I have a while ago converted my dashboard from standard factory to all bright n fancy Chinese tat digital, and now bored to death with it not working properly, and want to revert back to an old school style, which does not use sensors but a rotor cable which plugs in the back of the Speedo, noticed in Haynes the yzf has one that screws in on the wheel but it's very vague for the fzs (2002/3).... could someone plz help me out..... thanks

Tenant has moved out of my mums rented house and left this in the garage. Motor out head off. What would be a good offer to ask to buy it?

Not been on the bike for a couple of weeks due to work, the crap weather and trying to rebuild my shower room but today I threw down my tools and said fuck the diy I feel a ride coming on. I'm ashamed to say that my pride and joy was absolutely coved in dust. It was a little cold but the sun was shining and the sky was blue and I felt alive for the first time in days. Went to one of my favourite haunt's and after a bite to eat spent ages chinwaging with another biker, bloody marvellous must do it again soon.

Fookinell, that's some fearsome flooding you guys are experiencing in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Greater Manchester looks like it has taken a right hammering. Hope you are dry and safe.

The RBL rep for Eccles came round to the scout hut last night and gave us our certificate for the poppy appeal collection. Not only did we beat last years collection by £300, but we were also the group who collected the most money out of all the collectors. Well done 3rd/1st Eccles scouts who collected £974.38

Hiya, basically I've got a yamaha dtr 125 2001 model and whenever you put into dipped beam the front light turns off, but the rear light is still working and when you put it on main beam the front light turns on but then the rear light turns off, I've fitted new bulbs still hasn't solved the problem if anyone has had the same problem or knows anything about it you'd be a great help. Cheers brad

got mine on Friday...any tips..and what should I be expecting.

Ok folks I wonder if you have any ideas about this, I want to mount my phone/GPS to the bike but it has no obvious mounting points on it, the bars on the FJR are not round as such so a "normal" clamp won't fit, been racking my brain to come up with an idea on how to mount the thing to the bike but can't think of a way round it, what do you all use? I want it to be waterproof obviously and not rattle around in one of those cheap grip things, a suction cup won't work either (don't trust them to stay on) I could just bung it in the clear part of the tank bag but then I won't be able to adjust it so any obvious or even obscure ideas would be welcome. Oh and there are no "spar…

Just wondered if anyone had ideas on preventing chipped paint from getting worse? Atm there is a tiny chip in the paintwork. I imagine overtime with weather etc this will get bigger. Any way to stop this? I had a quick look around and someone suggested super glue?

Ladies and Gents im reaching out in my time of need to ask if you would help me on a module on my NVQ which is all down to research and presenting reasoned arguments and evidence. The topic i have come up with for you all to discuss is the growing popularity in manufacture and development of electric powered motorcycles. Now im a big lover of proper fuel powered vehicles and it would be very hard for something to persuade me to sell up and switch to an all electric vehicle but the need to tone down the usage of fossil fuels is well and truly noted and these electric vehicles down have some promising potential. The two bikes to compare are the Harley Davidson Sportster and…

Needed a long range bike for awhile now. Never liked the Yamaha large 4T bikes, always preferred the Honda. Considered the CB750F or CB900F series but then this came up less than a mile from my house..so took the plunge. 1982 CBX1000 Prolink. Another icon from the late seventies and early eighties. Not as desirable as the earlier 79 model yet but think will get there as it has some rather big improvements. Don`t like the custom sprayjob..wud like to get it back to original silver/grey colour. Never seen one with gold rims. It has had a wider rim conversion to take a 160 tyre (which I think suits it). And has a beautiful sounding 6 into 6 exhaust. Only issue..2 of the …

So after 2 years, many close calls, one broken arm and a lot of money spent I finally have a full license. Passed on Tuesday on second test. Almost stopped caring half way through, thinking I'd failed but apparently not. Also had a wasp join me inside my helmet for the last half. Which was lovely.

These days I am a fair weather rider as all my riding is purely for fun but I do try to get out as much as possible all year round. Last Saturday after a brilliant days riding I had a reality check as the temperature plummeted on my way home and the chill started to seeped through my leathers. Unlike my previous textile gear my leathers are a snug fit so I can't wear all that crap I used to wear to keep warm so its time to invest in some new gear that I can wear under my leathers that will hopefully keep out some of the cold. Any suggestions that you guys and girls have would be appreciated.
