Help! Any assistence greatly appreciated. My YZF R6 '99 model does not want to start after the winter hibernation period. The bike is turning over but does not seem to have a spark. Bought new spark plugs (not fitted yet), battery ok, fuses ok, fuel ok but could it be anything else? Bike will not bump start either. Cheers

Cheers for that...ill have a looksy later... Many thanks

Hiya guys Ive changed the chain & sprockets on my '99 R6...just bought some new bolts to go on the rear sprocket...does anyone have the torque settings?? I dont seem to be able to find them... Many thanks for any help...

Cheers for the invite but My 'Ol Mans got a gig that day so will be having a few sherberts at the Greenstar!

Prolly! We go there most weekends for brekkie anyway

ALL OF EM LEGENDS!!! Faith No More have recently got their sh1t back together again and are currently on tour! and are on at this weekends LEEDS FESTIVAL - albeit on the 2nd stage but hey ho... My music taste is very eclectic...child of the 80's so loving that, went through my raver stage in the 90's but favor the rock / alternative overall to be honest - classic to present

Yeah we go up there quite a bit...not too far from us either. Yes those Average Speed Camera thingymebobs are planned for up there and yes there is 5.0. activity about and they do have a Chopper Copper sometimes on patrol but you can usually see and hear it... Personally, we have never encountered the cops though...may be the time of day we go (we always seem to go later in the day).... I find you have to watch out for Kamikazee sheep more than lurking coppers

On revving, the lights do go brighter yep...

Hi y'all Ive got twin rear lights on my '99 R6. Coming back from a ride Im informed my left light is out. My b/f takes off the lense cover (which is bubbled from the heat), we find that the bulb has melted into the plastic at the back and we cant get it out....same on the other one although not quite as bad. They are only little 8w bulbs?? can anyone offer a theory as to why they are running that hot? Dont wanna fork out on new stuff if they are just gonna be frazzled too... is it just shit selection of bulbs / lights on an 'aftermarket' undertray or could there be another issue? Any help appreciated guys Ta Kell

Hi Gail "pootle" as in "pootling about" yeah I know what ya mean I cant pootle about on my bike at the moment as the twin rear light bulbs have decided to melt into the lenses, so im lightless...dunno how the feck thats happened...made a right mess...so gotta get that all sorted before I can take it out

welcome another gurly... Dont worry about the droppage...weve all done it Picked my bike up on the Friday night, Sunday afternoon I dropped mine trying to move it back whilst sitting on it...lost my footing...bang..! Luckily my boots & foot peg took the main impact...should see how the peg twisted around... Anyway, point is, we all learn hey, some more expensively than others Soz to hear about your bloke, but hey ho...everything happens for a reason so enjoy your stay here...good bunch of peeps, some good reading... Stay safe n enjoy your new bike Cheers Kelly

My Method:- 1. Get yourself some good paddock stands, 2. Deploy boyfriend with an OCD for cleaning bikes armed with Yoshimoto De-Gunger brush and rags, 3. Add Yoshimoto gold chain lube, 4. Bobs your uncle I am a lucky spud...in fact...my spud has never been so lucky...

Helllllooooo

Hi all...welcome n stuff

Hiya.. I also have a T Reg R6 and it was my first bike too Bought mine last August, ive found with mine the clutch needs attention soon and I have just replaced chain & sprockets. Oils perfect for the age, its been maintained & changed regularly...just keep an eye on that...hoses etc Been riding mine now almost a year and the bike still amazes me now..

I saw the coolest thing a few weeks ago....Im at work and, as I always do when I hear a bike go past my window, im up like a Meerkat to see what it is and to my complete disbelief I see's a guy on a Rocket 3 with a Jack Russell in some kind of bag on the back - THE CUTEST THING EVER SEEN! The Jack Russell had matching jacket, bandana and sun glasses to its owner and all matched the paint job Couldnt believe my mince pies Brilliant... Havent got a clue on the legalities though

So then...2 days to go and counting........... Anyone else doing the Day of Champions thingy? 7:15am meet at Mallory! blimey!

hello, good evening and welcome...(in my best Sir David Frost voice)

Ah, you should check out our buddies at D H Auto's in Newcastle (Under Lyme), they do some excellent stuff and you usually find they have more in the shop than is actually on their website...especially the ladies stuff...so if your ever passing Stoke, maybe having a trip to D & K Motorcycles...then I highly recommend popping to D H Auto's. www.dhautos.co.uk simples....
