As some of you know I picked up a couple of Suzuki Bandit GSF400s from my local bike dealer that had been left or abandoned by the previous owner, I got them home got one running and flogged on the other one as it was a complete basket case, so finally got it finished a couple of days ago and decided to take it for an MOT back at the shop, long story short a slight tapping became a rattle and then as I pulled over to see what was going on the thing just stopped dead about a mile from home, got it back to the garage to find it's dropped a bloody valve and I have 2 broken valve springs, lots of swearing later I have it all apart and am looking for a pair of valve springs an…

I've been looking in on the forums for a while and thought to finally to create an account and post. I currently own a Cygnus and looking to getting a full license some time in the next 2-3 years . Plus I like heavy metal and games. Just got back from taking my scooter to Matlock (very nice place)

Is anyone having issues with their Tapatalk this morning?

went to Manchester Airkix on Friday and had a few pictures done I would recommend it to anyone, you float on a cushion of air and its nice a warm too anyway here are the pics at the end he takes you up higher and spins you round and then drop, great fun and similar to the way a helicopter feels

I am looking to hire a bike for the Taffy Dakar rally in May. Are there any good places near Swansea that do hires at a reasonable price. It does not need to be a high end bike. Wil

The wet weather finally got to me last week. looked out the kitchen window Friday and Saturday, still pissing down both days, just couldn't face another ride at 5.30am in the dark, rain, roads covered over with sheets of water that hide the potholes, took the car both days. I can't recall ever seeing the roads in such dreadful condition

Not a Yamaha, but does anyone have any personal recommendations of wiring providers. I will soon be making a new harness for my Can Am Bombardier and will be buying all necessary stuff shortly. I have done a t'internet search and a multitude of providers show up. Before I just jump in and buy, I'm looking any recommendations. My plan is to strip down the auld harness and pin it to a board as reference to lengths required for the new one, but any tips and hints (crimping or soldering) would also be greatly received. Drewps*, apologies if this needs to go in the workshop thread, if so can you do the necessary Edit....Meant to write DDT

Hi, Further to coming off my Yamaha XJ900F, I am in need of some assistance please. Upon crashing the front right-hand indicator broke off, so does anyone know how to wire a new one in please? I've checked through Google Videos, but can't see any videos there, so any assistance would be much appreciated please. Kind regards with thanks Phil

OK, time to make fun of Tasky... Do any of you good folks happen to know a UK shop that stocks the Custom Dynamics accent light known as Knight Riderz? Looks like this: I basically need this, or something similar to it, that runs off a 12V power supply.

Finished work for this week yesterday and today all I had to do was 2 quotes, luckily I already knew both the customers and figured it would be OK to turn up on the bike. All I needed was some good weather and it was as good as it gets for this time of year the bike feels better than ever, not only a great ride (about 60mls) but two new jobs as well.
