Hi All, I have an issue with emergency lights on my MT-07. Few weeks ago I replaced rear indicators with LED versions and did the same with front ones over the weekend. They work fine when indicating left or right, all blink once or twice when I arm or disarm the alarm, but when I try emergency lights they only blink once and stop. Any ideas? Thanks, Jacob

After securing a third place at the Mugello circuit, being serenaded by the Italian crowds, and simultaneously taking over second place in the championship rankings, Valentino Rossi is ready to commence the championship battle in Barcelona. The Doctor has a 23-point margin to the leader in the standings and hopes to strengthen his position as a title contender this weekend at a circuit that he knows like the back of his hand.

Hey everyone I have a question for the people in the know. I'm confused with the tail light arrangement on the early r6, some have a big ugly single tail light and some have the twin round rear lights that look alot better. It seems to me like it's a mixture of years because I've noticed some bikes have the twin rear light and then newer ones have the big ugly thing and visa versa. My question is, is the twin rear an upgrade or is it of a certain year bike and fits on the earlier bike? My budget is a little tight and I'm only finding bikes in my price range with the ugly rear light but I want the twin lights, so can I source the rear fairing and lights…

Is it common for one of the coil packs to give up ? Is it best to replace the A’s a pair ?? Jeff

Hey, the ypvs is not working properly on my dtr.. When i start the ignition the pulley moves the valve as normal. Then i start the bike and the ypvs seems fine. The pulley is moving but suddenly it just stops?? It can stop at any time, after the first rev or after a short trip. I have tried to look after people having the same problem but it seems like people ypvs do not move at all or it works. I have removed the power valve, cleaned it so tjat it moves freely, i have adjusted the pulley cables (many times!) and i have opened the servo too see if everything is good. I have hear it can be the pv controller or the cdi, but these are expensive parts so is …

Long story short, for some unknown reason the throttle cable was stolen from my Yamaha Mt-03. I'm having trouble installing the new one as I have no idea where the cable was routed. Is it common for them to go under the fuel tank? Thanks, Raj

Hi can anyone help with where the Igniter is situated on my 1992 FJ1200 ABS, as British manual says inside the right hand cover. Not. Have part removed right side upper fairing but no sign.

Hello legends, I picked up an old AG175 in 3 boxes :) and over the last year I’ve been working towards getting it back on the road, however I’m stumped on where these 3 bits go. Below is a link to my iCloud thing where I’ve shared the image. can you let me know if any look familiar:) Link to image Thanks! Rich

Spoke with Andy (elvis fan) yesterday. As of 3pm yesterday his green SR, yes the 80mph plus SR was nicked and left burned out. Wished him well but still sucks. He had just given it the works too. Chain, fork seals, oil and filters. Even had a full tank of gas. I hope the scum die of something painful.

Hi I'm in the process of rebuilding a Yam XT 250 1981. The bike was dressed up to used in a war film by a company (Classic Cars 99) who supplied vehicles to the film industry. This bike was modified to have a camera set up on it and beefed up for jumps. It seem that the steering yoke has been changed possibly 500. I've bought a replacement bottom yoke but not a top one. The problem I have is that the clock ( two circle ones) fit into a base which bolts to the top yoke but the centres don't match up. So it either the a different top yoke or I got the wrong clocks? I think the centres on the yoke is 100mm and the clock base is 120mm. Any thoughts

Hello people what oiL Do you guys use on your mt10/r1 semi or full

I have a 1983 DT125 with 1100 miles on it. I notice from the Haynes manual it needs 10 40 oil in the engine/gearbox. I have synthetic 10/40, will that be ok or does an old bike like this need mineral oil ? Be great if anyone can help with this.-Thanks, Nick

Well my cb750 k8 has been purchased and is going to Reading. Can anybody recommend a transporter please? Regards Simon

Hi there, long time no see, I finally upgraded my trusty steed, and then my course of electronics curse jumped bikes. So I have a '99 Thundercat about 60k miles on the clock, she was running okay and I added a LED strip, after a few more months the battery started dying on the regular. so I disconnected the strip but the problem persists, Bought a new battery, same problem, I have tested voltage when running at 3000 rpm and higher and there is an increase to the battery, so it doesn't seem to be the regulator or stator. There is no draw when the ignition is off. The only problem I can seem to find is when I have my headlight on, the voltages stead…

Question - I'm looking at an mt03, stolen/recovered. Keys are present but steering lock is broken and ignition barrel is not with the bike. Would I need new keys, lock, barrel AND ecu or would a replacement ignition barrel and keys work with the current ecu? A new set of everything is over £900 which I want to avoid.
