Hello I've got a issue with my loom on my dt I've bought a new one and I've gone to put he cdi on and can only connect half the wires as there arnt enough coming out the loom

can anyone tell me what the throttle position sensor does on my bt1100

I bought a yn100 a few months ago as a run around for work it wasnt in the best condition so I decided to strip it off and make it fresh again, since doing this if seen alot of people have a handlebar conversion when I look it up I don't get a great deal of information, iv seen a few times the aerox is the same set up.. would apprechiate any knowledge on what's the best and where to source it from. Thanks

Hi there, I am a new rider of a few years (Not so new but consider myself new) I have just been out and was testing my revs on the bike. I was in first gear, twisted the accelerator a little bit, let it go, then twisted again and I zoomed down the road a lot faster than I would usually? Am I just a novice or does this have a specific name? Kane

Just picked up what seems to be a right bargain. Went looking for a car for the missus on Sat and looked at so much 'mint', 'one careful owner' garbage we were a bit flat when we started the puter up Sun for another search. There she appeared, 5 miles away, for peanuts. After all the crap we looked at I called the seller, could be a diamond in the dirt?. It was cheap because the mot was up and the alternator was toast. Have a Nissan alternator, (same) and my mate could get Fred Flintstones car through an mot for a pint and 20 smokes so I grabbed a tidy little 2006 Renault 1500 turbo diesel, with service history for........ 300 quid. AND the missus is …

Hi can anyone tell me why the pistons in a Yamaha cs3 have cutouts halfway up the side of the pistons. I have just removed the barrels on mine and the pistons dont have the cutout I think they are wrong for the bike, I think this is stifling the performance. Any ideas people. Thanks. Paul

Hi All, just rejoined the club as I am building a bit of a special xt600e as a keeper. Basically it is going to have an Acerbis tank, non-standard paint, alloy rims and full stainless exhaust. Just need to finish a dt175 and then get the xt on the bench. I have bought a running donor bike which has all of the bits on it I require and then will advertise the rest of the bike (most of it) on here. Tried to put photo of paintwork but file to big, will try to reduce and post. Paul.

I've just got back from my 1st bike trip to Europe, it wasn't without incident but was a brilliant trip. Really enjoyed riding with my daughter who did most of the organizing. When we disembarked at Dunkirk my sat nav had a hissing fit and we got totally lost but somehow ended up on the right road, eventually the sat nav got sorted and we headed for Bruges. I had a few more issues with the sat nav but got to the B&B in Bruges a bit later than planned. On Monday after switching to google maps we headed to Vianden in Luxemburg, about a 200 mile journey, after getting past the road works in Bruges the traffic thinned out and we had quite a fast ride to Lux…

Has anyone had an opportunity to test ride this new Venture.......thoughts????

Hi. First off let me say this seems to be the most balanced forum I've come across. A bit about myself. Mid 40's and feel like I want to strike off another item on the bucket list. I've been driving since I came and passed the advanced driver stuff with work. Stupid me want to pass the big bike test and get out there on quietist roads. Sensible me says 125 as it's a learner bike for a reason. Really torn as to what to do as I feel I've only got so much fast bike in me at my age. Any advice is really appreciated.

Ok folks just a quick question, just been out on the bike running well no major problems when suddenly I get this rattle, not there all the time and coming from the right side of the engine down low, only comes on at 4.5K revs and above and as soon as you throttle off it goes away. Oh it's in all gears not just top so I'm thinking it's a component and not an end type knock or clatter. I'm thinking cam chain tensioner has let go or on the way out but any other ideas ? Thanks lads.

I know its not a yam. Has anybody ever seen one?

hi does any one have a true fault code list, my engine management light comes on and flashes, worked out code 46 , any help please

Tommy called round tonight. He wanted to balance the carbs on his XJR It took longer to take the tank off than balance the carbs, although I have done it quite a few times. Anyway, we went out for a little bimble to Lymn Dam just coz it was a nice evening and we could next time you see these together will be in Spain, 4 weeks to go woo hoo

Hi all. New to the forum and just got myself a new bike. A 1993 xj600s diversion. Looking forward to getting it on the road. I'm looking to do a bit of a cafe racer / street tracker and wanted opinions on what people have seen and or done themselves. I'm looking to get some clocks and headlight like a xj600 N. but can't find them anywhere. Like I say any advise or help much appreciated. Also fairing dash and light will be for sale soon.
