Hi guys having abit of trouble with my indicators on my dt125 r, i bought replacement LED's indicators ( dont you just hate the originals) i connected them together yesterday and when i turn them on, All of them just stay on, but not very bright. Have i blown a fuse or damaged the circuit? Do i need to buy a converter or anything? Cheers dudes

Was a DT, now badged as a DR (dirt and refuse)

Does any one know where the 2 rubber pipes that are connected to 2 tee connectors from the bank of 4 carbs go, the other 2 pipes coming from the carb 1 vacum pipe going back to the fuel tap and the other is the fuel line , the only thing i can find is a breather pipe connector at the front of the fuel tank. Having no air filters fitted or vacum pipes connected / crank case breather pipe cause the bike to be difficult to start and run erratic as is the case thanks Dave

gutted i went to go out and have a ride here on the sunny isle of wight and when i started the bike up i discovered that i had no fuel... bit wierd cos there was over half a tank last night when i out it to bed!! my bike is six foot away from my front door on my garden and some sneeky little fu**er has snuck up and laid between my bike and me other half's bandit (hidden from view by the bikes covers)and emptied my tank dry!Got a fair idea who dunnit i reckon its a sneaky weasley looking little bastard who lives across the road who repairs lawnmowers and rips off old ladys by doing odd jobs. if i find out its him im gunna have his life!!

Does anyone know where I can get hold of pillion seat/habgers and pegs... Have had no luck anywhere???

Hi Can anyone advise me on the best panniers to get for a Virago 535? The leather saddlebags are falling apart and hardly hold anything! Thanks

Hi Everyone, thought it was about time I registered ,I ve been visiting the site for a long time ,found it quite useful so now Ive registered. My bike is a 'j' reg virago 535 in pearl cream and chrome and is in pretty good condition.It was christened 'The Ladyboy' by my then workforce as it arrived with leather tassles everywhere which made it look a bit gay.Ive no real problem with that but the name stuck although the tassles didnt ,they vanished one lunchtime...probably for the best really. Just passed its MoT needing a bit of work on the exhaust (plating bottom box) easy and new front pads easier and is runing like a dream. By the by my son who passed is test a cou…

thought you might be interested to know that following the UK Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to ALL speed camera offences registered in the last 12 months. Did you know that every time your vehicle goes past a speed camera, even 1mph over the set limit, it is registered and put on a database? You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know) if you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit. This is why you hear of people being done for 34mph in a 30mph limit area, whilst others doing 39 do not. You can check wh…

I have a P reg Thunder Ace, the rev counter is playing up and wondered if anyone can throw any light on it. The needle goes up to 7000 then drops to 4000 then down to 0 but only when the bike is moving...on the stand , it moves as it should...any clues?
