Thankyou very much, i do have a K&N air filter replacement which i fitted when i bought the bike as i thought cheaper to pay 50 quid rather than 15.00 quid every year as i am keeping the bike for commuting, i don't want to buy the filters which cost £120.00 for x4 if it makes the bike run rough!! yes it does make the bike sound nice but i was hoping some one would say yes do it!! lol it will make it better!!! i appreciate your input.

Ok chappys i have a yamaha xj 600 1997, i have been tinkering with it and yes i no it is not a sports bike but as with anything i touch i like a little bit more!! it is my first big bike had her for 1 year to date!! but i just had a nice little full stainless jamo system put on and before i get the carbs balanced i thought about getting some direct air filters on the carbs, as in k&n or similar to that, everyone i no says no don't do it!!! but is it really that bad? i mean more air should result in a bit more umphh!!!???? please give me your thoughts oh great one's!!

Possible

Wow i seen it all now!!!..

Hmmm...the thing is i have seen ( example ) a 650 honda sitting out side asda 2009 plate with L plates as well?..i only passed 3 weeks ago my self so i no what you can and can't do...< blank stare >..

Ok this may sound really stupid, so i say sorry in advance ...but i have seen bigger bikes ( i.e bigger than 125cc ) going around with L plates and no instructors?...i mean i thought you could only ride 125cc with L plates?....this has been bugging me for a while so am i being daft or am i missing something?

My advise is to try out bikes...or at least sit on them and see if it feels comftable for you!!...my mates told me bandit was the way to go but when i tryed one out...( well two ) it just was not right for me, in the end i bought a yamaha xj 600 simply because it felt right and had just enuff power to get passed a moped ...i truly belive you need to try before you buy, every one is different!! one person may think wow and another might think crap! lots of bikes out there mate and enjoy and good luck on your DAS test

I agree with oldtimer..70mph sounds about right

Yep you got me lolll... ('ll stop there before i overcomplicate things)

I no this sounds daft but e-bay....i mean is there any thing they don't sell???...or e.mail breakers around the uk?...for a small fee you can put your request out to all the breakers on certain web sites.

Nice wheels son ya got a pic???...i passed last week so well done!!....but be safe!!

That's so bad!! it's sooo sick.....but i can't stop fookin larrfin!!!!

Hi mate i passed my test last week as well nice one bro!!...nice wheels

It really was but i well buggerd up my arm as we were doing 35 when i flew of!!!! ...but i was larffing so much i could not feel the pain!!!

Thanks mate i had fun today took the day of to go crusing!!! i love being on the road and just want to keep going!!!

All this advise really does help and thankyou...the guy i passed my test with had a saying...( if in doubt CHICKEN out!! )...i keep this locked away in the back of my head at all times when riding, also i am not 20 no more i fear death!!!...as a result i am very VERY cautious of traffic...etc T-junctions and cars that like to stop in the middle of the road for god knows what reason??? ...like today this happend...i took a day off today to go cruising and just get used to my new big bike and am lovin every second

Thanks for the advice!!!...i really want to be safe and feel safe!!

Thanks for the advice....i no what you meen i was doing 60 behind a van that was following a car in a 60 limit on the A32 near alton and the tosser in the car in front of the van decided to turn left with no indication and i nearlly become that fuzzy little bear thats sticks to the rear window of cars

Yep i was caught out nearlly twice!!!

LOL...i think i would come of seeing that coming at me!!!

Lol you should av been in the seat it was more like the electric chair!!!

All i rmr is don't let go!!!!...then when we got to the end i thought...OH SHIT !!!! loll

Is this bike a 125cc?...if so it may not have a filter on it?
