Hi. My name is Simon. I'm 32 and live in Norfolk with my fiancee Marcia and 19 month old daughter Maisie. I have been riding for 3 years. I have just sold my GPZ500S and I am going to be looking for an SR125 at the end of the month as it's cheaper to run, tax, insure etc and we have another child on the way. Basically I just need to do 16 miles per day as cheaply as possible. The SR was the bike I did my cbt on and I really enjoyed riding it so I figure why not buy one. IF anyone has one coming up for sale, or knows of one that will be, from the first week of June onwards, then let me know. I should have roughly £6-700 to spend but as time goes on I'll have more cash...no…

I just knew there had to be a site out there like this. Looking forward to meeting everyone and adding where I can. On my first bike - I have taken it pretty well apart and am putting it back together now so... basically I know a fraction of what I want to know, and am willing to help anyone who might not know one of the few things I do.

hey, i was driving on the interstate the other day. Um, trying to keep up with my friends who do not have dualsports. anyway, the gas line going into the carbs blew off. The bike was still running fine on the interstate probably because she was all the way opened up. when i pulled off, the engine flooded and it turned off. i eventually put the fuel line back onto the nipple for the carbs. But now whats happening is this. With the gas off everythings okay, no leaking. THe engine just is really flooded if i kick it over and it won't start. When i turn the gas on, fuel starts coming out of the fuel emissions line.(the tube that is hanging underneath the bike, …

Hi guys, I have recently purchased my first Yamaha and I love it. The problem I have is that when I got it I gave it a good service, changed the gearbox oil ect.. I also drained the existing 2 stroke oil and replaced it with good quality fully synsethic oil and since then its been running really badly. When it gets to about 7000 rpm it splutters and mutters and I have to ease off the throttle and gently try to accelerate again which helps a bit but its still not right. Is it the 2 stroke oil coz thats the only thing I have changed??? I am very confused with it. What 2 stroke oil would you recommend? Also I want to get a better performance exhaust on it, can any one rec…
