Van Horebeek is finding an effective rhythm and feeling on the works YZ450FM and showed positive speed in just his second outing on the new motorcycle. The circuit at Noto was bumpy and technical but ‘JVH’ attacked the surface with confidence. Jeremy had to work in the first sprint to recover from a mid-top ten start but was able to find room past Todd Waters and other GP peers to reach second spot. A top three launch in the next moto put him right at the front from the get-go but Cairoli’s holeshot and pace on home turf was tough to match. “Overall another good weekend with some solid results,” evaluated Team Manager Mino Raspanti. “Jeremy improved his start in the s…

This photo was taken 2 weeks after I got it: These 3 after after the exhaust leak was fixed and painted. Exposed part of the frame repainted black and top part of engine also repainted black. Repainted foot pegs, and most rust surface removed from handlebars: What do you think of it now that it looks better guys? Btw, I do want to fix the seat, but not sure It will stay with since I'm in high school (year 12 A/S level) and not sure if I will stay in Greece (current location) or study abroad. Another reason is that I can't legally ride it since I'm 17 and I should be at least 18 to get the license. Those 2 reasons are what makes me sell it and buy something …

Rossi and Lorenzo both undertook a race simulation in the stifling Malaysian heat this afternoon to shake the 2014 M1 down over race distance. Four–time world champion Lorenzo was also happy having completed the three days. The Mallorcan made good progress during the riding sessions, managing to closely replicate the feeling of the 2013 bike whilst making the big reductions in fuel required for the 2014 season. Lorenzo completed the final day in third position, just 0.333 seconds from the front. The MotoGP paddock will return to Sepang on February 26th for the second official test of the year. Valentino Rossi 2nd / 1'59.727 “The test has been very good, I’m very…

Hi, I hope someone would be able to help me. I have an 06 DTR 125 and the Oil light comes on constantly when the engine is hot, the oil tank is full. I have noticed it seems not to use a lot of oil. could it be a blocked oil pipe? if so what sort of job is it to take apart and clean. Thanks

Hi Folks... As a fairly newbie sort of returned rider, with little or no mechanical skill, I was wondering about potential service costs on my 1994 Virago 535... I plan to take a short trip to France in June with a mate, and although my bike seems to run pretty well, I thought maybe I should get it serviced before I go....having said that, it had a service (oil/plugs /filter etc) just before I bought it 18 months ago, and I have only done about 500 miles on it since!!!! Any ideas of the sort of costs I could expect, also what sort of work should be carried out??? Apologies for my ignorance!!! Cheers. Stuart

Just ordered a few bits from Fowlers. My first time there. The site said everything was in stock. Paid and got an email saying every single item was on backorder. Not impressed. I won't be using them again.
