Just acquired a 1994 FZR600R in what I think is referred to as Cocktail white. The top of the tank is purple and then there is a grean stripe and then pearl white. There are a couple of scratches on the purple bit of the tank. Any idea where I can get touch up paint from at a sensible price as trying to clean this up on a low budget!! Cheers all

Hi As the title says I am thinking about a trickle charger to keep the battery charged up when it comes to the more winter type weather, as at the moment I am using regularly anyway, the bike has an alram so I am sure I am going to need something come the winter. Was wondering if any one had tried one of those small solar panels that are designed to keep a battery topped I had one that I used in an old Volkswagen Type 2 van due tot the alarm and the radio memory draining the battery in about two four weeks and that worked ok for that, not sure if it would work for a bike? The problem I have with a plug in charger is that to get electricity to where the bike is k…

Hello people, i'v e got a 05 DTX. I've heard people talk about the power valve where the exhaust meets the barrel. What do you do to it? And will that work on my 05? Not really sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Ok so ive been thinking up ways of improving the DT's performance off road, my main gripe is that the suspension is very obviously setup for road use, and is far too spongey and wallowey for my liking off road on jumps etc. Been talking to a mate who have owned a YZ and he said that the swingarm, rear shock and front forks should all bolt up to the DT... is this correct? And if so, will the DT wheels fit the YZ gear? Been told the speedo drive wont work so will need a digital speedo with magnetic drive, and that i will need longer cables making up, that side of things doesnt bother me, just wanting to make sure everything else will work? If not, any advice on ot…

Hey, ive got a DT125X, ive done the wire behind the speedo, and got a full dep exhaust pipe, and took the snorkel off the air box under the seat. All together they have made it considerably quicker! I've heard, it's then good to change the jets to bigger ones. Any idea of what's the best size to go for? And also the reed valve. I'm not fully up to speed with reed valves, i've never had one in my hands to look at. Any advice on whick is the best ones to get and where from? Thank you people, and god bless this forum for being full of genius'! lol

So, My insurance has came through for my XJ600N, hoooraa ! was reading all my information that came with it and it appears that my policy coveres me (third party) for driving another bike, (as long as its insured by someone) Was speaking to my old man about it, and he suggested he got his 2 BSA's on the road to go for a few trips this year, and same again next. so, what one should i ride ? The Bsa B40, or the Bantam D5? anyone got any encounters with any of these bikes ? i can remember sitting on the back of the b40 since i was just tall enough to reach the foot pegs

Hi Guys I am sorry if this is covered else where on this forum, but i have just recently purchased a RS100 for a restoration project. Trouble is that although i have now got it running well the electrics were shot. After buying a new battery the electrics worked for about 30 minutes before packing up never to work again. I have now completely rewired where necessary according to the haynes manual, but although my battery has power, as soon as i connect it to the rectifier it doesn't read any voltage. also the power isn't getting to the ignition. The bike still runs but i have no lights or power to the rest of the bike. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the iss…
