Hi people! On a whim I bought an FZ400RL from a friend a few(!) years back. At the time it was a bit silly coz I didn't even have my full bike licence. Anyhoo, got that in 2002, but due to life's unexpected twists and turns it never got on the road. Though out of boredom I did strip it down, spray and rebuild it, replacing a fork as necessary in the meantime. Now I've managed to dig it out of it's corner in the garage and spend some time on it. It's fully ready for it's MOT and looking less shabby than it did. But it keeps cutting out. Starts - no problem, sounds good. Ticks over quite happily. Goes out riding nicely. BUT after about ½-¾ mile, just when s…

Hi, I have DT125 (03) with a leaking rear shock. I have purchased a replacment part but was wondering easy it is to fit. It apprears to me that its just 2 bolts, one each end, Is it really that easy. Any advice would be much appreciated, even if its take it to a garage! Thanks, Andy

I am the proud O of a mint condition 1982 Yamaha Maxim 650! I am looking forward to meeting other Yamaha owners and learning all I can. Any tips right off the bat or comments on the maxim 650 would be welcome!

Please can anyone tell me witch is the best oil to put in my bike. its a 2007 FZ1 Its on its first 4000 miles

Hi there all, I"m New here, riding a 2007 FZ1 FAZER almost 3 month and love every km on it. Hope to learn more about this bike here.

I saw a picture of a guy who had the same bike as me. 08 XVS1100 Custom. He had this cool bronze or brass looking skull on the breather, kinda plaque looking thing. On the other side, there was another skull. I wrote and asked where he got them, no answer. I've been on-line, no luck. Anyone with an idea?? Where is a good site/company for yammer accessories. BTW. I put the Baron Oil filter relocator kit on and the bike runs sooooo much cooler now. I live in West Texas and head does make an impact. MM

I have 03-05 r6. I'm looking to get a 2nd hand carbon fibre akrapovic exhaust, as I've read in a few places theyre the best one to buy? Am I making the right choice? How do Scorpion and arrow compare in sound? Which would you recommend?

2 years ago, I hadnt passed my big test and I wanted to go on hols. I was on 125s...no bother...After a joke at a bike shop I use, I decided to go to John O`Groats. The day I was setting off, my bike got run over... Insurance man gave me a YBR125, lovely red thing, had less than a 1000 miles on the clock and obviosly been dropped a dozen times....I serviced it before I set off. Pic of us somewhere near Carlisle. Pic of some of the roads (Ahem....) we went on Beach at Durness JOG 10 days around Scotland, 2000 miles, best holiday Id ever had. Yam 125..never let me down, I even put a phone c…

Hello, I am having some bad luck at the moment! So far this year I have had two new rears tyres due to nails/screws going into them. My last one was 2 weeks ago. I have done bout 1000 miles on it and after a ride on saturday I got home and was cleaning my bike. And guess what I have a screw again in my tyre. Can anyone suggest is it worth getting a new tyre or getting it repaird? Fortunetly I have a company car as of last week so I do no need it for work anymore.

Anyhoo.. im 36, male and just got the bike bug back after 17 years plus, after touring in Laos on a H**da Baja 250.which was nice...

im thinkin of gettin a new exhaust for my yzf750r any suggestions?

Hi there, To my delight I found a Yamaha TZR 50, finally! To me, it looks clean and well looked after, no scratches on the fairing, 11,000 miles for an 04 plate. Basically, it's on eBay and my parents are worried because they don't know much about bikes and I haven't passed my CBT yet so I can't ride it (I would take it then buy it but it would be sold by then) and my 'rents say "we don't know what we're looking at." They are worried that I spend £1,000 on a bike then when they deliver it, it will be ok for a period of time then I'm stuck with £500 to get it road worthy. Typical parents, only really seeing it from their point of view, however I do understand what the…
