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

Hi everyone, Im new here and so I disnt know where to start so I just thought to post my issue here. I have a YAMAHA ENDURO 125 DT it all runs good and clean. Uphill no problem. But as soon as I start climbing down the mountain it starts choking and the exhaust starts to pop loudly. I try to give it some gas it wants to go nowhere it just chokes and you hear like a deep muffled sound. Bare in mind this only occurs when going DOWN the mountain and even after I come to a flat area. I tried everything. I cleaned the carburetor, checked the YPVS even thought to leave it open static and not automatically. Still nothing. Tried new spark plugs. Still the same i…

Okay so I have a 1982 seca 400, the tank is basically trash. It leaks out the cap it has a new leak out the side of the tank. It’s just done. I can’t find a direct replacement any where. What would be a tank I could get from another bike that would fit? Any help would be much appreciated!

I got a email of pissbucket today telling me I need to upgrade my account, no thanks I'm off to flikr, I read Jimmy saying somewhere that it turns out he's been registered there for years and forgot, same for me don't remember doing it but found loads of old pics on there I'd forgotten I had, just family stuff no bikes. But thanks pissbucket as I wouldn't have found them without you.

Hi all I have restored an Aprilia RX50 2010 for my son to use, it was just general wear and tear and an engine rebuild. I'm not sure if its a problem but on tick over the head light is very dim. if you raise the revs to around 3000 its perfect, the headlight works on AC straight from the stator. I have read that this normal on a lot of mopeds, my real question is that will it pass an MOT like this ? any help greatfully received nige

So I have this xt250 which I'm doing a bit of research on. The exhaust pipe has three fixing points for the muffler cover. However the muffler cover I have which seems correct from all the graphics from the web and also from fowlers website, only covers TWO fixings. So my question is, can anyone tell me which bike the three fixing exhaust might be from? That way I can either buy a muffler for this exhaust or try to source an xt250 exhaust. Also, the bike seems to lean over A LOT on the side stand. Can anyone give me an exact length of stand, I'm wondering if it's not the correct one? Thanks

Hi guys ,I am changing the fork seals on a neighbours scooter the handbook says amount of fork oil is 130cm# anyone know what this means, thanks

Hi guys, I've searched and searched and searched and can't find anything so need your help. My left light (under the speedometer) has turned off, I'm looking to get a replacement bulb but had no idea what bulb I need to get? It's a YBR125 Custom 2010/11, any help on this would be awesome! I've looked through the boards and there are a few posts on this but not a definitive.

Hello, About to buy a PW50 for my daughter but have reservations about how legitimate the frame and engine numbers are, could anyone advise?

Long story short my uncle is retarded and forgot how to tighten a sump plug, so now I've got to find a sump for a KZ900, problem is anything Z related is like fucking gold dust. Anyone know of a UK KZ specialist that might have one for a reasonable price? We where planning on just having a new thread tapped into it, but it seems the sump is cracked, or at least it apears that way, could be a casting inperfection but he doesn't wanna risk it.

Good day Guys an Girls Hope all are well. I am Tony Laranja from South Africa. I recently bought a 92 Yamaha TDM Twin 850. Now my question is this. Is it a rear collectors bike? Reason fo asking is as follow. 1. I surfed the net an tried to find one just like mine but no success. 2. Why I say that? Mine have the single sided swing arm at the back with a back mag wheel almost the same as some VFR's. 3. After consulting with the only 2 owners before me...they confirmed that the bike is in the original state like when bought except fo the obvious aging on the bike an that nothing has been modified or changed except fo the exhaust system. An the seat…

Hope you all have a good one, I've got a houseful including my 2 year old nephew. Thought I'd share this
