Got taken out in the fog at 20mph today (weds 13) by myopic pesioner waiting till the last minuite to pull out in front of me....nuff said. broken collar bone and damage all down LH side of 2006 R1.(didnt make its 1st bday on Mar 1) THIS IS THE CRUCIAL BIT..........WILL PROBABLY END IN A LAW SUIT. (HOPE NOT) A fellow 06 R1 owner had an almost identical spill on a roudabout last April. His bike went down on the RH side and cost thick end of £1000 to replace: clutch cover, side panel, air intake, seat unit, top faring, screen,brake lever, mirror, indicator etc...

I've recently bought an 02 R6 with only 3k on the clock, all original and no tell tale signs of excessive hard riding. I have put about 300 miles on it and twice now (only twice) at hard acceleration it has jumped out of gear, part of me feels if there was a problem it would happen far more often another part feels that there must be something wrong. Is it possible for the rider to not quite put it in gear solidly enough so it does jump out at high revs or is it a case of if it's in it's in and shouldn't come out? Any help would be good. Bazza

Hi folks: I'm hoping to dust down my old jacket etc and get back out on 2 wheels after a spell of 9 years of not biking. I've recently bought an old 1987 YX600 Radian as a project to work on, so that hopefully I will be able to get back out on the road by the summer. I need a few parts and am having difficulty in locating them - if anyone can help me, i'd be most grateful - the bits that I need are: - Front brake master cylinder - Front brake light switch - The Rubbers which sit between the carbs and the airbox - Fuel Tap Seal Kit Fingers crossed! Hope you can help. Many thanks, Steve.

Hey guys, so ive just brought my 1st bike, and will probably seem really funny to you gys witht the big bikes! Just brought a Yamaha XF50 Giggle Its a nice looking bike and im really happy with it! I dont know anyone else with a giggle (even typing it makes me smile!) and let alone a girl, as most the people with scooters/bikes in my area are kids. So just saying hi!

Im just about to buy one of these FZ6 S2 (Brand new one) Im wondering if anyone can give me any honest advice about the bike. 1, Build quality 2,where they are made 3, what to expect fuel wise (need it for work commutin summer months) 4,Best place to buy one in Yorkshire Area (or surrounding county)

where can i find new fairing for my 1988 fz600 found couple of sites but wanna try find cheaper set with all sticker and decals on

can anyone help me im trying to find the paint code for my 2000 5jj r1 ?

I just bought a 1999 WR 400 and it is a B#$%H to crank I have tried rolling the throttle a couple of times since the previous owner told me it had a carb pump then getting it just past top dead center using the compression release choking it, and kicking and kicking and kicking there has got to be something that will make this thing crank a little easier. What is the red choke button for? I have been using the black one? thanks for anyone willing to answer, anybody want buy an otherwise nice 400?

I'm new to biking and have just ordered a new FZ6 as my first real bike after passing my test. Would be grateful for any advice on running in the engine (rev limits etc) and scrubbing in new tyres. Also, as the bike will be mainly used as a get-to-work-weapon (about 50 miles a day) what is the feeling regarding scottoilers? Many thanks - glad to be here at last (nearly 40 and this is part of a well planned mid0life crisis!)
