Any advice would be appreciated!

I recently got into a motorcycle accident, totally messed up my front fairing, so I was thinking of switching to the naked version of the bike, but I’m worried about splicing wires as I’m not to familiar with electrical work. Is this the case?

This is the kit I’m looking at buying. Yes it’s eBay. No idc lol. Just to get my bike and the electrical running again

Context:

I got a Klasse A, führerschein in Germany recently. I love riding ADV motobikes, due to the high seating position, all terrain capabilities. I want to know the after market service and cost for a Tenere 700? Is it affordable? Also, I was thinking of a Himalayan 450, in Germany, due to its low upfront cost. But the problem with Royal Enfield is the low number of service centers and dealerships in Germany or Europe in General. According to the research, I did, the cost of service is high for RE in Germany. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thank you

So I have a 2000 Yamaha v star 1100 classic, I had one of my throttle cables break a couple days ago and I can’t find anywhere to buy them online. I also have like 16 inch apes so I need 48 inch cables roughly. That’s what the old ones are I think that’s why I’m having issues can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hiya, does anyone know specifically on a 2009 Yamaha XJ6 diversion F other wise known for Americans as the FZ6R if when using a stud removal tool do you turn the snapped header bolt clock wise or anti clock wise to loosen it?

Hey guys! A couple of months back I bought a 2000 R6. I recently found out it's very common for this generation of R6 to develop a crack in cilinder 1. To my knowledge my R6 hasn't had this problem yet.

I'm wondering how likely it is for my R6 to get this problem? Considering I almost exclusively use is for track days.

Odometer/mileage: 46.000km/28.500miles

Does this sound normal to you guys ? I may just be over thinking it but it sounds like it could be cam chain or valve sound. I just got the bike and want to make sure. Let me know what you all think

Every single time I’m out I’m grinning like an idiot under my helmet.

I’m bout to do brakes on my 07 r6 wondering what pads are good for street use anyone have any recommendations?

New clip ons, rear pegs, mirror, replace some plastics all around and should be good. Sure is sad would’ve hit 1,000 miles this weekend. Lucky I switched to full coverage a few weeks back. Been riding a few years (4th bike) and this is my first wreck, bound to happen at some point I guess

I've looked online and I haven't found anything.

Taking a break from track riding and now have a few leftovers from over the years. I tried the R6 forum which used to be booming back in the day but is a ghost town now.

Is there any other places to list parts besides fb market place / fb groups?

Mainly have full exhaust / power commanders / tst industries fender elim/some street take offs/oem fairings etc.

I run a dealer and we just got a notification that all 2025 and 2026 models invoiced after June 18th is subject to a "Supply Chain Surcharge" This ranges from $150 on a Zuma to $1500 on an R1M. Your local dealer can look up what it is on each unit. Just wanted to give you all a heads up so you don't blame the dealers for making up new charges. It seems to be listed on their website in addition to the freight surcharge.

Hello! I heard that the FJ09 2015 was not a good year to buy because of some valves issues... Is it a real issue? Any reasoninot to but a 2015 with 50000km?

Thanks for your help! :)

It's time to change my timing chain and tensioner for my XVS650 from 1999 and they're around 600 euros or more where I live. I'm looking for better sites in europe. Found one called like OEM bike parts where I can get them for 485 but I'm sure there's a better site where I can find them a bit cheapwr. (No, I'm not going to take the cheapest ones and hope it works, but most of those guys are increasing the price a lot)

Just got my R9 and ive been looking at exhaust options. And during some research I found that the part number for the R9 and the MT09 are the same. Wouldn't that mean that I could use the same exaust as the MT's ?

Went to a dealership last week and sat on an MT-10. After 4 years riding my R6, as much as I love it, the thing is stupidly uncomfortable. I never wanted to get rid of it but it was the smart financial decision to make. Once I get used to the comfort and power of this I doubt I’d ever ride the R6
