Bike servicing, rebuilding, restoring, manuals, etc..
Another thread raised this subject so I thought I'd give you guys n gals the facts on the compliance AND reCOMPLIANCE process as it stands TODAY. First off there are usually four reasons a bike needs to be complied The first is registration has lapsed. Simply put the owner has for some reason...
Some workshop manual links which may be of use. By no means exhaustive - I really need to have a tidy and sort out of the bookmarks! I also have the K1100RS scan on the archives, and (somewhere) TZ350 and TZ750 ones - just in case I see one in a skip somewhere one day... If anyone has a GSXR400...
Ok so you own one of these motorcycle thingies & it has occurred to you that sometimes they need maintenance, repairs or adjustments in the workshop. (I’m not intending for this to become a ‘what should I carry’ thread) What does one do about tools? a) Rely on the toolkit (unless it was 2nd...
I found this a while back, hopefully it will be of use to someone. It lists headset, crank and wheel bearings for a lot of motorbikes :hitcher:
I'm about to do an oil change and I've found that I've got nearly enough mineral oil and nearly enough synthetic oil but not enough of one or the other to do the job. Can I just mix them or should I be buying a load more oil and getting it all the same? Also, WTF is with motorcycle oil? how is...
Heya, was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a service/owners manual for a 2007 or similar Suzuki VL250. (I've looked in the 'lotsa manuals' thread and can't find it) I have spent hours now trolling forums and search engines with no success - and no end in sight! Any help would...
hi there people, i own a 1979 yamy xs 1100 it would be very interesting to see how many are still out there on the road or maybe not on the road..cheeers :spudwave:
:angry: I ride my RG150 to town and back every day (10km each way) and desperately need to get it fixed. I was riding along and then it basically died. It sounded as though it didn't get enough fuel and was suffocating. So I pulled over to the side of the road and proceeded to try and...
Hey guys, Was wondering if anyone knows a good place to go for Hyosung spares, i have a 2006 gt250r and need to replace some seals cause of oil leaks. Does anyone have the manual for this bike by any chance? Cheers!
Greetings, O FellowMotorbicyclists! :scooter: I yam about to change my chain'n'sprockets for ones that don't vibrate my whatnots, and thought for a change I might do it meself. But (however!) I will need to use an appropriate riveting tool to assemble the parts. Does anyone have one I could...
Are these interchangeable? My radiator had a run in with an errant water-blaster so I have 2 options, 1. spend hours bending back the fins or 2. get a new radiator from a dismantling Xelvis on Trademe. Anyone know?
This guy is a crack-up! Has to be seen... A quick walkthrough on checking your rear wheel alignment at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fuh-xg11SE&feature=related Made me laugh! Gotta love americans... :niceone:
After weeks of messing around and god only knows how many hours of labour (screwing things up and doing them the long way round!) I've finally got the ZXR running, and running surprisinly nicely at that! I've only had it idling today as I've had a few 'cutting out' problems which I now know the...
i bought an unfinished cafe racer project a few months ago. re assembled the newly painted bike got it running (and it looks sexy as hell) so took it to henderson yamaha to have it tuned up for the new pod filters on it. thats when it all went wrong after waiting for weeks to have it looked at the...
The service manual I have makes a lot of noise about the importance of using the correct torque when tightening bolts etc - and rightly so :yes: In they manual they use kg-m as their torque measurement e.g. 3 kg-m which according to the online converters = 29Nm. I want to get a torque wrench...
I've finally managed to get the ZXR going so I'm chuffed fuckless about that! One problem though, which I think is probably idle speed related, is that it cuts out shortly after starting, the amount of time varies but it's always when I think it's warmed up a bit and want to see if it'll idle...
Need help put white face plates on my speedo & rev had to take the needles off & now they all up the shit is there anyone that calibrates them in auckland..
When i bought my bike a few years ago it came with one key for the ignition and a separate key for the tank and to open the pillion seat. I'm giving my bike a bit of a tidy up and i want to have one key open all tje locks. Should i go to a locksmith o? Cheers in advance
Whats the best goo to use on a 06 Cbr 600RR clutch cover? I have watched a mechanic mate do this 3 times and he always used his Red Baron special sauce I failed once already and when I cleaned my Repco "red master gasket maker number 7 hi temp silcone" to start again I noticed that his black...
Since i'm outta riding action for a while still, I thought i'd shine up my pride and joy while i'm not riding her. It's a '89 GN250, looks wise, it's not in bad nick, but there's a bit of dark rusty stuff on the engine and muffler, i'm not sure what to call it, but I was wonderin' whats the best...
Hello, I'm just new here. I just got a 1986 Suzuki Fa-50, and i really do like it. It's a very nice bike. Runs like brand new, But one thing I don't like is the mirror coz it's not clear. Does anybody know where I can get a pair of mirrors and what size are they? Please let me know. Thanks.
I need a service manual for K1200GT 2004 Thank you
I'm having a few problems with a newly bought '06 GN250 (yes I know, caveat emptor :D). I ran the battery down trying to start her a few days ago (doh!). I bought a trickle charger and revived the battery to a healthy voltage, but she still wouldn't go. Pulled out the spark plug and found it...
Hi all Battery is dead Shop says 150 Im poor Help!
does anyone know what oil filter to put on a cb250rs? and where the filter is
noob question: I just bought a can of CRC 5.56 and am wondering if there are any bike parts I should avoid spraying with it: like exposed rubber bits or the front brake disc maybe (but presumably one needs to clean this with something too?), will it slowly chew through paint?... I've just bought a...
I have just got myself a $300 FA50 moped/ step though thing :woohoo: to go to work and save running costs on the Beemer. The previous owner was a student, who left the poor thing in an open carport and wasn't a great believer in maintenance, so it is not much of a looker with rust patches and...
