The Bar

Hello! New guy here, Ive been told to join by my Yamaha dealer......he said you all may be able to help. This is the first port of call other than usual Google trawling to no avail. I have a indulged myself with a new project (supposed to be over the winter but now for the summer). I've had a few bikes in the past but this is by far my favourite! It is a qt50. Tiny little moped, 50cc 2 stroke, single sided shaft drive. Bulletproof reliability and slow as fuck. I love it to bits. The problem Is, its been bought on a whim and the v5 vin lined up with the sticker on the painted over frame. Engine number was different (swapped engine at some point, no…

Hi, I've not been a member of the biking world that often so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have been riding a Yamaha R-125 for around six months and passed my full direct access test Friday just gone. Having riden a 125 at 16 and a half stone i don't really get very far very quickly. In a spur of the moment i've put my bike up for sale and have had an offer from a dealer to part ex for a 2003 R6. It comes next Wednesday and was wondering if there are some tips you guys could give me as it is going to be an extreme jump from a 125 to an R6. I did my test on a 500cc but i know that will be nothing compaired to the power i will have at my discposal and a…

on’t throw away those large plastic beer and cider bottles. Drink the contents first. Collect plastic packaging and empty plastic food containers, and store them until you have enough for one large bonfire. Having several small bonfires is inefficient. Pick a day for your bonfire when there is a stiff breeze. This way, all the little burning smuts of plastic and the choking fumes will be carried away from your garden. Think about cycling instead of driving for a second. A second is plenty long enough. Vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, so eating them is recommended. Eating vegetables needn’t be expensive. Steal next-door’s potato peelin…

I got this from someone at work and thought I pass it on. Tips on Filling your Vehicles...This is a Message received from an oil consultant I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban , we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre. Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban , we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,0…

I'm just starting to race hare scrambles do you have any tips for me thank you

Since fuel prices are rising like crazy, just wanted to see if everyone could give their little tips or tricks on how to get better MPGs. I know different bikes are different with fuel consuption and tanks are different sizes, but just whatever anyone wants to write could help all of us. Thanks!

I had no problem with those dunlop but.. maybe is something better?

Hey All, New member. I'm trying to get tyres shipped down here. Anyone know any dealers sellers that ship here? I'm originally from US but here for a year. I couldn't find any sellers in US that carry them to have it shipped from there locally? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I heard the Sporty's are the best bet? Again pretty much need to know how to get tyres shipped down here LOL.

I have been searching endlessly for some alternative brand, style and tread patterns that will fit the Yamaha V-Star 1300, 2007. I am frustrated and irritated that the only ones I can find are the same ones that came on it. It seems the 16" rims are the rub here, but I do not want to have to buy new rims! It has to be some collusion between Bridgestone and Yamaha. It is starting to really anger me.

Tit Monday; soon to be this time of the year and in the name of science and pervertary voyerism there is now a web site dedicated to this arcane art!

I am currently experiencing problems with a tight rear wheel. Brakes, bearings and drive chain all have no problem. Drives under load for first 500-1000 yards then goes free. I've recently had an oil change...could the oil viscosity be causing the problem? I used the manufacturers recommended oil. Has anybody ever experienced such a problem? If so, please let me know what I can do to solve the problem. Cheers Big Ears.

Hi all I work for Scorpion Exhausts, we are trying to track down a 500cc Tmax owner that would be willing to lend us his/her bike so we can redevelop the exhaust for it. If you fit this bill please let me know on:- [email protected] or 01773 744123 Your bike will be well looked after!!

well people ive been looking around for something with a little more hp and ive been looking some more, now i stumbled across a thread about the athena 170cc a few people gave some reviews of this kit and they seem to sound positive. (i also know a company on westgate road newcastle who said they would dial my carb in for £15) most said you dont gain much in the way of topend but its more low down and mid, so in essence you can use 6th gear and it actually pulls... im guessing that if the bottome end can handle it this would be a decent little upgrade - the price of £400 is a little steep but im getting sick of my little bike slowing down going uphill i would jus…

thought you miserable lot should at least recognise its crimbo what with the snow and all.. if you find any more post it up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ03tgxqNDc&NR=1

To my darling husband, Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage b door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car. I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my…

Good afternoon all, i hope your all getting your fair share of this sun at the moment. I have noticed recently that there seems to be a lack of "The Nod" greetings between bikers. Has anyone else noticed this or is it that peeps just dont like us cruiser types i definetly had more on my El Bandito. I have had a Leg wiggle in the past week but he might have just followed through :{ Just a thought......
