Hi there hope someone can please help. I have just bought a 2002 yammy dragstar xvs 250. Very good condition, just had a full service with new plugs/etc. Everything was perfect for a few days and yesterday I managed to hit the on switch on the oxford heated grips as I left my bike standing. I came back about 2 hrs later and it wouldn't start, but a little red light on the oxford control was on so I knew I'd knocked it on previously. The electric start isn't working, just making a clicking sound. I bumped the bike and that works fine. So I picked up a battery charger and put the battery on for about 3 hours (it is the correct constant charger for the battery). I…

can any body out there help me? I brought a Virago 535 last year so know very little about this bike, I got it out to clean it the other day as I am wanting to get back on the road and to rallies, I fired her up and she was running fine, then the following morning I went to go out on her but she just wouldn't fire up, she is sparking fine, theres fuel in tank but no fuel is getting to the carbs, I took the fuel pump off to see if that was the problem, I wired the pump to the bat' but even that is ok & pumps the fuel but when I wired it back up the pump wasn't working again.any help would be grateful in solving this problem

Ive been looking at some phots and vids of bikes in the good old USA and the majority of the footage is taken on long straight roads which is great for Dragbikes and old people in wheelchairs but not so good for those of us that like making contact with our knees and the tarmac. Where as parts of America have glorious weather for riding all year round I wouldnt sacrifice this for Britains bendy, winding roads especially the "Black Isle" in Scotland or "Snowdonia" in Wales, or even Dartmoor in England. I would be v.intrested to see an American rider taking a fast corner on his bike, that is if there are any American's out there that have been around a bend on thier …

Does any one know what the implications of insuring a bike that is recorded as a category "D" write off. The bike has been repaired and no inspection / police visit has been necessary. How does one value it, and what happens if its stolen / written off again, how do they sort the claims value?

Had a great day out last Sunday…… Got up early & rode to Central Oregon for a day of proper DualSportin’ with my 1-armed fellow XT pilot who lives in Bend (lucky bastard) Arrived in town about 8:30 & immediately had to get some pics from the top of Pilot Butte whilst the old Beast was still reasonably clean…. I then met up with my mate for some killer breakfast that his wife so graciously stirred up…. We then spent @ least 25-30 miles riding on 1 of many endless trails that can be found over here…..absolute DualSport Haven! We then ended up here…… About 5,000 ft. elevation looking up the backside of my favorite Ski destination……..9,…
