seems like a good price Dom,i have heard the America don't handle all that well ,that said I fancy an 865 t100 myself.

yep,did the easter egg run with the Scunny Bikers ,recon about 100 bikes,xj 900 battery died on me at the third supermarket bloody embarising!

what he said,i remember buying this stuff!

had my '89 900f for about 3yrs now,shudda had one years ago.had no issues with mine at all.

life is for living,be short lived or long,ffs LIVE IT!

yep,bin there and done it! dropped the 900f onto the gs 750,smashed the topbox (new) off the 900f and busted the gearshift on the Suzuki +I had no one to blame but meself!!!

had my '89 900f for three years it's fairly clean but does have a few dings here and there,that said it's still only done 33,000 miles.i've put strait bars on so I have a more upright riding position,cos at 70yrs old I get back ache!The carbs are gonna need balancing soon anyone know where I can buy a YICS tool?

please DON'Tget me started on E U directives!!!

most mukuni carbs have a five diget i.d number stamped on the righthand shoulder.

I come from my mums bellybutton and I know its true cos she told me!

Had a evo softail for 7or8 years,can't say it wasn't reliable cos it was but when it did need parts I got stiffed! iron head sportsters are a no go unless your prepared to spend every weekend spannering on it,evo sportsters may be a better bet but then your back to considering cost again.like the man said you pays yer money you makes yer choice.

read a couple of articals on this stuff sounds o.k. but costs about £16 for 5ltrs.i just drain the tank and carbs then use the drained fuel in our Gertys car.

I was ten years old and living in Bristol,myuncle took me across cliffton suspention bridge on his motorcycle,i have no idea what make it was but it was big black and shiny ,made a beautifull noise and I wanted one!passed the test in1968 andhave been lucky enough to have ridden everything from brits,japs,Harleys,and back again.i'll be 69 on the16th of oct,and have no intentions of quitting any time soon.

i'v got two cats ,two bikes ,two cars and ONE wife,i'll leave you to guess which of 'em gives me the most trouble!

saw a sticker on a local M.C.club bike which read,PROTECTED BY EXTREAM VIOLENCE short and straight to the point!

yeah SQUIRES is on of them places with a history of bikin' going back centuries,well, a bloody long time anyway.!

back in the day when we had 2* and 4* fuel I had jap engine bikes that woud'nt start on 'posh' fuel 'cos the combustion chamber was designed to run on low octane petrol.dunno if that's still the case but I just put unleaded in both the bikes and the 20yr old jag I run, all seem to like it fine.

Moto gussie 750 Nevada,looked beautifull but was gutless for a750cc bike.agree with earlier posting re,honda 400 superdog,most uncomfortable thing i'v ever slung my leg over and when you get to my age you've slung yer leg over some dogs !

hi foamy,get hold of a copy of classic motorcycle mechanics, APRIL 2013.there's a great writeup by phil hacker who runs the fj club.he says ,camchains good for 100,000 miles,camshafts never wear out,piston rings good for 180,000 miles.alternaters and starters never a problem.biggest problem will be the carbs if the bikes been stood to long.he also says the earlier models were built to a higher standard up to 1990 is best.check out www.fjclub.co.uk.i recon £,1000 for the fj1100 if it's in reasonable nic is a deal.

well,i'v had dragpipes on hardtail chops jap and H.D they sound great in the pub carpark but after 200miles riding theygave me a f*&^%kin headache!

started on a 25cc cyclemaster in 1963 bsa bantam150cc 1964 bantam 175cc in 1968 passed test on this. jawa 250 Honda 250 k4 Suzuki 550 gt Suzuki 750 gt triumph 650 o.i.f Honda 400 superdog triumph 750 custom Suzuki 750 gs Suzuki 750 gs hardtail chop Suzuki 750 gs lowrider Harley softail evo moto guzzi 750 current rides are yam xj900f and Suzuki gs 750.

will be interesting to see the finished job,not to bad a price considering he's doing all the work!

yep it's an air vent, its designed to relive air pressure that would otherwise build up.

signed it!

ya have to do it at least once or your not a proper biker ,and anyway it's in the rules so there!
