The Bar

I just want to introduce myself. I Live in Montana, and I am once again getting back on a bike. It's been years, and this is the first time with a two stroke. I have ordered the Clymer service manual so I am looking forward to getting that. I do however have a question, if anyone may have the info for me. What weight of oil do I put in the transmission? I don't know how much is in there and obviously I don't fry it, also, I have no idea how old the oil is . Thanks!

Just brought a 2007 Dragstar 1100 classic, does anyone know if parts from a VStar will fit the Dragstar?

As you may or may not have heard, road racing legend Robert Dunlop lost his life in a terrible accident at lastnights North West 200 practice. He was on his 250 with Darren burns following closely behind when his bike seized up entering the notorious Mathers Cross bend, Darren Durns could not avoid a collision and he hit Robert. He died later from chest injuries! Darren suffered a broken leg and concussion. This kind of tradgedy comes up every now and again in road racing and we all are aware of the risks, but when a rider is lost, itis felt all over the racing community! we offer our deepest sympathy for Roberts family and close friends. We may never see the lik…

Hi. My name is Simon. I'm 32 and live in Norfolk with my fiancee Marcia and 19 month old daughter Maisie. I have been riding for 3 years. I have just sold my GPZ500S and I am going to be looking for an SR125 at the end of the month as it's cheaper to run, tax, insure etc and we have another child on the way. Basically I just need to do 16 miles per day as cheaply as possible. The SR was the bike I did my cbt on and I really enjoyed riding it so I figure why not buy one. IF anyone has one coming up for sale, or knows of one that will be, from the first week of June onwards, then let me know. I should have roughly £6-700 to spend but as time goes on I'll have more cash...no…

Hey guys Id just like to say hi to everyone and share my dilemma with you guys, perhaps some of you could guide me in the right direction. Im 20 and have owned my xvs125 for a good year and a half. I hardly ride it but pamper it away in the garage and those spring and summer months its out the garage definetly are some of my best days Time has come though where Im considering to sell it, if I could get more power out of it, I would keep it, however if I cant I would rather just sell it. Selling it and buying a larger engined bike isnt an option because I dont have my full licence and being a student dont want to fork out the money for the theory, les…
