    Great start to the new year!! Dropped my bike yesterday 55 platye FZ6, luckily the only damage is a scratched clutch cover and bent clutch lever. Flipping peeved off about it though, can’t believe I did it, just stopped was talking to the missus, leant the bike over onto the kick stand but what hadn’t I done? Put the bleeding kick stand down that’s what! got to the point of no return and down it went, bugger! So where can I get some touch up paint for the clutch cover and where is the best place to get spares from? Happy new year!

    Hi all Paul 33 years old English born living in Beaune France. I've been riding on and off for the last 15 years and I recently bought a FZ750 model 3KS 1991. Any of you planning on a trip over here this year let me know 'cause it'd be nice to ride with some Brits.

    Hi to everyone I've got a 1991 yamaha FZ 750 an I'm looking for some ideas to spruce it up a little. When I bought it it was missing all of its fairings. I bought the neccesary parts but they will need to be painted. I thought about trying to make it look larger at the front as well as a complete paint job. If any of you have any ideas about what I could do it would be nice. Thanks Paul

    I have not been here in some time, but I have a question about rejeting two carbs instead of all 3. the reason is that I put on a new set of 3 into 1 pipes. the right and ctr carbs are much shorter than the left pipe. The pipes are from MAC Pipe co. Ithink that the back pressure is so much less on the right and ctr cyls because of short pipes because the plugs are tanish white on both and the plug on the left cyl is normal color. this is after running 70 mph for 10 miles and killing the engine with kill switch and throttle in same place, with clutch in. So is it smart to put in 1 or 2sizes larger jets on those 2 carbs ? Any help is welcomed, thanks Jim

    Farewell Ode Friend Yep...Hell has officially froze over!.....I sold my Baby last night due to some much needed funding issues. Definitely the hardest of all my bikes to let go of. Best part of this tale is that I sold it to my mate of 20+ years....the very same guy I bought it from 11 years ago! Which means incidently.....that I'll still get to ride her on occassion!

    Why? Why me? I am trying to sell a bike at the moment, not the best time of year to sell a bike, but its a winter bike - originally bought for the wife. Now we are with sprog its surplus to requirements. So why do I only get calls from fuggin' idiots? I had a couple turn up last weekend, I rolled it out of the garage and they both had a look of mild disgust on their faces, I knew it wasnt going to go well. I suppose its partly my fault, the advert says W reg bike (old W reg) £300. But this pair thought £300 got them a new W reg bike, after some kicking of tires and poking and asking some fairly insulting questions, they told me they had just been to a bike sho…
