Hey all just changed my oil in my dt125r to the recommended amount in haynes but can not see any oil in the window is this normal?

I recently purchased a new float vavlve from yambits as the DT was leaking fuel when standing and running rich. Problem is it doesnt look anyhing like the original. The original is a screw fit and this is non threaded and has a rubber seal . Does it just push in ???? If not where on earth do I get a replacement from >????

So winters starting to truly set in now. Weathers getting wetter and ice in the mornings. I ride every day without fail. Always try and keep the bike clean. Noticed my front forks and disk brakes are starting to show slight bits of rust. The bikes brand new. Got it from local dealer in Sept/Oct. Is there anything I should be applying/spraying on? Something to prevent this or clean it? She's kept in the garage overnight and at work I always throw over a rain cover. Anyone able to help? Hope everyone has a good new years!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Santa brought me some great biking bits; A Bultaco open face helmet A pair of Halcyon goggles - with tinted lenses A white silk motorcycle scarf I am really made up and I am so pleased with what Santa chose for me. That sorts out my classic look for my old bikes rideouts however there is more. Some of you may know that I sold my SV before Christmas, this has left me with no main bike. During the holidays I have been looking on Fleabay for another commuter and saw some "possibles" in the local Yami main dealers. I wanted a naked bike and really was set on a XJ6-N. The local dealer had 3 used ones between the 2010 to …

hi all just wondering what the score is on the law for the noise of exhaust and what one is best for my yamaha xt125x as my stock can is a rust bucket and soon will be blowing holes out on it what is the best can to fit that will comply with the uk laws martin

Okay so before you read this, take note that I don't care about loosing any value to the bike. I'm not fussed about killing it and I'm not fussed on the 'wasting' money part. I'm just seeing what I can get out of it, for it is a 125, + enduro. It currently does 70 to 75 on a good day, 65 to 70 on a normal day. I want to see if I can add 10 to 15 mph to it (maybe more, but probably not, I know!). So for the upgrades (ones I currently know of): Smaller sprocket on back, larger 1 on front (increase top end). TTR125 150cc Big Bore Kit (can fit it to XT125, apparently!). Put on a straight through (ditch the cat) and a better end can. K&N Filter and block off the…

Whats the difference between my old 2004 fazer fz6 and my new 2006 fz6n . First theres no fairings i no that 2nd it seems lower 3rd the fuel tanks seems bigger 4th it seems more powerfull Is there anyting else ???

Hope everyone's had a great Christmas Ok basically when ever I ride I always suffer pins and needles and a painful numbness in my throttle hand. I've tries to relax my hand when riding but it hasn't helped(had the same on my bike lessons aswell)I don't get this in my clutch hand at all,it's bearable but certainly isn't pleasant when riding Any advice???

Woooooooooooo passed my mod 2 today! Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new license. So glad it's finally out the way too

Hi, I'm doing some work with the government on motorcycle road safety and had a few quick questions I'm hoping you can help with. What could car drivers do better to make the roads safer for motorcyclists? Where do you get riding tips from, other riders, forums, government advertising? List 5 words which would describe how you think car drivers see you? How would you like them to see you? What’s the best part about riding? What’s the best part of the riding community? If you could tell drivers 1 thing, what would it be? If you're in Australia, is there anything specific you'd like to add about road safety here? It'd be great if you can copy and paste the questions and…

I'm going to be moving in the new year and I need to think about storage for my bike(s). I want to get at least two more bikes on top of my WR. I want a 125 2T and a crosser for the weekends. I've been looking at the metal sheds you can buy and they seem to be the best option. I would imagine that they are really thin and easy to break into. Does anyone have one, or something similar?

Hi guys got a letter saying I had to declare my XT off the road and post my tax disc back to the DVLA. I then noticed the letter was sent from ASKMID and not the DVLA. Do I just wait until I heR from the DVLA or sorn it ASAP? I've never done this before so all advice appreciated. Thanks
