The Bar

Hi just joined the club, so bear with me. How do I change front brake pads on my 2007 Jog R I have a grinding noise from front and feels like the brakes are dragging, so Im assuming its pads

I've seen this thread a few times around the internet, but here's a question for you, is it possible to fit the front footpeg bar (with the side stand) on a 2006 model? I know the bar on the 2006 doesn't have the fitting for a side stand and the only clamp on ones I can find are for dirt bikes with square swing arms, here is the bar from a 2007> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-YBR-125-SIDE-STAND-FOOT-RESTS-FRONT-/281175753213?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item41776181fd Thank you in advance for any replies

The bulb in my XVS1100 blew the other week. I picked up a cheapy replacement and it blew almost straight away. It was only £1.99 from The Range, so I put it down to being a cheap and nasty bulb, and the bike being a thumper, the vibrations. Bought a decent one (OSRAM Night Racer Plus H4). This lasted a day before breaking (both main and dipped). I have of course been ultra careful when fitting them to not touch the glass etc. Fitted a 3rd bulb and will see what happens, Is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks.

anyone interesed?

just purchased my first bike(well for over 20 years anyway)..an 2012 xj6 n in white. problem is it came with hand protectors on and I had to remove one to get the bike in my shed(ended up dismantling the shed and purchasing a bigger one) any way ive tried re fitting the hand guard back on and the long threaded bar that secures it is just turning in the handle bar im assuming theres a back nut of sorts that is now in my handle bar somewhere that needs to be retrieved?? there is a part that is wedged in the end of the handle bar though, ive give it a light pull but is not moving,i didn't want to force it too much incase its not supposed to come out... a…

Hi everyone can you please help I am in danger of stripping my x-max down to parts. I am trying to do the simple task of replacing the headlights on my 2006 x-max yp250r. I have removed the Cowling from the front of the scooter as directed in the service manual (2 scews at the top and one at the bottom)this does allow me to get my hand in to touch the wire connecting to the bulb but this does not seem to provide enough access to change the bulb, I am therefore assuming I have not removed all of it. Has anyone out there done this and can they confirm that you need hands like a 5 year old to access and change the bulbs or have I just not removed what I should have. Pl…

So winters starting to truly set in now. Weathers getting wetter and ice in the mornings. I ride every day without fail. Always try and keep the bike clean. Noticed my front forks and disk brakes are starting to show slight bits of rust. The bikes brand new. Got it from local dealer in Sept/Oct. Is there anything I should be applying/spraying on? Something to prevent this or clean it? She's kept in the garage overnight and at work I always throw over a rain cover. Anyone able to help? Hope everyone has a good new years!

Hello guys, recently I have purchased a 1980 Yamaha DT175. So I wanted everything to be legit interms of maintaince and ownership so I downloaded the owners manual. As I was reading through I reached the page that mentioned the 'Machine Identification'. So since I'm pretty sure my bike is a DT175, the manual says to check the serial which is stamped on the right hand side of the headstock assembly which is also the same number on the engine. So if its a DT175 it should start with 2A7-XXXXXX and if its a DT125 it starts with 2A6-XXXXXX. So I went and checked my bike for the codes. Neither the frame nor the engine showed a code close to what is listed in the manual. …

Not sure if you guys have seen this. I warn you in advance - they aren't on a Yammy, and it's a long read - but this is truly a story! http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=877576&highlight=Walkabout+Russia To hopefully tantalise you further, page 9 details where their bike falls over a cliff, but amazingly this doesn't end their trip.

Hi, I hope someone would be able to help me. I have an 06 DTR 125 and the Oil light comes on constantly when the engine is hot, the oil tank is full. I have noticed it seems not to use a lot of oil. could it be a blocked oil pipe? if so what sort of job is it to take apart and clean. Thanks
