Hi, new to site, haven't owned a small bike for a long time!! I have just bought an XT125r for a bit of cheap and cheerful commuting (small 4 stroke trail style = easy to ride, frugal etc) as my last bike was not for the job (ZX6R). Anyway, I have not been able to get hold of a wiring diagram for it. It is too new a model for there to be a haynes manual. Can anybody out there help? Enjoy the biking everybody!!! Many Thanks Dan

i have unbolted the top mounting but the with the bottom mounting i have removed the split pin and tryed taping out the pin to remove the suspension but it will not move even when i have used wd40 on it can anyone give my any advice please

Does anyone happen to know the wiring pattern for the 2 plugs in the cdi, 86,87 model. Looked everywhere for info but nothing for the 400, the 600 has a different CDI. Just bought a non runner as a winter hack and the plugs are missing, many thanks.

Hi, I want to repaint my Fazer 600 2003 top yoke as the ignition key has marked the satin black finish. I have removed it from the forks with no problem. Can anyone tell me how to separate the top yoke from the ignition switch assembly? There appears to be two bolts which screw in from underneath, which have some sort of tamper proof cap inserted fitted. There are also two small plastic caps near the top. Removing these reveals inacessible nuts. Thanks, Dave

Hi, I'm trying to buy a DT-R125. Probably a 2000 model (limlited budget). Is there any technical / mechanical issues I should look out for? Thanks Steve

This is my first road legal machine, and i havent treated it in the best of ways like i should have.. but it was bought from Garlands anbd Griffiths motorcycles in haverfordwest wales, i should have known something was up when they tried telling me my rpm guage was my fuel capacity, and my digi speedo never worked.. the foirst time i washed it the paint flew off the undertray, and this was with a hosepipe, not a pressure washer, oil leaked from the exhaust joint, the bolts vibrated loose and the headlights kept failing... and to top it all off, the headgaskets just decided to start leaking oil and start whistling at me, now, due to the fact i "neglected" it…

Hi there guys, When I bought my bike, the toolkit was missing (figures huh? it was second hand so I cant complain ...much!)

Cheers S

When riding my R1, sometimes at low or high speed there is a snatch in second gear only, is it a common fault or does it need a new gearbox? Any ideas?

Hi I have just bought a thundercat 1997 and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove the seat. Thanks

Hi all, iv got a 2001 R1 with a harris high rise race can fitted on it, but it still has the standard headers with the exup valve . I have seen some micron full race headers and link pipe for sale that i would like to buy, but im not sure my can would fit as it has a long link pipe on it (a kind of `S` bend that harris do to make it a high rise) I was thinking of taking the exup valve out to save me buying race headers, would that make any differance? Has aynone taken the exup valve out of the bike, if so what differance did it make? My bike has been dyno jetted and has a K&N filter fitted, on a dyno run it made 151 bhp on the crank and 138 on the back wh…

Hello Just joined forum. Based in Ireland. I'm looking for some tuning advice please. Have a stock 01 R1. I want to give it some power gains. I wanted to get advise on the following: 1. Best method to beef up the spark, i.e. what coils? maybe taylor plug leads, iridium plugs?? 2. Change end can only, which would be loudest & give most bhp gain? 3. Want also to smooth out the throttle by fitting a dynojet kit + k & N filter, + of course dyno time to get it all running smootly. So in a nut shell, beef up the spark, add end can, fit dynojet kit + K&N filter. Any info greatly appreciated. Many thanks Spondon

Hi, I have just bought a 97 Diversion 900 and it didn't come with an owners manual, does anyone know the tyre recommended tyre pressures for this bike please?

I collected my 2005 FZR yesterday and as i was riding to work this morning the speedo and mileometer stopped working, the rev counter and everything else still apears to work. It was wet so i wondered if water may have got into it somewhere, any ideas? has this happened to anyone before? Thanks Ian oh and hi, i'm new, absolutely love my new FZ6 (except the above!)

I know I am a newbie here, but I was hoping you all could help me with a problem I am having with my 85 BW200. The bike is great except for one minor problem with it not staying running. It will start and run, for a good 5-10 minutes, and then it will just shut off. I will then have to choke it again, and it will start and run again for another 5-10 minutes and then die. I recently just replaced all the cover gaskets, and cleaned out the carb, as there was some foam from the air filter, that got sucked into the carb. And it did not change anything. I am not sure what else is could be, any ideas. Please help me. Thank you in advance for all your help.
