The Bar

hi every one, some advice please, im facying a wr400 super m but i do a LOT of miles and wonder if any one out there has done lots of miles on one of these without having major and expensive engine problems. i will be re gearing it so its not over revving but do these bikes need pistons every few thousand miles and do gearboxes go etc etc. my other option is a honda fmx 600 but they are a bit bland in all depatments. any thoughts of benifit of your experiances would be very helpful, cheers , neil.

Just caled in to say Hi to anyone who remembers Ogri from the Wirral back in the 70s/80s. After sporning a couple of sproggs I'm sort of back!? Suddenly realized I never passed my full ticket so I had to take a CBT on a 50cc step through of all things. Can you imagine me 19 stone of relaxed muscle on a bog seat in my old 70's cross over leather? Any way managed to get hold of a 125 drag star so that it didn't look too small under me, every thing else looked like I had a roller skate stuck to my arse. So If you see a red drag star with a big bloke in an old 70's leather buzzin' around the Wirral area, It's Ogri. Nod or even pull me over and say allo. Whilst I'm at i…

I just knew there had to be a site out there like this. Looking forward to meeting everyone and adding where I can. On my first bike - I have taken it pretty well apart and am putting it back together now so... basically I know a fraction of what I want to know, and am willing to help anyone who might not know one of the few things I do. Oh yes, and my name is Aaron.

good evening all bikernan here

Hi Thought I had better say hello. New to the forum and returning to biking after a bit of a break. This year will be the 30th anniversary of the year that I was first legally able to ride a bike on the queens highway, so to celebrate I thought it would be appropriate to return to the road on the same make of bike, from the same era, that got me on the road in the first place (what would we have done without Fizzy's?) The bike I have chosen to do a restoration on is a '79 XS 650 SE (really wanted a '78 but couldn't find a good complete one without paying daft money and the '79 one came along for the right money) Hopefully I will be able pick peoples brains on …
