn't fit but oddly 'proper' yamaha topbox off wifes FZ6 fits OK!! So it appears to accommodate the yamaha boxes. Does anyone know about this and what other than Yam and Givi boxes will fit? Preferably cheaper ones as i only use the box twice a year. Thanks.
