Hello, My name's Steve and im new I live in Derby and am looking into getting a new bike to get me from Derby to Nott's on the weekdays and then out for fun on the weekends. I used to have a Derbi Sender a few years ago but got rid as soon as i got my car license and now see that wasn't such a good idea. I'm potentially looking into getting a WR125X, thinking maybe in black or maybe white. Just looking for some opinions on them really, i will be mod'ing it a little bit, having quite a big background in car modifications so it wont stay stock for too long but im wondering what potential they have as well? Regards Steve

Hi There, Can anyone help me as either I am being daft or previous owner was being even dafter.. I've gat a 650 Dragstar 1997 which I've had for a few months.I had it running on the day I bought it but since then I've had it off the road while I repaired and changed a few things. Back to the question, the petrol tank doesn't have a breather outlet, well at least I can't find one and petrol flow stops after a few seconds unless I remove filler cap. The manaul shows a breather outlet in the top of the tank just behind the large "hole in the tank",, I do have the breather outlet pipe but I don't have any kind of breather outlet in the tank. There is a small hollow …

This thing is a basket case. I bought this engine from some guy who really knew nothing about it. After some research is found that it was a xs500b. Im planning on using it on a go kart if i can get it running. The question i have has to do with the push lever assembly on the clutch. The rod that goes from the assembly into the clutch is missing and/or broke. I found a couple of schematics, but wasn't very useful. Can anyone help? Thanks Chris..

I have a 1994 Yamaha XJ600 SecaII. I'm wanting to convert it into a "Naked Bike" or what many call a "Street Fighter"(Not sure of the difference between the two). I do know there was a naked version of my bike that was specifically sold to Europe but not the States. I tried to hit up Ebay.UK trying to find headlamps and gauges. But no luck. So I guess I'm going to buy general gauges and a general headlamp and build some brackets for it. But before I dive headfirst into this I want to know if anyone has had some experience with this conversion or a similar conversion and if they have any advice. That way I don't make the same mistakes they do. More impo…
