Hi eveyone, I was just wondering if anyone could help.... I've just bought my first R6 (1999 model) and i'm very happy it's immaculate and perfect in every way , apart from 1 fault , when I turn the bike off my clock and tripometer resets, is this a common fault and does anyone know if its a simple fix or not?? Thanks

Hey Amigo!! hoos it hingin big yin?

Hello there, It's David Batchelor here, doing a story for BIKE mag. Thanks for having me on your super site - I wonder whether you might be able to help us again? We're doing a piece on bike tech - and we'd like to hear from anyone with a new, crossplane crank R1. We just want to know what you think of it, whether it lives up to your expectations/the hype/the price and how it compares to previous R1s and other machines you might've ridden. If that's you, you can ping us a passport-style pic of yourself, and you're happy to have your words printed in the UK's best-selling biking mag, then drop me a PM before Friday 4th Sept (yes I know it's very soon, but this…

New member here!! I am wanting get another exhausts put on my Vstar 650. I have looked at Vance and Hines as well as Cobra. I want it to be louder but still sound good. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi - I need some advice. I've recently bought a Dragstar XVS650. It came with low, 'T' type handlebars. I would like to fit more laid-back, cruiser type bars. I don't know what size to get, nor do I know where to measure the 'rise' of the bars from. I don't want the 'Hanging Ape' look, I something a little bigger than the standard 'stock' bars that come on the original. Can anyone help me with the sizes?

Guys/Girls, I really want to buy some Vance and Hines Cruzers for my 2004 XVS650A Dragstar classic to get rid of the wet fart noise my stock pipes manage... but I dont seem to be able to find anywhere in the UK that has them in stock. I have to admit I'm also a little confused about which ones fit an 04 classic if I'm honest! :S Any help / advice would be great. Got a lot of help with my last question and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Cheers! Rich

Just bought myself a new set of wheels - A Yamaha XVS650 classic Decided to go for the chopper look over the plastic coated ballistic missile Was a choice between this or an 883 Sportster - I think I made the right choice Mike

Hey, I am trying to find out the name of a piece of plastic on my bike so that I can buy a replacement for it. Unfortunately I'm new to all this and so I haven't a clue! On the following image it is the bit of black plastic that the indicator is attached to, runs from under the center of the headlight to somewhere just behind the indicator. Left hand side I am after. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Dave

Hello! I'm brand new to the website and forum and I already have a question! My 2001 VStar 650 is in the shop getting new tires and fork dust seals. A friend in TN is sending me a Memphis Shades windshield but no mounting hardware. I need to order the hardware but there is a difference between the Classic and Custom and I don't know which one is my bike (the manual is on the bike). Is there an easy way to tell which model is mine? I searched the 'net for VIN number decoders but didn't find how the VIN will tell me which bike I have. The VIN is JYAVM01E51A034110 if that helps. I'm glad to be here and I look forward to spending some time here and on the road. …

Read this in the Motor cycle news and was left with a lump in my leather pants throat, thought it should be shared, the tome that is-not the lump in my,,,,,well,,,you get it. (ahem) One could be forgiven for dubbing ‘refueling’ as the most uninvolving element to motorcycling (I won’t say boring, physics proves this impossible when bikes are involved). Sure, you have to stand and watch the counter with a steady hand, and remember to bring the money to pay with. But in comparison to say, normal riding, it isn’t as demanding. Those who ride will know what I’m talking about. The Zen like state of oneness one acquires when riding is, astounding. Anyway! the p…

Hello all, Looking for a Yamaha expert on wheels, can anyone tell which Yamaha bike these wheels are from. Both 17 inch, front 3.00 and rear 3.50 wide. This seems to be the standard colour and they are on a 1980 Moto Martin. http://www.photobox.co.uk/slideshow?album_...o_id=1898623397 Thanks Goss
