The Bar

Just had the first service on me XJ6 (thank you streetbike) and had smashing fun on the way home doing battle with all the cars on the M6.... me little girls awake now 8000 revs and she comes alive, 9000 revs and she....err....comes alive some more

not been on for a while and now running a 650 dragstar which sadly has a bit of a whining top gear and i was just wondering if any one can tell me either just how hard it is to change out the gears and whether its really worth the time and trouble in doing so or how i could go about making it quieter, if such a thing is possible that is. Any help would be really appreciated. thanks.

Well the body work is coming along on the Turbo, All but the belly pan has has decals removed, primed and top coated in silver alloy, which isn't too bad a match Body work back on to line up the new decals before lacquer And my pair together just because, lol This is waiting to go on Decals should go on tommorow, then lacquer, as many coats as possible Belly pan not done as needs fibreglassing around the casing holes

Trying to find every last available mA on this system replaced the neutral bulb which has turned silver again with an RS 209-428 as a test before doing the others. Will have to see what the indicator flasher unit will think of it in due course.

this brings tears to my eyes. the owner died 30 years ago and left all these bikes in the building. it noe demolished along with the bikes

My 73 CT1 kick start gear will not engage it's mating gear located behind the clutch pack. The mating gear wobbles all over the place and I have not removed the clutch to see how this gear is supposed to be fastened to it's shaft. Does anyone know what the problem is ? Easy fix ? What in the way of parts are needed ? Can you recommend where to buy the needed parts ? Thanks

Hi all! Hopefully it's OK for me to do this (and do it here). If not please put me in my place. I realize this auction is about to end so there may not be time for a lot of advice. However, it's the exact year RD350 I'm dreaming of and it shows that it's in in my vicinity! How high do you all think it would be worth going (if the bidding gets off)? I know it won't be as fun as building my own, but at least I'll have something that I can ride on the highway without struggling to get up to the 55-65 speed limit... at least until I can get my own bike built. I'm not sure about the wire behind the motor or why he would do that. ?? I also don't like the routing of the front br…

I've got a DT 125 been sitting for years but will be revived. Anyone know the points setting on this bike? Any other hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Freshbuz in Iowa.

I am putting the head back on this bike and noticed the head gasket has two different sides. Which side is up? Thanks

Will it fit and will it mount up? As some of you may know already my FZR gearbox is playing up and I'm sure I can squeeze a yzr750 in there... Someone tell me it'll go and I'll do it. I'm getting so fed up having to skip 2nd gear. thank you

I have a 75 xs500b and was wondering what other years and/or models it is compatible with.

the old girl starts first kick but you twist the throttle and no power its almost like the exhaust is pluged up but its clear. HELP!!!!!!!!

Hey, I replaced the clutch disks on my 1978 DT125E today and now the clutch doesnt seem to work at all. I can put the bike in any gear when not running with the clutch in but when I release the clutch lever I can still roll the bike around as if the clutch is constantly engaged. I have yet to add oil to the crank case just in case the cover has to come off again. what could be wrong with my bike? I have been restoring this bike to working condition for months as my high school senior project and this is just puzzling, at first the clutch was constantly engaged and now its just the opposite What The Hell! Any help would be fantastic, names Mike by the way.

Hello everyone... After getting a steel tank off ebay and having to clean the rust out AGAIN...it RUSTED OVER AGAIN. SO........ I called Air-Tech and asked them about a PLASTIC OR FIBERGLASS TANK. I am also getting White smoke out of the left stock pipe...and not on the right. Does anyone know the dimensions to get a fabricated tank? Has anyone done this before? And...What in gods name is all of that WHITE SMOKE when its Air cooled? I know Blue means Im burning Oil....but WHITE??? Also...Im sick to death of these shitty Mikuni carbs...so god damn temperamental. Is there any other carbs that would fit on the 400xs that I could buy NEW??? Having Mad T…

This is my first post, and I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I just picked up a 79 XS750SF. Bike looks like it was well maintained, but when I started it up, gas started pouring out of the air box after a few min. Thinking that it was a stuck float, I pulled the carbs off, cleaned them completely, and put everything back together. When I started the bike again, gas started leaking from the air box again. The only thing I can think of is that I may have been running the bike with the petcock on PRI. I've never had a bike with a "prime" setting on the petcock, so I was unfamiliar with what that setting was. Could this have been my problem?

I've got a xs750 and I can't seem to get it to run, it will fire when I spray starting fluid in the carbs, but won't start on gas...what do I do?

Hey guys, newbie here. I just purchased a 79’ DT 175 that had no papers and no title with it. I’m trying to get it street legal but have no idea how to go about doing that. A lot of people have talked about going through Vermont to get it registered. I would also like to find the VIN if I could but can’t seem to do that after looking the bike over pretty hard. Is there a place it usually is? I have a frame and motor serial number which is 2A7-001###. Can anyone speak to any of this? Thanks!

For anyone considering a tyre purchase, I've had this rear one on for 7k now on the draggie, and still plenty left. Make is Heidenau, purchased from PNEUSONLINE. Also had new front and rear on the virago this year of same make, no problems, both delivered next day

Anybody had advanced timing issue with 80 to 83 XT250. Bike started to kick back when trying to start. Checked timing and it is way too far advanced. Timing is a little over two inches distance on flywheel advanced. All source coil and pulse coils check good. Any possibility CDI unit has just shot craps? Please let me know if you have seen this issue. Have checked position of crank. "T" mark lines up when at TDC.
