  1. i have cleaned the crap out of carbs, haha literaly, I saved the crap in a bucket if anyone wants some. Still having problems though. On the slow jet should i be able to see down the middle of it, or just the 6 holes along the sides? Air seems to blow through, but I cant see through it.

  3. Hi all, I have a YZF R6 2000 model, 12k. I was riding on M25 in fast lane when the power suddenly died, almost as though someone had stopped the fuel getting through. I stopped and waited 5 mins and it started again. This happened again 20mins later. Rode it again 3 weeks later and the same thing happened. There was loads of fuel in it, and it still had a full battery so all the electrical power was there, just a lack of fuel sensation. Can anyone help me please. Thanks in advance

  12. Hi everyone. I just started riding about a month ago and bought myself a 1994 FZR600R with about 16k miles (as a starter bike). Everything has been fine up until today when I noticed that my bike stalls eveytime I turn the handlebars HARD right. It happens when I'm getting ready to back up into a parking spot, or when pulling out of a parking spot, or trying to make a U-turn. Turning the handlebars hard left does not stall the bike. I want to get this fixed ASAP because I'm scared to ride it now. What if it stalls when I'm turning faster? Again, I'm new to bikes so please go easy on me. So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!

    Hi there, I recently got a 1987 (i think) YB100 for free. And apart from some minor wear and some missing parts, it was pretty much all there. I am however missing some parts that are essential. Does anyone know if the following parts from a FS1E would be ok in the YB100? I can get parts for the FS1E a lot easier, and I am finding difficulties in getting the required ones for the yb100. The fuel tap. I can get a fs1e 12mm tap. The brake rod. Are they pretty generic just dependant on length and diameter? Springs for the centre stand, brake pedal and back brake switch? As you may realise, this is my first bike and im tackling everthing on it myself. All this befo…

    for me "originality" derives from the word "origin" isnt?therefore its originality came from the factory design regardless of how many they are...so from my understanding when you modify your bike to make it different from others, that makes it "unique".. ok you can call it your "own design" because you made your own but the original design of it, is the "factory design" and you just changed it to your own... you are changing its looks,its "originality"to make it "unique"..thats how i call it..

    Hi all, I have finally got my 1981 TR1 back together (almost) the wiring loom is on the floor but connected(!) when i try and start the bike it spits back through the rear cylinder carb hard enough to knock it out of its rubber socket!! I have checked the cam timing and the valve clearances, and these are fine, the carbs have been cleaned and appear to be fine (i'm no expert!) but it wont fire, I have spark, and have checked the HT leads are wired up correctly. Also the bike turns over quite slowly although the battery is the correct one, and new. Any help anyone could give me would be really appreciated!! Thanks in advance Andy.
