I dont know too much about engine performance. I'm looking to buy a 600(ish) bike to last me two years, but heard that restrictor kit's can cause certain engines to perform badly, even degrade. When looking to buy, is there anything I should completely avoid if im wanting to restrict to 47hp? Thanks for reading. :DP.S - Sorry if im spouting total rubbish

I've got a 2001 gsx750f grey import and the advisory on the mot was the headlights. Can you swap the dip and main connectors around or is it worth forking out on a uk full headlight? also is it worth swapping the dash for a uk one, its already got the gizmo to read mph instead of kph?any help on this would most appreciated and if you know where to get them cheap.Thanks

Hi new to this so would appreciate the help if possible. Right I have a 96 mk1 suzuki bandit its had a fill service 2 weeks ago but prior to this and still afterwards is a problem that is very annoying. The bike starts and runs fine until I try to open up the throttle at which point its seems likes its dumping aload of fuel into the system to which it cant burn off so the bike stutters and then the power kicks back in and it shoots off. Could anyone shed any light on this issue thanks.

I%X92m refitting the cylinder head on a VT Shadow 700c V twin OHC. The 700c was modified for the USA market and imported to the UK. I%X92ve replaced cylinder and head gaskets with ones made for the 750c as these were the only ones available and they look identical. I am unable to get any compression in either cylinder. At TDC there is clearance at the inlet and exhaust valves but as I torque the camshaft housing the gap closes and all valve springs appear to be compressed.

I just recently replaced my panels on my bike and had to change the indicators from one panel to the other. They now are having issues. I can operate the rhs indicator but not the left. This is also greeted by a buzzing on the rhs operation and a perm on position for the Lhs. Please help a new rider! Would prefer to learn how to do it myself than get someone else to fix it!

Hey, I've just had the chain and sprockets replaced on the blade and seem to be getting more miles to a tank.The way I see it, one of 2 things is happening: 1. My reserve light is broken2. Having new stuff on the bike means it's more efficient, which means I'm getting better mpg. Normally the reserve comes on around 120 miles, but I managed 135 ish before getting to a petrol station (still without the light coming on) - I haven't had a chance to ride round and round until the light either comes on or the petrol runs out yet, so ...
