The Bar

I have a AG100 farm bike. The clutch will not disengage. For a while it tended to stick engaged but would disengage after a few tries. Now nothing works. I have tried adjusting it. What is involved in removing the clutch to check out what has happened? I have not been able to find repair information for this bike.

To say i am majorly pissed is an understatement. just been to move project FUCR from the long term car park to the works car park where i can work on it, only to find some theiving f*cking scrote has had away with my ace bars (including the top yoke!) and the dual headlight unit (bought for £60, never even been used). this is really starting to boil my piss. Not only this, about 4 weeks ago i happened to be driving past the caravan park at the end of the runway, and noticed that the rear lights on my caravan (i was pissed on ebay, its another project) have been stolen, the front locker prised open and the gas bottle nicked along with the electronics panel that was…

Hi my son and I are putting together a yamaha dt125x 2009 ,which we bought as a project We are almost done but we have a problem. The front end is shot the wheel is good but the front suspension is beyond repair local garage has quoted about £500 for new set ouch,so here's the question would a set of earlier DT125r Front forks fit I have had a look they look very very similar? Any opinions on this greatly received,want to get it finished and him out on the road Cheers jon

Hi folks, Hopefully you guys can help..... My DT125R barn find has NO wiring loom at all, so rather than buy one i'm keen to rebuild one from scratch so that i know how to do it / no breaks in the loom etc. Can anyone provide any guidance such as what gauge wire (5amp / 8amp etc) and what colors i will need? Im totally useless at wiring diagrams as the one in the haynes manuals looks like total jibberish, so if anyone has a simple guide for wiring up the CDI / Rectifier / ignition / lights. Hopefully thats not too painful, but i would really appreciate any help!. Thanks everyone.

Hi all, so I've literally just got back from my CBT which I passed fine. Now do I have to have L plates on front and back, I know they say yes but realistically what can I get away with ? I've seen some with only one on the back which I guess isn't as bad and as ugly as one on the front as well

I hate mince pies, turkey, xmas pud and snow.

Afternoon all Novice query.......I Need to temporarily remove the rear seat from the Dragstar. Is there a bolt underneath, or is it connected to the bolt and bracket behind the reflector below the seat? Cheers Dom

Need size 8 Boots any body know if these are any good. British made. Link wont copy at Ghostbikes though. Regards Simon

Hi my son recently bought a XT125 2005 vintage with only one ignition key which he has now mislaid or lost, he has bought a new switch for a 2007 model as the correct year one is £70 dearer in the hope it would fit without too much trouble. We have now found that although they both have 6 wires from the switch , they all go to one multi plug on the new switch but some go to a separate plug on the switch on the bike, does anybody know if its possible to splice and shrink wrap the right wires from the new switch to the old wiring, if any idea of wire colours it would be a help as we have no wiring diagrams.

Six weeks ago, in the last week of October, the Beast and I parted company at 50mph and rolled down the road separately for a while. The cast comes off my left wrist tomorrow and I still have a brace on my right knee but that's getting there. However it is with heavy heart that I report the parting of the Beast. I'm told that my beloved TR1 is not repairable. I now have to wait for the insurers to find a market value for a bike that is as rare as unicorn teeth (good luck with that one) so that they can decide what they believe it was worth.

Hello everyone, It's been a while. I still have four DT's, but progress on complete restoration of som, and engine rebuilds on the complete bikes has been slow due to me buying a house 12 months ago. I sold the RS 200 and TTR 250 before buying the house. So I've not ridden much recently either... So I have decided to fix this by buying a YB 100!! I've justified this by saying its a Christmas present for my new girlfrirend. :-) It's got six months MOT and looks tidy. I'm picking it up tonight. I'd post pisctures, but i'm lazy, so here's the ebay link chaps... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-YB100-Deluxe-Motorcycle-100cc-/221623728854?ssPageName=STRK%3…

Hi all, Just purchased my first bike, a new ybr125 and for the first 80 miles loved it! However the last 30 miles or so the bike has had problems going into third. I give it a firm flick and nothing but resistance with the clutch firmly in. This happens around 80% of the time and its very frustrating. It does however work second time everytime which i find very strange. Also When going from 3rd to 4th somtimes there there is no feedback at all no click or clunk, it goes but feels as though it hasnt if that makes sense? If anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated. Lee

bit of a silly question, do i put uleaded fuel in my rs200 or is there an additive i need besides 2 stroke oil ?

And today its Choppernorgate, many happy returns That PM you sent me Choppernorgate was a good idea too, no-one has sent in a request before, think you might have started a trend here, anyhoo here it is (jeez I feel like Dave Lee Travis)

I want a new helmet. I've had my current one for a few years and its scuffed and scratched, it's also been dropped a few times I had a dual sport which I liked but it got nicked. I currently have a moto x style one but I want to get a full face. After looking at all the options I just don't understand safety wise what the difference between is from a 50 quid to a 1000 quid helmet? Is buying a cheaper helmet dangerous because they are not as strong etc?

i know the rs200 didnt sell that well in the uk but cant find a solo seat for one anywhere, probably the rarest seat in the world !!!!!

So basically I'm going to get straight to the point, 2013 yzf 250, will it fit in my friends Vauxhall convo van? It's on a 54 plate, any more info just ask

hi anyone know where i might find a solo seat for a rs200, kindest regards ian.
