    I am new to this forum. I have been really interested in buying a used Yamaha R6, any year. I know that people wreck on these things all the time. What are the most important things I should look out for when looking at used R6's? Any advice would be super appreciated. As an example, I saw this bike, but I don't know about it... http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&a...d=4&cat=144 Thanks!

    My son bent his forks on his little FS1se 50cc chop, well an off duty traffic cop ran into him - coppers fault as always of course, and well Im stumped. I cant suss out how to unassemble them. Taken top cap off and there appears to nothing else to loosen remove just one big pull to seperate fork leg and stantion. Anyone know if the fork legs are the same as another model, the stantions are ok forks bent and to be honest a little rough so replacement ones would be benefitial although current ones could be straightned and still pass MOT. Cheers FrankG Oh what fun we adults have playing with our childrens toys !!!!
