Hello all, I just found out that my 2007 R6 is an USA import and it was meant to ve a UK bike i was told. Anyways not that i'm that bothered. Only way i found out is, i ordered new clear indicator lenses and they were the wrong size, when i called up the company they assured me they were for a 2007 R6 unless i had the US version that came with bigger indicators. So my QUESTION is.... is there anymore differences in these bikes? or are all the parts the same? i want to buy a stubby exhaust from the UK i'm just scared there are some other differences. Thanks for your time.

Hi I have a 2002 SR 125 Custom I would like to know if the swingarm is the same on all SR 125 models

Ok, so I layed her down 2 months ago and bent the rear sub-frame. Now I starting a naked streetfighter project and want to cut off the rear sub-frame and custom fab a new solo/buell xb12 style seat. I know that building the subframe will be tricky but im more conserned about were the seat meets the tank, and if there are any seats out there(in that style) that will fit?. From what I have gathered I dont think that the buell seat will match up with the tank shape. If any one has any Ideas let me know, im having a hard time finding a seat that will fit and im trying to avoid making a whole new custom seat. Thanks!! Pics help... Any One?

I have a 05 R6 and I am experiencing front end shake starting around 90 mph. The handlebars seem to be shaking side to side and not up and down. I thought it could have been the front tire so I had a new tire installed and it is still shaking. On my old f4i it wouldn't shake this way at all, evn when i reached around 150 mph. Please help me out with any ideas that you can think of because i need to correct this problem asap. Thank you very much.

i have a 1995 yamaha yzf750r, i have taken off the head to do the valve stem seals i put it back together with it timed up to the marks and i couldnt get to run so i moved the timing 180 degrees (thought i might have timed it wrong) and it run ok when cold but when i tried to ride it wouldnt run and when restarted wouldnt rev past 1500 rpm once it cooled down i restarted it and it sat and ticked over fine for half an hour or so (reved up fine) then i tried to ride and it died again then when restarted it repeated the previous symptoms what do you think the problem is ? thanks in advance

Hi This is my first post. I'm a Triumph rider and know little about Yamahas but my wife has spotted a Fazer 600 for sale in a local bike shop. It on an 02 plate and has 15,000 miles on the clock. I looks very clean and well looked after. It is Datataggged and has a Scottoiler fitted. She has a test ride booked for tomorrow and I need to know if there is anything in particular that I need to look for. There is a load of reciepts for servicing, tyres etc. Also My wife will need it restricted to 33BHP. Does the bike take well to that?

Bought the bike at a swap meet titled and safety. The mechanic must have been blind because the swingarm, chain and sprockets would not have passed safety. I haven't worked on this type of bike before so I am unfamiliar with the set up. Reading the manual it talks about a thrust bearing that is used to take up the space to get the right clearance on the swingarm and it looks like the people we bought it from has welded it to the frame. I'm not sure if this is the case or if the welds are factory. Has anyone come across this? Thanks Jay

Hi, Having problems with my YBR Lights. Main Beam works perfectly but headlight has an intermittent fault which make the light appear to flash, checked the bulb and connections as best i can and cleaned the terminals. Doesn't happen all the time which makes it even more frustrating, local garage say they can't find any thing wrong. Anybody else had these issues and can you help resolve the problems Cheers

I have an old battery that is completely dead, if anything it drains electric like a black hole.... anyways- I called NAPA Auto Parts yesterday, and they said that if i bought a new battery off the internet and it shipped "dry" with no electrolyte and no charge that they could get it ready to go for a small fee ($5.00). But then I was Thinking, if they can do that, why wouldn't they be able to recharge and refill my old battery? I have not talked to them yet because it was after hours yesterday when i thought of it, and today must be some kind of NAPA holiday or something... IS it worth it to buy the new one? The old one isn't physically damaged on the outside or anyth…

Hi Guys me again I'm Havin chain problems with my YBR. It keeps going slack. I posted reciently about false neutrals can these be caused by slack chains? I was out tonight practicing hill starts, stalled a couple of times (real good ones) then started getting false neutrals. The bike started sounding gruffer. I checked the chain its slacker than before I left, Its almost like the stalls slackened the chain! Anyway I'm going to have a go at adjusting it, I have the manual (and no machanical experiance) but there is a nut that is baffeling me. Its the brake torque rod nut which has a pin through it. What's that all about and what do I do with it? I think Im runnin…

I have been rebuilding an 1988 FZ600 ( with Mikuni Round Slide type carburettors) from the oil pan up (not literally) and have gotten to the carbs along with other persisting problems. I have yet to properly synchronize them due to the inability to buy one of the manometer things, and i haven't gotten around to loading the bulky bike in my truck and hauling it to the shop to have them do it yet. But in my limited understanding, the carbs should have a good cleaning after sitting for god knows how many years, (probably it's entire lifespan). I pulled the suckers off (gently and meticulously) and prepared a clean workspace (family members want to kill me for dripping gas a…
