to anyone who might know whats going on, i have an 1985 FJ 600. not sure what the problem is, i had it running fine about 2 days ago, but now when i try to start it up all i hear is this weird clicking noise coming from the battery or around the battery. the battery is brand new. any help would be appriciated. -tyler

Thought I'd drop in and say hello. Currently riding an FZS1000 Fazer and a 2002 YP250 Majesty scooter. Also considering buying an SRX400. Any comments on this, anyone? I fancy something a bit different and it seems to fit the bill, but I don't know much about them. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers TJ

hi everyone. found out yesterday that the jawa has an automatic clutch, meaning that when you move the gear lever to change gear, it will disengage the clutch, select the gear and wont engage the clutch again until you move the lever back to centre without even having to touch the clutch lever. is this a common thing on most bikes and how does it work? im quite amazed, lol!

just wondering whats happening with the stickers? how far have yuou got with them?

Hi all, As you can see from my bike, I'm new(ish) to bikes having bought myself a TDR125 to get through my test. Actually, I grew up around bikes and always wanted one, but had to wait until my old man passed away to get my first bike. Although he had bikes from the age of 12 until he was in his 50's, I wasn't allowed near them! Anyway...my TDR is a German import. It's a great little bike, but it will need some tlc over the year. I am really shocked at how little information there is about bikes on the net. I emailed Yamaha and got a polite reply saying they knew there was "more to be done." I don't even know what model my bike is. So far, any replacement part…

hi, just joined this forum and was looking for any helpful advise before i buy a fz6-n (fazer 600) 2005. anything to look out for. many thanks

Greetings fellow members I new to this forum and furthermore the biking world. Will have had my licence a year in August (yey) so yes I am still green. I recently bought my second bike, its a 600R TCat. Its curently got 22.5k miles. I am informed that I can increase the lifespan of my engine by getting the engine re-built etc. Can someone please grace me with their experience and awesomeness and tell me what the average cost may be for a rebuild. When is a good time to consider getting one? What other kinds of things to consider when getting major work done to her? Obviously regular service oil filter etc..... And what kind of mileage to get …

Sorry that I was unable to notify the reason for the site being down for the last day, I had to immediately take down the forums as we had been infilitrated by spammers which were sending out thousands of emails and PM. It was noted at one point 1500 emails per hour were being sent and the quickest way to deal with this was to immidiately take down the forums until the solution had been resolved. IPB the makers of this software have just realised a patch which has fixed this issue. http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/2829...ip-board-2-3-6/ Thanks to all of those who have pointed out the spam messages and notifying us of the site down time.

Long story short, bad work injury at 17 ripped the big deltoid muscle in my back, yes ouch. Sorry, fing ouch. So neck movement is limited as far as up and down is concerned. Secondly i maybe could have been a little kinder to myself as a kid and as a result my knees dont like being cramped up. You can see where this is going can't you. I bought the suzuki cos my neck could never handle a super sports and i dont like naked muscle bike stuff. Trouble is last year i put more miles on the DT than the suzuki as i would sooner take that cos its easier and more fun!!! Well as a result of that ive been looking for something to replace the suzuki with cos my neck is being …
