Here in Australia it can be a long way between fuel stations & wondering about larger fuel tanks, sounds like in some cases they fit one tank to another but I don't understand what goes !!! I used a 14.5lt Clarke tank on my XR400 & that was perfect, not too big but giving me a good range, I've seen 11...

Simple problem, I fitted a short brake lever, all good apart from the brake light on all the time, the lever does not contact the switch fully, is the switch adjustable because if it screwed in half a turn it would work other than that I would have to add to the lever or fit different levers Cheers Terry

Okay, so short story is that having slung her down at speed, quite hard on rocks, i bent my wide, 5mm lower, custom made pegs.

If you have altered your gearing from standard then it is likely your speedo readings are now inaccurate. I changed to 13/48 sprockets and my speedo was reading 60mph compared to the "true" GPS reading of 50mph i.e well out! I have the 12oclockLabs SpeedoDRDs in stock so grabbed one and fit...

Can anyone tell me what width rim locks I need front and rear for my standard rims? The manual states rim width 1.6 front and 2.15 rear. Is that the size of rim lock I should buy?

Yet another question, I fitted a bashplate yesterday & now there is one hell of a racket, not sure it the engine noise is bouncing back up from the bashplate or it the vibs. I'm sure it's been done to death on previous post but any help how to shut it up would be great Terry

Anyone know where I can get some bike specific tank graphics for my 250r? The original ones are useless and have been jet washed off. Someone told me that's because of the strange plastic that Yamaha use. Any help please?
