Hey guys, I want to take my 98 diversion and turn it into a cafe racer style ride. I have removed to fairing and notice there is a lot of stuff nicely hidden by it, and I have no idea what it all is and ho to reroute it all. can anyone suggest where to start?

Just picked up a fazer fz6. Had to drive 2and a half hours the other side of the country to get it bit the 2hour spin home was well worth it After having the 2000 & 2002 fazer this is the 2004 model and i am well impressed of how it drives and handles Bring on the good weather !!

hey people im toying with the idea of tidying up the rear end of my dt, ive changed indicators to smaller clear lense bulb indicators which has cleaned up the look of the front end but im still not happy with the rear light/plate hanger... anyone point me in the right direction as to what to look for? either an all in one unit or a small led light and tail tidy bracket? as my rear mudgaurd has the light underneith im thinking maybe i could get away with a thin led strip light hopefully with built in numberplate lights. the look im after is basicly to pull all the rear componants up as close to the rear mudgaurd as i can, none of this bulky plastic stuffshowing. …

Wonder if anyone might be able to help. This morning I switched my Sr125 to the reserve, it was very tight and wanted to know for sure it worked before I ran out. Got it moved round and then put it back. Went back out to the bike half hour later and found it had leaked. There is a fuel pipe on the opposite side which doesn't appear to go to anything, this is where it has leaked from. Could this be a bleeder pipe or overflow? Or could this point at a good reason not to use the reserve? The patch of petrol is only about 6 or 7" and doesn't appear to be leaking now its not turned to reserve.

Hello all, i'm after a XJ750 maxim seat cover, the only place if can find one is in the states and its going to cost a fortune.. otherwise i have found someone local who can make one up for £100 which is also too much.. does anyone know where i might be able to get hold of one? thanks all

when i bought my xs400 in 1982 I ran it on 4 star petrol or even 2 star if money was low. since I put her back on the road last year iv'e been using lead replacement additive by redex but finding it harder to find lately iv'e seen something on ebay that looks like three lead weights in some chicken wire, that you just drop in the tank, has anyone else used one and do they work. still got to refurb tank so meantime still using redex. but would appreciate any info thanks..

ok if its someone on here i feel guilty..... Xt 125 got a bit ahead of themselves today. Couldnt be arse to play chase after 400mile in the truck. Not to mention using my baby in these awful conditions. Well the next turn they did it again. Im assuming they thought it was another 125. So once the road straightend a little i made like the starship enterprise. Warp 6 mr sulu. Still feel guilty though.

Hi, I have not been biking long, motorbiking that is I have had a push bike for a while, but I have already come across a lot of negative reaction to motorbikes. Is this normal and how do people deal with it? For example people will comment quite freely 'oh you've got a motorbike have you? Death trap.' 'Death trap' seems to be a favourite phrase.... Or I hear comments like, 'oh you are on a bike, you will be under a lorry on your way home.' These are not family members or friends, just random people who stop and pass judgement?? It's not like I have asked for their opinion or anything. Bizarre. Totally bizarre. Like f, you. Do I walk past a chip shop and say to s…

Hi everyone, planning a camping trip soon, not done camping on bike before, need camping list ideas iv'e done a list but could do with some suggestions i'm limited on space & weight obviously, but looking at my list can't help thinking iv'e missed something

I have just been reading about ETHANOL fuel additives and the fact that we will soon have 10% instead of 5% in the UK, what seems to be the main consensus to all of this is that most old bikes (10 years old and older) will have some problems with this new fuel, my bike is 30+ years old and will need some major fettling to get used to this nasty gunk. First seems to be any bike with a fibre glass tank must use some of the new tank sealer now available, some of you might have already sealed your tank but if you have used anything from the last 5 years it will not protect your tank with this new stuff as it eats away even some older tank sealant then starts on the tank itsel…

I was just given a 1979 Yamaha sx 750 special and I am wanting to know how many gears and how many up and how many down. I need to check to see if it is in neutral since the back tire will not roll

Got the 83 Seca900 home today and my have my work cut out for me. Petcock is missing altogether, are these generic with 650 750 etc. look the same, bolt holes 45mm apart. I need to clean tank, change oil/filter, install a petcock then I'll see if this beast is worth keeping. Looks like a project.

Hi I have just joined here and in desperation am trying to find a scource in the UK for the idiot bulbs (main beam, oil, ABS and management light bulbs) for a 2003 gen1 FJR1300 part no 4WM-83517-10 BULB (T3.4 14V-80MA) . I would really appreciate any useful answers as to where I could purchase 8 of them. I have managed to get the front nose fairing off but struggling to scource the bulbs? Many Thanks Dave

Quick question that some of you might know the answer to. Will the rear disc of a TZR 125R/4DL fit a 125L need on to finish off my latest project but can only find second hand ones of different bikes. Thanks in advance
