The Bar

Amazing how having my 10year old on the back of the bike turns you from big bad biker, (we can all dream) to Mr Safety. After the wife's utterly dumb statement of "don't need gloves in this heat do you?", never mind. We went into town for an appointment and parking and traffic in the car is a bitch. She loved it and was very good as a pillion, bit wobbly but on the whole just moved with the bike. She is a runner too so light as a feather which helps. Oddly i really enjoyed it too, came the long way home down some lanes i havent ridden for a long while, turned a 10 mile trip into 30. Pretty good for her first time as pillion. Happy dad

Left work, happy enough nipped along to the first roundybout an then the trudge down the new link road, its only about a mile or so but you always have traffic and somehow the wind blows down it weird. Anyway a Suzui come blasting up from behind and stops with me at the junction. Suzuki "Alright mate, them TDR 125's are not bad when you goin to get a proper bike, somat with a bit of go like this" Me (through gritted teeth) "I'm perfectly happy with it" Then the junction cleares he fucks of at a million miles an hour, into TDR land. Bad tarmac, bad bends, and i've been riding them day in day out rain or shine for the last 4-5 years..... Only the ice ha…

Hi guy, i have had my yamaha dragstar 650 for about 4 weeks i have tried to start it & its not starting at all, could this be due to a lack of engine oil? what are your thoughts as dont want to get charged lots for a garage to check it over yet. Thanks

The EU are trying to pass a few new regulations onto motorbikes this will stop 1.All modifications to complete power train, from airbox to controlling the rear tyre profile 2. Compulsory ABS 3. Automatic headlights, just to pick at our riding habbits there 4. On Board Diagnostics so that roadside checks can be made of our emissions and constant readouts of our engine's performance can be obtained, this is similar to a tachograph on HGV's which means that they will know how we ride our bikes 5. Repair and Maintenance Information stored on the ECU rarther then the little service book 6. Any race parts fitted to a street going bike illigal 7. full day-glo clothi…

after reading reviews and looking at pictures of peoples bikes on here and other forums ive decided on an xj6 diversion in black, i have an 05 fz6 fazer at the moment which i bought new, its on its second set of steering head bearings, ive heard about alot of fz6,s with similar problems of them wearing out quick. they are one their way out again and now ive had enough and although its a great bike and in seven years ive only done 28,000 miles on it, i feel its time for a change, i test rode an xj6 and loved it, very smooth riding and didnt seem that much slower than the fz. These days most of my riding is commuting to work apart from the odd ride out here and there, mayda…

My friend has just fitted a new alarm to my bike today. It cost me £30 off eBay and I love it. It's really sensitive and loud as hell. I swear knowing that there's an alarm on my bike now I can relax, the paranoia, stress, and anxiety I have suffered fretting over it getting stolen has really given me a hard time. Now it has just gone like a weight been lifted from my shoulders.

Has anybody got one of these? I have only just found out about them, I'm tempted to get one now.

Will it fit and will it mount up? As some of you may know already my FZR gearbox is playing up and I'm sure I can squeeze a yzr750 in there... Someone tell me it'll go and I'll do it. I'm getting so fed up having to skip 2nd gear. thank you

I have a 2007 vstar 1100 classic, I installed jordines slip ons and well since I am a guy I took the baffles out at work the other day. well I decided I wanted to put them back in but after looking I noticed that the baffles are two different lengths and I do not know what goes where long one on top or short one on top ? can anybody help me

So I bought a job lot of DTR parts and this carb came with it. It appears to have some kind of auto choke system on it. I've no idea what it is from but don't need it so want to list on this online auction site I've heard of Or if anyone on here needs it, make me a token offer and you can have it.

I just had a PM from some one called Enginelor saying this *Bikertruelove.com* is established for local biker singles to get together and find their partners.If you are still a single biker,that must be a right place for you to find your right person! Any one else had it?

hi im in the middle of putting a scottoiler on my new xj6s ,when ive lifted the tank up just behind the airbox, chainside there are two black rubber pipes with stoppers in the ends, one of the pies has got a red mark on the end, does anyone know which one im supposed to attach the vacuum pipe from the scottoiler to. thanks.

Hi Guys, Could someone help me with the settings of the Yamaha Alarm & Immobilizer settings? The alarm keeps arming itself which makes working on the bike difficult. I know there is a "Service mode", but I don't know how to set it. The user manual is no help either. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards

After all the moaning my clutch lever, alarm, clutch cable have come. So I'm going to have a bash at fitting them. Wish me luck!

I don't know if anyone else has come across anywhere that does this or has any advice in general but here goes. I'm building a DT125R up from the ground. I've got almost all parts now and will be starting the build as soon as my logbook for the frame comes through. I've bought full new plastic set with new sticker kit. The sticker kit doesnt include the stickers for the tank that matches/meets the ones on the rad scoops. I'm going to be re spraying the tank and will want new stickers. Does anyone know what my best line of action is? Is there anywhere that would be able to get the stickers. I'll say, I have yet to try yamaha as i think they only would have part …
