    1991 Kawasaki GPZ500 Spark Plugs?

    Hi, I serviced my bike a couple of weeks back and I changed the plugs as part of the this. I replaced NGK plugs for NGK plugs. The ones already in the bike were DR8ES-L and the ones I put in were DR8ES. Now then, the Haynes Manual and the Kawasaki Manual both state that DR8ES are the correct...

    Kawasaki GPZ500 Wheel Size?

    Hi there, I currently ride a 1991 Kawasaki GPZ500 - the 16" wheel model. I was just wondering if it'd take much work and cost to fit the later models 17" wheels, and if it'd upset the cruising or handling ability? The reason I ask is that it'd give me more tyre choice with the 17" wheels...

    Does a 2005 ducati 749s have a manual choke ?

    Fuel injection so nope. However, I would imagine it has a 'fast idle' switch on the handlebar that gives a similar effect to warming the bike up as a choke would --Mikey B--

    2011 honda cbr250r vs 2011 kawasaki ninja 250r?

    In the UK brand new, the Cbr250 is around £1000 cheaper to buy than the ninja. So my money would be on the CBR250 to be honest (I also think thst whilst it doesnt look as 'sporty' as the ninja, it is a more recent, fresher design :) If you are doing highway sorts of speeds regularly, have you...

    Hi, Any advice on how to fit L-Plates to my Honda CG125? I am aware that there is a law stating that the L-Plate has to be 7"x7" in size and no bigger or smaller. I have a rough idea of how to fit the rear one (bottom of numberplate) but how do i go about affixing the front one? I cannot wrap...

    Buying a Honda CG125?

    Hi there, I'm currently in the process of buying a '97 Honda CG125. I have offered him £580 and he's accepted, so I'm a little confused as to what to do next. Basically, when I went to buy the bike yesterday, he hadn't checked it over before I got there, so I had a look at it and the rear tyre...

    Good first 'big' bike?

    Hi, What bike would you suggest to someone who has just passed their full bike test in the UK? They are 17, so insurance for a bigger bike is very expensive. Can you suggest any good step-up bikes...say a 250 etc...? (Please remember that because they are under the age of 21 they are restricted...

    1999 Yamaha R1 Gauges!!?

    My uncle had the exact same problem!! His was the actual guage in the end malfunctioning. But it all depends what the error message it displays is, if it displays one at all. There are 4 things it could be: 1. The clocks are broken 2. The EXUP valve is faulty 3. The wiring is damaged somewhere...

    Does the old Ducati Cagiva mito 125 look identical to the ducati 748 for a reason?

    Well it's only called the Cagiva Mito, drop the Ducati name. Cagiva is a small Italian company that is owned by Ducati. The bikes are modelled on the Ducati 748 because that bike is very very sexy =P I think that the Cagiva Mito is a very nice looking learner legal bike. Possibly the nicest...

    does any leo vince tt exhaust fit yamaha aerox?

    I'm not sure But the best advice is to alwayts buy the correct one for your model of bike. This way you can avoid dissappointment. Most sellers/shops wouldn't take the item back if it was wrong. Try; adrenalin pedstop OR PMTuning (In the UK) --Mikey B--
