small hole in exhaust where the silencer is supposed to slip on.Unfortunately someone has tried to remove the silencer and has just messed it up and caused a small gap and now the exhaust is blowing and will fail next MOT.I have put silencer repair bandage round it but i'm not convinced it will pass next MOT like that. Took the bike to a local car repairer who is good at welding and he said if he welds it on its on permanent. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to whats the best thing to do.

Hi, I have recently bought an r125. I was filling it up for the first time today, and discovered that the filler lock is very stiff and 'sticky' feeling inside. It does not look on the outside as though it has been glued, but I guess I can't rule that out, does anyone have any advice on how to clean/lube the lock mechanism? TIA, Cameron

Have we narrowed down the choice of oils for the Thunderace? Ideally i could do with an oil which reduces the clutch grab and the oil consumption too. Money really isnt an obsticle so any oil can be bought. What does everyone reccomend?

hi, Does anyone have a workshop manual handy for a 1999 YZF R6 regards John

May be a dumb question. But on a sport bike in normal riding position where should the wind hit the rider when it comes off the windshield? My bike has a double bubble windshield and I thought it was great cause I can duck behind it real good but when I'm in normal riding position it hits me right in the face a drives me nuts. But someone told me you want the wind directed at your chest to apparently lift your weight off your seat a bit. Is this true?

I'm looking for opinions on the best tires for someone into extreme cornering. The people I ride with all swear by Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs. Any other suggstions?
