    the YBR is a fairly reliable bike - being 4 stroke. 150 miles on that little beast will be a doddle - so long as you can stand only being able to reach 70mph lol...

    nah i dont like the 55 one - i like the new shape ones so it has to be an 06 model and since i only got 4500 to spend im not gonna be able to afford an 07 or 08 one.

    you can book an A2 test anytime after your 17. but like a car test you have to have passed the motorcycle theory test before you do.

    i think the dunlop Roadsmart is an ok tyre, my friend has them on his R6 - doesnt last quite as long as the Avons though. I had dunlops on my ZXR400 and they were ok - but the last 4 sets of tyres iv had have been Avon Storms - cant fault them TBH - Great Tyre.

    iv got Avon Storms on mine they last for quite a while and are good in the wet. sooo much confidence in them - they are great in the dry once they have warmed up.

    fucking lol! 2 stroke.... im at work (pre-occupied) was thinking R6 engine Sorry Derryk lol DTR's dont have a dip stick - it will be a sight glass. Haynes manual will do you well... (good advise)

  17. R6_Martin replied to derryk's post in a topic in The Bar
    regardless of how long its been in storeage and how many miles its done - if its been sitting for a long time and you dont really know the history of it then id change the oil to be safe - just dont buy the wrong stuff or it will blow up lol..
  18. Im doing silverstone on 16th September 2008 on a Hire R6 anyone booking up? its with HOTTRAX by the way.
  19. R6_Martin replied to derryk's post in a topic in The Bar
    unless the oil pump is broke i wouldnd mix it with the petrol aswell lol - the oil filter is towards the front of the engine id imagine on them. i dont think its imperitave that you remove this when changing the oil anyway - not unless ur putting a new filter on. just letting it all leak out of the sump should do the trick.
  20. R6_Martin replied to derryk's post in a topic in The Bar
    YOU DONT TAKE THE SUMP OFF LOL just unscrew the sump plug and let it all drain out and after its all come out then screw it back in same with the oil filter it will say on your engine casing how much oil you need to use. easy.
  21. R6_Martin replied to rixer's post in a topic in Naked
    if your bike is new then you wont need to know what oil to purchase - the dealership will do it when it goes in for a service...?
