Hello, After riding my r6 for a little over 3 years, it is finally time to move on to a "new motorcycle". I have decided to treat myself to a brand new machine which was a great idea until I started getting some insurance quotes. I am a 21 year old male and I have been ridding a 2003 R6 fo...

Hey, Just bought a little corsa for the longer journeys that i don't feel comfortable riding on my r6. Does anyone know a decent garage for cars that isn't out there to rip you off. I would do alot of the work Myself, ie Oil change and So on. But i Only want the car for a few months and it will look...

Im looking down and there below the things that move as you open the throttle (Very technical names here). Im sure they are the washers. There about 3 cm down from the things that open as you move the throttle.
And dayz Thanks alot mate... Do you work weekends?

In in looe in cornwall. Little town just off from liskeard if anyone lives near by:)
Not a nice feeling being able to see the washers and not get them out:S

Well this is the story so far. Took of fuel tank and airbox... Can see the Washers in the carbs but there about 10cm down (Im looking down) But they seem tightly in place and attempts to tap them have failed... How do you go about getting the stupid things out?

The engineer there told me it was a simple job of just removing washers in the fuel carbs under the fuel tank... Im not a pro me...

Well after alot of searching i decided to go for a r6 in blue and white. Cost me just under 3grand and the rest went on insurance. Im going to go and pick the bike up today (hopfully) but im just looking at the images on ebay and there is one thing that i cant get out of my head. Is this number plat...

Dam im happy i have only ever used bennets and there are quoting me over 1200. One last question, when i...

Hey. Firstly i would just like to say that i am 19 so sports bike's are out of the question as they want over £1200 insurance for a bike worth pennies which is a shame I had a 50cc at 16 and a gs500e at 17 (33bhp restricted) For the past year i have been drinving a car to commute to uni but its cost...
