Hey, I've been riding about 4 months now and am loving it. Got my theory test booked for a couple of weeks time and hope to get my full license and upgrade to an R6 in September. However, i bought this bike 4 months ago, it,s an 2008 plate and really is stunning. The only problem is I'm sure at some point between my home and getting to work i get a really powerful clutch smell. I'm not 100% sure it's me but seem to get more and more paranoid. I've driven a car for years so I'm not really that inexperienced and know how to operate vehicles so I'm not sure whether I'm not shifting quick enough or whether there is a problem with the bike. Has anyone got any info they …

...if a later, tappered steering head bearing set, similar to those used on the TR1, will retro-fit onto that bike's predecessor, the XV920R roadster?

Hi all. New to the club and new to biking, but very excited to have my first bike, a 2008 YBR125 and looking forward to it taking me towards my test. Took it for a good spin the other day (3rd day I had it) to see what i could get out of it. About 65 i reckon which isn't to bad considering I weigh 15 stone. Anyway since then I am almost sure that the note of the engine has changed. Now I don't know if I'm being a bit paranoid about my new baby but I swear the note has got deeper/rougher and almost a bit 'growly'. Even when I'm crusing down the road before my house in 3rd/4th gear, no throttle, there is an underlying growl. Don't think it's the exhausut but I suppo…

Hi y'all not been on for a while been waiting for my exhausts to arrive.. as you know i had great enthusiasm and excitment about changing the exhausts n studs on my bike but with them not turning up i decided to checked back n read the not so obviouse print at the bottom of the page to my horror it said 12 to 14 days whaaaaaaat!!! so im a bit miffed i didnt read that, so ive been titivating the bike a bit, not too much as this would detract from what i want from the bike so i haven't had much to report on,except still here waiting for them to arrive oh moving to Tidworth soon

Help .... I have just bought a 1998 R1 and the clutch action feels like it is set in concrete. So far I have removed the clutch cable, which is free to move, as is the clutch lever. I have also had the clutch cover off and the clutch arm moves freely, no notchiness from the bearings. The previous owner tells me he had a new clutch fitted. Any one have any ideas Cheers Steve

Merv asked for some piccies once they were finished. Paul sends photo's of them so you can see em before he sends them to you. In the pics they look spot on, the gold looks to be just right too. Not anodised, both the hubs and rims have been powder coated as obviously neither the rims or hubs are new enough for anodising without extensive (expensive) work. More so with the rims as the front has a repair (you have to know where to look to see it though) and it means i still have ALL the original bits on the bike. Anyway, all in for under 250quid, rims and hubs were strpped then powder coated, new stainless spokes made specifically for each application. Non…

hi guys, ive just bought my first real bike a 1997 xj 600n and im attempting to make it into a masterpiece. ive just got a few questions that id like to put forward to all you guys. first does anyone know if a similar year fazer rear wheel will fit on an xj? second will most mono-shocks from the same year fit the xj im trying to jack it up abit at the back? third is there a 4-4 downpipe or one that lifts the exhaust up as they are low as standard? i have some pics of the bike when i got it but i need to upload them. the previous owner had dropped it a few times and the exhaust was snapped at the 2-1 on the left section. i have latter noticed that the clutch pedal…
