Hi everyone new to this but hope someone can help me . i bought a 1984 XJ600/FJ600 and it was sitting around for a few weeks or so maybe longer with only short spirts now and then . i started the bike and when i went to trake off it surged , lost power , then slowly and gradually gained momentum . once in the higher gears it appears to run ok ,yesterday i went out for a spin , it did the same thing and was choking , once it gained momentum , again it seemed ok . when i got back it was misfiring a bit , and a flame was coming out the back when i revved it . today was better and i put premium in it and it seems to be getting better and better , but still sluggish off the …

Hi everyone Just a quick post to say hello, I'm hoping to pick up an 81' DT 125 tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be full of stupid questions for the next while although looking at some of the excellent info on this forum hopefully there shouldn't be too many. I'm off to have a read and see if I can find some things to look out for when I view the bike, haven't had any dealings with a 2 stroke since I was about 15 and a Bultaco gave me a few bumps and bruises

includes a working rocket exhaust flamethrower, opening roll top dashboard doors, flashing red beacon, automatic Batbeam antenna grid and glowing Detect-a-Scope radar screen more here

Spotted a bike for sale locally that looked good in the pics & description raised no problems. Seller stated it had been bought as a track bike but had never been used as such. Was really well priced so I enquired why it wasn't for road use, seller replied saying it was a US import & had never been registered etc. Surely couldn't be hard to get it registered & through an mot? Anyone got experience in this area?

Hi folks. Trying to use the bike daily for as long as possible before conceding defeat for the winter. Any recommendations for good tyres for this kinda weather? I ride rural / main roads to work.

Hi all, I am considering buying a Yamaha Midnight Star XVS 950 cruiser motorbike but have one problem. I have seen in a lot of youtube videos the footboards scraping the ground when turning and this seems to be quite an issue with the bike. It doesn't have great ground clearance. However, there must be a way to stop this? I was wondering if there is anything you can get to add to the bike to stop this? Maybe some kind of small rollers to fit on the underside of the footboards to stop the scraping? Or some protective material to protect the actual metal from scraping? I am not keen on having to replace the footboards all the time! Any help?

Hi Folks! Sorry ive not been about much recently - what have i missed??? Thought I had to share the news that the FZR is gone. Had enough of throwing money at it with no reward so sold it Bought a replacement already, commuting daily which is the whole point! Would love to buy another Fizzer in the future, but would def be as a project instead of daily rider.

Got the petcock to stop leaking, funny how putting the wave washer on the outside works so-much better. No all I have to do is get the rear brake master cylinder fixed up and I ready for spring. tim

Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Texas A&M University has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in. At a news conference, after announcing the invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

THIS may be of interest to forum members. A FREE tyre pressure and depth gauge. Also of interest, but NOT free, is the neck warmer given away with this months (Dec ) Fast Bikes. Its a good quality warm fleece neck tube with draw cord. The magazine/tube are £4.10. HTH J
