My chain keeps stretching and becoming very slack, I no im to buy a new one and was told gold ones are probably the best, having googled it though im not really finding much? How much would you say a worth while chain is going to cost?? Thanks.

My bike is almost 3years old now, how do I find out the date it needs to be MOT'd? thanks

hi guys, im getting an Rd125lc ypvs i love the bike and am going to ride it when I'm 17, faster than any other modern 125! The bike goes well in a straight line but doesn't have great brakes, tyres or forks, so i thought can you put the forks and wheels off a modern Aprilia Rs 125 and also brembo calipers and disks! thank you any help would be appreciated!

Hi out there, I'm looking for a speedo sensor for my fzs 600 and there are none on eBay. Fowlers are looking for £120 for a new one but that goes against the grain. Does anyone know whether I can use a similar item from another Yamaha model as there are a few on eBay which look like they could fit although in some cases the wiring looks rather short? Many thanks.

hi having problems with my dt 125. I started with the engine spluttering when you hit the power band intermittent but getting worse throughout the day now it will start tith the choke only and wont rev at all had carb off cleaned it thought it might have been float setting but there was plenty of fuel in the bowl checked reeds there ok to someone told me it could be the head gasket pulling air in could it do that? someone help me please!!!!!!!!

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?

hi could really apritiate if any one knows if the yamaha xt 125 x wheels will go straight on to my yamaha xt 125R ????

What do you guys recommend if I haven't got a garage to store a bike in? Bike covers any good?

Ok so I'm new to all of this and I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do next. I currently own a SR 125 and the rear running light won't work at all. I've checked and I know that it's not the ground that's broken, it's the positive. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to trace where the fault is in the positive? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know if dragstar front forks will fit an XJ 650??? I have bought an XJ trike and I really don't like the front end, I thought of using the dragstar front end as it's a lot cleaner and less cluttered..... If anyone has any other ideas, please shout up...... Bertie

is it just me that does this, i seem to go through phases where i have to keep adjusting the handlebars and i leave them for a few days then it doesnt feel right so i adjust them again. ive done this with all my past bikes aswell and with different bars on. i,ll leave them alone for months, happy with the way they are only to suddenly not feel happy with them and then go and adjust them again.

Right so I'm going to be building DTR engines for my 2 DTR projects. What I'm trying to find out is about cylinder heads and squish bands. There are various different cylinder heads and in the detonation area is where they vary. Some are smooth and some have a band which i presume is a squish band? Does this then mean that heads with that squish band are going to produce better power? Some people seem to think it should be smooth? I'm confused! Any help would be good!
