I was just stripping out a cylinder head tonight and found a couple of very odd "things" under an exhaust valve - see photos below. I thought first off they were shells but I crushed them and the walls were thick and crumbly - almost like rotten wood. Any ideas what they are or were? Brian
Just an idea, how about a sub forum just for product reviews. Users could leave feed back on products they use or have tested. Opinions on stuff like bike gear, eg tyres, hydration packs, gear bags, helmets, gloves, goggles etc. I see there is one for GPS helmet cams etc but that topic is a bit limited....
Hi! I recently bought a 2006 TTR250 Supermoto, and just wanted to post it up in the forum. It had 4,500kms when I bought it, 6000 now. The person I bought it off had it in storage for 6 months, and so it ran quite bad but all it needed was a carby clean, runs great now. I think he said that the motard wheels were...

Feeling chuffed. My brother and his mate dropped through unexpectedly today on their road bikes. Asked if I wanted to come for a quick dash over to the reefton pub. My lovely wife gave me a leave pass and it was on. Didn't leave until just after 4pm. Had the throttle pinned all the way past Lake Mountain al...
Good morning everyone! I have a 2000 Yamaha ttr250 that I recently acquired from someone that knew nothing about proper maintenance of anything mechanical I noticed the rear shock is very soft on my bike even with the remote damper dialed all the way up to the stiffest settings. I also noticed lots...
Every now and again I get a "First time I have seen that!" moment and that happened recently when I was replacing a weepy cylinder base gasket on a friend's engine.

Wouldn't have seen this one coming: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a9e_1474618472 I ride solo regularly. I carry a 100' rope in my pack but it wouldn't have helped me in this case. Very rare to find open pit shafts in the US anymore, thankfully!
My front light brake light switch has go all Italian on me it's always been abit dodgy but worked all times and recently just not worked at the rear brake switch is fine so not bulb or rear light itself, the main fuse other day did blow and since then hasn't worked.
Ok I know alot of people don't like them, but what's the consensus on here? There was one fitted to my Super Sherpa and I liked it. Prime for 5 seconds, a little choke, turn the key, running engine... Turn engine off... Walk away with no worries. I'm also used to FI bikes and this fuel tap on the TTR has me co...

Not sure if he was a forum member and I did not get his name Just wondering if it was anyone from here and did my advice help or did you get it sorted? Steve ...
fell on a stump and busted my front sprocket guard as seen in the picture. Anyone have one or know of the cheapest place I could get one? I've found the part for $115 online which seems outrageous for such a small piece of metal
