The Bar

Hi I am cyco900 live in mid Wales. have a crashed TDM900 at moment. Am a member BOF mcc as ya can see in my avtar. going for a look around your forums now.

I recently got a flat tyre on the front of my winter bike. I took it along to a local bike shop as I could not be bothered to change the inner tube myself (yes lazy I know), but £10 saw me on the road again in under 30 mins. I was dissmayed to find yesterday that I had a flat again. So, I whipped the front tyre off the rim expecting to find a nail through the side wall. Can you imagine my suprise when a set of feeler guages plopped out. I know they are not mine as I checked and my set is in my tool box, so tomorrow I will be giving the garage a quick ring to ask if they would like their feeler guages back and can they supply me with a replacement inner tube - this ti…

Hi All, Just Joined, Just got back on 2 wheels after a year, whey hey!! Speak to you all soon. Peace

Hello, Just joined as I have bought a Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat. 03 plate, pick her up next week. My previous bike was a SV650 so looking forward to the extra umphh the Thundercat has. Any hints or tips for a first time owner of a Thundercat would be greatly appreciated. Any advice on the set up of the suspension would be especially helpful as the suspension on my previous SV650 is about as adjustable as my 3 years raleigh Bumble Bee!!! I understand you need height and weight so 5'11" about 13 stone ish

got some more in progress picts at http://photobucket.com/albums/110/kchops/image005 :D

Hi i need a new pair of tyres on my r6 (last years) i fancy something diffrent from the dunlops .any one got any ideas

Anbody know if the mounting points are in the same place on FZR1000 1988 for engine as they are for the thunderace because I`m under the impression its a newer version of the same engine in the thunderace, bearing in mind the 1988 FZR and the later FZR had slightly different frames.

Hi all i have a Yamaha TTR600E 2005 not a single scratch on it look like new electric start and 2 sets of rear and front weels one with endouro tires and other with road tires.it milage is 900 miles and it is blue and white with 10 liter fuel tank i paid US$ 8000 for it registered and ready to go.Is it to much or are it a fear price.Here in Iceland we have lot of lighter bikes such a Honda 450 crf and Yamaha wrf but also those heavy bikes but they are most old Dakars.Please give me some responce.

I've got a restricted license as I'm only 18, and have been riding for 1 year - not two. In my first bandit I had a 33bhp restriction kit put in for a 'tidy sum' of £170 to make my bike go slower. It soon fell out after my riding skill and confidence grew, and I felt happy with the ~70bhp that I had at my control. I was wondering whether anyone knows what penalties or fines you can face if the police find your bike to have no restriction kit in, when you're meant to? Just forward planning Cheers, Nick.

Very impressed with this short clip. I'll show him when i pass my test I dread to think how many bones must get broken in learning stunts like that.

Does anyone recognize this model or know the production years? Just saw it in a little town in Costa Rica. Also was it ever for sale in the U.S.? Thanks http://www.yamahaclub.com/gallery/displayi...cat=0&pos=0

hi everyone

Hi all, I got myself a 2003 R6 last october after lusting after it for ages! I love it to bits and cant fault it only its previous owner only had 1 key, not a problem i thought i will get one cut. Bugger. After reading through the owners manual and surfing the net it seems i need my red key to get one programed, I have read about getting my current black key cloned so im not f*&k$d if i lose one. Has any one had this done on a Yamaha R6 or know of anywhere where it can be done? Come on i cant be alone out there with only one key! Cheers, any help appreciated!
