The Bar

Hi, Let me introduce myself - My name is Hasan and I'm from the East End of London. I've got two RXS100 (the '88 one is my spares bucket and the '90 is the daily runner) but I seem to be having slightly problems with power... Now I know these machines are not built for speed, but Ive read of people doing at least 75 whilst mine struggles at 65-68 (even with my head down)... Ive pulled the whole exhaust off, cleaned the baffle and ran some injector cleaner to help with the jets, but I still can't get power I want from her. Also, the power band doesnt kick in until 5000 revs, is that normal? Can you think of anything for me to check which might help? …

here is a local case that has been going on for a while: http://www.highlandradio.com/news.php?articleid=000004299 i know the speed was mad but good on them local cops must be going mad now

How do you post in the 'For Sale' section? I know I am a newcomer to this site and there has to be a certain amount of security but I have paid the subscription fee and still I cant post in that section. Its just that Ive got a genuine Yam manual (XS500) and a Cycleserv manual (TY250B) which are of no use to me. Ive tried contacting a mod with no success. ATB J

Hi - I need some advice. I've recently bought a Dragstar XVS650. It came with low, 'T' type handlebars. I would like to fit more laid-back, cruiser type bars. I don't know what size to get, nor do I know where to measure the 'rise' of the bars from. I don't want the 'Hanging Ape' look, I something a little bigger than the standard 'stock' bars that come on the original. Can anyone help me with the sizes?

I loved my XJR1300sp 5 happy years of grunting around with a big smile on my face, I sold it to keep a promise. The promise was a TZR 50 for my son. In May this year the small end bearing failed, the damage was severe but normal. One new barrel, head, piston, rings etc. When we called Doug Dearden Yamaha (Southampton) for prices of spare parts, we were told " we'll give you a price if we can do the work". We were on a tight budget so, bollocks to them! Now my little 6'4" son has a car, so, time to polish the TZR for sale. We need a coolant bottle lid and a pair of bar-ends, so off he trots to ParkRoad Powerbikes (Southampton), he's told that coolant lids come in a pack …
