Well these will make your stomach go over once they start be fitted to bikes, great idea though. https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/18/bosch-jet-thruster-motorcycle-slide-recovery/

Have lifted this from the Renault Owners forum im a member of as I thought it would be useful. I checked myself and came up clean apart from an old email that is now dead. Thanks to Vapulabis for putting it out there. Check Yourself Out Ladies and Gents, I have been made aware today during the most boring security briefing I have ever sat through, the deliverer of the brief so was charisma free he was actually sucking in everyone in the rooms charisma away from them, he was a black hole for it. However he did mention a couple of good things for people to have a look at and see what other people have on them or whether their details are being used for n…

anyone have any good maps for a 2016wr450f or a 2014yz250f? looking for enduro style riding but will have a go at any maps cheers lads, matt

Blackhat has now also reported the problem, which appears to be getting worse, with the blank page visibilty appearing to get longer, and I seem unable to respond to Blackhats report in RANDOM section, nor am I able to contact Alex as it says I am not allowed to message him. Would someone with Adminstration priviliges please report the problem. Thanks.

So today i done my first "big" ride since getting the bike in october. Proposed to the better half last week (don't worry, she said yes!) So took advantage of the nice weather to go look at a venue for the big day. Went upto inveraray for the day and it was actually much less daunting than i expected on the 125. Had a premonition that it would be a drag with a lack of power and that the no motorway restrictions would make it a chore. I'm happy to report that it was, for the most part, all plain sailing. The bike managed to handle the climbs better than i expected but I've now definitely experienced the dreaded numb bum. Also didn't seem to get to a stage…

More bikes are on the road, (not mine yet still needs an oil change) and the forum is awash with questions from the great unwashed. Start your engines tit Monday is coming....

I seem to be having a problem with the site and wondered if anything has been changed? The problem is the slow loading of pages with a 'white' page (i.e nothing) between each selection. The same happens when I go back to the Forums List to change to a different forum. The newly selected forum appears - then disappears for about 15/20 seconds before returning. I'm not sure I have explained it too well, but best I can do.

Hi does anyone know the size of the front sprocket nut on a dragster 125 many thanks

I have this strange issue with the clock: in March the clocks went forward 1h for daylight saving but I didn't fix the clock on my MT125 so it was 1h late (e.g. at 6 the clock would say 5). The other morning I picked the bike and the had gone 2h forward ?, e.g. at 6 the clock would say 7. Does the clock adjusts itself?

Hi Guys, yes its me! I know I haven't been around for a while, well years actually!!!! but you'll be pleased to know I'm still alive and kicking.....and so is the DT. I've just posted an update to the DT175MX 12v Conversion following a prompt from Alex and i thought it best to do a little post at the same time. The DT has been reliable and relativley trouble free and by that very nature there's been nothing to report on save for a big end failure a few years ago. However, a quick rebore and new piston saw the bike back up and running within a couple of weeks and back on the road getting me to and fro from work on a near daily basis. I've put just over 2000 …

Hi everyone, The latest edition of Influx Magazine, the motoring mag put together by us here at Bikesure, is out. Take a look and let us know what you think. https://www.influx.co.uk/edition/captain-fawcett/

Hi all, new here. So... I have been rebuilding a 1999 R6 that came to me as part of a deal, it already had LED rear integrated indicators. I fitted new LED front ones. Took it for an MOT and the indicators work fine with no lights on, but when you turn on the lights they go very slow or not at all. Now I am no good with electrics but have read similar posts on here that suggest it is a bad earth. I have no idea, I thought the battery was crap. It's been a labour of love but now I am getting the hump. I just want to be out on it. How do I check the earth or remedy the problem? Thanks guys, ride safe. Dan

Hi all I've just unfortunately had some little shits trying to Rob my yamaha wr125x they managed to snap the steering lock but luckily I got to them before they could get off with it. But now my steering won't turn right it will turn left and go back straight but won't go right at all any ideas to why?

Hi, I’ve just purchased a 1987 Yamaha Banshee frame which should be here in the next couple weeks as my current frame is bent so it’s just going to be a matter of swapping the parts off my banshee onto the shipped frame. I will be wanting to register the bike for the road so the main question is, when the frame arrives do I to notify HMRC to pay the vat due straight away or do I wait till the frames built then notify them? Do they charge me vat on just the frame ive bought or the market value of the bike when it’s built? The plan hopefully would be to get the vat payed to HMRC as soon as I receive the frame, that way once I’ve built it up it’s just a ma…

Hehehe
