Hey, Finally got all the problems ironed out and have just lost all faith in this bike. What would you say is a fair price for it? Yamaha TZR50, 53 plate in blue. Fitted with a Polini 80cc Big Bore kit with Race Reeds to match, a full Arrow Race exhaust, After market air filter, Meta alarm system and immobiliser, Data tag(Between the alarm and the datatag it saved me £80-90 on insurance),tyres have plenty of tread in them. Had a top end rebuild 80 miles ago including replacement of the piston and top end gasket(I have the reciepts with a date to prove work). I changed the oil 2 days ago to fresh 2 stroke fully synthetic, Just cleaned the carb and fitted a fres…

i have a 1982 virago 750. and well when i bought it. it had aftermarket pipes and such. well i re-jeted the carbs for the pipes(last owners didn't). well even before the jet work it idled on one cyclinder(rear). well now that i jeted it it runs like poop and well since me and carb don't mix too well anymore i'm at a loss what to do. i check compression and the non-idling cyclinder has more compression the the one that does work. i checked for a valve being too tight. the intke valve was a tad too tight but not by much. if i mess with the syncronizing screw the front cyclinder starts to work a little but then the rear starts to die out. the after a few seconds the bike st…

Hi, Can anyone help...I've been offered a FZR 750 1988 for about £1500 (the exhaust is not original) and was wondering what they are like as bikes? I'm looking for a modern classic, but there doesn't seem to be many about, and most sites point you towards a gsxr 750 early model. Can you let me know whether they are particularly reliable, perform well and what I should look out for? Appreciate all your help andy

Hi all. Newby here from Kiwi land. I have an 85 RD350 F which I find upon inspection, has both expander rings broken into 3 or 4 bits. The bits were still intact in the lower scraper ring grooves (thank goodness) but I have to ask, are they needed? The piston and rings are sweet, so I don't need to replace, and I don't want to have to order 2 complete ring sets, just to get 2 x expander rings. I'm thinking I can leave them out. Any thoughts?

does anyone know if a cdi box from an 83 venture will work on an 85? have a chance to buy one to get my 85 running but dont want to get it if its not going to work.

I have to say I am a complete fool, this is my fist bike and I come off on my second time out I have managed to put a huge dent in the fuel tank on the left hand side even tho I went down on the right (I dont know how and I am sure it was not there, unless I had a real bad day and someone hit it during the night?) Apart from going to a dealer anyone know where I could get a new one? There are minor scratches to the mirror, front fender, front light and housing for the speedo/fuel/rev counter and bar end, any where I can also get these?? Any help and suggestions greatly received.

I have been reading that you can modify the sub frame of the 1997 thunderace to a 2004 tail. Is this true or can i just swap it for 2001 or something. If anyone has any pictures let me know where to find them so I can get a feel for how the bike might look.

Hi guys, Im thinking about changing the current set up on the rear of my bike as the previous owner fitted a cheapy tail tidy, and led rear light with integral indicators. These indicators are poop in daylight, so i was just wondering if any of you guys have pics/recommendations of tail tidy's/indicators that i should think about..shall i run standard indicators with a tail tidy, or go for some smalller ones?..I also have a query regarding the rear light-if i revert back to normal indicators, shall i just disconnect the led ones, or change the rear light back to the standard one? cheers, Paul.

Today i was at the petrol station and saw a R6 with what appeared to be a red bull can around this part of the bike..... can anyone tell me what this part actually does and why the guy had it done? it looked a bit odd, just wondering if it was safe to do it?
