Hi everybody I'm new here , got myself a XJ900F 3 years ago , and have had some fantastic trips to Norway and the Alps , on it. Now the exhaust needs CO-adjustment , and I was hoping someone in here knew where to find the right CO % for an -87 model. Haynes manual dosn't mention anything about it. Cheers Steen

Chaps, You may have noticed that I've been quiet for a few weeks. This is mainly due to taking on an off-road trip through Spain & Portugal. I think the last tally was 818 miles of dirt'n dust on the XT660Z. Anyway, here's one or two pictures for you all. The usuall, 'leaving blighty' picture from the back of the boat looking at Plymouth.. the entertainment wasn't too bad on the ferry and before we'd even hit the trails the heat of rush hout in Santander took it's toll on the only XT-R that was with us. We stayed over in Potes in Northern Spain for the first night, riding south past a huge lake that was as still as…

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife... A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: " Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries …

hey i have a 95 reg xj600n and it tends to shake alot between 2-4000 rpm and over 7000 and i was wondering is this normal or is there something wrong with it ? if so what might it be? cheers x

Hey folks! Sorry not been posting on here much recently, jobhunting was a pain but back to work now which is much better. Anyway - added another Yam to the stable last week when i bought my oldest son a PW50 for his upcoming birthday! Looked around usual sources (ebay, gumtree etc) & found one tucked away in a womans garage. Usual story, kids outgrown blah blah blah. It was a bit rough cosmetically but started on the first kick. So i gave her buttons for it & brought it home! Nice parcel of bits arriving tomorrow to fix any issues & tidy the cosmetics but still works out as a bargain. Hope junior likes it - but he's already bike mad so fingers c…

Hi! I recently purchased an XS 650 from a guy that was trying his hand at disassembling and reassembling his toys. He got the dissassemble part right, but fell short of the reassemble. I'm putting the thing back together, and have recently sent the tank out for paint and some minor ding repair. (I got a sweet deal) I'm new to the forum.... and to reassembly. Anything I should know before I go too far? He reassured me all the parts are here, but he isn't sure if the tank was factory. Thanks! cosmo-

Hi Folks Nice site. I've recently brought myslelf an 125 XVS Drag Star and would be interested to know if there is any where about that sells club t-shirts and stuff? Thanks

Hi all 1st post Well after many years have now decided to do my bike test. Do I need to go to a training school or can I book my test myself and just do it ? I have been riding for a while now and have watched many videos of the mod 1 and 2 and I feel I am ready for the test. I want to take it on my ybr 125 custom and then get a 400cc, then after 2 years go bigger again. Hope all this makes sence Many Thanks Dave
