Can any one please help!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know of a locksmith who can 'clone' a yamaha R6 transponder key (i haven t got a red one). It will have to be in the UK as I am too scared to post the key in case I lose it and have a massive bill from Yamaha. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I posted yesterday and had some advise but this related to the non transponder type. Cheers

Folks, Not long after getting my mitts on a 2000 R6 but unfortunately the user manuals been soaked and is virtually unreadable. Can anyone advise me on the best tyre pressures? Cheers!

I've got a mint 2001 r6 with an engine that needs repair or replacing due to a defect in one of the bores - decision time is do I pay £500+ to get a replacment engine /fix the current engine or sell the bike as spares/repair. The question is how much is a an R6 worth with an engine in it's current state??? On the engine front - if you had the choice between repairing the current engine (15k miles and v.clean) or buying a used engine (like hens teeth and cost £500 and up) what is the preferred option? If I rebuild the current engine it'll have a total rebuild including new pistons/rings, gaskets etc. although this will be around £700. Thanks, Peter

I wasn't really trying to push my 2005 R6 to it's limit, but on a clear French road, one day last year, I did find myself doing 144mph. By no means was I at it's 16,000 rev limit...and I only stopped at 144mph because I ran out of clear road. Have you redlined your R6, and how fast were you going? How fast will my 2005 R6 go, in your opinion?

Hi, ive got a R6 2008 and want to remove pillion footpegs but cant find any blanking plates anywhere, anyone know where to get some? any help would be much appreciated,cheers Dave

What do you guys think about this? I've got a friend who's done this in the past to a yzf750. How easy is it, and what do you'll think to the body panel conversion? I'm considering it...

does a 'not for road use' race can make it dificuilt to pull away smoothly? are they suited to flat out racing only?

i wanted to start racing this year, or take the school just to enhance my ridding and for a bit of fun. does anyone know what time of year the schools run and how much it costs to get through the whole thing? i live in the south west. (bristol) so schools nearish to that area would be beter, though, i havnt heard of many. cheers david

A well known fact: race stripes give any object atleast 50 more BHP!

Does anyone know any racing clubs local to somerset that a 16 year old could join? I'm rather interested in maybe taking up racing as a hobby or such like not as a professional sport just as a hobby so if anyone has any helpful info could they please share it Cheers

Hello all, i have a TTR 230 and i cannot decide what number to put on the number panels. Please help me i just cant decide.

I've seen this rack on a CB1300 at a local dealers, I like this rack as the black pad rotates to sit down as in the picture, or turns to form a more upright backrest. The dealer has no idea where it came from (was on the bike when they got it), but I realy like it (as will the missus). The problem is that I'm not buying the CB as I've got a better deal on a XJR1300. Has anyone got any idea what make this is, where I can get one, something similar - it's the spinny back rest I really like, so the tail fin things from Givi aren't really it.

Does anyone know where I can get a rear cam chain guide for my Radian 600? The part no is 4G012252-01.I have tried at my local parts shop but I have been told this part has been discontinued!! I would very much appreciate any info. Thanks Just Jan

Many thanks to ETHEREAL but have been watching 'e' bay for weeks without joy hoping for a breakers outlet in uk somewhere.Just have to keep trawling.

I am desperate to finf two missing panels for my Radian. These are the offside battery cover and the chrome/plastic panel that sits just infront and above the battery panel. Can anyone lead me to source for these please.

Guys I want to get a bike for this summer, and I was looking at this 1986 Yamaha Radian. It has 32k miles, has new O rings, chain and new oil. Fresh paint and seat. Its online so I have not driven it. is 32k miles too much, and how is the 32k mile mark Isnt it too much? Price is 750 or 800. Also, how is the Radian bike, is it good . I just need a nice bike that I can park on the streets of NYC and not worry about it being stolen.

Hi guys and girls My 17 yr old son loves riding my radian off the road, am thinking about giving it to him soon anyone got any views on restricting it to make this legal practice. regards the codfather
