I got ripped off by a mechanic.

Does anyone know how I can get points for a 1981 yamaha xs 400 (and potentially an advance assembly and capacitor too?). Also, I am looking at a bike now, is there anything in particular that tends to be problematic with this bike that I should look out for?

Hi Everybody After 40+ years in the sadle finally got Divvy S. 1999 model low miles and generally good nick. Does have a few stone chips on the paintwork. Does anyone know where I can get some candy red paint? Cheers Phil

Just got myself a shiny new diversion 600F. Very pleased with it. I have always had a Haynes style manual for all of my bikes, but can't find similar one, assume that is because it is too new. Anyone know of a similar one.

HI all, Now first of all I AM NOT offering cheap insurance so read on and find out why you should be careful of those that do! I am a LOT older than some of you and as such when working on the bike in the garage I listen to the wireless (radio to you youngsters) and today I heard that there is a new scam out there young riders should be aware of, if you look for cheap insurance and find a cracking deal be aware that some scum bags are offering really low rates for young driver/riders who are in fact NOT registered with the insurance bureau (THE MIB) that's not men in black but "Members of the Insurance Bureau", it's really important that you check that your broker/de…

Hello all.. I'm new here. There is an 82 Virago 500 sitting in the gargae thats been there about 12 years.. My parrents HAD been driving since it was new.. At some point in time the thing started losing spark.. My dad said the coils were bad.. (geting hot and shorting out) I end up buying it a couple days ago... I checked my spark.. And it appears I am only getting spark randomly on the front cylinder.. Not an overhreating coil.. It fires.. Then it doesn't.. So I decided to swap the wires that run to the coils.. And instantly the front jug was fixed and the rear starting missing.. So... It's obviously gotta be something ELSE in the system.. Like a pickup in the mot…

Morning ive got a dt 125 trenere its a Dakar rally rep I believe there quite rare has anybody got any info on these bikes or maybe got one as im trying to put her back on the road ?.

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...

Well as the title suggests, I am thinking of upgrading from my 1yr old XJ6 to an FZ8, as my local dealer are offering a pretty competitive deal and on 0% finance again. Wondered who has an FZ8 and if they can be honest about the good bits and bad bits. (I have also booked a test ride for 3 weeks time) just wanted others opinions too. Cheers in advance

So I bought a job lot of DTR parts and this carb came with it. It appears to have some kind of auto choke system on it. I've no idea what it is from but don't need it so want to list on this online auction site I've heard of Or if anyone on here needs it, make me a token offer and you can have it.

Does anyone know if dragstar front forks will fit an XJ 650??? I have bought an XJ trike and I really don't like the front end, I thought of using the dragstar front end as it's a lot cleaner and less cluttered..... If anyone has any other ideas, please shout up...... Bertie

Hey all, I'm new to the site. I've had my yamaha about two years now and would like to learn to fix it for myself. However, I would need to buy a haynes manual. Does anyone know where I could buy one from for a yamaha frz 400 grey import (1987). i've looked a lot of places but having no luck at the minute. I would really love the help. Many Thanks CJ x

Just been to my friends house and he was giving me a load of bike mags. Luckily (or unluckily for me)he found a load of old TT stuff from 1957 to 1960 in the pile. He's got a load of timekeeping information from a guy called Davis who passed away some time ago and he was the timekeeper for the BBC. Amazing stuff, all hand calculations with famous names like Surtees, Redman, Hailwood etc. It looks like he got involved in 57 with him being chief timekeeper in 1960. whats more the chap got invited to the Metropole Hotel for the TT soirees and another soiree for past TT winners. To top it all off on the back of the Metropole invite are a few signatures; …
