The Bar

I have a yamaha tzr 125 that needed new clutch plates, I replaced these and the issue was not resolved. I was told later by a friend that they need to be put in a certain order and there will a differance beetween the plates to help or markings. I cant see any of this and all the 6 plates look the same. So is there an order or is there another issue im just not seeing.

right well my dad dosent like his XT660X so might be geting an aprilia dorsoduro 750cc so we are either going to sell my MT and keep the XT or get ridof the XT the XT has quill exhausts and is about to be dyno run and has some other mods the MT is standard apart from yamaha extras the MT is a 2006 and has 4000miles the XT is 2007 and has 2700miles hears both bikes the XT also has a hedight conversion so what one would you chose and why as im not sure what i prefer

Hi I have an FZR 400 1988 it has been of the road for a number of years and now my daughter wants to ride it as I put another bike through MOT on monday and was told the plate was to small even though it passed the last 3 tests I though I would make sure that the 400 plate was the legal size which I was told is 9" x 7" but I find that it sits in a holder on the back mudguard that is only 9" x 6" Can any one tell me if that was the size when the bike was made or maybe I have an import But the problem is that the extra inch will take it over the reflector which will also cause a fail and I do not want to cut and modify the rear unless I realy have to Thanks Gerald

you have not got the only one of those east european piles this one is ride away JAWA

anyone have ear piercings? what's it like using a motorcycle helmet with the piercings in?, especially if they are fresh... imparticular scaffolds

I've just bought a 1992 XJ600, which might, or might not, be a Diversion. Does anyone know what the difference is, please, or are they the same?

came across this http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/motorbikes/905016 has anyone owned/ridden one before? if so what are they like? (put the mouse over the picture to enlarge)

Soo i have my cbt on my sh*t slow 50cc, sadly its not a yam, but i am going onto my 125 in the next couple of days and i went to check out if i needed to do a CBT on a 125 because of the gears, and apparently you dont have to.....confused much, the guy said its a propper loop hole in the law, On the bright side of things thou it means i dont have to pay £100 for my cbt again and can ride on my birthday WOOO

Well it seems to be the fashion around here to introduce yourself so here goes....... I'm TQ, I'm 21. I used to ride bikes a few years ago (Gilera DNA 50 and Honda NSR 125 between the ages of 16 and 17) but haven't for the last few years. I've wanted to get back on a bike ever since I sold the last one so recently I finally got round to it and booked some lessons. I did my CBT yesterday, got my Module 1 booked for the 15th and all going well will have my full license about a week after that. Picking up a 1997 XJ600N tomorrow which I'm going to have to just sit and look at for a couple of weeks before I pass my test but then I don't think you'll be able to keep me of…

I have a 1978 Yamaha XS400 and need the setting for the float level and the pilot air screw (number of turns). I bought a Haynes manual but it does not list the correct setting on the 2E. Does anyone have this info? - David100

BUT THE LATEST ONE IS A TWAT HAS HAD HIS MOAT, AND YES YOU DID READ THAT RIGHT MOAT, I.E WE LIVE IN A CASTLE, CLEANED, HOW THE FCUK ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH THIS???

Does anyone know any good websites for buying a DT 125 enduro from 1980/81 that will be in reasonable condition, much appreciated.

I came out from work to find my fz600 lying on its side. Clutch lever broken and indicator smashed, Anyone know a good place for parts? Only just returned to biking last week.

had a crash last night on my dt 125 the worst site il ever see is my bike laying on the floor , i didnt care about my injuries i just care that my bike is okay rather me than my bike lol stupid taxi drivers (no offence to any1 if they are a taxi driver on here ) lol

Well as the weather was nice the Divi came out & had a run to Stratford Upon Avon had a bit of a look around the city ... then I came across some barges on the river/canel area &there was 2 guys performing in just thongs .. I'm sure the one was Barwell . Its worth a run to just to see all the odd bikes & Trikes .... There was an old reliant which had been turned into a Trike (rather than plastic pig) but heyho each to their own ! Regards Jim

so its gone midnight, i sit here at my computer, wide awake, sipping coffee and listening to my iPod... its 3 minutes past midnight... so thought i should say good morning... that is all...

Hi all, Ive just got my sticky paws on an old '81 XJ550. Not too bad but runs a bit lumpy and there are the inherant clutch noises and the odd oil leak, as you would expect from a bike this age. Im hoping to rebuild her as soon as I can, and modify her in a few ways, prob streetfighter her a bit. I thought I would join this forum as it looks a good place for info, and maybe even sourcing parts. Thanks for having me !

Just joined the forum today and wanted to say hello to everyone. I just came back to riding after a few years break, I picked up an old 87 FZ600 on ebay last week. Not bad condition considering the year.

Just had a Pigeon full in the face. All I got is a busted visor and a little bump on my nose oh and a headache . Feel I've had my monies worth out of the visor though
