I have a 03 yzf r1. the problem I have is after ridding at a perlonged high rpm. the bike wont idle. if i ride normal it runs fine. i was thinking intake leak but the problem isnt consistent enough. any ideas would be helpful thanks

As a little background, I used to be a regular on the forum and had a DT175mx. Ended up buying other bits and ended up with 2 DT175mx's both in bits. What I missed was riding a bit and the time to work on the bits so I sold the bits and brought a bike to ride around on. I missed some of the forum banter and am now looking to start a new project. Ideally I want a trails type bike that will suffer the occasional long ride and a few short rides. '70's or '80's and I would guess that a XT500 fits the bill (except maybe the cost). I am looking to spend about £500 on a rolling chassis or £1000 on something better and don't want the total spend, over about 12 months, to cost…

Trying to put yamaha tzr 250 wheels on my yamaha tdr 250,does any one no what spaces i need or were to get some

Hey everyone Seen a few rear Tyres on eBay at good money, but some have been plugged to repair a nail hole or similar. Has anyone any experience with repairs like this? Are they reliable enough? Thanks Vic

Can anyone tell me if it's worth going to the Adelaide Bike Show in Belfast this weekend 11th to 13th feb 2011.Cheers.

Hi all, anybody got a source for the clear fuel and oil pipe , i've seen it on eb for a zillion quid a foot. Is there anywhere else any of you lot would reccomend. Have been burnt by ebay before with some supposed fuel pipe for the landy that lasted about 6 weeks so would prefer to buy on reccomendation. . Cheers.......

hi peeps i have an ultra short pipe on my 2001 R1,(bloody gorgeous) on a run last week the rev counter was reading 7000-zero, but it cleared after a few miles. the manual says this is an ex-up valve problem, it says it may cause engine damage ?? how serious is this, was thinking it is not recognising the short pipe i have got on, just dont want to fit the old pipe back on it, (well not until the first POOLE meeting anyhow. cheers rolls

Hi, Basically Ive had my Yamaha DTre 125 2007 for a while and Im enjoying the bike, One issue is I cant get the damn powervalve cover off to check my powervalve etc, If somebody could tell me which way the screws go for loosening (anti clockwise?)it would be very handy. I have also heard of jamming the YPVS open? would It improve power? I have done the wiring de-restriction and it made a big improvement (used to lose to my mates r125 lol) Thanks for any replys

Just a quick question, is the pre div xj900f the same front end wise as the xj600? as in will forks etc, fit? could the panels and tailpiece be changed over from a 900 to a 600?

Many happy returns for your 18th! Here's wishing you are well and getting better. I hope the pain killers won't restrict your alcohol intake this evening. Best wishes

Greetings from Denmark. I have just bought my 12 yr old son his first bike. I found a DT80 LC from germany that needs a bit of TLC and with a few bits n bobs should be up and running as soon as the snow is gone. I really hope the neighbours appreciate it. Ying a ding ding ding.......

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in the last few weeks. Truth is, I've been on hospital. Doing about 30-50 (cant quite remember) down a main road, when a car decided to pull out on me and give me flying lessons. Got rushed off to emergency in an ambulance, broke both tibia and fibula, had to have an operation quick-sticks. Going to be off the bike for a while now, luckily it was work's bike and not mine so don't have to get anythng fixed. If any1 on YOC works on anything to do with law (particularly compensation and insurance law) please contact me. I wont be walking for several weeks now, and wont be on the bike for longer. Please guys, ride safe…

checked into biker metric today and got a mention with me blog. dead chuffed and might inspire more builders to give up and not bother

Hello wise bikers, I own a yamaha xj 600, it's my first big bike. It was running beautifully until a hole one day opened up spewing out fuel from tank. So after draining fuel tank and discovered lot's of rust in it. so replaced tank with 2nd hand rust free one. Whilst sourcing a new tank I'd lost my job so the bike stood standing (outside) for close to half a year. But i wrapped bike in protective shrink wrap to ensure no water getting in to the engine block. Anyway when I got tank etc. I put in new spark plugs ( and battery) and I got my bike mate to clean out my carbs and tap. But despite our best efforts doesn't want to run.... the odd thi…

I know i've mentioned this bike before but thought i'd share pics taken at a recent local classic show. Very nice RD, would love this one in my garage!! And to pre-empt the inevitable question, its not a copy - its the real deal. One owner from new, never been restored or molested (apart from the 2 silly stickers) Hope someone else likes this as much as i do!

Hi guys, Im new to this forum and Motorcycles in general, so on here looking for general advice. Im in the process of revising before booking my theory before booking a direct access. Im more than likely after an R6,probably a 2004-2006 model. Im hoping some of you guys could answer some questions please: 1) What is the bike test like, is it difficult etc? 2) The R6, as a first bike good idea or not? Good bike in general? 3)how much should i look to pay for the direct access? Any other advice would be more than welcome with regards to the direct access, the bike and what to look out for etc when buying. Really appreciate any reply's in advance. Hello to …
