Hi....Just bought a 74 DT 400, can anyone tell me the best place to buy new parts for it in the UK? Thanks.

Posted this on the FB site too. OK tool addicts, get to treat myself with the proceeds from the fj trouble is I'm undecided. Dewalt do a 170nm impact driver and a 130nm impact wrench, which one? same cost. Driver has more diy use but less effective when working on the car, uses hex screwdriver fittings. But I have the adapters. Primary use is the bikes and the car, screws are low on the priority list but it is a plus i suppose, might help with chocolate jis crankcase screws? There are times, like the recent starter clutch when they are really useful. 130nm is a lot too, try it on your torque wrench. Dont want to be ripping heads off. I am go…

Can anyone help me? I need to register my YL2C US import, I don't have the Novo form; so I need to start from Scratch. Does anybody have any experience of how to go about it?

As we all know getting brand new pistons for the xj900f can be very hard. But over the years with trail and error I have found some available now.. You will find the xj900f standard bore is 69mm The Suzki 850 over sized is 70mm and the dome is 1mm taller.. I have designed and built my own Trike and the 1mm taller dome makes more hp the faster you go... The higher speeds means you will need racing oil... Please be careful. Thanks

Ok so as I said in another post my bike is hibernating till April, but I really don't want to leave the tank full cos the crap they sell really does degrade over the winter, so just cos I can I thought how do I get the stuff left in it out?

So a few years ago I bought one of those oil drain vacuum thingies from Machine Mart or some such, it is only supposed to be oil that you use it on but if you don't think out side the box every now and then you end up in one! So I have managed to remove every last drop of fuel from the a…
