guys im considering selling my bike and for the life of me cant understand the ebay jargon can someone tell me straight how much does it cost to sell your bike on ebay and any ebay tips thanks

Friendlies and sensible people.... need some advice please.. I'm selling off some stuff on ebay - a couple of items that are all worth over £200 each. I've gotten a few emails asking if I'd sell privately and close the auction. The problem is that there are over 20 people watching one of the items and I think it would be a bit tight to cut them off. What to do ? Close it down and sell or leave it be and let nature take it's course ? Thanks - J

Hi Every One, I have to give a quick mention to Motad. They seem to be selling off a lot of their old new stock on ebay at the moment. Some of it appears to be really cheap. They had an 4-1 system for an XJ550 for £99 buy it now. I just got a 4-1 for my XJ750 for £129 delivered. I'm not trying to advertise for them but these are selling for less than second hand ones should anyone wish to take advantage.

If you are using these over priced pieces of shite on any of your bikes keep your eye on em, just took the wheel off my honda vigor and one of the pads came out with it leavng the backing plate behind, had heard of this happening too other people now i have had it happen, luckily not on the road

Anyone else have problems contacting ebike insurance. Seems that the complaints sites are full of problems! Took them 2 days to answer a query. Not exactly service.

I woke up this morning (always a bonus at my time of life), got the paper off the porch, made coffee, and sat down for a read. Turned to the classifieds, then went out and bought a 1985 XJ900! I wasn't planning anything beyond another cup of coffee! I only have two excuses: 1. I have never seen an old bike in such perfect condition. and 2. It's my 60th birthday soon. Oh, OK, and 3. I was bored.

Did 50 odd miles today with the eldest daughter on the back and she is really starting to get it. Only got headbutted once today, she uses the rack rather than me to hold on. Can really get a move on with her on the back now I can rely on her not moving at the wrong time. Actually enjoying the bike rather than worrying if she will stay on for the next overtake/bend etc. Only real pain is she rests on me under braking but that's improving with her upper body strength (hockey training) and the TDR front brake really struggles pulling up when the bike has a pillion. I may fit a blue spot for peace of mind. She is hinting after some leathers and boots now th…

click me to see seen this and it sounds interesting ....

I need some assistance. I have a 1979 Yamaha XS750. It is very used but runs good. I bought it from a guy and he said that when starting in the cold it would run the battery down and he used a combination on starter and kick starting and it worked. So it starts up, I ride it home, and it won't start back up. I check the fuses and one is blown so I replace it. When starting it gets warm and then blows. This fuse controls the lights and the starter and everything. Without it, nothing seems to come on. It had a 32V 15A fuse. Do I need to get a bigger one? The battery is a little old, is it causing the fuse to blow? Is there a common place where shorts occur?…

Hi all, First post!! I have an 84' TT600 that was recently givin to me. I pretty much had to put the thing together from the ground up because it was in pieces. I got it all together, hooked up the electrical, and went to test the spark against the block. The odd thing is, i am getting very strong spark, but it isnt just sparking on the power stroke, but a constant, steady spark throughout all four cycles. Then just a few minuites ago i pulled the spark plug, put it back in, and there was no spark at all. I was thinking it was likely either the CDI or the ignition coil, but that is just guessing. Anyone have any idea what my problem might be?

Yesterday i wantead to try the electrics on my fz 600 to see if every thing was ok after a year of not running, i replaced both coils with new ones, new re/rec, ing switch , i used one of the jumper packs to put some current in and every thing looked ok,i put a new battery on it today and have nothing working, checked earths, put old ing switch back on checked fuses and checked amps on new battery,what should i check now. solonoid if so how do you check them,what elese can i check, any help would be welomed.

Ok folks just a quick question, I am thinking of putting a new set of rear view mirrors on the FJR, I would like to use some with the indicator built in but the ones I want to use are LCD and the ones on the bike (front fairing and rear) are bulbs, so my question is will it matter if I just bung them on and connect them or do I have to use anything else to make them work? I know it's a silly question but I am stumped as to whether it needs a controller in the circuit or not. Thanks folks.

I keep my bike outside under a cover. Even though it is getting covered it is still getting wet with damp and condensation. I plan on getting one of those metal sheds, providing my landlord allows it! But in in the mean time is there a spray or something I can apply to my bike to stop it from rusting?
