The Bar

Where can I find a replacement kick stand that has the locking cam mechanism (or another locking device) that engages when the weight of the bike is leaned on it. It prevents the bikes kick stand from rolling up, if the bike is shifted forward, when weight is on it. I've seen other bikes with this feature and think its pretty cool.

has anyone else put this motor on a quad frame? You cant belive the power of this engine and it still flies in more ways than one

I've been looking online at the much needed oil filter relocation kits. There are several brands and types. Question is which one does the best, looks the best and the better at working on. Anyone have any comments on the one they got. I'd appreciate any and all comments. Thanks

Hi all - just put deposit down on new FZ1-S Fazer in red, picking it up next week. Should maybe have asked before putting my money down, any advice for a new FZ1-S owner? Many of you in East Sussex - I'm interested in meeting up with folk for rides. Back to bikes after a long break so not looking for anything too ambitious. Look forward to hooking up with some of you soon.

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!!!

hello, I am trying to help out a friend who isnt the best on computers. Does anybody know the fork lengths of both the FZ 750, C Plate and a FZ750 H Plate Genisis If any body could post those details i would be eternally grateful

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 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.

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].

Hey guys.... maybe someone can help me here... This is going to sound really dumb but I just got my Road Star and I can't figure out how to lift the seat. I know you turn the key to lift, but then what? Like i said, may sound dumb but I can't figure it out! Thanks

Just got a Vino! Can't believe how fun it is in city traffic. No shifting out of a stop sign on a hill, etc. Thought maybe I was too heavy (over 250 lb) but the thing scoots and handles like a dream. So much better than trying to use my Harley Heritage Softail in town or even the VStar 650. I originally got the 650 for city driving, but the Vino is much more fun. Also, talk about being visible; I get more looks on the Vino than I ever got on the 650. Everyone's trying to figure out what it is. Have to admit, it isn't for everyone. It's kind of like wearing a pink dress shirt; you have to be man enough to get away with it. Remember: the bigger the bike thi…
