Emma Freud in this case she has just slid down my list from fairly high up too just above Robert Mugabe Disabled bikers snubbed by comic relief

him all just thought id share my bit of bad and good fortune with you all. last saturday i was out for a run when the rear shock on my fzr snapped but managed to get the boke back home,about 50 milesSLOWLY.did some trolling around the net for some prices for a new shock,didn't realise they would be so expensive about £400.so went on ebay and found the exact yamaha part i needed,unused,nobody else bid on it and i got it for 50quid result. just waiting for the bike shop to call me to get my bike back today.cant wait.

As promised took these today

I had my WR fully rewired a while ago and was told by the guy that because it's DC or AC or whatever he couldn't add indicators. Still charged me an obscene amount for the job, granted he did a tidy job and I've never had issues with it since. Was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to how I'd go about doing this as I've seen some WR's out there with indicators on them. I've got the indicator switch on the handlebar already. many thanks John

:blink: HELLO ALL!!! MY NAMES BRANDON AND I AM OF COURSE A NEWB, BUT I NEED HELP. I am going to be buying a 87 or 88 fz 600. its only got 5,000+ miles on it. i know about dirt bike, however this just so happens to be my first street bike. Needless to say i am super excited but i just don't want it to be a money pitt. so heres the deal when i stick the key in i will get cranks and no spark, I was reading last night. and saw another guy had a simular problem. the cdi on my bike was just replaced part bought from ebay. and same with the magneto coil I believe that the name. the other guy said he replaced those same part and got good results so since I already hav…

i have a 1998 dt 125, and it is reli reli rubbish on petrol, it has a "Big one exhaust" and the jet has been changed from a 240 to a 210 i think( my mate told me that allowes more petrol into the engine or something) thats about it but my mate has a xr 250 and he is getting 2 solid days of riding out of his bike off a fiver, i am getting like 1 day of riding off a fiver, just wondering is that normal for my bike or would there be anything wrong?

Hi all, As you can see from my bike, I'm new(ish) to bikes having bought myself a TDR125 to get through my test. Actually, I grew up around bikes and always wanted one, but had to wait until my old man passed away to get my first bike. Although he had bikes from the age of 12 until he was in his 50's, I wasn't allowed near them! Anyway...my TDR is a German import. It's a great little bike, but it will need some tlc over the year. I am really shocked at how little information there is about bikes on the net. I emailed Yamaha and got a polite reply saying they knew there was "more to be done." I don't even know what model my bike is. So far, any replacement part…

thinking of getting a an off road bike, something of the four stroke variety, about 250 to 500cc, not for any kind of competition just for fun, does anyone have any tips. any kind of info would be welcome.

I was tinkering with my bike today (for the first time ever), and I managed to fix a problem (air filter and box getting filled with oil when the engine is hot, then dumping it all over the road when I stop). I went out for a 60mile round trip, and ... no leak, no smoke..........BLISS That feeling of having managed to fix a problem on your own (with the help of the YOG forum) was f***ing amazing! Considering I'm a complete newbie when it comes to bike mechanics, I was chuffed, almost as much as passing my test with only 1 minor after being certain I'd failed it at the first roundabout! Anyone got other bike-related moments of bliss?

i get my bike today i carnt bloody wait really excited so ill be around and about most of the day lol the mrs will gomad she be like where the hell you been all day
