hi all, new to this site, recently purchased a 1988 rxs 100 after passing my cbt, it needed a few things doing but was told it was a runner, however, won't start off the kick. its got good spark and compression. tried to bump start but just made angry growling noises, took the spark out and it was dry as a bone, poured some petrol down the spark plug whole, refited the spark plug and tried to bump her again, this time fired up but then quickly died, tried the same again several times, came to the conclusion that it must have blocked jets in the carb. so stripped down the carb, checked all the jets and needles, all seem ok and in good condition. re-asembled the carb, set…

Well, I figured I'd come say hello! My (albeit short) story; I'm a new biker, bought a brand new '11 YBR125 last month and I'm loving it to bits! Hopefully I'll get another year from it before I itch for something bigger (suppressing it is going well) - I figure I'd wait until I'm 21 to move on. I'm here to meet people, have some laughs and learn from the vets! Peace.

So hello one and all I have very recently purchased a 1998 Silver and Yellow TDM http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2648 With the help of Alec1 (who I believe is a member on here) we picked it up last week.(the one on the right, alec1's is on the left) And here on the left (alec1's is on the right) It's rear shock is quite nackered but fortunalty, a member form here has sold me a Mark1 shock to replace it :-) The guy I bought the bike from said he'd had it sat in the garage for 6 months since he bought it from a TDM enthusiast. did't mention it had been over on the ebay advert did he (yes I still bought it) Well I've …

Hello people, I've been lurking on the site for a month or so looking at threads and thought it was time to sign up and show my face. At the grand age of 32 I've finally decided to give 2 wheels a go and recently took my CBT. I'm now pottering around on a 2001 XVS125 Dragstar and I'm absolutely loving it! I'm sure that I'll have many silly questions as time goes on as I've always previously been car man. /Steve

Hallo Folks I own a Virago VX535 and it's a wonderful bike. Winter is here though so I'm bracing myself for the weather. I'm fairly new to the biking world, having had my licence since 1990 I spent many years without Transport. I bought the Virago in May. Look forward to reading your posts and taking in your experience and knowledge. Cheers Dave

Hi folks, recently sold the R1, It was killing my wrists leaning over the tank all the time, (im not 20yrs old any more). So, i`v got myself a xvs 1100, 24000 on the clock, 2 lady owners, and a custom airbrush job on the tank, (which has got to go) its not really a guys thing, but it is very well done and it seems a pity to spray over it, i will try to upload a pic. If there are any lady bikers out there with the same bike who would like to swap tanks, I don't mind if its all black or black and red like mine, anyway enough of this, I road this bike from gloucester (where i live) to the Ace cafe in London then on to Brighton ( 2011 Brighton burn-up ) wat a change from t…

Hi all! How is everyone? I need some help please!!! I have a Yamaha YBR 125 55 plate. I went out on her tonight and everything was fine until on the return journey home, i tried to put her into fourth gear and she just wasn't clicking in. So i reduced her speed and put her into second gear fine and then back up into third but when i tried again to put her in fourth it wouldn't go in. I have managed to get home safely and she is going down gears fine and into neutral but will not click into fourth. Can any one help to shed some light on this problem and how i may go about fixing it please. Many Thanks Sianny
