Hey All, New member. I'm trying to get tyres shipped down here. Anyone know any dealers sellers that ship here? I'm originally from US but here for a year. I couldn't find any sellers in US that carry them to have it shipped from there locally? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I heard the Sporty's are the best bet? Again pretty much need to know how to get tyres shipped down here LOL.

Hi guys, I am in need of some 33bhp washers for my 1997 thundercat. Does anyone know where I can get some secondhand, I dont really want to spend £270 on small washers which im going to take out in a year or so. On a similar note is there anyone on the forum using an throttle stop as a restrictor ?

Hey all, my first post so be kind Ive just bought a 2001 XVS 650A but I've only got my CBT right now, (my 3rd BTW) my previous bike was an Aprilia RS125, now my question, can i get it restricted to ride on a CBT until I pass my Theory and my DA? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lads & Ladesses.... I've noticed when turning on the ignition of my Fazer a series of clicking noises that lasts for a few seconds. It sounds like it's coming from around the switchgear somewhere. The bike always starts and is running well. Any ideas ? Or am I just hearing noises ??? Cheers in advance

Yes i know its been in all the papers that we will be living in igloo's tommorow but. Last year the TDR played sulky just as the weather turned to ratshit, this morning it dumped the better part of a litre of liquid gold from the left carb (thats after struggling home on 11/2 cylinders )so i had to go back in the car.... So back to the DT now then, heh neighbours will be chuffed at 0400 tommorow.....

Hi there guys, The front shocker on my YBR125 has started leaking. Been looking for new ones but all i can find are seals. Is it just a case of topping up the oil and replacing the seals? If so which oil should be used. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hey folks! Was in Belfast recently, had some time to kill so headed to local bike dealer. Oh my god. Think I need to sell a kidney cos I've seen so many nice new toys it's crazy. Crafty bugger salesman saw me drooling over new Yams & homed in like a heat-seeker! Had a gorgeous new White R1 & a nice black/White R6 sitting, the bugger is trying to tempt me with test rides. Why do we torture ourselves!! I should've went to B&Q instead.

I have just bought myself a Yamaha MT-03. I love it except it has a few intermittent problems. 1. It cuts out at some point during most journeys, usually when I am accelerating after slowing to under 15mph or when I am pulling away from a standstill. It is not just a case of me stalling the bike. 2. When riding, if I open the throttle fully nothing will happen or the engine will stutter, then it feels like I have suddenly been rear-ended. Again, this a few times happens on most journeys. 3. When riding with the throttle in the same position the bike keeps accelerating and decelerating by a couple of mph and will sometimes suddenly decelerate The bike is a…

I have a 1962 Yamaha 60cc yj1. I was wondering if anyone knows what value it has. It is complete, motor not froze up, good condition for sitting for many years, needs new seat. If I could figure out how, I'd insert a picture of one like it. Thanks, Shirley

I run my bike out of fuel and can't get it running again. I've cleaned out the air filter and what I presume is the fuel filter, checked the needles in the carb and flushed it through with fresh fuel and cleaned out the fuel tank. Had it running a few times but had to keep the revs up for it to stay running and it won't start at all now. I'm all out of ideas now and was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what it could be? Thanks in advance Oliver

Anyone know of a reference for the HSC32 carb. I have a 1981 Maxim XJ650. I'm rebuilding the carbs and ran into a little (I hope) problem. I left the carb block sit in the carb cleaner and all the rubber seals at the end of the throttle rods and in where the return springs are has rotted away. I hadn't planned on taking these apart - so much for that. I have the Yamaha factory manual (paid $82 bucks for it) and would have though it would have been more thorough (it's just slightly better than a Haynes). I'm replacing all the jets, cleaned up a bunch of stuff, replacing all the screws, etc. It's cleaned up pretty good but now I have to replace all the rubber. Any poin…

I'm new here and figured I would show off the latest bike that was given to me. A '76 XS750. It came off a reserve in saskatchewan and shows alot of weird/stupid fixes. Let me know what you think, any ideas of which way I should take it. I'm stumped for now and thank god winter is coming.
