Help needed..... iv been working on a cheap fighter project on my divvie whilst i take part in the current downturn on the jobs front (it hadn't turned over in 5yrs until a week and a half ago) and the current snag seems to be my new tail light i bought, well.... the light works fine but when i press the rear brake lever it cuts out and pressing the front lever results in no change i.e. it doesnt brighten, iv got a manual which iv stared at an awful lot and i can only see three wires that lead to the light, a yellow, blue and an earth so its not exactly complicated but its simplicity doesnt help as it keeps shorting when i wire it up as per the diagram and im starting t…

Hi. Does anyone have any idea where I could buy a secondhand starter clutch for my Bt1100 Bulldog? The cost of the new part and other bits I will need plus fitting is not too shy of £700! I think this has the same engine as the XV 1100 so I'd imagine that would fit too? If anyone can help me with any information I'd greatly appreciate it. Regards, Dougie.

My 73 CT1 kick start gear will not engage it's mating gear located behind the clutch pack. The mating gear wobbles all over the place and I have not removed the clutch to see how this gear is supposed to be fastened to it's shaft. Does anyone know what the problem is ? Easy fix ? What in the way of parts are needed ? Can you recommend where to buy the needed parts ? Thanks

Hey there everyone. I'm stuck. I have just finished re-building my 1985 FZ400. Got it all back together and looking great. The problem is I took it out for the first time yesterday down some back roads to make sure everything was ok for the MOT. But..... After no more than 5mins of riding the battery went flat. It was fully charged before i went out. It started fine and idled well. but when it came to accelerating the power was allover the place. Major back fires. Like a firework display. Also it got really hot and the engine was smoking bad. I don't know whether the water pump and radiator is plumbed in correctly. I can't find any info on it anywhere. Any advice or feedb…
