Welcome to our repair section! This is where we help each other out with bike troubles. These aren't strict rules—just some friendly advice to help you get the best answers possible from the community. 💬 Start Your Own Thread If you're having an issue—even if it sounds like someone else’s—please create a new thread. Every bike and situation is different, and we’ll need details specific to your ride. 🧠 Be Clear and Detailed Vague posts are tough to respond to. The more info you give, the better help you'll get. Think short and clear, not cryptic or rambling. Confused posts might just get ignored. ⏳ No Replies Yet? Don’t Panic If no one has responded, it might be because: No one knows the answer yet It’s a weekend or holiday Or your post needs more info Be patient and check back. Good things take time! 📸 Use Photos! Got a weird part, leak, or mystery rattle? Snap a pic! It’s way easier to understand what’s going on when we can see it. 🎥 Videos Work Too If your bike’s making a crazy sound (like “ping-kawaki-ding-dong-diddly”), a video can really help. Upload it somewhere (YouTube, etc.), and share the link with a quick description. 🔍 Use the Search Tool Many problems have already been discussed. Try a quick search first—you might find the answer instantly! But hey, if you want to post anyway, go for it. No one’s stopping you. ✅ Share What Worked! If you fix the problem, please let us know how! It helps future members who might face the same issue. Don’t leave us hanging—we love closure! 🛠️ When Asking for Help, Include These Basics: To get solid advice, we’ll need to know some things about your bike: Year – This matters more than you think. Make – Honda, Yamaha, Harley, etc. What’s the problem? – “It won’t start” isn’t enough. What exactly is happening? Background – Has it been sitting for a year? Drenched in a storm? Crashed? All of this can matter. What have you tried already? – Saves us from repeating what you’ve done. Anything else – Even small details can lead to a breakthrough. The more you tell us, the better your chances of getting your ride back on the road. Let's fix some bikes!

Hello and Welcome! First off, thank you for taking the time and visiting the site, still in the middle of launch so things will slowly work the way they are suppose to soonish. My names Adam, and I’m one of the Admins to the site. I’m actually rather new to riding, but have always loved motorbikes since I was a kid. Ive been riding (road) for close to 4 years now, first road bike was a Benelli TNT 135, bright green. Fun little bike but traveling to and from the Wagga region was not feasible with that little thing. So I upgraded to a Honda CB650R after only a few months and that was my bike for a couple of years until I sadly crashed it into a tree. Helmets save lives folks. In 2023 I picked up a brand new Triumph Trident 660, great bike it absolutely hammers. Here I am with pals at a local event. Thank you, and again welcome!
