Best way to remove exhaust studs without snapping

Cleaning a motorcycle race suit is maintaining it. Cleaning your motorcycle race suit is as important as maintaining your motorcycle. A well-maintained bike gives you a smooth ride, and a leather suit provides you freshness, comfort, and protection.

Hi, I'm new to bikes so apologies if this seems like a stupid question. The Neutral light on my YBR doesn't come on even when neutral is engaged and it probably just needs replaced. The issue I'm having is, no matter how much I search, I can't find someone simply describing where the neutral switch is on the YBR and I don't really know what I'm looking for. Thought it would be very easy to figure out but it doesn't seem to be something anyone is pointing out with clarity. Cheers, Oran

How's it going every one? I've not ridden bar a couple of hire mopeds on holiday since I brought my tiger to squires and we went on ride out to Scarborough. That's got to be atleast 5 years. Sold on and left without a bike was a big difference in life cause I used to ride me, far and wide in all weather's and all hours. Met some great people attended some great days out. How I never got any points or anything I'll never know cause I rode that TDR singing all the way. It's still around. I kept it for a long time but unfortunately I couldn't keep it anymore and it's not with a lad I know in boxes. I've managed to track down my Tiger last month and delt fo…

Hi folks, Just thought I'd take the time to wish you ALL a Merry Christmas and hope you all have a better 2022. The forum has got a lot quieter since I first joined ten years ago, nonetheless I still visit every few days to read whats going on with you all. I still enjoy the banter, even if the bikes don't do many miles at all these days. Have a great time and enjoy your family time. NE0. Apparently I've got a new film out!..... Might have to go and watch it over the holiday period.😎

Yey! We can post again!!!

I am going to look at a 2002 XVSA 1100 Dragstar. Can anyone tell me the difference between the XVS and the XVSA? Is one classic and one custom?

So... It's raining... I've got rain wear, but it would appear that there's pinhole leaks in the trousers (probably from putting them on and taking them off) around the crotch somewhere. I'm going to put this down as being one of the problems of rubberised clothing. So, the question is: Does anyone make non rubberised wet wear? Gortex or just simply better quality maybe?

Hoping someone else has had this problem??? 2000 XJ900S, turn the bike on and ignition lights etc all on. Hit the ignition and I hear 2 clicks and then everything goes dead. No lights/horn/etc. Turn it on and off and still nothing. Go back half an hour later, disconnect the battery and reconnect and everything lights up again, but hit ignition again and 2 clicks and dead again. Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks. Paul
