General

As some will know I recently bought an XJ6 (loving it). I have noticed a few times, especially going around roundabouts the the front wheel seems to slip just a fraction then bites again. It's a little disconcerting! Tyre pressure is as per manual. I checked tyre and I can feel a flat spot in one area of front wheel just off centre. I did some research and it seems to be called cupping. Cause could be previous owners riding habits / my riding habits / alignment. I'm pretty sure it's not alignment. Any advice on how to best handle this? Should I replace the tyres? (They have loads of tread left - look almost new actually). Is there any option to re grade the sur…

I recently purchased a 1996 Yamaha Royal Star 1300. I am in the process of changing some of the items on the bike. Right now my bike has the stock seats on it. I have the chance to buy a Mustang seat, front and rear with back support and sissy bar for a very reasonable price. Right now they are on a 2005 Yamaha V Star 1100,could you let me know if they are compatible and will fit on my bike. Thank you in advance

Since the site changed my password not working. Every time I have to request new password thru email and only then (after entering same password every time) I get in. What`s going on..is there still teething problems?

Finally Tapatalk should now be working for those that use it. Please let me know if you have any issues. Still working through the longest possible bug list...

Hi, I bet that majority of us have some experience with accident claims, unfortunately. Mine is coming to an end, and I was being advised to open a personal injury trust to save my awarded sum into, if I am to protect my right to ever claim state benefits in the near or far future. I've never claimed benefits in my life, but one never knows what the future entails. My question is simple: are there any 'better than others' personal injury trust accounts? I cannot see any difference from one company to another so I wonder if there's anyone out there with more info. Thanks in advance!

got the day off today, but I should have stayed in bed.... car wouldn't start, so had to trouble shoot and worked out it was the leak off pipes, so £35 lighter, fitted them and then the battery was drained so had to buy a battery charger £29. So whilst that's charging, I did a bit more on the fz engine, the ratchet spanner I was using slipped upwards and got wedged between nut and engine, i could ratchet it but not get it back over the nut. so I've just left it for now,too hot and bothered and will have to grind the spanner in half to get it off (lovely spanner too) at least the car started and ran ok after a lengthy charge, but what a waste of a day

Sounds weird, but I am having issues with not being able to a) order membership (may have been taken down) or b ) see some parts of the forum as it just errors. Now working within IT myself, the store looks to try an auto link to a paypal account, but no payment selection options are populated (possible issue with the store settings on the sites cPanel), and the other pages that don't show correctly are either dead end pages or orphaned links. Anyone else having these issues (BTW, already send Alex a message, but he hasn't read/responded yet)

hello i own yamaha yzf 600r 1996 i just bought her 1999 YAMAHA YZF R6 / 600CC (5EB) - EVO BLUE FLAME TWIN OUTLET EXHAUST can anyone tell me if this fit my bike please thanks

Managed to get out yesterday afternoon after the rain stopped, went to Newlands corner my local bike haunt, got talking to an old guy (my age) who had just got back on 2 wheels after a few years off, he has just bought one of those new old 500cc Royal Enfields, I don't know how he managed to talk as he had a face splitting grin the whole time, it made my day to see how happy this guy was,

WTF, has page changed ? I had to sign in again , and its different format ?

I was on my way home from work tonight, riding from Wigan to Bolton when I passed a guy hunched over what looked like a pre war bike at the side of the road. I turned round and pulled up to ask if he needed a hand. Indeed he did, the clutch had failed on what turned out to be a 1933 Coventry Eagle Silent Superb and he was going to need a hand to lift it into his van. I spent a very happy 20 minutes chatting with Brian, the owner whilst we waited for his brother in law to arrive with the van. Describing the Coventry as his 'new' bike Brian told me his usual ride was built in 1903 ! In the 20 minutes I spent there a rider on an MZ also stopped to offer assistance and to ha…

Had a ride up to Darley Moor, took in a days racing. Grass roots stuff, 20 races on the day, and only £12 to get in. Loads of folk there for the weekend camping.

I noticed a couple of things with the update. You may (i was) have been logging in with your log in name, or email address. At the moment that will not work. In this update currently you need to use what used to be your display name. ie what is showed to the forum on your posts/threads. In my case cynic. Do not try to use your email address as the instruction suggests, that does not work. Hope this helps. A lot of the issues seem to be clearing up. So normal (sic) service will be back soon.

Hey guys Im currently riding an SR125. Great bike but really feeling the need for something bigger and two opportunities have just landed in my lap I have two mates selling a bike each. One is a virago 535 for £800 in good condition The other is a 1990 Honda CBR1000 Streetfighter custom build in great condition for the same price (tho i havent seen it yet, seeing it on wednesday) This friend has been building bikes for decades and his work is great I have been riding since October last year and passed my full test in april of this year. I have been looking at cruisers for a long time and the virago seemed like a logical next step enjine size wise but to be h…

Hope you have a good one
