News here!!!

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.

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 guys, I have recently purchased my first Yamaha and I love it. The problem I have is that when I got it I gave it a good service, changed the gearbox oil ect.. I also drained the existing 2 stroke oil and replaced it with good quality fully synsethic oil and since then its been running really badly. When it gets to about 7000 rpm it splutters and mutters and I have to ease off the throttle and gently try to accelerate again which helps a bit but its still not right. Is it the 2 stroke oil coz thats the only thing I have changed??? I am very confused with it. What 2 stroke oil would you recommend? Also I want to get a better performance exhaust on it, can any one rec…
