Hello again, just asking how many of you on this site use the following please,wheel balancer/bead breaker as not sure weather to get a pair or not to save on money in the long run or to do some tyres changes myself.not really sure as looking for information and thanks to all who reply.

Total n00b question here... i am looking to make some changes to my bike and i was wondering if you guys could help me.... I see a bunch of bikes with what seems like a stripe of color that runs around the inside part of the bike's tires... is taht part of a rim that i would have to buy or is taht apart of the tires taht i would have to buy.,.. or (and this is what im hoping) is it just an accessory i can buy and apply to any tire/rim.... thanks in advance

Hey all, was thinking of putting some rim stripes on my R6 but was undecided on a colour. The bike is blue and white so obviously its gotta be one of these colours for the rim stripes. Im leaning towards white !! what say you? Bike pics here:- http://aolpictures.aol.co.uk/ap/viewHoo.do...color=%23000000 Cheers all, go away rain !!!

Hey all, this question has been floating round me head for a while, i realy struggle to get my front wheel up (01 yzf r1) when i bought the bike the forks had been raised through the yokes, of the top of my head by mabey 20-25mm, would this change in geomitry afect the bikes willingness to come up? The chances are this is my crazy imagination, but if anyone has either experience or a clue on the matter it would be good to have a chat Thanks Sam

HI ALL. IM QUITE NEW TO BIKING AND WAS WONDERING HOW DO YOU PERFORM WHEELIES??? I RIDE A YAMAHA FZ600, DOES IT NEED TO BE POWERFULL, OR IS IT JUST TECHNIQUE? SOMETIMES IT JUMPS UP, BUT THEN DROPS STRAIGHT BACK DOWN. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Are YZF 750 Front wheels the same as any other models in the range? :?:

Does anyone want a pair of original fzr 600 wheels. Both with half decent tyres. Original 18 inch rear and 17 inch front. I'd like to try and swap them for a 17 inch thundercat or similar rear wheel. As I want to fit the hike with a Thundercat or fzr 1000 swing arm so I can have a wider 17 inch rear tyre. Thanks for you time Regards Dan

Hi All, i recently bought a YBR 125 and have just found that the front and rear wheel are not aligned properly. the rear wheel is ok, however the front seems to be over to the left slightly. i know the bike has been involved in a slight accident, but being a category C i thought that it would be straight. from what i have read, it should be fairly simple to fix this by slackening both of the fork clamps at the top and pulling everything straight then re-tightening. is it really this simple to fix or are there other things i should be considering too? i havent had a go at the forks yet, will do it tonight, but if anyone has any ideas on what else i should be lookin…

Hi! Am planning on getting a yamaha fz6 fazer but want one with abs, does anybody know when abs became an option on this bike? Also the s2, which I think was available from 07, is it worth paying that bit extra for one? Cheers Smiler Am having a problem searching on this site, anybody else had that problem?

As per my previous post, I am looking to buy a Yamaha YZF600 Thundercat. However where are the Chassis and Engine numbers on this bike? Need to know so that when I go to buy the bike that I want, I can check quickly on the bike and check with the V5 document. Many thanks Kevin

I have been trying to find a rear spray deflector for an MT-01. They used to be in the accessories brochure a few years back. Cheers Kev

Can anybody recommend a good website to find double bubble screen for my FZ6 2004. Looked everywhere but just can't find one to fit 2004 model.

Hi! Any good idea where to buy a new or demo Vmax for a good price? My 1998 Vmax should finally get a break! Here in Europe they are horribly expensive? Merry Christmas! Mike circus-vmaximus.com

Hey guys where do you buy your decals, I'm currently searching for 2 Yamaha stickers about 14'' each. That'd be great if I could buy those from a desing shop online, who need to pay for original stickers at double the price of a design shop! Thanks BeerBaron

Any one got any ideas? went into my local dealer but they said that its to old now to get one form yamaha (2010 model) powerbronze has one but its nae the nicest looking one, and its not a colour one like the genuine accessory would be :/ really want one .... Thanks, Matt

Hi, I've just got a YBR-125 Custom and there's some scuffing on the chrome trim on the exhaaust. It looks like quite a cheap bit to replace, but I can't find anywhere that does parts. Any ideas? I've googled, but no luck. Cheers, Graham

I want to get a tad less rpms when on the HWY at 80mph, anyone know where I can get either gear at to lower rpms/get a tad more top speed?

Hi all.... can anyone reccomend the best chain lube. also is there a product out there that will protect bikes from the effects of salt and dirt when riding through the winter... cheers,

These are US colors and hence don't look as good as some of the eurospec models.

Hi folks, I want to replace the standard exhaust on my FZ1-N for something with a nicer note I want something street legal and carbon (the bike is black and the carbon will look good). I've seen photos of other bikes with Scorpion, Beowulf and Yoshi cans and all look good, but which would you recommend and why?
