Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to have the engine block refurbished? The previous owner obviously didnt wash down after a ride on the salty roads and now the surface is pitted and looks quite rough. I could try doing it myself I suppose by taking the downpipes / radiator off but just wondered if there are people out there who could do this? Bike is an 04 FZ6 by the way Also is there any quick way of removing the downpipes? the stud nuts are very badly corroded and I expect they will snap when I try to loosen them. many thanks

hey peeps just been outside to start the DT up and make sure everything is fine, ended up getting the twitches and had to grab my helmet (giggity) and take it for a spin, got back and decided to give the (new) swingarm a scrub down to remove a bit of the salt and sh*t from the roads, noticed that although the new swingarm has only been on for a month or two its already going rusty, and when i scrubbed the rust off the paint also came off with it. now rather than take the swingarm off and respray it every couple of months would it be possible to powdercoat it for a bit more protection?, ive already had one swingarm rust through in a year and replacements are getting …

Hey peeps i know this is a Yammy forum but need some help/advice with the sound system in my swift. basically i got a 500w subwoofer currently plugged in and running on a 10/12AWG power cable (supports maximum 800w), also got a 680w Amplifier for my 6x9s but these aren't connected to the stereo (waiting on an extra RCA cable). now, the sub and the speakers together are rated 1100w maximum output, so i cannot run both on my existing power cable. im swapping the existing power cable to the sub to a heavier 8AWG (1500w) cable tomorrow, im then planning to run the smaller 800w cable to my 6x9s' amp (piggybacking the spades from my subs amp), would this create problem…

I currently own a Yamaha YBR 125, and am looking to put a new set of tyres on it. Due to all the snow here, whats the best kind of winter tyre I can use on such a small bike? Similarly, any advice on summer-friendly tyres? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks

I am just fitting the electrics on my XS650 chopper and am wondering what size battery I can get away with. There is no electric start, just lights and electronic ignition to run. I want a small battery to fit under the seat. I have seen some electric scooter batteries at 4Ah which are very compact sealed lead acid. What has anyone else used?

Hello all, i just disconnected the clutch cable on my drag star, and put it back (working on the handlebar). I measured the exact position of the 2 nuts at the lower end of the cable. Put everything back the way it was, but now i notice that when the bike is in gear, and i pull the clutch lever, it doesnt seem to be completely free rolling, as if it was in free. I tried adjusting the nuts so the clutch gets pulled more, but it doesnt seem to help. Is that normal? Should the bike feel completely free when i pull the clutch lever? thanks Peter

I have a an old 82 RS125 that is kicking about the garage, got 2 of these to restore 1 to its former glory but I was wondering what to do with the old girl? My mate has an old DT175MX kicking about, bike is rotten but engine seems to be in better nick, so was thinking if it possible to fit the 175 motor in the RS frame? Then somehow trying to route the 175 pipe through the frame... Or is there a straight through pipe for the 175? Obviously the downside of this is that the DT motor is not designed for long haul road use but surely with a change in sprocket settings and tweaking of the motor we should be able to squeeze more out the top end rev range. Let me know what …

Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials. “Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.” The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, “growing tired of throwing fak…

found this on another site. This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race. A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot…
