  1. Hi,


    I need a new chain and sprocket for my Yamaha Thundercat (600cc). I'm confused about which one to buy as there seems to be heavy weight, and other types available. I usually do less than 3k a year and mainly use the bike for commuting.


    I don't mind spending a little more if it means I get a better quality product.


    Please can someone recommend me one?


    Thanks :)

  2. Hi all


    I need new tyres for my Yamaha Thundercat 600. Any recommendations? I never take it on the track (and am never likely to).


    Also my MOT advisory was that the rear tyre valve stem is slightly damaged, should I get this sorted before I get them fitted?


    Many thankies :)

  3. Hi all,


    Just asking for your help please.


    I took my bike for its MOT and they pointed out some of the LEDs on the indicators are not working. What do I do? Can I buy replacement LEDs or do I have to buy a whole new thing?


    I appreciate this is probably a very common/easy thing but I am, to conform to an age old stereotype: a) a girl and b) know nothing about/have no interest in mechanics.


    Thank you :)

  4. I have quite a few hobbies and Ikm constantly wishing there were more hours in the day! I go horse riding every week, run about 4 times a week and ride my bike anything fro 3-6 times a week. Very much an outdoors person, and it doesn't cost you anything to cycle or run once you got the kit :) I also like walking over the downs but don't get to do it as much as I'd like. Indoors, I like cooking, reading and watching films (LoveFilm is good for that!)

  5. Hi everyone. Wondered if you could help me out with my new helmet? I bought it recently and am having trouble with it fogging up. It came with two plastic bits which I think are the things that stop it fogging. My old helmet came with it already fitted and I never had a problem. My new one didn't have them fitted, and there are no instructions. It doesn't seem to be as easy as simply snapping it in, because the space where they fitted on my old helmet is pretty non-existance and non-flexible on my new one. I don't want to damage it! Can anyone help please? Hopefully the pictures will give you an idea.

    Second plastic bit that came with new helmet. It's narrower but has larger plastic lumps on the fitting if that makes sense?

  6. I went indoor climbing for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was shitting it, but I actually enjoyed it and felt I'd achieved something when I got to the top of the walls. There was only one I couldn't do and that was a more advanced one that was hanging out so you need more developed muscles and better technique I think. I was scrambling up any way I could, lol! Might do it again one day as my little step-brother seems to love it and none of the olds would have a go, hehe!


    I had no idea all the gear was so expensive. The kit was included in the price at the activity centre we went to. But I suppose it's like a lot of things, like biking, once you have the stuff, it'll hopefully last you a while.

  7. Hiya, only just seen your reply. If I remember correctly it was me that told you about this forum in the first place 'stalker boy'!


    I know someone local that knows about bikes so they will probably be my first port of call, but thankyou for the offer. Do you have a bike atm?

  8. Charged it up again today, tried it with the reserve on as someone suggested, still turning over but not wanting to start. Gonna get more fuel in it, and in the mean time keep the battery topped up, next plan is to get someone who actually knows about bikes to look at it, I can't even get the bloody fairings off!
