Hey guys & gals!! Im really interested to know if anybody has seen a woven fibreglass race seat with brake lights, its for a 2005 R6. i dont know if they even exist, i want to get a more sportier back end for road use, im more than willing to sacrifice the origional seat pad and replace it with foam, like a race seat. if anybody has seen one and it would be amazing if u know where to get one, please, please let me know!

I was happily riding along yesterday not to fast not to slow down the A38 and pulled off at the junction, pulled the clutch in and whops, no clutch. after slow rolling i managed to get it in to 2nd gear then the fun part started. I had to ride 3 mile without stopping at junctions, traffic lights or for oncoming traffic to get to the local garage. had to leave the bike there as they had to order a cable which will be in thursday and it is now costing me £60 for cable and fitting. not bad for 10 mins work. well at least its taking space up in there garage for the next 2 day

Could anyone tell me why my 250 wont bloody start???? Theres clean fuel, a healthy spark and turns over with ease...... just wont start. It was left sitting for a while but before this started and drove well. Any help, little or small would be great. Regards DH Cheers lads, i'll give it a go and let you know the out come...

Hi!! I am currently buying a thundercat 600 (03 reg) and i will need it to be restricted down to a 33 BHP. Do you know where i can purchase a restriction kit from? and how much they usually are?

Hey guys, My R6 (03) went to the local stealership to have a new tps fitted, I'm now being told the onboard computer is not allowing any changes, apparantley it skips through the normal procedure without giving the option to change any settings! grrr! the really really annoying thing is that the bike was running perfectly until it went for a service and now I've had problem after problem!!!! Any clues? my stealership guy is kinda lost and he's having to contact Yamaha for assistance, hmmmm thing is I would really like to ride the thing this summer!!!!

Hi there. I wonder if anyone could help me. I have a 1998 R1 which had a strap mark on the frame on a smooth surface just below the petrol tank. I have had both sides of the top of the frame sprayed to match and he has done it in a brush finish which looks fine but the colour is totally wrong comparing to my other bikes. Does anyone know if it is just lacquered and brush finished or something else. Thanks Anthony

Hello there. My name is Ted and im a Nurse - 6 years ago I had to sell my bike and go back into a car, partly as a result of an injury and partly as I changed jobs and had to cart around equipment and on occasions patients! Anyway Im back - for the past 3 months i have been commuting daily and generally having a ball on a YBR125, OK not as fast as my old Kwaka but very very nimble, very able to filter through even small gaps and bloody frugal on the juice - my fuel bills just dropped from £40 / week to £10. I did have a go on a Bandit before I bought the YBR and found that my 6 years away had left my confidence and cornering ability somewhat lacking - the plan was b…

Hello, Can anyone please help? I've piled my FZ6 Fazer'06 and at present am trying to rebuild it. I'm nearing completion but I've not managed to get any UK clocks. Before I go out and spend £380 plus vat at the dealers I was wondering if anyone knew if I could get a set of european KPH clocks and get them converted and who would do it? Or would a set of R6 clocks work as I have noticed on the newer models they have a set like the R6. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply.

no,not a former member of the appalling 80's boy band,new member looking forward to taking delivery of a FZ1 Fazer shortly. Does anyone have any hard luggage suggestions as the yamaha catalogues £700+ for panniers is quite simply a joke,also whats the easiest carbon exhaust to fit-cant wait cant wait!!!

I have not posted before and its all new to me. I have a YZF 750 sp which is still very fast how fast I do not know as the clocks don't seeem to work properly. (anyone with some clocks lying around the garage??!!) How do I upload pictures here I am proud of my bike and have just finished cleaning it.

Hey guys and gals I am thinking about purchasing a "1980 Yamaha 650 Maxma" it has 3000 orig. miles and runs great i was wondering if anybody could tell me what kinda fuel milage these things get?? I appreciate any input... thanx

Hi All, Any of you out there near Halesowen in the West Midlands for rideouts?. Regards Dave.

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?

Do people usually pull full throttle to get max acceleration or is it done gradually and smoothly?

Hi me again taking my CBT the weekend any tips and what can I expect All help gratefully received Alan
