Sometime ago when I was introducing myself to the forums, I made a comment that if the government gave out motorbike licenses instead of prozac, the country would be a far better place. Now I'm not mocking anyone who suffers from this medical condition, far from it, you have my every sympathy but I was mearly trying to explain what bikes and riding meant to me. I've done the pack thing, hated it. I've done the touring pack thing, tolerated it (too many hero muppets at the front). I've done the riding in threes, bearable. Twosies? Not bad at all, quite relaxing as long as your mate isn't a hero muppet (see touring pack thing) No, what my bikes have always me…

hi, i've got a weekend ticket for the bsb showdown in october at brands hatch. does this cover me for friday's practice or just the saturday and sunday?

My 1982 Virago has 22,000k and has never had any oil leaks until the last month or so. Leaks have begun around the outside of both front and rear cylinder head gaskets next to the crankcase. I have snugged up the 3, (three) allan screws on each side with no success. It has been suggested that there is increased pressure in the crankcase that has to be addressed. Is there a crankcase vent or other vent that may be plugged? All sources I have checked are vague on location etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I've not been a member of the biking world that often so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have been riding a Yamaha R-125 for around six months and passed my full direct access test Friday just gone. Having riden a 125 at 16 and a half stone i don't really get very far very quickly. In a spur of the moment i've put my bike up for sale and have had an offer from a dealer to part ex for a 2003 R6. It comes next Wednesday and was wondering if there are some tips you guys could give me as it is going to be an extreme jump from a 125 to an R6. I did my test on a 500cc but i know that will be nothing compaired to the power i will have at my discposal and a…

Hi, I have just bought an aerox with either a 70cc big bore or a 77cc not exactly sure, it was fitted by a garage and is still being run in by me so it does have a higher ratio of 2 stroke oil. My mates 50cc aerox will do 45mph however mine struggles to reach 40mph at the moment. It has been de-restricted and has a leo vinci tt exhaust. Any suggestions as to why..... it could just eb the higher ratio of 2 stroke oil. Thanks

Hi guys, just purchased a really great xvs1300 2007 model with all the bells and whistles. Ive noticed while riding that during gear changes (more so up shifting) that the blue high beam light pops on for a split second during the gear change. At night i see the lights flash high beam during the gear changes. I assume this is not normal for this bike. It has the extra spotties next to the headlight. Im thinking someone wired this up wrong even though it all works fine. Any ideas ?? Angelo

I need some help finding a decent place to order parts from, any suggestions??

Hello dare , Anybody know of direct replacement for the fuel pump on a 1994 exup 1000 . I think a thundercat one will fit . any help on this would be greatly appreciated , because as we all know genuine yam parts cost the earth . Cheers

I am the proud owner of a 77 dt250. Ground up. All seals replaced in the engine. Wiesco 1mm over piston and rings. Boyensen reed valves. New points and condensor. Spent countless hours getting the timing right. It has a horrible mid range miss. Plug is dark black carbon. Stock jetting in carb. Float is set correctly. Starts like a champ first kick. Excellent compression. Dialed the injection pump back a little from factory recommended. Using Mobil 1 synthetic 2 cycle. Any thoughts? Some smoking at idle. Not a fogging but noticeable. Just sputters at a steady throttle.

Hi all, many moons ago i cut my teeth on an 88 genisis thou, it has always had a special place in my bike memories, and last week the gods of two wheels saw fit to put a 1990 fzr 1000 in my path for the sum of 300 sheets. I kind of knew we were destined to spend a long time in the shed together from the phone call, but she's now in my van,in more pieces than i can count along with a new akropovic race can as the pipes are more than a little shagged. I work away from home most of the time so this is going to be a long rebuild it's gonna need a lot of time and lovin to get this bike back to the brute it once was but i'm meticulous and determined and can't wait to start.the …
