Hi, Just brought a 1995 XJ600n as my first big bike after passing my Direct access. unfortunatly it didnt come with a manual and been having trouble locating one. Anyway my problem was that the other day I ran out of fuel on it, and found to my error that i hadnt any reserve tank on it. Can any one help by telling me with position i turn my fuel switch to for off, main tank and reserve. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers from rob

All, I know I shouldnt be asking for encouragement with this BUT me and my best mate who rides an S plate GSXR600(yes I know dont insult it lol) have been taking a bit of footage of each other riding, nothing spectacular but because I have quite an expensive digital camera he wants to get a shot of us both popping a wheelie, not one of those 30 second ones you see on clips but just enough for a decent photo of us both with the front wheel in the air. My question is this, I cannot seem to get the front end up on my FZR600R at all, at least not using the technique that he uses. I appreciate that I am an unexperienced rider though. His technique is to ride along in 1s…

Hi, I have a f reg FZR600 3he with a 4jh thundercat motor fitted. Decided to keep it but looking for fairing options. Has anyone retro fitted r6? r1? or any other make onto this bike?????? Looking for some one whos done the legwork and made the mistakes Any help would be great Cheers Simon

hey guys. i got a 81 SR250 exciter the guy i bought it from did a makeshift job of fixing his cam shaft problem by just slaping a screw to keep the cam sprocket in place. and i learned the hardway about this cuz that lil screw flew off anyways was wondering if anyone know of a larger engine that'll fit into this frame i really like the bike but since this happened i have a choice of fixing it or slapping something bigger in. if anyone has any info lemme know thanx mike

well i fitted some new exhausts to my dads XT660X that came with the bike they are made buy quill and sound awsome the problem is its so lumpy and chuggy its almost kicking the bike all over the place the bike also has a K&N filter on it and thats all thats been done to it what could be the problem im thinking it could be the CO2 sensor not leting the bike get the fule it need lower down the range so i could remove some of the limmit in the diag menu does any one have any advice sort of disapointing that my dads up set that his bike dont work

Hi guys,does anyone know weather you can pull the oil seal out behind the gear shift and replace it without having to open her up,also she seems a bit tappety on the top left hand side,is it a difficult job to do the valve clearences as i have never done any before. Thanks,Shaun

HI! Can anyone help?! Earlier today my friends 2001 R1 fell off the front paddock stand and this resulted in bad scratches and a couple of dents to the patrol tank. Amazingly the rest of the bike has got away scratch free but the tank will need replacing. Does anyone know where there may be a red/white tank in very good conditoin (to match the rest of the bike)? Any suggestions welcomed! Cheers! Whipper263

I have very roughly edited the colours on my wheels to try and help me decide what to go for??? It is difficult because the whole bike is Black! Your opinions please!!! - - - Cheers Peeps!

HELP?

Been out on my 2000 R6 earlier today, all was well untill i started giving it some grief then it just lost power and was spluttering sounding like a twin and cutting out when i was stopped i also noticed that the temp was lower than usual..... i stopped the bike left for a bit then when i got back on it was okay then just kept happening every now and then!!! Does anyone have a clue what it could be?? It seems like plugs so will try that tomorrow!! Any help would be much appreciated!! Paul

Hi all,need a manual or even owners handbook for 1982 xj400,been all over the internet,found no listings at all!!!! maybe its the same engine as the xj55o?anyone help? Cheers Buzz

There hasn't been a motorcycle in our garage for years now, but had it not been for an RD350 and it's successor , an RD400, there may never have been an "our garage". I am trying to put together a visual and audio collage of my Son's Dad's , and to some extent , my own life before he was born - or more specifically, when we were his age..........it will not be complete without the sound of a 2-stroke starting up and then accelerting away at an inordinately high speed...sigh.....those were the days. I have only found one file on the internet thus far and started thinking of where I might have more luck in finding the noise I am in search of. It seemed like this m…

Hi all! New poster here, only just found out this place existed. Have been enjoying a R3 for years. So as you may be familiar, the MT07 comes in restricted and derestricted versions. In AUS it's the MT07LAMS vs MT07HO. Slightly lower capacity in CC's, throttle stop, internal air intake restrictions. Imagine my surprise when I stepped up from a R3 to a MT07HO today, and it felt around 30% faster. much torquer, but a little choking in the top end, vs the expected balls tearing 2x as much power to redline experience, then looked at my throttle stop. Can anyone confirm my suspicions from this image? Also of note, no HO branding/stickers anywhere.

Hi, joined today and now saying hello! I'm in Essex, England and ride a midnight warrior and also just got a good deal on a new purple MT01 - love these big v-twins. Can't wait 'til the MT is run in - I part-exed a Triumph S3 and was a bit sad to see it go. Not anymore!!! Cheers, Hedge.

Hey folks, I'm a hardened commuter cyclist of 8 years but I decided I needed more range and power so I took my CBT and the rest, they say, is history... I've been riding my shiny new (well second hand with 500 miles on the clock) black 2005 YBR125 around for a few weeks now. Thoroughly enjoying it but on the fast A roads at around 50-60mph I'm getting battered by the wind and the bike is feeling a little unstable. From what I've read I could really benefit with a fly screen but alas I can't find one to buy anywhere! Does anyone know where I can get one or if indeed they have one for sale? Are there any compatible screens out their either? Warm regards, …

Hi all Just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name is John (AKA Jay), live in Cumbernauld outside Glasgow and I'm 21 years old. For the last 4 years I've been totally into my cars, had 7 in 4 yrs and love the high end cars, BMW's & Audi's. (Driving an A3 just now). I'm starting to look past all that and have done ever since my mate got me into bikes. My mate has an old GSX-R600 and he took me out on it, we also went to the MCN show in Edinburgh and ever since then I've been hooked on bikes. A while back I passed my CBT and my Theory test. At that time my wallet couldn't stretch as far as moving straight to DAS for the big bikes b…
