The Bar

Hello Everyone, This morning I took my module 1 test on my 1995 SR125 and I'm hoping to gain an A2 license, remaining restricted to 33bhp for 2 years. I passed (yay!), but was only given an A1 certificate because my bike was not on the examiner's list of machines capable of 100 km/h. He said if I could get a certificate of conformity for the bike, proving it could achieve the minimum speed, I could get the certificate upgraded. My question is, has anyone here taken their restricted A2 license on an SR125? I'll feel more comforted if others have done so, and it's just a case of getting the necessary paperwork. I'm not sure that I fancy taking the test again - I…

yamaha tw125 won,t start rode home parked up last night, tried to start this morning nothing. think there is a bad connection because the ignition comes on sometimes i just cant pinpoint the problem. When the ignition comes on i,ve tried to start it and it just cuts the power out, the power also cuts out when you press the front brake. Anybody any ideas?

Can someone post some pictures for me please??? i cant do it sadly.... and dont know how either

'Mock Ye May' but Ive just found an idea long handle, nylon bristled brush which is idea for cleaning those inaccessible parts of your bike and car. Its long nylon bristles can get in between the cylinder fins, exhausts and into parts other brushes cant reach. Oh - ere! I bet its useful for under the wheel arches etc on the car. The long handle saves the olde back! What is this fantastic device and cost? A bog brush. Only 49 pence from my local JYSK shop (but Im sure there is other cheap suppliers) Have you any penny pinching hot tips? ATB J

Hi guys, thought i'd join your forum. I ride a Fz1 Fazer. I hope to stick around for a while

Hi i Recently bought a 1997 DT175 and it needs new sprockets , what size would be ok , it seems that when ime in 6th gear and doing 90km , it sounds like the bike is running out of refs does any one know what the standard sizes should be ? and what sizes i need to get a good take of and good top-end ? Thanks

What am I like? I always put a disc lock on the bike whenever and wherever I park it, complete with a bright yellow reminder attached to the throttle grip to remind me it's on there I came out of work Friday 2nd Oct half asleep, started it up,revved up and went. Went about 9 inches and the bike totally collapsed under me.Luckily no damage to me or the bike, What a plonker!

I think it would be great, there is nothing out there for Yamaha sleds especially vintage sleds. This may not be a big deal for some people, but here in Minnesota and the great north woods we get snow. It would get used believe you me. THANKs tO All

Hi. Does anyone have any idea where I could buy a secondhand starter clutch for my Bt1100 Bulldog? The cost of the new part and other bits I will need plus fitting is not too shy of £700! I think this has the same engine as the XV 1100 so I'd imagine that would fit too? If anyone can help me with any information I'd greatly appreciate it. Regards, Dougie.

HEY THERE. JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF PHOTO'S OF MY 1985 YAMAHA FZ400. I GOT IT OFF EB@Y FOR A MASSIVE £70. IT WAS A NONE RUNNER AT ALL. DIDN'T EVEN SPARK. NOW IT HAS BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED TO THE BONES AND HAD EVERYTHING CLEANED RE-PAINTED AND PUT BACK TOGETHER. IT HAS HAD ALL NEW BEARINGS, NEW PADS ALL ROUND, NEW BRAKE LINES, NEW OIL AND AIR FILTER AND NEW CHAIN AND SPROCKETS. THE REAR SEAT UNIT IS OFF A KWAK 400. NEEDED ABIT OF MODIFICATION BUT NOW FITS LIKE A DREAM. THE EXHAUST HAS BEEN CUT DOWN AND SOUNDS AWESOME. IT IS READY FOR A FULL RE-SPRAY NOW BUT STILL UNSURE OF WHAT COLOUR TO DO IT. HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH THE MOT AND THEN I'LL BE BACK ON …

I'm 19 and when I turned 16 I did my CBT so I could ride a moped. Obviously the CBT has now expired but when it was valid I passed my driving test. Do i need to do another boring CBT? I've heard different stories some saying I do and some saying I don't. Please help!

Hi all, First post!! I have an 84' TT600 that was recently givin to me. I pretty much had to put the thing together from the ground up because it was in pieces. I got it all together, hooked up the electrical, and went to test the spark against the block. The odd thing is, i am getting very strong spark, but it isnt just sparking on the power stroke, but a constant, steady spark throughout all four cycles. Then just a few minuites ago i pulled the spark plug, put it back in, and there was no spark at all. I was thinking it was likely either the CDI or the ignition coil, but that is just guessing. Anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
