Has anyone used Scottoiler FS 365 Protector? Is it as good as it says? How often has it got to be applied? I use my bike everyday no matter what the weather. Any info will be very much appreciated.

I am going to fit the scottoiler on my S2. has anyone fitted one on their bike?

Hey guys I am looking at getting an SCR950 at the end of this month and I was hoping some of you guys may have one and have added various accessories to it. I know Yamaha don't do many official accessories and there are tons of 3rd party ones, but I am unsure as how many may actually work. A more comfortable seat and paniers would be the main things I would be after. Does anyone know if you can get these for the SCR950? Thanks in advance Jon

Hi peeps. Im sure im opening myself up to a barrage of "whatever you pay for it when your pissed foamy!" posts, but is there any specific guideline value for scrap bikes? Reason being the MC club at Cosford has recently started up again and there is F1 CBR600 Hurricane sat in the storage shed in pretty rough shape with flat tyres, no front fairing e.t.c and they've asked me to sort it out with the registered owner who has since left the services or they will have it scrapped. ideally i was going to break it for parts but am wondering what sort of price i may be looking at for it. cars tend to be £100/tonne at scrapyards but i cant seem to find any reference to mo…

Hi all, I am considering buying a Yamaha Midnight Star XVS 950 cruiser motorbike but have one problem. I have seen in a lot of youtube videos the footboards scraping the ground when turning and this seems to be quite an issue with the bike. It doesn't have great ground clearance. However, there must be a way to stop this? I was wondering if there is anything you can get to add to the bike to stop this? Maybe some kind of small rollers to fit on the underside of the footboards to stop the scraping? Or some protective material to protect the actual metal from scraping? I am not keen on having to replace the footboards all the time! Any help?

Hi Guys Just purchased a Black Yamaha WR125X, and I have to say I love this motorbike except for one thing: the plastic panels. They scratch very easily . Does anyone know of a good polish or wax that will get rid of these scratches and give a nice shiny finish? any help would be much appreciated.

Hi folks, I stupidly scratched the tank yesterday with my tank bag (think a small stone was caught between the bag and the tank). The scratches don't seem to be too deep. Can anyone advise from experience which products would best sort this out ? The bike is black in colour. Cheers Mal.

Hi does anyone out there know where I can get a windscreen for a 2005 YBR 125? I know there is one made by yamaha but is there any from other manufacturers out there? Cheers Jimbosimbo

Folks, sorry if this is inappropriate, but: Screw eBay! www.bikesforbikers.co.uk is now open for business! Like most of you probably, we (me & 2 mates) were getting pissed off with eBay's monopoly. SOOOOO…. My mate had the brilliant idea of starting our own auction site, exclusively for bikes & bike parts. We’ve spent the last few days setting it all up, and it’s live NOW. It’s “under development”, and also remember that we don’t have eb*y’s coffers, so it’s a simple set up, so it’s not as slick, but it does everything we think we need!

Does anyone know how to get a light scuff mark out of the rear plastic, I caught it with my boot getting off the bike over the weekend, and being gloss black looks worse than it really is, any ideas?

Hi all. New to this site. I've got a sdr 200. Owned since mid 90's. U.K. Registerd bike. Please use thew wanted section please use the for sale section But not sure if anyone is intrested in these bikes anymore. Regards Dean.

Hi all does anyone know where I can find an SDR200 in the UK? Tried the most obvious methods and ebay all to no avail,any ideas folks. Regards and merry christmas to all. Pailo.

Question please. Previously (for 11yrs) I had a 1980 Yaaha XV750SE originally a Jap market one. Now I have a 1981 Yamaha XV750 but is it a SE or H? How to tell please. Log book does not say. It is from the USA. What is the difference between the models? Only difference I have seen is that my Jap market one had a red light come on at 50mph and a Kilo speedo. But thinking about when buying spares, anything to look out for? Baby's nappy weather here in west Kent today, wet and windy.

I'm facing a slight seat dilemma, the more I stare at the sr seat the more I want to burn it, just so horrible like who would design such a thing?! Basically I'm looking for a seat a bit like Thin and just like this, simple plain black, cheap too hopefully, can anyone direct me in the right place? Don't know how long I can last with the current seat ugh!! I've already had a brief look and can't seem to find much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
