Hey all, I'm new here and lookng for some help. i have an 88 fz 600 (not fzr, just fz, no genesis head etc) I bought it last september in pieces from a guys garage who couldn't get it back together. yesterday I finally had it started up and revving well, the problem is in neutral it started and revved, (it's on a swing arm stand) but when i clicked it into first to test the tranny, the back wheel started spinning, clutch pulled in and all. I have other old bikes that do this too so i stuck my foot on the tire to stop it, but it wouldnt stop so i can only think that the clutch was engaged, so i id what i could to shorten the cable and even manually held the sprin…

I brought a j reg yamha dt125r For 550. It was in good condtion cosmeticly with a dep exahust sytem. 30miles after riding it, it just cut out Took the head off and was told to replace the piston but it wasn't seized. I was also told to get it running and sell or rebuild the engine because soon it would need a new big end baring. I left the bike dry stored for a week and now the conrod wont move up and down and part of the crank ( the big cricle things beside the conrod have flat spots on them and feel slightly bumpy. My question is what is wrong with my bike. Should I fix it or sell it as a non-runner (I can get the engine spilt ext without taking it to a garridge). How m…

Early Hours of Monday morning my 59 Plate WR 125X was stolen from Swindon, SN5 post code. Its white and Black, and totally standard bar a small rear plate. Reg is HY59 YUB Believe it was lifted using a van or similar, as was taken quetly from outside the house near an open bedroom window. The Bike is datatagged, so if you are offered parts please be vigilant. It probably being ranted across a field by some pikey scum now, but should you see anything please let me know. Thanks Exactly same as this:

Hi All, I've just purchased a "1984" (Mfr date on frame says 4/83) Maxim 400 with 6800 km. I've done the basic tune up work and put on new tires. The mechanic I had it at said it looks great but there's normal wear and tear on the rubber parts, cracking, fading, etc. I'm not very handy but I'm hoping to learn a bit with this bike to get familiar with some basic things. Me, I'm 30, new to bikes. Took a couple of safety courses last year and got my M2. I live near Ottawa. Mike

hi im new on here.i dont own a yamaha yet but i have got my eye out for rxs 100.hope to have one soon

Hi All. Everytime i switch my engine off on my 2002 R6 the trip computer resets. Anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? its driving me nuts!!!! Cheers Ewan

Hi guys, im new here, yesterday i was driving home from work and all of a sudden the bike jus seemed to die, as if it was losing revs radpidly, wen i tried reving it it sounded like it was struggling to tic over and as if it was flooded, so i turned it off, left it a few minutes and tried agen, but still the same. Im not quite sure but i think i touched the clutch leaver up while i was driving without the clutch in, not sure if that would make a difference or not. How ever i changed the 2 stroke oil a few days before. But other than that i dont know what it could be. Wondering if any of you guys would know cheers, by the way its a dt125 r on a 03 plate 4k on the c…

Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to gaining as much info as possible from you all as I am about to collect a 1999 Marlboro R6 that has been cherished for the last 10 years by it's current owner. I am also very pleased to be back on two wheels. I have owned many bikes in the past, mainly 2-strokes which I still love to death! Pound for pound there is nothing that comes close in the car world to the cost/performance calculations. Whilst I will miss running a fast car the high fuel costs are now a total joke. Regards Mat

ok i got this bike 1979sx1100 it cranks fine i cheek all power but i have no spark at all but i do have power at the coiles what is wrong or what am i over looking

hi everyone i was thinking of selling my yzf600r thundercat with 24500k on the clock with plenty of paperwork for work thats been done but not sure what a good price would be 2 ask for it if anyone has any ideas i would be reatfull thanks

G'day all! Been a member for a while and never really post so take this opportunity to show off my toys Finally got my new toy for general use and fun! I say new... but new to me, 02 Mini Cooper which is a lovely step up from my Ford KA! I just love the central locking, haha as that was my main must have with a new car. Fairly low mileage for an 8 year old car at just 39,OOO Had to be good old British Racing Green with go-faster stripes! On a more depressing note... the summer toy is now for sale to pay off the rents for my new mota! Timing couldnt be better with the gorgeous weather we ware having!!! Just got 12 months tax, going for MOT next wee…

Been out on my Bike all-day great fun in this weather I love it but now its time for the Pub.

I was in the Yamaha Dealership yesterday to put a deposit down on a YZF-R125 and seen the price was £4095, isn't that a bit much? Does anyone know why the price would be that high,
