The Bar

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

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…

Well.... I think Im going to paint my DT-r 50 SM in the near future..... is it just the same technique as painting a car bodykit? ie sand....sand and sand again ( obviously gradual between coats up to a 2000 grit..... filler plastic primer, sand sand sand, colour coat.....sand, laquer? I realise its a vague and poor description but is that how you paint the plastics? Also do you need a booth or can you get away with a wind free warm garage? ( space heater ) After I have done all the fairings I think I might strip her down completely and spray the frame as well - she`s looking a little scabby by the foot pegs! I have only had this bike a few weeks and the buz…

hi all, i purchased what i was told a 1974 or 1976 dt400 enduro, no number plate, is there a site where i can trace the plate from the frame and engine numbers, or is there anyone who can trace them for me, thankyou very much. the bike is all there, needs stripping and refurbing, but hey, the engine kicks over, i brought it off my neighbour, it has been laying in between his shed and fence with a cover over it for the last 15 years, but it was last year he fired the engine up, with a struggle, but it did fire up.. FRAME NUMBERS 1483912 ENGINE NUMBERS 1470066 thankyou for any help

Hi there.....yet again Im in need of help I took my DTr 50 supermotard out yesterday and the oil light was on. I looked in the 2-stroke mix tank tand there was plenty, and it seemed to go down after Id used the bike. She felt VERY slow, ( even slower than normal - struggling to hit 30mph on the flats and wont even go over 30 down hill - she used to go 50mph down hill ) and couldnt even pull me up small hills. I took out the plug which was black and cleaned it up but it made no difference so I have ordered an ngk iridium one. I also took the exhaust silencer apart and cleaned it and the same with the air filter but still made no difference Im new to bike …
