  4. Hi Everyone, Didnt really want to start the forum with a request for help but i'm kinda stuck on this... My XT600 was stolen from outside my house, so i brought the cheapet bike i could... Been a XJ600 from ebay 360 quid... But came to do the mirror repairs needed for a MOT and came across this problem that has thrown me completely: My XJ600 wont run in netrual if the side stand is down... Keep the clutch pulled and it'll run, let go and it stops, with the stand down... Side Stand up and it'll sit in netrual no probles... The Netrual light is on in netrual and goes off in gear.

    Hi All I've just picked up a 1980 XS650 US Custom that needs just a bit of TLC!!!! It's not my first Yamaha as back in the 80's I had what was possibly the first LC250 in England as I never did see another on a V plate, other than that I've had quite a few other bikes of Japanese, British and European origin and even a Russian one!!!! As for the old geezer bit at the top I've had bikes ever since I got my first licence back when Slade, Mott the Hoople and T Rex were in the charts so you can work that out for yourselves

    Hey guys, Just treated myself to my first cruiser....a 1991 Yamaha XV535 Virago.....matte black in colour and in need of TLC but I wanted a project that I could put my own stamp on while also commuting to work each day...and with this beauty, job done! Previously I'd been a sports bike man (Ducati's etc) but have fell in love with Harley's recently..due to family committments I could afford the £4k for a Harley so decided to try a cheaper cruizer and shelled out £775 for my Virago. I'm having a few issue with it starting in the morning.....the first two days I had it it was open to the elements and chose not to start after getting wet.....after getting home from …

    Hi all, Im looking for some advise, ive recently bought a 2003 Xt600e, the bike is great, however, i would feel a little more comfortable if the bike was a little lower. Does anyone know of anyway of lowering the bike apart from looking for boots with bigger soles. Many thanks, Mark.
