I have a Yamaha RX-S 100cc and want to know what the size of the gap should be in the spark plug?

I'm wrecked! It's magic. Was oot on the R6 all day and oot on the bevvy all night. Tomorrow I'll suffer but for now I'll enjoy the pishedness. How now young chow. Viva tequila my little puppies. Viva!

anybody know the sparkplug cap resistance should be on a 1992 xv535 2yl ive got used coils and leads and they tested fine but would like to know if the caps resistance is important the plugs are ngk bpr7es

after two days of sorting my carb out,i found out my new sparkplug was a dud. which,makes me think what are all the numbers and letters on the plugs. and why when the plugs look the same.

Hi all went for a good hours ride last night I've all ready changed my air filter after a loss of power at 60 mph couple of weeks ago but tonight I lost power temporary and sparks were coming from exhaust.I pulled over bike idling ok give it a few revs and it seemed to clear and bike rode alright again the rear Dep back box is oldish not had the bike to long haven't checked spark plug at all could,any ideas plz sparky67

Where would be the best place to post a thread about making up special form screws made in stainless, (you know the sort of thing, changed all the corroded fasteners on the bike and there are a couple of annoying ones with big heads, shoulders or weird threads!) all i would need is a sample part to see if viable to make? Cheers machineshed!

Hi all please help I am changing my XT125x engine I need to remove the intake manifold to swap but the bolts are not of any I have ever seen they are like a star but with a center pin do I need a special tool if so where do I get one please help desperate to get the bike back on the road Lukyboi

Hey guys - how fast would this bike go with a regular tune up? http://www.governmentauctions.org/blog/index.php/2010/08/09/2000-yamaha-xt225-motorcycle-head-highway/?pId=3201

What speed can I ride my XVS 650 Cruiser after it's 1000km service without doing any damage to the motor as I am thinking of doing a small trip on the weekend?

Has anybody got one of these? I have only just found out about them, I'm tempted to get one now.

:pic anyone loves speed cameras :pic well if you do i just found this site should be able to plan a fast route now on those sundays rides 8) http://www.speedcam.co.uk/index2.htm if women had wheels we could ride them all day!

Hi guys, i have recently bought a yamaha xj600 diversion on a 92 plate it is a fantastic bike to ride but for some reason it is topping out at 70 mph it is very sluggish in 5th and 6th gear, i dont think its restricted has anyone got any ideas??? pete

Seems like the powers that be want to bring in speed limiters and other things to take some of the control of bikes out of the riders hands, not good i think, if you object please sign the mulhouse decleration http://campaign.publicaffairsbriefing.co.u...1f-8f18b73ecd92 A clip from the MAG website EVSC - ISA - No To Throttle Control - No To Control MAG re launches its 2001 campaign to oppose the compulsory fitment to privately owned vehicles of any device designed to arbitrarily remove control from the driver to remote operation and asks all vehicle users to sign the Mulhouse Declaration. MAG President Ian Mutch was emphatic about the issue. "Let's keep …

Just a heads up, Guy martin's Speed is back on with a 2nd series

So what do you all think about this crap idea to restrict bikes. Who wants a bike that can only do 65 mph They are banging on bout the bloke in chelmsford nicked doing 110mph along a road that if you know as I do is fairly safe. leave the bikers alone and sort out the 17 year olds in hot hatches 4 up and only a couple of weeks driving behind them. Makes more sense to restrict cars (Then they wouldnt get in our way)Teach more awerness of bikes to car drivers thats half the battle

Just wondering if anybody knows actually how fast a Yamaha WR125x goes because some say 70mph some say 75mph? because i'm getting a 2010 model in a few days due to me selling the Yamaha Aerox which i've had for a year from new also and to be honest it is the worst scooter i've ever known. its been back to the shop more times than i can remember and glad i've had warranty, also 4 days before it runs out and the scooter is all ready to be part-ex'd (just waiting for my birthday so i can get the new bike) and it breaks won't start and this time it's the bottom end that's gone and only a few months ago it had a new cylinder head, also water pump, temp light, exhaust,…

someone trying to tell them something?

Went for a spin tonight on my fazer 600 (2002 model) - bit of a quick overtake then the speedo stopped working and remains that way. The digital display is lit up but not moving, can anyone give me a clue?

Can any body help, i have just noticed some oil which looks like it is coming from the speedo cable that is connected to the engine is there a seal or something as it is leaking not much but enough, i guess it needs a new one but is it anything more i have to worry about

Hi all, been riding round on my xv125 and a question is bugging me ( this is probably the start of a really dumb-ass question ). When I bought it the bike had a kph speedo with relevant stickers on at the kph equivalent of 30mph 50mph and 70.I bought a converter which works fine and is far easier to read but,does this alter the odometer , does it still measure kilometres - I know if I spent a bit of time I could probably work it out but if anyone knows the answer I'd be grateful. The reason I've taken to thinking about this is I've got my mod2 in two weeks and I cant afford to keep the xv and buy a bigger bike as well, so to save confusion when I put it up for sale I'd li…
