Hello folks, sorry ive not been on recently. college and other things such as being on the bike seem to be taking over time to get the club. however here some pici's of my last outing. im loving the hornet (in a non gay way pete) its great. i even rode in the absoult p!ssing rain the other day just to see what it was like. its crap but now i now just in case i ever get stuck. so anybody looking into new tyres can't reccommend Dunlop D208 Race Replicas enough! but now i can't decide wether to got down the route of trackday or wheelie school yet. any ideas? anyway heres a few pici's! The lovely Lancashire Country side! And yes i have scribbled on my tyres 'cos im sa…

hi peeps i have an ultra short pipe on my 2001 R1,(bloody gorgeous) on a run last week the rev counter was reading 7000-zero, but it cleared after a few miles. the manual says this is an ex-up valve problem, it says it may cause engine damage ?? how serious is this, was thinking it is not recognising the short pipe i have got on, just dont want to fit the old pipe back on it, (well not until the first POOLE meeting anyhow. cheers rolls

I've been thinking once I get my full licence would I really need a 1200cc bike? Some of the two stroke 125's are capable of 100m.p.h. I imagine if I got a 500cc or 600cc it would be powerful and fast enough for my needs. What is the difference if any for example a 600cc and a 1000cc. I know the sizes are bigger but is it really noticable and can you feel a lot of difference?

Ok I have just got back from a trip down to Portsmouth, about 230 miles, and it normally takes about 3/4 of a tank there and back it's mostly motorway and dual carriageway so average speed is around 75/85, the bike is 30+ years old so not thrashing it, anyway yesterday it used 1 1/2 tanks of fuel which is way over the normal amount I have checked for leaks and split hoses (nothing) even looked in the engine oil to see if it might have drained down into the engine sump but no extra fluid in there or smell of petrol, so my question is were did it all go? I have cleaned the carbs in the winter and balanced them checked all the jets were ok & flushed the tank filter, ig…

Hi all, Iv got an R1 2001 with a harris high rise race can on it, but still got the normal headers with the exup valve. I have seen a set of micron full race headers and link pipe for sale, but im not sure if my harris can would fit as it has a long link pipe on it. It has been dyno jetted and has a K&N fillter fitted, i was thinking of taking the exup valve out to see if it makes any differents, to save me getting race headers. On the dyno it made 151 bhp on the crank and 138 on the back wheel. Has anyone taken the exup valve out , if so how much (if any) differance did it make. Your input would be very useful to me, ta, Tonyj

hello, i just signed up for this and I'm pretty new at the whole forum thing. i have a 2006 yzf 600r and i was wondering if i was to order an after market exhaust from a yzf R6 or R1 in the same year would it bolt on to my bike being that they are somewhat of the same bikes. If anyone could let me know it would be appreciated greatly. thanks jay

does anyone know if the 81 xj 550 rh seca came with a single exhaust or duel exhaust?

Hi there, I am thinking about fitting a pair of new cans for my fazer 600 S2, year 07. I was just wondering if anyone as already fitted some and if so where did they purchase them from. I have checked out a few web sites but not had much luck so far. I would appreciate any help. Cheers phil.

my bike, a 1976 xs 360, runs best with its mufflers off. Unfortunately, I cook at a resort up in NH where I also live and even though the bike is small, it puts out some serious decibels when those mufflers aren't on it and I don't think management appreciates the awesome sounds that this bike can make. I'm hoping to find a pair of slip-ons that will make my bike sound unique and hungry but not quite as loud as a bike with straight pipes while still offering no restriction to the airflow which exists in harmony with the up jetting I did last winter and the pod air filters I replaced those huge boxes with. I tried putting the old mufflers that were on it when I purchased i…

I just bought a 2005 yamaha v-star 1100 i was woundering if the yamaha 650 v-star exhaust will inter change or could you tell me what does interchange with this model of motorcycle? thanks

any idea wat i could use to clean my exhaust on my tdr to bring it back to new

Hi guys. Just need a bit of advice..... got an FZ400 with a knackered exhaust. Obviously a replacement isn't easy to get hold of..... would I be able to fit a can from an FZ600? What problems would I come up against trying to fit one from say, a CBR400? (Apart from the obvious thing of the brackets being in a different place...) While I know quite a bit about cars, and have done a lot of the mechanical side of the bike, I really don't know about this type of thing and boy do I feel stupid lol. Cheers for any advice :-D

im wanting more power out of my 1997 DT 175 so far im thinkin changing size of sprockets and an exhaust. does an exhaust help much on 2 strokes and if so do i just put it on and go or do i have to re tune it

Hi guys one more question and hopefully my bike should be up and running, I'm replacing the entire exhaust system on my 125 Virago and need to replace the gaskets, are they all universal size or anyone know a good place to get them quick Cheers

Does anyone know where i can get a pair of exhaust sheilds for my TDM 900 04, had a bit of a spill on brand new tyres , and screwed mine up, dont mind buying new if anyone knows what theyre really called! Please help me out on this as my bike dont look happy at the moment.

Hey Guys jonny here and i know its stupid but my Yamaha TZR 50 Has a Really "tinny" Sounding exhaust... its a 2 stroke 50cc, and i really hate the noise, i see little 50cc peds now a days that sound better, i just wanted to know if theres an exhaust i could get that would give it a bassier sound to it, more like a roar instead of a scream. Thanks guys.
