Hi all, If anybody has a damaged fork tube/stanchion would you let me know? I am after the 'Shuttle' in the base of it, thats the bit with the plastic ring inside which is secured right at the base of the tube with a rolled lip (it's what the damper rod slides up & down in). I damaged mine when fitting a replacement and desperately need one, the bike has been off the road for over 2 weeks and it's costing me in train fares. If you have one then I only need the bottom few inches of the tube with the unit still inside, I have tried various breakers but all their tubes are straight and usable. The bike is a May '03 FZS600 Fazer, but I'm pretty sure that…

Good to join the forum. I've just aquired a rather sad 1974 RD350. Can anyone in England tell me where i can get replacement exhausts for her? Pattern would be ok. Any help would be appriciated. Cheers

IS it me or have the government just shot them self in the foot yet again??? i notice that they would like people to stop spenidng money on booze from a supermarket and want you to go to the local pub... Well why did in todays bill they just put more tax on booze??? Clearly not clever, and then the car market, we will give you £2000 towards a new car if you scrap your old one, yet we will also put up petrol tax too because we dont feel we are making enough money, yet most of the petrol price is tax anyways...... what do you all think???

I have just finished restoring a 1982 dt50mx, the problem is I can't get no spark, I've changed the Ignition coil, points, condensor & plug, Iv'e had the source coil rewound, carried out various cont checks, still nothing. The inline diode that goes between the coil and stator has also been replaced. Iv'e conected a 24v test light to to check the output from the stator it seems to be producing current but I think its not enough to generate a spark. I've also tried a stator from a friend bike that I know works, still no spark. The ignition switch and the stop switch have been checked for any short circuits, Iv'e even tried with them dissconnected. Iv'e run …

Hi All. Just joined forum today Been riding RSV mille for 8 years but finally got an LC 350 after 2years of looking. chuffed ! Rode them at 17 - 20 in the eighties and never forgotten them. Love the RSV but the LC is in my blood = sound, smell, looks, skinny tyres ? awsome great to be back, even if it takes another 15 years to get it running right. I knew I shouldn't of sold my originals in 1984 pugrsvmille

thinking of getting a an off road bike, something of the four stroke variety, about 250 to 500cc, not for any kind of competition just for fun, does anyone have any tips. any kind of info would be welcome.

Hey All, I'm not sure if I'm in the right area to post an intro! Anyway, my name is Bazil from sunny Perth, West Oz. I bought my first 84 FJ11 in 97, kept it stock for a couple years & then decided to pull it all apart to do the usual mods to her. Well life & the missus soon got in the way, and it was sittin in the back shed (still in pieces) till last year when I suddenly got a bit of inspiration. Have had a few bikes in between, but as hard as I try I cant get the FJ's outa my system. I got half way thru the rebuild & and suddenly found another FJ11 on the net. This one was a show bike & I couldn't take my eyes off her. Immaculate! Had to have her! …

Hi there, now can anyone reccommend nice fitting girlie leathers???? Im sick of buying off of e-bay, I must have half a dozen sets now!!! and mmmmmm think they have shrunk over the winter??

Guess who won the R1 from the George White Superbike Blast today I nearly died after answering the phone!

G'day good people of the Yamaha forum I was just wondering what is the correct tyre pressure for my XJ900, I've been riding for many years but untill NOW I have never really needed to check the pressure due to never needing to check (something wrong there I know) Is there a web site where you can put in bike details and info is available? Please don't flame me for being a bad bad biker, unless the reply comes from Scott (USA) , Andy (Scotland) or KEEF (Aircooled land) Thanks in advance for any replies

Don't you just hate them? I took my bike to get a new piston fitted, was running sweet before it broke, I sent it to the garage, got a brand new piston and top end gasket fitted, and he has completely messed up the mixture and put the needle on the carb through the roof! seems like enough fuel is going through for a 125cc engine and it's only an 80cc, I told him not to because it's an aftermarket carb with race reeds, but he obviously took no note. It's obvious he hadn't even started it for more than 30 seconds let alone run it and set it up. Taking it in tomorrow morning so I can watch him set it up properly. Rant over Anyone else had bad experiences with dodgy mec…

Right then, just a quick one, R6 has had the run-in service a year ago. Is the service schedule every 6000 miles or every 12 months whichever is sooner? Stoopid question I know!?!

make love to my beauty queen wife
