Quick question, which is the correct NGK plug for a 1987 SRX 400, DPR7EA9 or DPR8EA9?

Hey guys! I was hopping I will not post very soon on this area but my bike have another opinion in last 3 days I found my battery empty every morning. the battery is new (2-3 weeks) and don`t have any problem before. the alarm don`t was activated so this is not the problem. all I change on the bike in last days was the GPS holder (is connected directly to battery but the GPS don`t was fitted. the holder was on repair under guarantee and I receive this back few days ago. also I can hear a continous strange sound every time I fit the GPS in the holder, the noises is amplified when the GPS is ON. is possible this holder to drain my battery in any way? any…

I've recently had the barrel rebored, head skimmed and a new piston fitted and was wondering how many miles I should do before I can take up the revs as at the moment I've done 200 miles and have been changing gear and 5000 rpm and not going over This is for a dt 125 r

Would a xt600 carb fit a xt550 Tried everything last resort Still having trouble with fuel starvation Cheers Beefy

So I'm looking to put bigger wheels on my dragstar with white wall tyres, but where do I start?? I've tried searching the net for motorcycle rims but I can't seem to find a dedicated site or something sayin "this rim will fit such and such bike"?? Tyres seem easy enough to get a hold of but if I want bigger weeks I'm assuming I have to get bigger rims? (As u can tell I'm a total novice when it comes to this sort of thing)

Hi all I have a serious problem that I need help with, I have only just turned 17 the other day and was the first time I had properly rode the bike anyway I came back the other day to find the swing arm chain guard everything at the rear of the bike Was soaked in anti freeze from the expansion chamber there's no signs of it leaking however within a matter of minutes of riding it I can look down and everything is soaked again anyone know the cause! Ihave stopped riding it now as I'm running out of anti freeze to keep topping it up

So I've decided to go for a 170cc big bore kit on my DT125re.. I assume i need to upjet but I don't know what size.. Anyone got any ideas?

I`ve been a bit of an idiot by deciding to shorten my XT250 chain. Grinded the pin flush with the link but after some coaxing with a hammer and sharp object, couldnt get the pin out to remove a link. After struggling with it just decided to fit the chain back on the bike, but am wondering how safe it is now.

Chaps, Duff bulb in the speedo. Is this a fairing off jobbie ? Not looking forward to that :-(

Hey All, I have a problem with my electrics / battery. Every time I do anything near the rear lights my battery drains flat. This time I was fitting a nice little rack to the back (fits to the same bolts as the lights). Rack fitted and went to start and it was dead. It's a new Varta Gel battery and was pretty much charged (a couple of weeks back). Sods law, I went to re-charge it and my charger was nacked so ordered up a new Oxford optimiser. This has happened a few times. Any ideas? Cheers.

I have an xt 550 1982 which is up and running but:- when you open it up it feels like its holding back and you get a back fire off it when you ease off had the carbs cleaned and checked had the valves checked some times it will run ok but the next time it is flat as shit any idea what to do next Cheers Beefy

Hi all, I've got a YBR 125 that I bought in the end of April. I've been using it for commuting about 25 miles everyday and it has done approximately 13,000 miles now. I've started to hear a slight ticking/clicking sound when I come off the throttle. It sound like it might be the chain but I'm not sure. I have cleaned and lubed the chain a couple of times since I got it. Any ideas? Thanks!

hi all thankz for all the help so far peepz much appreciated. well i took her out for a spin and she cut out on me i noticed the idle screw has fell out some where. ive replaced it off my old carb she starts and runs ok except at low rpm she bogs out and she wont idle for shxt. any help will be great please!!

Well after my much detailed rebuild of the engine and inability to get it going it now runs, quite well actually. But then...... Clank, it stopped, didn't sound good, kickstart jammed ! Took side casing off to discover that one of the clutch basket bolts had snapped in its sleeve, sleeve and bolt detached from basket !! It happened because the pressure plate wasn't seated properly and the whole plate would have been wobbling whilst spinning, something had to give. So I need a clutch basket now, anyone got one just lying around ? Cheers.

Damn output shaft oil seal has let go.... Damn thing, oil on my boots, my waterproofs the rear wheel. bodywork, right bloody mess, pressurised gearbox feed. Only good bit is ham have conveniently made it easy to change (so it must fail pretty regular) as the seal is held in with a circlip. Just got to track a new seal down. Hopefully off the shelf item.

Well I' m scared, the rebuild is finished after holing the piston last year, whilst its been off the road I've redone the paint work, painted the frame and loads of other little jobs, but I can't avoid it no longer I'm going to have to try and start it sooner or later ! A couple of things have me concerned though, how do I get oil from the oil tank to the carb, I.e. how do I bleed the pump ? I've got clear lines so I can see if oil is making its way up but at the moment theyre bone dry and there's no way I'm going to start it with no oil getting in there, would running premix for the first start up be OK ? I know these bikes are CDI but how do I know the timing is righ…

Hi I have a 1988 Route 66 xv250 and is leaking fuel some where around the carb and I put the bike in gear and mysterious fluid comes out the near the air filter and it does not have original air filter and the previous owner rebuilt the carb so Am I looking for something that may have been hooked up wrong ...

Hi everyone, I've read the chain thread that is pinned above, and I am happy tackling it. I have a garage with light and power to do the work, and plenty of tools - I could just do with tips on what tools are needed to swap everyting over? I'll consult the Haynes fairy story manual but I'd rather hear from someone who has done the job:) I've found a place that will do the chain and sprockets set for £40 delivered whichs sounds ok Any help gratefully appreciated. Cheers Ogwen
