Mr Creosote

Thanks for replying guys. Well the noise is still there and I still have no idea what it could be or where it's coming from but when it goes away, it just stops immediately on or about 50 mph. Oh and by the way, no one is brave enough to go on it above 50 lol!

Ho! fellow Yam lovers, I have this weird problem that's proving difficult to diagnose. Sometimes and ONLY sometimes I hear this awful yowling noise from my XJ600. The reason I say it's difficult to diagnose is that it disappeares when you go below 50mph and as I'm sure you'll agree you can't really hear much but wind above 50mph (well, not MY wind anyways). However, I was travelling home late last night and I heard the noise and had a look down and noticed that the speedo light was glowing dull then normal; unusual as all the other clocks didn't vary. Whenever I dipped below 50, the clock light became normal and the sound vanished. Could this be a noisey speedo cable problem?

Oh man, you'll love it! Findhorn is a rare wee place, only 2 miles away and the beaches are braw! Forres has some of the best gardens Ive ever seen (Grant Park is phenominal). And the pies!!!!! MMMMMMM!

No! I dont think I could find the way to Crail! We have a damn good 1/2 mile between Burghead and Kinloss. Unfortunately the Bobbies watch it like a hawk. Picked up a few points in the car on that stretch. Tell me about Crail though, I'm well interested now!!

Maybe I should throw in a happy snappy to prove my point? Also, would you believe, it looks like the original exhaust! The bloke I bought it from even threw on new tyres, new chain & sprocket set and a new battery! Diamond Geezer!! Oh and a new MOT!

Cheers Barker!! Aye! Its Tam. I didnt want to buy off of Ebay cause you really dont know what your getting. I could end up with two pitted sets of sliders!! I think £160 is a fine price as the bike is in REALLY good nick... goes like a bottle rocket too! LOL! Oh! I didnt answer the question! Its got 36K on the clock which I can easily believe judging by the condition....and I only paid £650 for it!! Effing deal I say!

Hi folks! This is my first post and already I'm scrambling for info. I need to replace the fork stantions on my bike as they are a bit pitted (as you would expect for a 20 year old bike). Now the cheapest Ive been able to find in the UK is from a company called Busters Accessories. They sell them for £80 each. What I need to know is can they be found cheaper (what do you expect from a Jock)anywhere else and is Busters a reputable company? I'd be glad to have your input!
