    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.

    Well I'm gutted, was just out in the shed doing some bits and bobs and generally tidying up when I bumped into betty and she went down, catching my thigh on the way. Thankfully nothing is broken bar one of my piss poor weldings on the exhaust and the floor as the foot peg buried its self into it. Here's a fresh pic of my leg it's about 8-9 inches if you wanna know bippo and sash, and the cut is about 7 inches. Gunna have a very nice bruise in the coming days.

    Anyone following the thread "to squires or not to squires" will have read that i had potentially brought another RD. I got home on saturday afternoon and just looked on fleabay for a couple of minutes and saw a RD for sale with a few minutes left to go on the auction. I had a punt and won it. I tried to make contact with the seller but texts were not answered and when I called he was always busy, promised to call me back, but didnt. I was starting to get a bad feeling! The bike was an impulse buy, I coudnt check the history as the number plate was covered and there was not a lot of information in the description. I got a call from the seller at about half six las…

    A few years ago i had to sell my dream machine to pay someones elses debts after a nasty split. Ever since i have kept an eye on fleabay/bike trader etc in the hope of being able to buy it back. Well it went on ebay on Weds and was sold virtually straight away. I only saw the ad last night and called ASAP but was too late. Totally gutted. Hope the new owner has as much fun as i did.
