The Bar

I own a Yamaha FZS bike, now four years old. I'm experiencing problems during revving up the bike to high speeds. The engine gives up suddenly, the throttle doesn't respond(like what you face when the fuel tank goes dry), but the fuel tank is full, battery is recently charged. Then I need to keep the bike idle for around 10 - 15 minutes, then the engine check light blinks and then i can start the bike again but not for long when this happens again. I have changed the whole electrical wiring twice now but doesn't seem to solve the problem. It works good till a week after servicing the bike, but then this starts again. Please guys help me out to fix this.

Just seen this on fb. Thinking of ordering a few, anyone want some? Haha Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I live in Australia and recently purchased a 1985 SRX 600 (1JK model) as a grey import. Great bike however it is running an SRX 400 rear wheel. I have sourced and found an RZ 500 wheel from the same build period that is the correct mag design however it is a 3.00 x 18 whereas the standard wheel is a 2.75 x 18. If someone can assist with info about the compatibility of this larger rim and whether it will be a fit, would be appreciated. I am hoping, given it from the same period, that Yamaha sourced the RZ wheel from the parts bin and therefore most of the hardware from my rim can be swapped over. Thanks

Summer has basically about to start for me, what do you think I should start of fixing on my own in terms of looks before taking it to the shop to fix a fuel leak that I suspect is the fuel tap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems he passed away today. I am still working out what was going on in The Young Ones and Bottom but they were funny.

went to Brid on my little 125 yesterday with hubby, and i said to him as we parked up, hope i don't stall on the way out as its a steep hill from the harbour car park! Anyway walked round had the usual fish chips and a cuppa! Got back to the bikes to see a chap on a brand new 125 bike, not sure what make, had all saddlebags, screen etc, he got halfway up the said hill and......stalled! I really felt for him as he kept trying to get it going, his mate behind on a 1300 Suzuki shouting * " what gear you in you plonker" he ignored him but tried again, by this time 3 bikers sat on the wall stood up and started clapping and jeering, i whizzed round after sitting on my bike and …

HI Guys, Need some of your views on what might be the problem for my bike. I own a Yamaha Fazer bike, now four years old. I'm experiencing problems during revving up the bike to high speeds. The engine gives up suddenly, the throttle doesn't respond(like what you face when the fuel tank goes dry), but the fuel tank is full, battery is recently charged. Then I need to keep the bike idle for around 10 - 15 minutes, then the engine check light blinks and then i can start the bike again but not for long when this happens again.

I had to go into Bradford Town and parked my bike in the usual place outside an Army careers office. When I had done my shit I come back to the bike and my helmet and gloves have been stolen. I went to the army careers to ask if they'd seen out. I always say hello to them when they are having a cig outside so a few of them recognise me. Checked the cameras and the bike is just out of view. Just bought a new pair of motocross gloves as well. Anyway luckily one of the army lads lent me his helmet so I didn't have to pay £20 to get a taxi home to get one of my others. Good job I have a spare. I usually lock the helmet to the handlebars but lately have slacked off, not that I…

Decided to take my newly acquired Draggy for a spin yesterday, lovely sunny day tra la la. Stopped for petrol 1.3 miles from home, paid for petrol, sat on bike, ignition, starter button .... nothing ! To cut a very long story short I called the breakdown / recovery ppl after trying to bump it , the first chap came and couldn't start it with a jump and had the wrong vehicle to lift it, so a second vehicle was called for. In the meantime I decided to text the chap I bought it from to see if he had any ideas .... The 3 magic rules came as the reply 1. Sidestand. 2. Neutral. 3. Kill switch. I chose number 3 and went home calling myself some wonderf…

Hi everybody. Does anyone have experience with sidecases on xj600n from year 2003. I just bought mine a few weeks ago and I'm thinking about mounting sidecases but the bike seems pretty small for them. If anyone has some pictures or links I would be grateful. Thanks
