    Hey there guys. After much deliberating and late nights with colour charts, I have finally picked the colour for my 1985 Yamaha FZ400. The first picture is how i got it, £70 off ebay. LOL. And the second is how it is now. Almost ready for MOT. I'm still havin trouble with the alternator. Its not charging the bike. Don't know how to go about it. Any ideas? Thanks for looking. Phil. Safe biking.

    Check out this guy. Decided that best way to clean his chain was to put his bike on the stand, start it, put it into gear then use a rag. Can you guess whats gonna happen........ My link

    Hi All, Just bought a 1988 TZR 125 today! being dropped off tomorrow. It's my first bike, so I thought i'd get something cheap to learn on for a year or so. Ive got a question! apparently it's got a manual power valve. The valve is closed at the moment as the bike has had a rebuild and is being run in - what does this mean exactly? I'm new to 2 strokes as i've always had cars. When i've run the bike in, what can i expect perfomrance wise if i open the power valve? The bike also has a stainless exhaust. Cheers, Paul.

    Was taken from outside of my house on the night of 27th (Feb 09) or morning of the 28th. It's red, the clutch lever was half snapped off (was about to fit a replacement), has a metal thing on the back for top boxes (and my Givi plastic plate attached).. the plastic around the headlight is slightly cracked due to coming off of it a month or so ago. Registration S544 RNT - it's datatagged too. This sucks.

    Hey there everyone. I'm stuck. I have just finished re-building my 1985 FZ400. Got it all back together and looking great. The problem is I took it out for the first time yesterday down some back roads to make sure everything was ok for the MOT. But..... After no more than 5mins of riding the battery went flat. It was fully charged before i went out. It started fine and idled well. but when it came to accelerating the power was allover the place. Major back fires. Like a firework display. Also it got really hot and the engine was smoking bad. I don't know whether the water pump and radiator is plumbed in correctly. I can't find any info on it anywhere. Any advice or feedb…
