Edit DDT: Wanted items in the wanted section please.

I'm facing a slight seat dilemma, the more I stare at the sr seat the more I want to burn it, just so horrible like who would design such a thing?! Basically I'm looking for a seat a bit like Thin and just like this, simple plain black, cheap too hopefully, can anyone direct me in the right place? Don't know how long I can last with the current seat ugh!! I've already had a brief look and can't seem to find much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all can anyone clarify if you can still do a restricted access with a passed theory test as a 24+ on a 125cc and ride up to a 400cc for 2 years then apply for a full licence with no further test Sparky67

I hear alot about ppl needing a stove to bake parts to cure parts/paint and the wife wont let you . Soulition check your local paper or net source and get free stoves,people are giving them away weekly I got 2 in a week other parts might be broken but as long as the stove works then a few bucks to go get them is ,,well free IMO if you can run a few parts through them and then scrap the stove collect your $$ for the metal For ppl who live on this side of the pond try KIJIJ free stuff under the clasified every day someone seems to be giving 1 away Likie this one http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-appliances-stoves-ovens-ranges-stove-W0QQAdIdZ543200239

Well the bikes been in the garage for two weeks, supposedly waiting on parts. It's not even back on the road yet and I'm stressing out over it. Same old shit. Wonder what 'other problems' they have come across while doing a simple job. It can't be more than two hours labour and the price of the gear shaft which is what, about 60/70 quid?

The bulb in my XVS1100 blew the other week. I picked up a cheapy replacement and it blew almost straight away. It was only £1.99 from The Range, so I put it down to being a cheap and nasty bulb, and the bike being a thumper, the vibrations. Bought a decent one (OSRAM Night Racer Plus H4). This lasted a day before breaking (both main and dipped). I have of course been ultra careful when fitting them to not touch the glass etc. Fitted a 3rd bulb and will see what happens, Is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks.

This is a duplicate post - I also posted in my build thread but I wanted to put it up here too and report as time goes on if this stuff actually works or not. Did the "Engine Restore" treatment to the bike today. She goes through about half a quart of oil every 200kms...which is pretty excessive, and I don't really want to tear the engine apart to do rings or anything but if I have to I will....but I figured I'd give this stuff a shot first. I followed the instructions for wet-clutch 4 stroke motorcycles, which I have...and that was: Pull all 4spark plugs Used a turkey baster to insert about a teaspoon of "Engine Restore" into the spark plug holes Put the…

Hi all, Not sure if anyone can help but here goes anyway, I recently had problems with my meta M53T disabling my bike (just as I was 100yds from home - lucky) , I want to remove this and put a new datatool S4, however I cannot find the information required to remove the Meta. I have found and traced all the connections, the bike will turn over but no HT, I have also fitted the new alarm ready but not much use without knowing which of the 9 all black yamaha wires need to be bridged to regain the spark. Hope fully someone out there can help either by forum or PM as i go back away with work soon and i want to go for a ride around first.

Hey guys and gals! Just got a 1996 xj600s and I'm restoring it as a project. I was thinking of starting a blog about it all and posting what I was doing and how to sort through and clean it up etc. it's a non runner at the moment. Starts and runs on idle and choke, but will cut out as soon as you touch the accelorator. First though, problem in fuel pump/ carbs taken all this off and found a small hole in one of the diaphragms in the carb! Hoping this is the problem, anyway. Ordered a second hand set of carburetors and awaiting them to arrive. Checked fuel pump and fuel lines all running smoothly, so with any luck not much more work to do to get it up and running. Once it …

Hi, I am after FZX 750 carbs (diaphragms specifically but try to buy these new - £100 each!!! wtf??..). Does anyone know if there are any other bikes/models which would have compatible parts with FZX 750 '86? I don't seem to find the answer online. There aren't exactly many carbs flying around, but for example FZ 750 are plenty. Any ideas anyone please?? Thanks
