Please dont crucify me lads, but i've just bought some rim trims for the exup, i know it isnt exactly floppy ears but they do look cool red for the front and white for the rear

Greetings all! I recently picked up a new Roadliner, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I was exploring sidecar options to expand the riding experience (primarily w/ the dog), but it was hinted at by one manufacturer that the aluminum frame wouldn't work well with a sidecar. Any thoughts/experience with this?

Hey everyone! Just got hold of a 2000 R6 that has been rolled at cadwell pk. (see pics) Now im trying to rebuild it but parts are hard to find for the 5EB model. although there are lots of 5SL parts going cheap on ebay. Would these parts fit!? especially the rear end and subframe? Thanks Gaz Bell

Anyone seen the new M1 side exhaust on Rossi's Bike?

Hi everyone I have just bought a new 2005 R1 and I have to say that I am delighted with it. I was just wondering what everyones suggestions were for running it in. So far I have done around 100 miles and, as the manual recommends I have been doing my best to keep her below 7000rpm but I have heard conflicting opinions about wether its better to follow the manual or to use more of the rev range. Any opinions/advice would be greatfully received. Cobalt

Hi all I recently bought a 1991 RXS100 for using as a bit of fun. It starts 1st or 2nd kick even after a lay-up and sounds sweet when blipping the throttle at a standstill - no rattles - plug a tan colour. However, once out on the road, in any gear, as soon as the revs get above about 4500rpm (or even less), it starts to vibe quite badly, feeling really strained. You can feel the vibrations through the footrests and bars and it sounds "buzzy"... It does rev out - but it's unpleasant to ride. I wasn't expecting perfect smoothness from even a small single - but I can't imagine this is how it's meant to feel, or they wouldn't have sold so well! The only thin…

i am looking for a top box to fit an E reg RXS100 and dont know which type will fit or if i will need a mounting bracket. HELP PLEASE

Hey guys i'm new here and I just bought my first yamaha. I'm only 17 but i've had 6 or so mopeds and motorcycles since taking my CBT because I get bored and need variety. I bought a 1998 (or '97) RXS100 energy induction for £500 and I must say it's a piece of engineering brilliance. I won't be changing bike soon and it's put me off taking my test since it's got plenty of go for my use. It's so small and has great power for a 100cc. All these other kids ''looking like power rangers'' on their 'sports' mopeds havn't got a chance at the lights. But don't get me wrong i'm no irresponsible boy racer, and plan to keep the rxs as original as possible with no mods. 12 hp, 100cc…

Hi all. Can anyone help I am loosing oil from the gear box and i am seeing small puddles of oil around the side stand, what is likely to be the cause of the leak and how easy is it to fix? and can you tell me what oil goes in the box? Cheers, Nick.

Bonjour à tout le monde, Si quelqu'un a une expérience avec des paniers/sacoches latérales souples, pour YBR 125 2007, je serais content de vous lire. De plus, marque, prix, disponibilité etc. Le problème de comment protéger le tissu contre la chaleur du pot ? Voilà un lien pour résoudre le problème pour une Honda Varadero 125 : http://saccochescav.canalblog.com/ Et merci….

I want to get a nice pair of saddle bags for my 07 v-star 1100. Do I need to get the metal frames to go between the bags and the bike to keep the bags from getting into the rear wheels?

I am so crap at direction and get lost even in my own area.. can I get a Sat Nav that is battery powered and has a headset for audio? If there is more than one out there with this function.. what brand would be the best? Are there mounting systems for them so it's hands free?

At Ride on this morning, wtf is it with that head light it's fekn horrible!!, the rest of the bike's ok. All in all it's just a reshaped fazer. But what really got me was the new R1 with the pipe's coming out under the seat, :tu fekn ace!!. Now how can I get that yzf to look like that I wonder :-k

I've seen a scorpion exhaust on eBay but its for a 2005 bike. Will this Fit my 2008 s2? Cheers. Rob.

Has anyone fitted a Scotoiler to an 07-08 R1? If so where did you fit the reservoir? I'm thinking about just removing the toolkit and putting the reservoir in the space it leaves under the pillion seat. Any other suggestions?

I ride a 2004 R6 andI've just bought a scottoiler mark 7 and hcr with double injector off a mate. I know how to fit most of it but don't know which vacuum tube to cut to attach the oiler. any tips?

Does anyone know the seat height for a 400 special - 1981?

I've done it! I am PX my 1996 600 Diversion for a brand new 600 Fazer on Saturday. Can't wait. But does anyone know of any decent cut-down seat for one or any reputable companies who would cut down the original seat in the North West. I'm only 5ft 3 and its a little bit tall. OK to ride, but wouldn't want to drop it if I had to stop at a junction with an akward camber. Had a test ride yesterday and I loved it.

I don't have an owner's manual and hate to start yanking, but how does the driver's seat come off a 2007 V Star Custom? I asked at the Service Department and they didn't know!!!
