    hi there i have tried most places and had no luck so this is my last resort, i have a 99' fazer 400 and ever since the heavy frost i have been experiencing an intermitant lack of power which is accompanied by a noise (like someone is putting their hand over the airfilter intake) along with irratic speedo readings. When this happens the bike will only rev to about 2000rpm thus i cannot get out of first gear and can only do about 10mph with the bike backfiring as well. Also if i put an indicator on the power comes and goes with the flashing of the indicator.(So this suggests electrical rather than carburattion) I have had the bike for 3.5 years now and this is the only fau…

    hi everyone. just a quick question i got a yamaha DT50MX, for its size it is a heavy bike and has knobbly tires, i usually drop to 3rd gear for cornering, about 25mph. how far can i go over (lean) before the tyres let go? (and they are brand new knobblies) on dry tarmac on a good day. i tried getting my knee down a few months ago on my sisters pushbike and ended up in somebodies garden with my jeans ripped and a lot of skin missing from my right knee, ever since then ive been a bit aprehensive about really going over incase i end up on my arse again

    had a slight spill on my r 125 and is gonna cost me near on a grand to replace all the panels on the left side and top of tank. but as only 2 panals are actually broken and rest just a bit scratched up i thought i may be cheaper to just replace the broken panels and then have it all sprayed. if i do end up getting it sprayed i thought i would go for the 2009 fiat paint job (might as well ay). anyone have any idea what sort of price i would be looking at. obviously if its cheaper to replace all panels then i will do that.
