Hi guys, just found you after searching for answer to a problem i have. nice looking site you got here, will take a look around it when i have more time problem is this, i had meta alarm that packed in, took it off the bike, XJR1300, then had various wires all same colour left, couldn'e get bike to fire up at all no matter what the combination of wires were connected. decided to change the loom and now i still don't have a spark....would the coils be causing this? if so, what would have caused them to go? would it be coincidence to go same time as alarm?

Just got back from Matlock. Had an adrenaline fueled ride there and back. It was an awesome ride in both directions, and Matlock itself was extra busy (spolied a bit by LOADS of Harleys), but the trip up there was marred. As I got on to the A610, at about (the speed I was going) I felt something hit my back, then I caught a glimpse of something flying through the air. I pulled over, and found that my single seat unit had blown off! I couldnt see it anywhere. So, after a 1/4 mile walk down the bypass, I walked back up the central reservation, and I found it lying at the edge of the outer lane on the opposite carriageway! Its not looking very healthy anymore, but not as ba…

Hi, my name is Ben and I just picked up a 1987 Yamaha Radian last week. It has 25k miles on it. This is my first bike and pretty new into the whole world of two wheels. It seems to run pretty well, but the owner told me that she was getting about 30mpg. That seems pretty low to me. i thought these should get mid 40's easy. am i wrong? I take it changing the plugs and wires, along with a new air filter would help a lot, but would it make that much of a difference? while poking around i found the air filter and looked oily & pretty dirty. these aren't oiled filters are they? i would guess the filter is a big part of it. and another thing i noticed was that the little ru…

Thunderace's? I have just joined your forum and not sure if this is the right place to post this question... But it has been too long just over three years since i owner a motorbike, and I am itching to have another. I have always liked the Thunderace and wondered what you guys actually thought of them. Cheers Daz

And this time it's Peabody! After persistently hurling Pro Yank anti Brit racist slurs all around the board.....he then did the same to one of the moderators via PM. Consequently he has now left the building for good! As an aside, I've been very busy with work commitments lately and haven't had the time to watch developments on here as closely as is necessary. From now on things will change......and the trash will be thrown out on a much more regular basis! If any more dickheads appear just PM a Mod!

Hi i have a 1982 dt125 lc. Its all in reasonibly good nic apart from a couple of things. The indicators and rev counter are not working at all but im putting that down to some faulty wiring behind the dash because all of the lights flicker with bumps. What i am really in need of is the left hand switch gear. The horn button in not there at all and the indicator button is broken inside. Ive looked for this switch on the net but i dont seem to be able to find anything at all. Does anyone know of anywhere i can purchase one of these?? I see these older bikes everywhere for sale so there must be some companys out there who has some electrical parts for them, surley? …

Does anyone know how much engine a 2 stroke DT125 should use - how many miles should a tank full of oil last or how many tanks of petrol should it last?

I have a 92 XJ600 Seca II and Was wondering what parts off of the FZR 400 600 and any other bikes will fit onto my bike? Im looking for front forks/Shocks and some other small peaces.

Hi everyone, Just perusing a few posts here and there and couldnt help noticing that people posting from places in England are all flying the Union flag, and people from Wales or Scotland are patriotically flying their national flags. Had a look at changing mine to England only to find we dont exist but Wales and Scotland do! Any Ideas?
