Hi All. I was wondering if anyone could help me: I am looking to purchase an SRX 400 (electric start version) for my wife to do her A2 training on. The reason for this is because it is so small and she can manage it relatively easily where the school bikes are all way too large for her. It is 398CC which is fine but it needs to be a minimum of 33BHP to qualify under the new A2 rules for her to do her test on it. Does anyone have any information on the official BHP / KW output of this bike please? I have googled it to death and cant find any solid information. Much appreciated.

Hi Guys, Just one question. I'm installing a new crankshaft oil seal (L and R) on my yamaha DT 400 1978, but I'm not quite sure which way of the seal faces inwards. You have a open side which shows the metal ring and the other side is the closed side. The rubber with the markings stamped on them with the castellations. Should the open or closed side facing inwards ? In other words, installing like this: Or like this: The last couple of days I've heard several opinions. So who knows the correct way of installing these suckers ?

Hi All Have posted this in the newbie forum but thought it best to post here as well to get some replies. I have just bought my first Virago XV 125cc. Don't know the age of it as it is on French plates, the chap I bought it from bought it in France when he lived there, he bought it in Dec, 2000 and brought it to the UK in 2001, when it arrived here in the UK it started to have a miss fire problem, only running on 1 cylinder and the garage he took it to could not find the prob, they changed the carb, ( the old card is in bits in a bag) looks like the have put new carb, rubber flanges on, new plugs etc, but with no success, so they gave up as it was starting to…

Some little scrote has half hinched my Yellow RD350 - E221ADB from my girlfriends back garden last night in Chipping Sodbury near Bristol Anyone spots it let me know, Ta Tnx etc

.....so I thought I'd bring you guys up to date! Here's a little spin I had yesterday in the Altiplano region of Granada, Spain! Rain was forecast for later today.....so instead of getting out early to avoid the heat, it's getting out early to avoid the rain! Went through Orce..... ....then onto some nice open roads.... Recently fitted handlebar risers and Grip Puppies.....both make a hell of a difference to general comfort! Plenty of wide open spaces...... Then the roads get a bit rough... And you eventually end up in Galera! Bit disappointed I didn't run into a nice young chica who's into riding as I did recently..... ....…

Hi, Does anyone know what other 'DT' fuel tanks are the same as the one for a DT175c 1976/77? Thanks

So story goes like this.. Passed my mod 2 1 minor for undue hesitation not like me at all as you know if you have ridden with me Very pleased very happy as you would expect. All the joy of getting a bigger 2 stroke spinning around in my mind. Nice triple or a mental screamer but more important for now burning those L plates that are of great shame to me. Thankfully and i say with behind grinding teeth i haven't yet ridden since passing on the 11th. Why you maybe thinking Thankfully? Well after a urgent message to get in contact asap with the instructor i used sent Friday last. It seems that my Module 1 had expired with my 1st theory November 2012…

Morning all I've got a BMW r1150rt and fancy a change to something with a little more oomph and less vibes but with the same level of touring comfort esp for the pillion who will be making all final decisions. I quite fancy the look of the FJR1300 - my bike is worth maybe 3.5K so I'd be looking at 6K max - so an older one what is the comfort like? is the power OK - even in wet/slippery conditions that we get a lot of the time are there any known problems/issues?? thanks a lot Nick

Hey Guys, I just bought a WR200 and its a 1995 Model. Im after a clutch cable for it but most places (including Ballards) say the model finished in 1992 and they dont listings for a 1995 model. The clutch cable apparently is also not interchangeable with 1992 models. According to wiki the WR200 is 'related' to the DT200. Are the DT & WR the same bike? Are the parts interchangeable? please help!
