Hi everyone! I am new on this forum, so will introduce myself: My name is Ventzi. Last year I bought 2 R6's (from a mate that did some racing) - A road bike, and a complete bike that needed alot of putting together (He had been taking bits from it as spares for his track bike) Anyway - Both are the early carb models - the road bike being the updated model with twin rear lights, and project bike being a 1999 early model. I loved the bike, and did alot of miles in a few miles - and quite comfortably did a bit of touring here and there - once even with the girlfriend and a set of soft panniers on the back! Anyway - I sold that bike, and now need another one to do…

I have a 1998 YZ400f i just recently got a few months ago. It runs awsome and is an all around great bike! but... about ever couple of rides (a hour or two each) i foul a plug! (iv'e gone through 3 now) the plugs are all carbon fouled. when it runs it runs awsome, but you'l go to start it up the next day, and it wont even fire. i have already leaned up the neetle jet a notch and the pilot jet a bit too, and i'm waiting to see what happens. is this all i need to do, or do i need to make furthur adjustments? Thanks, Michael

I have just bought a 1996 honda cr125 motocross bike and was wondering what fuel mix ratio i should use. One person said to use 100ml to 5litres and another said to use 125ml to 5 litres. Which is correct and which oils is best to use? Many thanks in advance.

Hi all Got a problem with my spyball alarm, need help Spyball Alarm 6527, with 2 key fob Went to my bike the other and the alarm/immobiliser wouldn't switch off with the key fob i was using, so i grabbed the other key fob and it worked first time. So when i was out i got new batteries for the other fob, installed the battery in the remote, ran through the key re-align info (hold big button down for 1sec then release then big button down again for a further 15secs and it should re-align), but guess what..... It never. So my Question is has anybody came accross this fault before? and/or does anybody have a fix for the problem? thanx.

Hey Guys this is my 1st post. I'm restoring a XS850 Midnight Special. I was reading through some posts and see that people seem to think that the XS models can be problematic, can anyone tell me what goes wrong? I got my bike last week after it had be dry stored for 12months without being run, started on 1st kick!!! Was well chuffed! I've given it a clean and shes runs nice and smooth and am now looking for bits to restore her to her former glory. I'm on the look for a new fuel tank if you know of any going? Any hints/tips would be appriciated. Is this model at all rare? Cheers Mike

hi all, im a newbie, just bought an 02 plate fazer 600, the bike is restricted to 33 bhp at the moment, im wondering if there is a way to remove this without costly garage bills? i picked a bad day to buy a bike lol i rode from monmoth to runcorn cheshire, in masses of rain, but to say the bike was restricted she still performed well, maybe i should have switched to yamaha sooner!
