Hi all Im new to the forum and have just brought a R46 and was wondering if any one new the best place to insure it. Many thanks in advance

I have an old Royal Enfield and have found out that the Reg Number YAM 691 would be of interest to Yamaha owners, I need to get the Enfield moted and taxed before I can transfer it. I have had it valued for around £1500 + so if anyone is interested please contact me [email protected].

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.

Does anyone know if any of these engines will fit in my baby??? or has anyone converted there bike to a bigger engine and could give me some advice on who what and were, or if indeed it is a real pig of a job and if i'd be better to take this oppertunity to buy a new bike, i'd be grateful on some tips.

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!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! hope your all fixed after your off a while back Tom

Hi Everyone Went out on my new bike for the first time on Sunday morning, i went for a leisurely 1 hr ride down some nice wide country roads and through a few little villages. Brilliant start to the day. As for the bike it's amazing, i have to say though that i don't think i took it above 8000rpm, it's my first bike so i'm not going to go silly, i've got a hell of a lot of riding to do before i'm evening compatent but i'll just take it easy to start, anyway here's a few pictures.

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…

Hi All, I have a 1988 xv250. According to the manual the bike should be positioned "straight up" when checking the oil. Is this true or should it be on the sidestand? Thanks.

Hello can anyone help me identify a Yamaha 50cc I have recently purchased from a barn find. No sign of frame number VRN indicates 1987 however this does not match model as it has drum brakes to the front and the rear??? Anyone who can identify this by Engine number it is : SF6 105979. Many Thanks Caveman.

HI - new to the forum, but owned a Bulldog for some time now. I really like it, and its a bit different to most other bikes you see around. Was completely happy until ......... turned on the ignition, and no comforting warning lights, and no speedo test. On top, no clock, trip or odo. Mechanic thinks my speedo unit is dead - anyone had similar problems,before I fork out on a new one? Thanks, and looking forward to Donington!!!

GREETINGS to all of you. I've just registered and have a 2007 FZ1 in Black with a few mods.
