The Bar

Can someone please tell me how to upload a photo on this site, I'll then post one of the "New' ride.

Hi you lot, Saw a similar post somewhere a few years ago, (You should have SEEN some of the responses:) .. Got me to wondering, WHAT, IF you had the $$$'s, would you have sitting in your garage (Read:Lounge/Bedroom). ..

I've recently bought an 02 R6 with only 3k on the clock, all original and no tell tale signs of excessive hard riding. I have put about 300 miles on it and twice now (only twice) at hard acceleration it has jumped out of gear, part of me feels if there was a problem it would happen far more often another part feels that there must be something wrong. Is it possible for the rider to not quite put it in gear solidly enough so it does jump out at high revs or is it a case of if it's in it's in and shouldn't come out? Any help would be good. Bazza

hi all, am an R1 owner, third year with it now and still love it....virtual pint on me for everyone and hope to see you all out on the road....just bought a new zx10 this year but will be keeping the R1 ooh forgot to say am in Alton, hampshire and a339 territory....

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.

Hi, I'm lance. live up near carlisle up north, 23, and own a 2007 r6, (well, getting a 2008 one next week!) Have had a few bikes, from a little DT50, then a suzuki dr350 through to a Fzs fazer 600, a cbr 600, and the latest is my r6. By far the best bike i've owned, much lighter and more agile than the older cbr. anyway just saying hi, no doubt speak to everyone in hear at some time! will be out in the summer too, normally hit hartside pass, if anyone else on here is ever out and about that way.

Hi folks Not sure if anyone can help me , but i am purchasing an FZR thou Exup RU, 1991 on a J plate subject to her being HPI clear etc. I have the chassis number etc and just wanted to confirm that it's definitely a uk bike and not an import. Would anyone know what number and letters etc the uk bikes chassis numbers are so that i can confirm ? Had a gixxer 750Y that i sold last year due to personal reasons and now fancied something else, but not quite as dear. Will i notice much difference in power , handling etc. If anyone has an opinion of the RU i'd love to hear them, good or bad. Many thanks in advance. CD

I have just about got R.S.I. of the finger trying to find Sliders or Crash (Fall) Protectors for an FZR 1000, they seem to exist for everything BUT !!.. Has anyone seen them ANYWHERE in the world, .. Its getting to the stage that I may pay some crafty guy person to actually make me up a set.. ANY help/Advice would be muchly 'preciated .. Ta. Kurnai..

Milady Doom is having difficulty coming to terms with the rear seating position of the XJR. It seems the footrests are higher than the Divvy 900 we owned previously and this is causing her considerable discomfort in the knees. This is a cause of distress to both of us. I wonder if there exists an extender for the footrests to lower them and set them further forward. Or a replacement footrest hanger. Or anybody out there who would feel confident to fabricate such an item or knows somebody who would. Any suggestions eagerly received otherwise the whole new bike exercise has been a rather expensive waste of time. By the way, this was mine:- http://www.dkmotorc…

What a great result for us brits! The boys are showing the rest of them how to do it! Give them a desent bike and let them do the talking. Granted it's only Q's but .7ths quicker than the rest! Same yam don't do a 125cc MototGP??? Kep the good work up lads, and lets forget our 3rd brit sat in 7th! COME ON BOYS!!!! Lets show the spanish and the rest of europe how we wish we could do it like you!

I wanna get an 03-04 plate r6 and i have absolutely no idea what their common faults are. what should i look for? im not a total noob in buying and selling, its just that i am pretty clueless about the r6. what should i ensure that the bike should have as part of its service? im looking at one currently and there is like 4 owners on less than 7k mileage. should i be put off this? is there any common gearing problems, bad idling, coughing etc problems i should be on the lookout for if and when i go for a viewing? cheers for your help!

ok on my r6 my clocks said i was doing 175 . how accurate is that ?? ive seen one on utube doing 290khm that 180 mph
