well was out on my xj yesterday and when i had to stop couldn't change down gear because my foot kept slipping off the gear shift from all the oil that was saturating my engine, jeans, boots, rear wheel. a piston ring has gone by the looks of it as when the engine was hot enough the oil was coming back through the air box like a running tap. that combined with needing a new exhaust and rear tyre actually means it would cost more to fix the bike up for mot next week than it would to buy another bike...... dilema..... i cant find a yamaha i can afford right now......... so the temporary optins are mot my nsr 125 or but a gsxr750 for £500

Hey folks! Sorry not been posting on here much recently, jobhunting was a pain but back to work now which is much better. Anyway - added another Yam to the stable last week when i bought my oldest son a PW50 for his upcoming birthday! Looked around usual sources (ebay, gumtree etc) & found one tucked away in a womans garage. Usual story, kids outgrown blah blah blah. It was a bit rough cosmetically but started on the first kick. So i gave her buttons for it & brought it home! Nice parcel of bits arriving tomorrow to fix any issues & tidy the cosmetics but still works out as a bargain. Hope junior likes it - but he's already bike mad so fingers c…

I own a 2001 Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar. She runs like a dream and is the most comfortable riding position for me. But I stuggle with poor performance in initial take off/ lift. I have already changed the front sprocket to one tooth less, but have found no difference. Does anyone know if there are restrictors fitted or of any other ideas to try to give the bike a boost?

Hi. I am new on here despite owning my Thundercat since I was 19yrs old. I have not had it on the road for two yrs since I bought a new Honda 600rr and now want it back on the road! It failed an MOT last yr on rusted downpipes and have just taken them off etc and am looking for replacement ones. Does anyone have anything to offer on replacement ones in terms off what to get. I know some people say aftermarket ones don't always fit easily!!!! I would buy replacement non stainless if necessary. I would be doing arounf 500 miles per year at best!! I look forward to hearing what people think. Thanks Rob
