Hi guys. Just need a bit of advice..... got an FZ400 with a knackered exhaust. Obviously a replacement isn't easy to get hold of..... would I be able to fit a can from an FZ600? What problems would I come up against trying to fit one from say, a CBR400? (Apart from the obvious thing of the brackets being in a different place...) While I know quite a bit about cars, and have done a lot of the mechanical side of the bike, I really don't know about this type of thing and boy do I feel stupid lol. Cheers for any advice :-D

Hey im new to this, just got a 1973 dt 125 2 stroke and it wont start. I got fuel and spark and cleaned the carb. What are the carb settings for that ?

Well, the FZR is gone :-( Was a reluctant sale but had to go to boost the finances due to work being slow. So does that mean i'm now a forum reject seeing i dont own a Yam at the min? Would really like a Thundercat or Ace as next bike but will see what comes my way in few months. In meantime, my biking is limited to borrowin my dad's R1100RS beemer OR this..... Great fun to ride, just dont try to get your knee down! Reckon it'd still pass Foamy.....

I will be updated our facebook page once all is running correctly so please go there to check for updates. Cheers Alex

found this on another site Some years ago, in a small coastal Irish community, Paddy married a woman, Maggie, half his age, All was well at first until Maggie took delivery of a ‘woman's’ magazine and began to read things about sex. It soon became clear that she had never climaxed during sex and, according to her Grandmother, all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. To resolve the problem, Paddy and Maggie went to see the Veterinarian since there was no doctor within thirty miles who could be relied upon not to gossip. However, the Vet didn't have a clue about people. But he did recall during hot summers, his mother and father would fan a…
