ok on my r6 my clocks said i was doing 175 . how accurate is that ?? ive seen one on utube doing 290khm that 180 mph

I wanna get an 03-04 plate r6 and i have absolutely no idea what their common faults are. what should i look for? im not a total noob in buying and selling, its just that i am pretty clueless about the r6. what should i ensure that the bike should have as part of its service? im looking at one currently and there is like 4 owners on less than 7k mileage. should i be put off this? is there any common gearing problems, bad idling, coughing etc problems i should be on the lookout for if and when i go for a viewing? cheers for your help!

Does any vstar 1300 owners know of an aftermarket backrest that is cheaper than what the geniune Yamaha kit cost? Thanks, Matt

Same yam don't do a 125cc MototGP??? Kep the good work up lads, and lets forget our 3rd brit sat in 7th! COME ON BOYS!!!! Lets show the spanish and the rest of europe how we wish we could do it like you!

Anyone have an opinion or experience on replacing the exhaust on the 2007 V Star 1300 Tourer? I am looking at VANCE & HINES 2 into 1 or COBRA EXTRA LONG SPEEDSTER 2 into 2 exhausts. I need a better sound from the bike - a little more rumble, easy installation, no backfire, or pop. Anyone try punching out 1 baffle? Any suggestions? Replys are appreciated.

Hello people, can any one tell me what year my XJ900S engine is as when i got the log book back after buying it the engine number was down as not known, the engine number is X4KM 089360X , i have now sent this to swansea but would like to find out if this is the original engine for the 1999 bike, its my first 900s and i have brought it for a trip to spain in june have just fitted new Avon storm tyres today given it a full service and a total one week clean it now looks mint its the blue one with a new Marvin 4 into 1 exhaust, the exhaust is only a mont old and one front pipe is showing the chrome has a few blisters all ready and thats a poor start for the system just cost…

Hello, new Club Official Yamaha RDSERIES is born in the Italy. Andress your visit is. http://www.rdseries.it Excuse and regards at all for Yamaha Club.

Milady Doom is having difficulty coming to terms with the rear seating position of the XJR. It seems the footrests are higher than the Divvy 900 we owned previously and this is causing her considerable discomfort in the knees. This is a cause of distress to both of us. I wonder if there exists an extender for the footrests to lower them and set them further forward. Or a replacement footrest hanger. Or anybody out there who would feel confident to fabricate such an item or knows somebody who would. Any suggestions eagerly received otherwise the whole new bike exercise has been a rather expensive waste of time. By the way, this was mine:- http://www.dkmotorc…

Hello to all in this forum. I have just got back in the saddle after a 4yr break whilst my wife had our children, yesterday I purchased a 2005 YZF R6 which I cannot wait to get on the road. Do you think I should have refresher lesson before I get back on the road? I live in the West Midlands and would like to attend local meets or ride outs, any ideas? I look forward to your advise... Anthony.

Leo vince sbk exhaust fitted to the R6 2 day....full carbon end can loss of converter of the catalytic type(sorry tree huggers) but i looks sweet.. sounds sweeter.. and a quite noticable gain in pull The bits are comin but real slow...anyone know if a 07 pair of arrow rearsets will fit on 08

.....I'm new, not only on here but to Yam's, 2 strokes and rebuilding/spannering, so go easy with me. Since buying a 1979 dt 175 mx as winter project last year things haven't moved on that well, down to the fact that just about every part on it was knackered, tonight I discovered the the loom and wiring is well past it's best and will probably need another, anyone know where I might get one? along with a bottom yoke, original exhaust and throttle cable/assembly - for starters. So far have had frame powder coated and new piston and rebore - that's it, well apart from picking up a few bits' to go on once it's ready to go back together. thanks and if virtual drinks are…

I have just about got R.S.I. of the finger trying to find Sliders or Crash (Fall) Protectors for an FZR 1000, they seem to exist for everything BUT !!.. Has anyone seen them ANYWHERE in the world, .. Its getting to the stage that I may pay some crafty guy person to actually make me up a set.. ANY help/Advice would be muchly 'preciated .. Ta. Kurnai..

Ladies and Gents firstly hello to everyone and thanks for having me!!!! Second hears by problem looking fro a first "proper bike" love the idea of a fazer... i was thinking of getting a fazer 600 but i've seen a nice 1000 offer.ed in better condition than the 600 i'd been looking at and ultimatly that what i'd like to own. Thinking save's loosing money to buying one to sell, to buy what i want insurance wise there is £12 in it so there is not much realavence in insurance costs. Do you guys think a fazer 1000 would be too much for a first ride??? alll input welcome even if its not what i want to hear!!! Thanks

Hi folks Not sure if anyone can help me , but i am purchasing an FZR thou Exup RU, 1991 on a J plate subject to her being HPI clear etc. I have the chassis number etc and just wanted to confirm that it's definitely a uk bike and not an import. Would anyone know what number and letters etc the uk bikes chassis numbers are so that i can confirm ? Had a gixxer 750Y that i sold last year due to personal reasons and now fancied something else, but not quite as dear. Will i notice much difference in power , handling etc. If anyone has an opinion of the RU i'd love to hear them, good or bad. Many thanks in advance. CD
