When i turn off my 2002 r6 sometimes the side lights stay on! Why is this!?!?

Does anyone know where i can get a pair of exhaust sheilds for my TDM 900 04, had a bit of a spill on brand new tyres , and screwed mine up, dont mind buying new if anyone knows what theyre really called! Please help me out on this as my bike dont look happy at the moment.

im about 2 weeks away from needing a pair of new tires have seen a pair of bridgestone bt021 at the price of £158.00 incl delivery then obviously fitting on top of this. they are to be fitted to a yamaha thundercat 600cc. i currently run the bridgestone bt020 but the rear has flat spotted in the centre and the front doesnt give me much confidence when pushing hard in the twisties. has anyone got any reviews on the bt021 good or bad i want to hear all comments. also for another 20 pound i can get the michelin 2ct. are these worth the extra 20 pound or is it just another marketing gimmick to get more pound notes out of our pockets trying to convince us that the edg…

Hi, I am about to buy my first bike and haven't got much experience with bikes - so far have used scooters on an odd occassion. I guess when one turnes 40 some marbles get lost - or found :-) All my mates say I should buy something up to 250 ccm, and hope not to end up under some truck. Also, they say if I buy small bike with something like 150 ccm I'll get bored in a space of a week and long for something bigger. Since I prefere custom and choppers I thought about Virago 250 and managed to find one locally ( Croatia ) for some 2000 euros. It's a bit old - '93., and it's got 40000 km on the clock ( some 25000 miles ). It's not too heavy and it's easy to handle - …

Its been running sloppy for awhile under 4k. Had trouble starting her this morning, but it went after a few tries. This evening, no go. No matter what. Even a push start did nothing. I reckon its the plugs. Got new ones arriving (CR10EK) tomorrow hopfully. My fingers are crossed.

Hi, I live in Spain and have been offered a UK registered Yamaha TDM 850. Before I go ahead and bring it over..does anyone know if they were ever sold (homolgated) in Spain or were I might find out if they were.. Cos its a lot of hassle importing a bike into Spain..and if they were never sold here officially..then its virtually impossible to register it legally. Cheers, Harald.

Hi all, Guess this is were I come to introduce myself and get the next round in. Anyway I'm from Ireland and at the moment have a full Yamaha garage. I'm currently running an 89 1000 Exup, a 92 Vmax and a 99 WR400 converted to supermoto. Its a big change to jump from one to the other. Must try and post a few pics when i get a chance but having lots of internet problems a t the moment. tim

My Chain was FUBAR, and following a suggestion from here, I bought a Tsubaki XRing Sigma chain. Having done s ome research, its, its meant to be the one to beat. I have no experience with XRing chains at all. I fitted it yesterday, and the difference was immediatley apparant as the wheel rotated smotthly and for much longer then the old chain allowed. Riding it however, I had an "Oh Shit" moment. The nosie it makes is unnerving. Its sounds like a knackered old grea box. It whines under any load at all. Is that normal for XRing chains or is there a problem? I replaced both sprockets too by the way. Thank you in advance for you help. Neil

Hi Guys. Been away a while. Been riding this: and this: but just bought this: Gee life is dull!

Good afternoon to you all, Please some advice from experienced boarders would be great! I just got myself a lovely little yam RSX100, £260 for a 1990 in good nick. I do need to replace the tires, and was wondering where is the best place to get them. Im not necessarilary looking for the cheapest option, however other then ebay (and i have looked), i got no idea where to look! With cars, you can just take them down to the local garage and hey presto - new tires! How about with old bikes? Could i just call a yamaha dealer, do thety still make this type of tire? Any assistance you could give would be great, please excuse my ignorance on this matter but as i sa…
