I'm the same as you, nod to everyone, TT fortnight is a nightmare   I've never had an ADV bike rider not nod, or nod back,  the one's I find that rarely respond are the scooter jocks ..... Maybe it's because they're so shocked that someone is actually acknowledging them on the road

Haha i can imagine. Im there this year first time I bet its different over there though being the land of the bikers and all that. 

Being a fairly new rider to the roads there is a stigma that comes with adventure bike riders that theyre very cliquey and “feel superior to other motorbikers” but i will nod wave to anyone on two wheels and do tend to get ignored by the adventure bikers more than other riders i dont know why?! 

Looking for second hand pillion peg hangers? Does anyone have or know of any for sale?

Looking for a gp125 engine for my project any about for sale? 

Anyone touring the 500 this year? Me and two of my pals will be there over the last may bank holiday weekend!

What do you actually mean by Club ? 

People who meet up go for ride outs meet up for social stuff like that

Facebook is your friend here . Clubs are very much a thing of the past now . What bike and what area  ?

Gsx650f stockport way. I know theres quite a few round this way just getting in with one 

Looking to buy bobber black! 

Hey guys, looking for any clubs to join as new to the area and looking for rideouts, club nights etc

Zrx swingarm needed.

Any recommendations for a training centre to do my full test in/near stockport?

Its from a zephyr 750. Have been told the zrx 1100 bolst straight in but the wheel widths are different the zephyr is 150 and a zrx is 170

Im looking for a tubular swing arm to fit a zephyr 750. Any info or guidance appreciated

Tubular swing arm wanted with dimensions shown in photos. Any leads or guidance much appreciated!

Got a new lambda sensor. Absolutely no difference?!

So what do you want them for ? I'm guessing a Café Racer project perhaps . Or maybe you are going for the fat wheel look on the Mutt Mongrel .

The mongrel has big enough tyres with wire wheels. Its for a cafe racer project my pal is doing on a zephyr 750

Could be the Lambda sensor, also known as Oxygen sensor.

That makes so much sense why didnt i think of that will order a new one cheers

Which Zephyr ?

 

1991 kawasaki zephyr 750

 

Just checking . They also made a 550 and an 1100 . Nothing on eBay .

First place i looked, they seem to be rare as rocking horse s**t so thought id try on here

I know this is a long shot but if anyone has for sale or information for getting my hands on some kawasaki zephyr wire wheels would be much appreciated!

 

Which Zephyr ?

1991 kawasaki zephyr 750

Evening. I own a mutt mongrel 125. Ive been having an ongoing problem with it. It seems when i first start the bike wether i leave it for a minute or ten minutes when i pull away in first gear and come to a stop at the end of the road the bike will always seem to cut out. Once ive started it again and got it going with a bit of lag and got going through the gears it doesnt happen again. The bike is fuel injected ive checked the air filter its had a new coil pack and spark plug and an oil change. Where do i go from here?

I know this is a long shot but if anyone has for sale or information for getting my hands on some kawasaki zephyr wire wheels would be much appreciated!

Hey. I have a 1991 kawasaki zephyr 750. Im doing a cafe racer project with it and want to extend the swing arm slightly. Does anyone know of a longer swing arm thats bolts into this bike? Any info would be helpful! Thanks
