    Hey peeps the back end of the XJ turbo is more or less ready to go back on, the wheels and frame are going down to Rolling Art in swindon to be refurbished and the forks are going to Philpots in luton, theres only a few things left to source and the puzzle is complete, one of these parts is the rear brake shoes springs, the rear brake shoes are EBC Y515s, the old ones were rust as hell and i want to make sure i get the springs right to prevent any chance of failure

  5. Just picked up a 2012 WR450F on saturday. Everything about the bike is perfect besides the fact i can barley touch the ground im like 5'7". I adjusted the sag enough to where i can side saddle it but thats not going to work very well when im flying through the trails and i come to a sudden stop or im slowly creeping. Is there anyway of lowering it besides a yamalink lowering link? I cant adjust the triple clamp at all. any help would be appreciated thanks

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. For some reason my Fazer 600 (2004 model) break light does not switch off. Neither the front or rear brake is engaged so I suspect the sensor is gone. Any idea where this sensor is located on the bike? Thanks, Nico

    Ever had to use breakdown relay? if so who have you used and were they successful? Had a chance myself to find out when my bike would not start in that heavy rain last night..........and I ended up getting myself home at 1.30 am................ Don't worry I've been on the phone this morning!!!!!! I'm with the AA and have breakdown with Relay, except they used a 3rd party company, who had no means to take the bike home .......or me!....and now I have to go back to work (where I left it) and get her home. They've offered to come out again but I'm so F********* off, I don't want anything more to do with them today. Probably hasty words but when you've only had a fe…

    Headed to my local breakers this saturday again for few bits & bobs but gonna have to restrain myself. Last time i was there I spotted an FZR1000, has been streetfightered - fully polished frame, aftermarket exhaust, nice paint job on the tank (kinda dark cherry with pearl finish then tasteful flames airbrushed on) Someone had spent a lot of money on this! Little or no damage to this, think had been stolen & recovered. Will struggle not to enquire when i'm there! Just wondering what interesting things people have found in breakers etc?

    I love this Doctor! Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it.s true? ..don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef…

    today me and my firnd have completed a just under an 100 mile round trip! we set off from my house at about 10 and didn't return till about half three! our route took us through some beautiful places, and some shit roads to! we saw the beach at morcombe, stopped for lunch in lancaster and stopped at dunsop bridge and beacon fell!! it was brilliant some roads are rediculous to ride on though especially with the stupidly skinny tires on my tzr. however both of us completed our tour well and we really enjoyed it! Who said you can't have fun on a 50cc is talking bollox!!!! here is a picture of my bike at morcombe... and another one in the middle of no where…
