hi. new guy here, just moved to the r1 from the blade and need some help would a damper fitting kit from a YZF R1 5jj fit the YZF-R1 4xv aswell? any help would be much appreciated. cheers

I finally got my 1981 Yamaha XS400 on the road after being garaged for 11 years...and totally legal to boot (Thanks go to Yamahead and MSchott99 for all their patience and help.) Now I need to get a helmet. I've pretty much made up my mind to get a full face helmet, and hopefully one with some ventilation. Other than that I'm not sure what I want/need or should consider. I was hoping that you folks could offer some advice and help me with the following: What type to get - brand/style? Where to shop to get a great deal? Thanks for all your help, and I look forward to seeing you on the road. BrewTrooper

Well I've just joined and am the new owner of an '81 Yamaha XS650 Special. Needs a little work but it's my first bike and was only $175. I'm here for advice, tips, tricks, and general ideas for repairs and restoration of this bike. Hopefully you guys will all be more than happy to help

Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Sam. I'm 20 and I cant wait till i'm 21 so I can take my big bike test lol! I'm looking to get a R6 as a first bike. Any yays and nays on this would be helpful. So HI everyone. Sam

Here!! OK GO-here it goes again

My bike's been nicked AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Just fitted a lovely Arrow steering damper as well. Thieving fuckwits. Rant over.

Apparently every year the town has an old bike festival...and today was the day! So off I went into town on the XT (with no battery or regulator in it) to check it out. Loads of European bikes, some of them with names I've never seen before. Only one Jap there from what I could see....an early 80's CX650 Turbo. Oh...and one Beemer! More on that later! So here's some shots....with some real weird and wonderful machines to see! They were all parked up on the central plaza in the town by 10am...... Then at 11am they all moved off with horns beeping and crowds cheering! Apparently they all ride up to the La S…

Still a bit early for me but intersted in what you get tested on and how it is

Does anybody have any idea what biking is to expect with this new EU multi tier system that is supposed to be coming in, or if it is actually coming in? If new bikers are to be restricted in CC / BHP does anybody have any idea what bikes fall in to what catagory? I was asked this question by a young friend of mine who is 18 and wants to know whats going on, and basically I dont have a scooby!

Hi All. Can someone help me, I have a xj600 1990 with only 12000 odd miles on it and its now running poorly, I've put new plugs and air filter on but with no joy. It seems to be chocking up with fuel and missing after about 15 mins of running and wont tick over.And then fails to re start. The carb are clean and fresh petrol. I can clean the plugs and the next day it starts but all of above happens again. Anyone out there with any idea of whats wrong. Thanks Jon
