Hello Everyone I bought my first Bike yesterday, it's a 52 plate Fazer 600 with 23k miles on the clock. I plan to use it for a bit of fun in the summer, and commuting to work occasionally, also I'd like to get my hands dirty with servicing / modification myself. The bike it stock as far as I know but with an aftermarket immobilizer and a squirty oil thing for the chain, but I'm not sure how that works! I am 29 years old and don't have a bike license yet, but it's on the way. My last experience on 2 wheels was a 49cc moped 10 years ago, so I remember my CBT but will have to do it again soon Looking forward to reading lots about this bike! Oh here'…

Hi, New to the forum here. I just bought a 2001 Yamaha YZF 600R. I noticed when I am on the freeway or hitting about 50-60, the temp stays cool below 70. (I would assume this is because the high speeds cool the engine additionally.) However after running it for a bit, if I am cruising through city traffic, the temp gauge hits 100. There is an extra space between that and the red-line - but how hot is hot? Is this normal? My last bike didn't have the same temp gauge - it was a Honda. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Adam

Hi all New to the forum, but an old biker !! If there are any other super tenere riders out there with a solution to the cr*p head lamps please, please, please tell me. I have a 1991 super tenere with the old 35w twin lamps, I can't seem to get a upgrade on the lamps, i.e halogen. Is there a solution for this, can you mod any other head lamps to fit ? Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has achieved a decent light sorce rather than relying on the candle power !! Many thanks Tony

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India . The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it , you cannot qualify for this job.' Mujibar said, 'I am ready.' The manager said, 'Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.' Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, 'Mister manager, I am ready' The manager said, 'Go ahead.' Mujibar said, 'The telephone goes green, green,..........green,green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow', this is Mujibar.' Mujibar now works at a call center. No doubt you have spoken to him. I know I have.

I have a 2002 xvs 125 dragstar which i am having trouble 'finding' neutral. I can select every other gear easily, but when i come to a standstill i cannot find neutral easily. Also even when the clutch lever is pulled right in the bike tends to 'jump' forward when putting it into gear. I have checked all the adjustments on the clutch but everything seem ok. any ideas as the toe of my boot is wearing out due to the constant gear lever movement up and down trying to get it out of gear

Just saying hey. New to the forum and biking. Me and my buddy ( he's around on here somewhere) just got ourselves XVS 125 DragStars. Planning on doing the Full test later in the year and moving up to bigger bikes, but for now we're happy with what we've got and having some fun.
