The Bar

Hey guys recently had a small crash on my ybr. Bike was fine but the only problem was I broke my clutch lever. I bought a clutch lever online which came with a new clutch cable, so I decided to change the old one. Changed the clutch lever/cable no problem. I was riding it for a week or so back and forth to work with no problems. Then one morning I tried to ride it. Jumped on and pressed the clutch lever and there's nothing there, no resistance at all. I've adjusted the cable at the lever and the midway point on the cable to there loosest setting but it didn't make any difference to my clutch. I don't understand why this is happening, anybody got any ideas/ advice? p.s I'm…

Afternoon all Novice query.......I Need to temporarily remove the rear seat from the Dragstar. Is there a bolt underneath, or is it connected to the bolt and bracket behind the reflector below the seat? Cheers Dom

How do you like this bad boy? I like original, but this is tempting. Guy wants round 3300 pounds for it.

Hi Couldn't start a new topic in the Wanted section so will leave this here if that's okay? Have noticed that the (standard) exhaust on the Dragstar is venting from the muffler weld and so am putting out some feelers for a new system. Have been scouring the usual sites but if anyone knows of anyone who has Highway Hawks for sale, or similar respected slash cut pipes / slip ons, then I would be interested in taking a look. Any idea if these are any good? http://www.customcruisers.com/Custom2005/customshop2005/contents/en-uk/p9045.html Cheers

Hi, I have a dt125 98 and recently changed the gearbox oil to find there was petrol in it, in the oil I also found a few small fragments of crankcase sealant. If anyone could help me figure out what's wrong that would be great! Don't want to start stripping the engine down if I don't have to

Whist St Paddys day used to be my favourite saints day for many years I just wanted to wish all my fellow English members a happy St Georges day.

Dropped the bike off for a service and MOT early this morning with to intention of walking into town and getting some breakfast then do a bit of shopping, while standing there in the shopping mall trying to decide which of the many food bars to use I'm patting down my pockets looking for my wallet, bollocks it wasn't there, I'd left it at home on the kitchen worktop. So instead of a nice unhealthy breakfast I had an hour's walk home in my full kit and ended up with fucking weetabix.

May the fourth be with you Get In

FJR was just too good all-round, so decided to get rid and get back to basics with an old school beast. 1981 XS1100 Midnight Special. Bought her from an enthusiast who looked after her very well. I hope to do him justice, but at the same time this bike is going to get RIDDEN.

I can't remember who suggested it but it was on here just after Clarkson got suspended. I remember thinking what a good Idea and now its happened brilliant!

I have got a XJ650 for my sin's I think it my have come from USA, but trying track its reg year etc, I am also in need finding a turbo, exhaust down pipes, any guidance be most welcome.

I know its not very exciting but after having to take my exhausts off I figured i'd give em the usual blast of black to smarten them up. Well I noticed some quite substantial rust bubbles in the paint so decided to knock it back to get rid and give a good key. Jesus it took over an hour to clear the rust, all the hot spots had rust forming UNDER the paint. Each little bubble would show an area the size of a fag packet that needed treating and the front of the exhaust is completely stripped back to the front of the expansion chamber. The steel must be truly fkin awful quality. I went from cleaning a couple of blisters on the swan neck to practically stripping i…
