  1. Very funny Drewpy Some people follow the guide in their owners manual, others do stuff like this My link At the end of the day, its your bike, its your choice how you go about it.
  2. Hid Headlight? How did that go? How much, whats it like? you get a really brighter light?
  3. That sounds a load of crap to me. Read your Manuel, it'll tell you a rev you shouldnt go about
  4. Why change something when it works perfectly fine the way it is?
  5. God your a lucky man. You'll have fun rebuilding that, it'll look the part once your done!

    XJ6 update

    just enjoy the bike mate, the xj6 is a beauty and when the weather comes, it'll be even better
  7. i'd go with mervin on this one. Insurance will be sky rocket, fully comp for my xj6 brand new was 1400 If your going to get a restricted licence get a smaller bike. It'll be enough to handle for two years, trade it in and then bite the jump. You'll be going from 15bhp to 33.3 bhp then something as much as 108 bhp. Look at getting an r6, your scratching off nearly three quarters of its grunt.
  8. that paint job looks amazing, what'd it cost?
  9. 500 or less than a tenner, thats what you call proper scandalous. How can yamaha charge that much when you can fix it yourself for no more than a couple of quid? Good on you mate, thats what you call proper smarts
  10. Get better soon mate, it'll be better in the warmer weather, trust me
  11. What'd you think i should do? Cause a brand spanking panel will cost me 244 and this panel My link cost me 20
  12. Hey guys and gals. Just purchased a R/H side panel in black for my Ocean Blue Bike (dont ask). It was sitting on ebay pretty cheap, now waiting for it to arrive to see the scratches it has on it. I was wondering what would be the best thing to do. Sand the panel down, fill the scratches, repaint it and make it look like new then sell it back on ebay or strip and sand the whole panel down, spray it ocean blue. The only problem is where would i get a hand of the transfer stickers for the side panel? Open to your ideas? David
  13. I might go if i can get any of the dates off I'll be coming from glasgow though haha
  14. i went out on mine today, sod the rain and wind, the xj6 eats it alive. Saying that, i only past one other motorcyclist as mad as me on the motorway
  15. that'll take some cleaning!, best doing that first before you even decide to strip it of anything
  16. how do you keep that bike so clean
  17. shop around mate, you'll be able to get your hands on 2009 model bikes cheeper than the 2011 bikes. I bet some yamaha show rooms will still have stock lying around. Also look for ones with low millage, you'll be able to pick up show room models with test purchase miles on them. also fleybay will have some good ones But if your sitting with a restricted licence i'd stick with the 250, but not by new and just trade it in.
  18. My link Get yourself one of these, solves most of your problems
