Hi All, I have a 1988 xv250. According to the manual the bike should be positioned "straight up" when checking the oil. Is this true or should it be on the sidestand? Thanks.

Am between bikes at the mo having sold my r1 recently, will no doubt have another soon. What's with the £2 fee to re-regeister on the forum

Hi all, Just thought I would be noise and see what sort of clothing you guys were when out the bike in the winter, summer, track days and commuting?? My self is: Commuting is Hein Gericke Jacket (Textile) most the time I use my hein gericke Jeans (Leather) unless I go to college and then it is swift textile jeans. I have started using Sidi Vetigo boots (only bought them to day) and either my Technik Leather gloves or textile (cannot remember the name) and oh yea the most important bit I use a Caberg V2 helmet. ( 10/10 for the helmet as it has an inner dark visor great for when it is sun rise and sun set) On the track i will use my (crashed and bashed due to donn…

..following on from advice i read o this site i went in search of the Petrol Tank overflow valve which is supposed to restict airflow through the tank (creating a vacuum and possible flat-spots on the power curve). Here's how it's done: Remove pillion seat (one nut) Remove seat (2 allen bolts) Remove single Petrol tank securing bolt (or 2 separate bolts on underside of frame) and lift rear of tank slightly to loosen it. Slide tank backwards about 2 inches (so forward mount slides off rubber seat mount) Pull off rubber seat Remove 8mm bolt securing black plastic cover protecting filter area Remove left hand plastic cover by unclipping top joint (which joins both p…

Hi Everyone , just thought i'd introduce myself, i passed my DAS a couple of months ago and bought my first bike which is being delivered this Friday. It's a 2005 Model R6 with the upside down forks etc. I bought it from Infinity Motorcycles in Clapham for £4995, it's black (Raven i believe) and has covered 4000 miles it was first registed at the end of May 2006 so still has one years warranty. I could have spent more and bought a newer model but decided that the extra money was best spent on decent leathers, boots, gloves, back protector etc. I already had a HJC Helmet that i use for trackdays in my Lotus Elise but i'll probably upgrade this soon enough (is this …

How often should you clean your chain. Got a ybr thats a year old and the chain still looks well oiled.I spray chain lube on it after heavy rain but should i be taking the old clogged up oil off with a chain cleaner, applying new oil and lube to keep the chain in good nick or just wait till it really needs it and can see the first inkling of rust?

Tonight at the Newcastle(Metro) Arena...can't wait! Also they have Children of Bodom supporting them, so be \M/etaaaaaaaaaal!

Well, we’ve got off on the wrong foot i should of introduced my self. My names Sean, 17 and love all things classic Yamaha. Be it Lc's, powervalves, RD's, TZR's, FZR's. I like them all. My main passion is restoring them; this is my RD50mxII, brought for £155, in boxes 18 months ago. Sorry if I offended anybody by not introducing myself. As some of you on here may know, I’m into my RD’s and TZR’s. Well turns out my little RD50 has made it through to a certain magazines, top 15 rebuild of the year This is where I need your help. It works a little like that program called x-factor or something along them lines. So basically I need your help, get voting. It costs 10p…

Hi all just joined this fourm,so please be gentle, iam martin,from the lancashire area,been riding two years,ride a fazer 600. Looking forword to many get chats and advice.

....is nor more! i went out all afternoon sunday: Abergavenny, Talgarth, Builth Wells, Llandindrod, Newtown. Coming back i was riding through Hereford. Pulled away from a set of lights, a car decided to do a right turn straight in front of me. i wind up in Hereford County Hospital all evening, badly bruised - specially the family jewels went over the back of the car-with a somersualt. the bike has been recovered to 'who knows' and the last i saw of it, it looked very poorly. i think it is a write off, only 700 miles too! oh well, onwards and upwards! wont be sleeping much tonight tho!

Hi everyone, i forgot to introduce myself so i thought i'd throw this up and let you see the bloody mess i've made of a nice bike. I've just bought an 'Ace for a few long trips over Summer with me mates and the missus in Europe. Its not the first Yam i've owned and truth be told all my mates still consider me to be a Yamaha Man, over the years i've had DT50, RS125, YB100, YPVS350, FZ750, FZR600, FZR1000 Gen, and probably a few more i've forgotten. I bet the pics dont work, i'm Terry Fuckwit when it comes to 'puters.

Hi everyone. quite a while to wait until im 17 but im starting to consider my options in regards to personal transport. The DT will be going soon after my b'day and i've been quoted £250 to insure me on my Jawa 350 (TP F&T) which would be ideal as it shouldn't take more than £100 to get the jawa tarted up and running. however, im starting to consider getting a small car as i dont quite fancy freezing my tits off by riding through another winter, Ford Capri 1600 Laser would be nice but thats £2,500 to insure and no doubt will need the floorpans welding back in at some point or another. so i looked at the insurance for a Peugeot 106, bit more reasonable as i…

Hi All Just introducing myself , just bought an XT600 after passing my DAS a couple of weeks ago, have been doing some off roading for a while on my TTR250. Looking for inspiration from other riders.

Hi there, now can anyone reccommend nice fitting girlie leathers???? Im sick of buying off of e-bay, I must have half a dozen sets now!!! and mmmmmm think they have shrunk over the winter?? I'd prefer the nice soft leather as they hard ones are so uncomfortable, so any reccommendations would be grateful. Thanks Fiona
