I would like to sell my 2003 VStar 1100 with 17,000km.  Very well taken care
of - never dropped - lot of extras - about $5000. - hard saddlebags -
windshield - passing lamps - floor board extenders - oil filter relocation
kit - cobra pipes - risers - it is a BLACK BEAUTY - all ...

looking for a new front tire for my virago 1100.
i can't find out much about the pirelli mt66, although it is 20 bucks
cheaper than the metzler, i am wondering if the performance is that
much less, or just the mileage capability of the tire.

What is the best way to remove the stickers from the fender and the tank
badge from a V-Star 650?
thanks

I'm looking to buy a 2004 Road Star Silverado or V-star 1100 looking for
any feed back on which bikes is better

Can anyone direct me to a place where I can purchase a driver's backrest
that will work with by factory seat for my V Star 1100 classic?

Just got a new R1 and am really enjoying it, it's a great bike.
However when I get to around 65 MPH the mirrors start to vibrate. By the
time I reach 80 MPH they seem virtually useless as I can see something
behind me, but cannot tell what it is, that's how bad the vibration is!

Does anybody know how to remove the left side hand grip. It's glued on and I
would like a way to remove it without damaging the grip.

What is high milage for a vstar 1100 or a Roadstar? Is 25k miles too
high to risk?
Looking at buying a used bike. Was wondering how many miles are these
Yamaha Vstars & Roadstars supposed to get, with good upkeep of course.

Does anyone own an XJR1300. I'm lookin' at buying one (if the bank lets me)
and would like some feedback on it.

Friday, the driveshaft on my bike went out AGAIN.  It happened in Feb,
with only 11K miles on the bike.  This time, I only had 3k on this
drive shaft/rear end.
WTF??????/

Does anyone know where i can find a repair manual for Yamaha DT 175?

Why do so many tossers think it's only the Jap's that get it? They should
look at the Australian market. Check it out moron B4 ya post. I want a 'no
plastic' muscle bike. It must be a Yammie. XJR is the only choice. All I can
say is 'BALLS' which I HAVE  to own one. XJR rules!

Is it possible to put the stock exhaust from a 650 Classic onto an 1100
Custom?

I keep getting this re-occurring problem with my bike,  after about 8ish
miles it just dies on me,then after a few minutes starts only to do it
again.  I've tried cleaning the fuel system, including
stripping the carb, fuel tank and fuel tap.  I've stripped and cleaned the
