The Bar

Well firstly to apologise for all the MYSQL errors everyone is getting!!! The site was moved servers and everything in the end was fine apart from losing a days worth of posts. Then some moron decided to change the MYSQL settings on the server which has screwed up more than one of my sites. Once one was fixed it was screw up the other one... and so on. This site appears to be fine but ive had to back it up to my copy which is from last week hence the missing posts. I am still waiting on the backup to be implemented from the 15th. This is so frustrating and i cannot belive a server migration could have been implemented before all the correct modules for…

New forums for only xj600 seca II owners. As a member of this forum I realized the necessity of a Seca II forum and created one. Hopefully we can help each other out and also shoot the breeze. http://seca2.forumup.org

I spent a few days hugging some corners in western North Carolina recently when I found myself totally out ridden by a group of female motorcyclists from Seattle. It seems the gang was not as they appeared. They wore patches on the backs of their dirty leather jackets that said they were Vampires, and the quickness they showed on those twisty roads had me believing they were the real thing. This all began after a night of camping at High Country Motorcycle Camp ( http://www.highcountrymotorcyclecamp.com/ ), located deep inside the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, I was up early to flip through some curves on what I hoped would be a deserted Blue Ridge Parkway.…

Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Sam. I'm 20 and I cant wait till i'm 21 so I can take my big bike test lol! I'm looking to get a R6 as a first bike. Any yays and nays on this would be helpful. So HI everyone. Sam

So you dumbasses better give me the respect I deserve! And Moseley.......keep out of my way you punkass pee-on.

And the victim this time was Yam100RX-S who decided to be as disruptive as possible running round the site hurling abuse. As all the others in the past (and there's been a lot) will tell you.....we don't tolerate people trashing our house. Yam100RX-S.....you are the weakest link....Goodbye!

Just bought a YZ85 2002 two-strke for my g-friend and a wr450x for myself . I'm an avid mt biker ... actually help run mtbr.com and their forums. Thought I'd introduce myself and get started before I *really* get started I don't know why we ended up with Yamahas. I was looking at the Hondas but came across the perfect 2-stroke and great CA financing in Burlingame, CA, USA. I hope it all works out.

I have a Yamaha RX-S 100cc and want to know what the size of the gap should be in the spark plug?

Out on my Cat last night ( lovely sunny evening)..I've had it for 2 months now and am gradually feeling more confident. Anyway going quite fast round twisty country roads here in North Devon, I found that a couple of times when going too fast into a corner ( judged it wrong --let's be honest ) trying to lean over more and grabbing a large handful of front brake, the bike suddenly tried to go straight on, and tried to come upright. I was really lucky on a left hand hairpin (VERY tight), when I realised I was too hot into it, braked hard, and the bike stopped turning and carried straight on over to the outside lane....if anything was coming the other way I'd be "daid a…

HI I HAVE A UK SPEC 1997 THUNDERCAT WHOOSE FRONT BRAKE CALLIPERS HAVE SEIZED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CALLIPERS AND THEY WILL NEED REPLACING, AND HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED FAZER CALLIPERS AS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF FAZER FRONT CALLIPERS WILL FIT MY CAT AND IF SO ANY PARTICULAR MODEL/YEAR OF FAZER? OR DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO CONFIRM THIS BEFORE I SPEND MY HARD EARNED £'S ALL ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS VERY WELCOME. THANKS

Hey everyone, My name is Nick, I'm 21 and I've been riding for 17 years (my bicycle that is ). I have been wanting a motorcycle for a loooooong time and now that I'm out from under the watchful eye of my mother and father, I have purchased my first. It's a 1978 Yamaha DT175, pretty much not my dream ride but a cheap bike for me to learn on. My question is a legal one, if anybody is knowledgable on that subject. I live in California. I asked a motorcycle enthusiast accquaintance if he could locate a few parts for me. I need a couple of mirrors, a brake light, brake light relay, turn signal relay, ignition switch, and battery in order for me to satis…

HIPPY BARFDAY! mate

Hi Guys, Just bought a yam bt 1100 bulldog from a local dealer, now i know everyone slags them off as a gutless and lardy machine but i happen to like the fact that i cant go too fast!however, since picking it up on saturday i have noiced that if i go above 6500 revs the engine seems to cut back, i have just taken it to the dealer who stated that this is totally normal and it is due to the rev limiter kicking in.....ive never heard of this before! is there anyone out there who knows this to be true?!?!?

I brought my FJR back from the middle east, ( you guys don't know what hot is). To get it registered in the UK I need to change the dip light and the speedo disk. HELP. Anyone tell me the best way without forking out £300. Desperate to get it sorted as I can't get it insured until it's done.

Our club pres getting ready for a Bank Holiday Ride-Out

Is there such as thing as a Maxim Owners Club in the UK? I have just got my hands on a 1985 700cc US import, and am new to biking so need as much friendly (and simple) advice as possible. The best way to do it would be to link up with other Maxim owners instead of badgering the hell out of all-and-sundry! So if anyone knows of such an Owners Club, please let me know!
