Sky sports is free to some sky, virgin and other cable viewers this weekend. Man City v Everton starting soon.

I love this bike, but it only ran for 3 days after i bought it, and then it started to cut out It would basically feel like I was running out of gas and it would sputter out, but then restart afterwords. Anyways, the last time this happened, it just wouldn't start up again. I checked, and it has spark, it has fuel, and it's sucking in air with a clean filter, so what's my problem? I took a look in the carb and everything is really clean. It turns over and I can hear a little combustion but is just wont run. I did notice while holding the spark wire boot that I got shocked while looking for spark. Maybe an electrical issue? Ignition? Thanks for the help in advance.

ok i know this might sound wierd but i want my bike to back fire flames. it back fires alot now but i want it to spit flames aswell. any suggestions?

hi guys, just wondering if anyone else was at the grampian motorcycle convention on sunday ? what a beautiful day it was, even got to meet guy martin !

Just picked up my 99 Fazer FZS this eveing - all I now need to arrange is getting the restricter kit fitted (damn those politicians ) Any suggestions on where I might get one at a reasonable price that doesnt require me having to sell a body part ? Cheers

hi! have a little problem here with my fzr 400.... just bought it a few weeks ago and thought that i`ll have it just for fun and etc.... but now i want to register it, but i dont have any documents for it... so.. what should i do???

Just re-reading the and thought I would take a look at the Gov. e-petitions site again. For those not in the UK, the great people of Britain can start an on line petition and if it gets enough votes the government debate it. A bit like X factor but with better singing. At the moment more people want "Keep Formula 1 Free To Air in the UK" than "Britain wants referendum to leave EU" The best reading comes from the rejected pile, again a little like the X factor worst singers. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16300 http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16450 http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16445 http://epetitions.direct.…

I know there has been some discussion about recording rides. Here is an HD camera for £30 or so that can be fitted anywhere (well almost) and if you have a power take off, the battery charged at the same time.

I have just fitted a ct1 175 top end on my at2 125 however i cant find a 175 carb will i get away with using the 125 carb or maybe opening the main jet up a little

Hiya, Sorry for the inconvenience over the last few days, we've been moving to a new server, the move means that the site is now more scalable and ultimately faster. We've also just updated the forum software, gallery, garage and chat functionality to the latest versions, so please let me know if you notice anything unusual. Hopefully all is fine and there won't be any issues. Well fingers crossed! Alex

Hi guys does anyone no where i can get a throttle cable all three bits to fit a 72 at2 125 thanks

Hey girls and guys. I took delivery of my TZR125 yesterday and am very pleased with it. The bloke I brought it from said it was all ok and would pass MOT with no probs. The only problem we can see is that when your releasing the clutch to go the bike seems to want to die on us unless you put loads of revs in. It's also doing the same thing when turning. It seems to splutter, start losing the will to live and them you have not over rev it to get it going again. Any ideas as to why it is doing this? Thanks

Hi guys I'm after a pair of yamaha TDM 850 carbs? Anyone no some places to look? I have tried eBay but no look. Also after SD600 rubber mounts but no joy either. And feed back would be great cheers.

Ok I see we now have a nice shiny new look to the site and it is an improvement over the original "BUT" where have my photos in the garage gone? Only 2 out of about a dozen that were there and sad to say I DO NOT have the originals. Can anyone tell me if I can get them back and how? HELP!

Have just bought a new YBR and it is back at the dealers for the second time in two weeks. Most of the time it won't go into 1st gear from neutral. On one occassion it took about 3 minutes at a busy junction to get it in to 1st. Twice it has pulled away whilst in neutral (neutral light on). The dealer has said that it only does not go into first, a few times and that most YBRs are like that and there's nothing wrong with it. He did say after the first time he had it back that he had made a few adjustments and it was fine. I took it back and it was fine for the first 5 miles then it went back to doing the same thing. He said he has spoken to Yamaha technical dept. and th…
