The Bar

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!!

Does anybody have a wiring diagram for an old pw 50 or know how to hotwire one? I've been trying to get this thing running forever but dont have time or money to go out and buy a manual. if anyone has any special tricks for wiring one of these things up please let me know!!

Hi all, Back to 2 wheels after a 9 year break, I just picked up my new bike today ('01 R1 [blue]) and what a good ride home Has anyone any advice for riding/maintaining an R1? Also, is there a power restriction applied to a stock machine? Thanks

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…

Guys I want to get a bike for this summer, and I was looking at this 1986 Yamaha Radian. It has 32k miles, has new O rings, chain and new oil. Fresh paint and seat. Its online so I have not driven it. is 32k miles too much, and how is the 32k mile mark Isnt it too much? Price is 750 or 800. Also, how is the Radian bike, is it good . I just need a nice bike that I can park on the streets of NYC and not worry about it being stolen.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. For some reason my Fazer 600 (2004 model) break light does not switch off. Neither the front or rear brake is engaged so I suspect the sensor is gone. Any idea where this sensor is located on the bike? Thanks, Nico

I have a 1988 FZ 600 which I'm in the process of restoring, can anyone tell me what the exact colours are for my bike? Its red & white, the white on the fairings look slightly pearlescent, is this the correct colour? If anyone could give me any help that would be great. I want it to end up as original as possible. Also, where could I get replacement decals from, I've looked on ebay but there isn't any. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys just incase you've not seen it. MCN are collecting names to petition against road pricing for bikes. There's only a few days left. If you've not already done so and you don't want to pay "congestion" charges for your bike. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/MCNroadpricing/ Cheers Tango2

just though i whould say hello new to the site

Hi. Does anyone know if the rear wheel (with alloy rim) from a 77-ish xt500 or even the alloy-rimmed rear wheel from a later-model dtmx can replace the stock steel-rimmed rear wheel from a 75/76 dt400? The wheel bearing ID is the same. I know that the brake backing plate is different between later model dts and the 75/76 wheels, but a suitable replacement from a xt wheel (or even possibly one from a 75/76 dt) will likely work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all. New to site and new to bikes. just bought 2000 R6-first bike ordered paddock stands designed fo rbike but not sure how yo use them, any advice for newbee in all aspects of bikes? Cheers in advance
