The Bar

Hi all just bought some wheel hubs for my dt200wr what size rims should I look for for the front and back and where is the best place to get some supermoto rims and spokes from any help appreciated thanks Paul

Yamaha FZX 750 has any had one what are they like to ride ?

I guess it will always be a matter of taste but I really like the look of this.

Hey peeps. is there anything stopping me from removing the killswitch from the bars and simply shutting off the ignition from the key? i.e. will it pass an mot or any inspectionwithout one? trying to neaten up the bars on the FUCR, luckily i still have a set of clubmans under my bed so they will have to suffice for now. plan is run the bare minimum, possibly jawa style ignition whereby the key is turned beyond the ignition position to illuminate the lights.

Hellooo everyone, In just a few days the all new Yamaha R1 will be released - well, not for sale but we'll know all about it. I thought I'd start this thread as a place we can post images, info and links to the news as it comes out. I find Asphalt and Rubber to be a pretty quick source of news, so that one will be worth keeping an eye on. TheRideAdvice is stating they're going to do a live blog. And this will be an actual stream from Milan for the unveiling. If you have anything you want to add let me know!

200 horses and only 181kg! Have to be quick though Lotus only plan on making 100!

Hi guys, I wondered if someone could help me with a query regarding replacing the handlebars on my 2012 XJ6N. I recently came off the bike at a pretty slow speed and only did a small amount of damaged which included bending the handlebars slightly. I'm looking into replacement them with the cheapest option possable. Has anyone replaced their previously and can off any help / advice of what bars to buy? Cheers, Nate.

Well fk me the speed has been .456mb for weeks, I thought it was the weather or line probs, So rained off today, contacted Sky, told them it was like dial-up. told them its new desk top windows8.1 , so they ran thru tests , and guided me to configure the wireless connection, Hey presto -2.7mb download speed , So don't just put up with crap service,, am in the sticks , no fibre broadband ,but what a difference,

I know how popular these things are on here so thought I'd share this in case anyone was interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT-125cc-175cc-Twin-shock-Parts-bike-/271646470148?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3f3f643004

hi everybody, so as I was doing a little spirited driving with my dad here in Carlsbad, California I noticed something peculiar. Okay, I know very well that a 1996 VFR 750 has a much more powerful engine, powerband is suffitiently different but where the hell is our power band? In 3rd gear I feel a little umph but mostly across the board the acceleration is just blah. Now, it does seem to have a good deal of torque in the lower gears so I'm able to pull through a turn (or continue to pull through, since I'm on the throttle all the time right? ) but where have you guys noticed the power band sitting at?

At a family do the other day the four bikers that were there got into heated debate, are loud pipes better than quiet pipes, my brother in law a rather conservative accountant who rides in London daily thinks load pipes just piss off car drivers, my son who rides a HD and myself a lover of big v twins think that loud pipes let cars know that your there, after all how many car drivers say " sorry I didn't see you" but unless they are deaf as well as blind with load pipes they at least know a bike is around. The fouth person in the debate said " I want to be heard its safer. Just wondered what you guys thought.

Hi ther is it possible to fit a larger tank to the 535 to get a better range??? I thought I read somewhere that a tank from the smaller models could be fitted.Is this possible does anyone know.?? Thanks inadvance.

Just booked my CBT renewal. It looks like I've been riding around illegally I thought the limit for renewal was 3 years (I'm sure it used to be when I first did it as a 16 year old) I am on m yhird year of riding so I should of renewed it last year. So obviously because I don't have a valid CBT I am riding illegally. I presume my insurance will be void.

Aware that he was still followed by rival Marquez, the Doctor put the hammer down on the next lap but went slightly off line on the last corner and was forced to give the position to Marquez. Rossi refused to give up and chased his rival but, as the tyres started to wear down and the heat started to take its toll, he was unable to retake the lead and finished the race in second, +2.445 behind the leader. Teammate Lorenzo catapulted off the line at the start of the Sepang battle and arrived at the first corner in second place until a slight touch with rival Marc Marquez forced him wide in the first corner. The Majorcan was quick to recover and went through the first cor…

Just a heads up, Guy martin's Speed is back on with a 2nd series

Hi all, I have a problem with my sons bike, the powervalve cap/cover is missing on the right side of the barrel allowing exhaust gases escape and black oil leak, any ideas what the part number is or where I can source one from?

Is it possible to clean up my exhaust I know I can get the dents blown out I don't really want to paint it as I like the plain metal look there's surface rust and general marks on it was just wondering can I get it looking newish

Good evening, I've recently purchased a 2013 YZF 250, brilliant bike, can not fault it. A few friends have told me that my bike seems small compared to their 250's, I took no notice of it until tonight, I had nothing better to do so I decided d get the tape measure out and take a measurement for myself, my seat height turnt out to be 36 1/2 inches and my ground clearance was around 12 inches. I done some research over the Internet to find the stock 2013 YZF 250 should be 39 inches as the seat height and 14 inch ground clearance, correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I found. I measured the ground clearance by myself so it's not bang on accurate. Anybody know how to rais…
