The Bar

Ok just for those that don't know, bought myself an FJ1200 a couple of weeks ago and I am in the process of tearing it down and refurbing it. So far I have 4 sheared bolts that the PO has kindly left me and now I have added 2 more in the stripping process, they all are sitting flush to the various mounts and things so nothing to grab hold of and was trying to think of the best way to get the buggers out, remember these are as rusty as F**K so they are not going to come out easy, thought that I might cut them with a slot with the Dremel and use some heat and plus gas to get them softened up but other than that open to suggestions. I have a welder so could try welding a bol…

So, I was given some advice to pick up a copy of "Twist of the Wrist II" - I have to say, it's one of the most informative and inspiring books about riding I've ever read! The way the book is written really speaks to you...it makes you go "oh shit, THAT'S WHY!!!" a lot...or at least, it did for me. I personally can't wait until springtime to try out all of the new techniques I've learned, like pivot steering (using your body as active suspension), keeping your arms bent (for more control), giving smooth and constant increasing throttle through a turn (for faster and safer turns), giving throttle in a turn as soon as possible (to transfer weight to the back tire for more…

Think I'll be adding this bike to the top of my list. The 2014 MT-09 Street Rally looks pretty good too but I don't think I'm ready for it just yet .

Title says it all Thanks in advance!

Possibly looking to purchase a fly screen/wind deflector or what ever else you want to call it for my xj6n Now at the best part of a hundred quid they ain't cheap so do they actually help as in deflect the wind off you,make high speed more bearable or are they just there to look pretty?

Hi guys & gals (if there are any) Wonder if any one can shed any light on this I bought my bike a month or to ago but Over the last few weeks my gears have become very stiff and hard to change, clutch is fine, chain oiled and adjusted correctly, could this be bad oil or possibly something worse?

Out early......destination was the Castle in Vélez-Blanco, Almeria! Riding through Orce.......and then onto Maria crossing into the province of Almeria from Granada! Parked up at the foot of the Castle....I was the only one there! And here it is in the background! Now here's the story of the Castle itself! Culture Alert! Castillo de Vélez-Blanco is located in the municipality of Vélez-Blanco, province of Almería, in the autonomous community of Andalucia, Spain. It was built by Governor of Murcia, Pedro Fajardo, 1st Marquis of los Vélez, following his appointment as Marqués. He set the headquarters of his new dominion by undertaking the constructi…

bit of a silly question, do i put uleaded fuel in my rs200 or is there an additive i need besides 2 stroke oil ?

Thought this was nice pic of the RD and a friend`s 2014 Kawa Z1400 at the beach for breakfast. That 1400 spitting out 208hp..around the same as a new Golf GTI, after he fitted aftermarket exhausts and power commander(every gear feels like first gear).

Well folks that day finally came and betty has been sold. Had a final ride with her this morning for a few hours and i know she is just a bike but my god was it emotional! The guy who now owns her even said that he felt sorry for me as he could see how much i loved her. Hey ho, deposit is paid on the new bike which will be here on friday or Thursday so watch out for the new project thread coming up......its gunna be good!!!!!

While I love my bike maybe its time for something new, I've been looking at the xvs 1300 custom but can't make up my mind, decisions decisions

Is Malibu and coke a girls drink? ive had quite a bit and it definatley works

After rebuilding my Genesis, I am now at the point where I am ready to start making her look pretty. Although the FZR600 is/was a fairly common bike, im seeing fewer and fewer parts for them, and lately simple things like a "clutch return spring" I had to get from a main dealership. So my next question is this really...... should I be looking to get a new full set of plastics, or just get the old ones repaired..... and where the HELL can I get a replacement set of pipes where they have the balancer's at the back of the Header down pipes? Side note, I am getting pretty annoyed with all the damn shops that keep asking me if its an EXUC...... or then telling me the eng…

The struggle keeps on going, been in contact with the DMV in Wisconsin to see if they had any history on the chop but their records are only kept for about 5 years and my frame number (custom made up one) wasn't found on their database so where un able to help further. So i thought to try the DVLA and see what i could get to gain this age related plate to which they came back with: The following documents are acceptable to allocate an age related mark to an American imported vehicle that is presented for registration: • Certificate of Origin • Certificate of Title • Certificate of Sale • Certificate of Lien Sale Do any of you know of how i can get one of those? All i ha…
