    Does anyone know if there's an easy way to replace the bulbs behind the speedo on a thundercat without having to remove the whole bloody fairing?? - according to haynes the fairing has to come off, seems a long old job just for a bulb!!

I would like to now if the lefthand light when you're on the bike is wired to the dip or main beam. If anyone can let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Hi everybody, I'm a newby to the forum having just upgraded from my NC35 to a 2003 R6, which I'm absolutely loving, as the following story will prove.... So I've had the R6 for a grand total of 9 days now, and coming home from work last night I was getting bored of dumb ass drivers sitting in the outside lane of the 3 lane section of the A40 and leaving the two other lanes completely free, so I took the decision to undertake the lot of them in the inside lane at a speed approaching 3 figures in a 50mph area. Unfortunately one of these cars turned out to be an unmarked pig in a BMW 5 series. He eventually caught up with me in traffic and pulled me over for what I was t…

    I have an '85 yfm 80. somethings wrong with the steering somewhere and it wont turn sharp at all. i mean, i have a bayou that turns sharper than this thing. i know that it should make tighter turns than it does because ive ridden one very similar to it (same make and model) and it was the tightest turning quad iv ever ridden. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

  13. Started by 94SecaII,

    I bought my 94 SecaII last October from a motorcycle enthusiast. This guy had bought it from a husband and wife and the wife rode the SecaII and her husband had another bike so I'm pretty sure that my bike was not abused (as it was ridden by an older woman). The guy I bought it from did some work to it such as: jet kit and carb rebuild (dunno what stage jet kit), K&N Velocity Stack intakes for each carb, he replaced the vacuum fuel pump with an electronic one that would normally go on an ultra-light aircraft - he said he matched the PSI of the electronic pump exactly (somewhere around 4 PSI) and also installed a Vance&Heines 4into1 exhaust. He only put about 500 m…

  14. i bought an xj600 diversion and after reading the reviews i found it to be a fairly fast comfortable user friendly bike so why do people slag them off so much i know it doesnt perform like an r1 type of bike but its good for someone on a budget like me and apart from slightly lacking the gut wrenching accelaration like some others i find it hard to pick any faults with it so whats the beef why do people seem to hate them ?? do you!!

    Stall problem, can anybody tell me how to fix this. I have a 2-year old Fazer 600. Daily commute takes me five miles on local roads, then fifteen miles on motorway, then, after five or ten miles in London traffic it starts miss-firing, stalls and/or needs loads of revs to get away from lights. Have found that if i stop, turn off and restart, then the problem goes away, and the engine runs normally. But this doesn't happen every time.

    Hi guys, Got a 1996 YZF750R, FSH, and mint condition. The other day it started making a very slight knocking noise at certain revs. I have had the bike 2 months and it has never done it before. I had done a lot of riding that day and it was warm, and had been topped up with oil as well, as it drinks oil like a 2 stroke. It's not a loud knocking and I am not too worried, but would like to know if anybody has any ideas about what it could be. It was not doing it before I added the oil, and I am inclined to think it has something to do with the amount of riding done and the oil. As a precaution I have changed the oil completely since. Does anybody know wh…
