The Bar

Going to be saying goodbye to my trusty wee Fazer 600 which I've thoroughly enjoyed throughout the even more satisfying 2 year restricted cc period (yeah, right) which is now over . I commute daily and use my bike when out visiting patients as part of my job. I really like the look of the TDM 900 as both a daily sommuter and occasional tourer. Was just keen to hear any thoughts on the bike as I'm unfamiliar with it and whether you'd recommend any accessories to enhance the experience ?? As always, cheers in advance

is 25000 miles classed as high mileage on a bike ??

looking for a manual for a 2006 ybr 125 ?

Riding home from work today behind some chump on a BMW who : 1. Didn't acknowledge a single driver for pulling in to let him past - and there were a few and 2. When I happened to end up sitting on his wing at the next set of traffic lights - I looked over to give a wee nod - ignorant git didn't even turn his head :madflame: What is up with some bikers ???? I know we can all have a bad day and would gladly kick everything in sight while on 2 wheels but I've passed so many bikers recently who are either legally blind and don't see me or must suspect I've killed their dog & slept with their wife - or is itt the other way round? Rant over ! Som…

i currently own a yamaha r6, any its due to be serviced, i was speaking to a mechanic a cuple of months ago and he told me that i should only use a genuine yamaha oil filter and i wanted to use a k&n oil filter. so can anybody tell me any truth in this or not, or any reasons why? thanks

speaking to some of the other bikers at my work, and it turns out one of them is gonna lose his licence. had 9 points for previous affences, and got cought at the weekend usign his phone while on his motorbike! what a tool. to top it all off, his wife was in the back of the bike, and he was texting his bit on the side, and he ended up not getting to see her. ( nae sure if he was joking about that bit or not thow . . .) Matt

Hi everyone , new on here. Does anyone know the cheapest/ easiest way to regester my lc/ypvs hybrid. Cheers Nick.

mine is stretching i think because it is the cheap stock one, what do you think would be the best within a reasonable budget of £40 ? Cheers (think I posted in a topic were im unlikely to get maybe people seeing it )

Hi all New to the forum I'm looking at getting a YBR 125 as my next bike when I turn 17 in January. As a step up from my 50cc scooter! If anyone has got one. What are they like to live with? Also as I'm thinking of doing my full A1 licence. Would the YBR be capable of getting me and my gear over to next years Isle of Mann TT? Thanks Ash

Hi all, dont know if im posting this in the right place but I saw another project in here so please move it to somewhere more appropriate if needbe, thought i'd share this with you all. The posts are cut&pasted from my local clubs website of my project log so far This is my 2nd project bike, a 1998 Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace which was in need of a little TLC, got it for a reasonable price with 27K on the clock, there is some minor damage here and there and mechanically its in a bit of a tatty state.

Hi all! Hopefully it's OK for me to do this (and do it here). If not please put me in my place. I realize this auction is about to end so there may not be time for a lot of advice. However, it's the exact year RD350 I'm dreaming of and it shows that it's in in my vicinity! How high do you all think it would be worth going (if the bidding gets off)? I know it won't be as fun as building my own, but at least I'll have something that I can ride on the highway without struggling to get up to the 55-65 speed limit... at least until I can get my own bike built. I'm not sure about the wire behind the motor or why he would do that. ?? I also don't like the routing of the front br…

So, the Divvy will need a new rear tyre soon. I do a lot of motorway riding usually with a lot of gear. Currently got Battlax on the rear and was wondering if there's a tyre out there which is less prone to getting squared off whilst still being a good all rounder? I've no problem with getting the bike over on the corners, just that there aren't that many corners on my regular rides. I didn't have the bike when the rear tyre was new so I may just go for the same and see how I get on but was wondering what you folks thought. Any input appreciated...

Hi Guys Just purchased a Black Yamaha WR125X, and I have to say I love this motorbike except for one thing: the plastic panels. They scratch very easily . Does anyone know of a good polish or wax that will get rid of these scratches and give a nice shiny finish? any help would be much appreciated.

My new new handlebars have arrived and I'm going to fit them myself. It seems like a really simple job, is there any special technique or any advice anyone can give me?

Hi all, I'm looking at getting my xv 250 wheels powder coated, does anyone know anywhere near the Bexleyheath/Dartford area that does this? Also, anyone know roughly how much is it going to cost me? Cheers, Chris

Got my yamaha club t shirt in the post on friday, and its AWSOME! cheers for that !
