watch it...only decent thing on tv atm

I have a 2006 R6. The key is giving me trouble, and I suspect a faulty ignition barrel. Sometimes wiggling the wire at the back of the ignition works; sometimes it doesn't. This is a UK bike with an imobiliser. Can I change just the ignition barrel or do I have to change the Ignition, ECU, Petrol Cap, and Seat Lock? Will the required parts from any other year fit the 06?

Hi all, The handle bar on the Tenere got bent and I don't own the shop manual at the mo. I'm trying to find a suitable handle bar but the ones I can find have different sizes. I suppose 80cm ones are the right ones. Any suggestions on what to use? TIA and cheers, Hakan

How much of a headache is it to change the front caliper seals on a 1990 yz250?

Sorry guys and gals. Posted previously, but seems to have been deleted. Northern Californian seeking '90 YZ 250. Owned 2 in '90. Very fav MXer I've ever had. Figure this being a Yamaha site that someone knows someone with one they may want to part with. Contact [email protected] if anyone knows. Thanks to the one person that contacted me originally. I do NOT check my site often; once a week at best, so please be patient. Thanks everyone!

Hi all probably seems like a stupid question but, what do i oil my new airfilter with on an XT350, i don't have any filter oil so can i use something else?? Second question about same bike, I've seen a couple of supermoto XT350's and one used a set of Excel type rims, can any 17" rim with the right number of spokes be laced onto an original hub? If i do this I'll probably just use a standard rear rim. cheers guys

Hi, Has any got a rear Mudguard for RD50M they want to sell ?

My brother was riding his pushbike home the other week, and see's an old motorbike frame and motor off the side of the road. He gets me all excited with the prospect of some great find as he wasnt sure if it was a DT1, a RT1 or something. So he went back for it later to get it home to find out its a HT1. So I search for it and discover it to be an early 90cc Enduro. Might be a prospective project or a parts swap. Anyone here got one of these? I dont know much about the early models.

Hi all I work as a photographer on MCN & I've just been given a 2008 Tenere as my long term ride. Part of the deal of having a long termer is to try & create a reader based forum to exchange views & ideas on various bike related subjects such as upcoming events & rideouts as well as more technical aspects of being a Yamaha owner... I would really appreciate some feedback regarding what it's like owning the new Tenere & if possible , come along on some rideouts... if this is feasible , then please contact me via the forum. I look forward to hearing from you . I'm based in Buckinghamshire UK. thanks.
