The Bar

Hello fellow bikers I am still trying to fix my RXS 100 and now working on the exhaust. Basically, it's f*****.. downpipe is full of holes, exhaust baffle is maybe two times shorter (burned ? ). I don't think it is possible to fix anything so I have decided to buy new parts. The only problem is... there are none. So, does anyone now if parts from similar bikes like ( YB 100, FS1E ) would fit ? On a picture, they look like they should fit, however I would feel a lot more confident if I can get some advices Tomas

hi im having problems trying to find second hand lighting coils for the bike listed above,,,,, any help would be much apprecitated,,,, ive tried everywhere thanks,,

Was just wondering if there are any Yamaha perks, I know other forums sometimes get discounts for bit's and pieces vehicle related. I've also seen that Carrick Yamaha (Edinburgh) are doing a £79 winter service + 30 point check, obviously they're looking to get as much ££ out of a customer as they can but any thoughts on this? Cheers Cam.

Hello everyone, I have recently been finding myself doing alot of green laning and have been using both www.trailwise.org.uk and definitive maps. It uses google maps as a basis to display its maps, and i really want to import all the routes onto my google maps app on my android phone. Problem is i Dont know how. I can see u can export the maps with the Exporter, however i think i need to be a member of the TRF/Glass or CRAG. I want it so i can basically use my Phone as a GPS to the unregistered tracks + green lanes which google maps dosent route correctly. Anyone use anything similar ? Thanks G

Hello all. Can someone assist with some info. I have just bought a low mileage (21000) 1992 on a K 600s. Its a very good runner, and even the standard clutch rattle appears to be absent?? Anywho, my question is the oil light on the dash doesnt come on when the ignition is turned on. From memory, it may only be a oil level light but just need to confirm. Needless to say I rode it home tonight, over 20 miles, and its still running. Your help will be appreciated.

Trying to test the pulser coil by using a multimeter, set to check voltage, attached to the two wires, white with red stripe and white with green stripe, than kick the bike over. But I only get up to about .08 volts? how else can I test the pulser coil and what voltage am I looking for? Thanks,

Hi lads, just joined. I have a problem with my alarm/immobiliser that I'm hoping to get some help with. Last night I went to deactivate the immobiliser to head for a spin and it didn't work. I changed the battery in the fob and that did nothing. Rang a mechanic, he said the immobiliser is probably bust so to just take it out and that should enable the bike to start again. Has anyone removed an alarm/immobiliser from a 03 Fazer 600 before? If so, is there any chance I could get a step by step instruction on how to do it? Any help much appreciated, Mark

Well peeps, its that time of year again, the trusty old xj is going through its mot as I am writing this, the exhaust putty put on last night has done its job, the dodgey indicator has been cleaned out and repaired and the leaky fork seal has been wiped down, so here I am sat in the carpark with a cigarette and a cup of off-smelling nescafe waiting for the result, contemplating life and the mysteries of the universe, are we really alone? Are cats actually robots? What did batman and robin get up to in the batcave when they weren't fighting crime?... I need to stop thinking...

Well, had my first ever run on an RD today & I didn't want to give it back! It's a world apart from what I'm used to but loved every minute. But don't think my budget would stretch to buy this (even if it were for sale, but it def isn't) It was the Roberts replica I've mentioned before, less than 8k on the clock, immaculate condition. But I def got a new addiction - I want an RD!!

This bike has been a two year project. Bored to 71mm with a wiesco piston. Boyensen reeds. All new seal and gaskets. Polished the ports and head. Exhaust is clean. K&N air filter. Carb has been gone through. Here is the issue. In order to adjust the idle to maximum speed before adjusting the idle speed screw I have to turn the idle air screw at least three turns out. Has a miss up to about 4,000 and the it cleans up and runs strong. It just seems to be running rich based on the performance and the spark plug. Black sooty carbon. Running an NGK iridium plug. Any suggestions? Thx JR

Hi I have recently bought a dt125 re 06 reg, I have bought a big one full exhaust system for it, is there anything else I can do to increase power and how is it done? Also would love to put SM wheels on it, but seems quite expense, is there a cheaper option to do this? Been looking for second hand wheels but not had much : ( Any help or advice would be great! Jo

Hi all, I have mentioned before that i am working on a 1978 Yamaha xs400. I have done everything i could to get this motorcycle running but to no avail. I have decided that i am going to tear it all down and rebuild it from scratch. Before i get started i would like to ask a question that has been on my mind and would appreciate any responses. First of all I am planning to rebuild the engine. This motorcycle has only a kickstarter so i was wondering if it is possible to add an electric starter to it and would anyone have a manual to show me how to add one? If it is not possible to add one, could i buy a whole engine that comes with an electric start for this cycle and…

Just got me a little DTMX from the French 'Joe Bar Team' collection, love it, they do all sorts of characature models from classic bikes of the 70's 80's highly recommended

Been having few starter motor issues recently. While an auto-spark friend tries to repair my starter, I phoned my local Honda agent to price a replacement. I nearly choked when I was quoted £615+vat = £738 !!! Needless to say I passed. That's a mental price.
