The Bar

Hi i'm Nick from Illinois - I just bought a 76 XS500 seems in good shape but not running.I only paid 150.00 with a good title. I've read alot about this bike and see it had several problems oil leaks and such hard to get parts but I've always wanted to ride so here i go...this is my first bike so i do have a few questions...1st what kind of Oil should i put in it? synthetic? weight? and how about a filter? oil and air filters - where do i find them? and a new tank the one on it is FULL of rust..I empted and rinsed it but it is still FULL.I don't really like the Square style can i just buy a new one / where? or is it possible to get this one working again? ok and is there …

Oh dear! Next week I am having to go to do a proper job for the next few Months. I have spent the last 8ish years working for myself on various contracts but the latest one means that I will be employed until 2011. No more working from home for a while, I will have to get up and dressed in the dark, a morning commute to Nottingham, having to put on a suit, shirt and tie. Oh dear!

hey any one know where to fine a springer front to fit sr500? at a good price you know under $400.00

Happy birthday Steve.

my son as gone and bought a dt 125 but as no nu plate or log book how do i get them..

Hi all, I have recently purchased my third Yamaha YZF R1 a 2006 model in black, What a machine and a big step up from the 2002 model? Ok I am trying to adjust the headlights as they dazzle oncoming and light the sky aswel as every road sign for 200yards lol, Need help as unable to find the info in manual? Marc

Just like to say congratulations to Valentino Rossi won the world Championship on a Yamaha.

Just wondering here, with the amount of people who come on with the same question, "IE I have a DT 125 and want to make it go faster." Considering the frequency of the question would it not be worthwhile to have a sticky in the off road section that gives the folks some RELIABLE info, maybe a few web sites like DT.com or whatever its called. I'm not wanting to turn members away but those sites have dedicated blogs with instructions on "how to destroy your engine in the most expensive ways imaginable" i mean garage tuning. Some real advice for people. I would have thought its a pretty pro forma method to tune up a healthy DT, you know, standard methods for removing …

Can any one please help!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know of a locksmith who can 'clone' a yamaha R6 transponder key (i haven t got a red one). It will have to be in the UK as I am too scared to post the key in case I lose it and have a massive bill from Yamaha. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I posted yesterday and had some advise but this related to the non transponder type. Cheers

Picture this..... its Friday, you're looking forward to a nice ride tomorrow, Cornwall to Bournemouth. See some mates, see my mum, and then (wait for it) go and see Gary Moore. A mixture of friends, family and a guitar god. Only thing that might spoil it is the rain, but a new oversuit will fix that. Call Damerells in Indian Queens and tell them you're running late, can you pay for it over the phone and get them to leave it outside somewhere? "I'm only going to be 5 or 10 minutes late" I said...... "We'll wait for you" came the reply.... I hammered over in the pi$$ing rain.... got there SIX minutes late (45 minute journey in 33 minutes) and all the ba$tards had gone…

Looks like Yamaha are coming to the same party as BMUU, and developing a Super Tenere, 1200 in-line twin shaft driven bike with lots of things to break down..... (ABS, Traction Control) http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/super-tenere/ Even MoreCrapthenNews have pictures... http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/New-bikes/2009/October/oct2109-New-2010-Yamaha-Tenere-concept-is-made-of-cloth/?R=EPI-119428 Don't quite know if I'm exited or despondant.......

A woman golfer was horrified when her drive hit a man at the next hole, He clasped his hands at his crotch in agony, the lady rushed over apologising profusely and said "I'm a physio (dontcha know) and I could ease the pain if you'd let me, he agreed to let her try and She took his hands away from his crotch and put her hand down the front of his trousers "how does that feel she said"? "magic he said but my thumb still hurts like fuk"!
