Hi guys, I wondered if someone could help me with a query regarding replacing the handlebars on my 2012 XJ6N. I recently came off the bike at a pretty slow speed and only did a small amount of damaged which included bending the handlebars slightly. I'm looking into replacement them with the cheapest option possable. Has anyone replaced their previously and can off any help / advice of what bars to buy? Cheers, Nate.

Hi everyone, just thought i would introduce myself and say hello. I'm a recent member of the biking fraternity. At 34 years old and as a life long petrol head i decided three months ago to take the plunge and get my licence. I'm now the proud owner of a '56 plate black FZ6 Fazer. I think it's a good machine to get me started. The whole experience has been very humbling and rewarding, i'm loving it. I have done nearly 3k since the end of July. I know that many of you will have been riding for a long time and will have vastly superior machinary to me and that's why i will soak up like a sponge any hints or tips anyone can give. I look forward to discussing all things bi…

Hey everyone. My name is Ryan. Im from Allentown, Pa. I am 18 and have been riding motorcycles and dirtbikes since I was 3 years old. And I started drag racing dirtbikes when I was 4. I used to race a Yamaha PW50 when I started. Then I stopped racing when I started school. But I kept riding dirt bikes and fourwheelers. Then when I turned 17 I bought a 1983 Honda Interceptor VF750F. I knew people that were friends with my dad that raced Interceptors back in the day and I always thought they were awesome bikes. So I rode that for a yer and put a bunch of miles on it and even took it to the dragstrip . It ran a 12.3 @ 108MPH. And my best reaction time was a .009…

Hello all, I know I have posted a few topics already but I feel rude as I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm from Wilmslow in Cheshire, I know nout about bikes. I have 2 children under 3 and as such I'm skint so hoping to do alot of maintenance myself and may call upon help from here! Motorbiking is something I have always knew I had to do, my partner doesn't understand it and thinks I'm an idiot but I just couldn't go another summer seeing everyone out on their bikes! So I recently picked up a bargain Yamaha DT125R - pic below. My aim is to keep it as original as possible and make it look spanking by sorting out the mismatched panels and giving it a genera…

What's up all, been a Yamaho owner/avid fan for years now, just found this forum whilst looking for information on some dirtys. Basically I'm looking to downgrade in the power dept. Not permanently mind you, but I've just realized that my riding style needs a little check and balance now and then. I feel that my R1 may need some garage time, and I could spend some seat miles on a sumo. I have an opportunity to purchase a YZ426F for a pretty decent price, and would convert it to street /sumo duty quite easily, only I need to insist on electric start for street duty, so my question is: How difficult is it to add the electric start from a WR426 to a YZ426F? Is it …

Well hello all, Thought I would 'pop in' and say hello - I read loads of posts on this forum before I bought my first bike and the conversations and general love for the bikes convinced me I was on the right path! Will be spending many hours picking peoples brains on here - I can't wait to learn all about them! Oh and in the end I bought a 2002 125 Drag Star... Loving it so far!
