Hi have a 2026 mt03 and sometimes experience gears slipping out or falling to a gear down, i dont believe its rider error always give it a good kick up and down anyone else experience this?

Just had what was for me the funniest moment on the bike in a while. Long day at the end of a long week. 6 day week and the end of a 12 hour shift, I decided I'm getting me come KFC. Nearest one doesn't deliver to me so I hop on the bike and ride up.

10 mins later I'm pulling into the parking lot, oh look 3 empty spaces right next to each other I can turn around in them. I get most of the way through the turn when I slip just a bit, the bike starts to tilt and I know it's going. I catch it when its still about 20° from horizontal, the drop cut out hasn't killed the engine, and the engine guard is still off the ground.

But unlike other times, I'm just too damn tired to recover it. So I'm standing there, bike near the ground and me at a ridiculous angle to keep it there. I start laughing at the situation, gently put it down and step off to lift it properly. I pop my helmet off and there's an older gent nearby laughing and asking if I'm alright. The absurdness of it still has me smiling and I thought I'd share.

Hi guys just wondering what should I do in this situation brought my bike to be serviced which was new oil and filter new air filter and 4 new spark plugs paid a little over 400€ for this service thought it was expensive anyway after about half an hour later after collecting the bike and driving it nearly home the temperature light had came on I pulled in and coolant blew out through the side of the rad cap. I checked and noticed it was only half on. I rang the garage and they had to come collect it the mechanic denied touching the radiator should I have to pay for the bike to be collect and fixed even tho there was no issue with the radiator or the cap before it went down to garage

Love to play around with a Smokey 125/250 on track. Just looking to be pointed in the right direction to a club ect

Hello lads and ladies.

My beloved bandit needs new chain and sprockets, anyone have a good site to order from? Got a new cooler from eBay recently but had to order from the states so it took 87 years to get here.

I am based in Cork, but had a few bad experiences with Lee Honda recently. Order part, get wrong part, loafs of hassle and all that so prefer not to. Happy to order from different place if anyone knows anywhere?

I live close enough to thr Waterford / cork border so not a big deal to go to Waterford city if anyone knows somewhere there?

Cheers thanks. Rubber side down and all that.

Does anyone know of a night course that does small engine maintenance or repair, looking to get a bit of knowledge and hopefully put some life back into a Honda 750, it's either cylinder crack or blown gaskets but at the moment outside of my technical knowledge of what to do. Rather than paying a few quid to get it fixed I'd like to learn myself how, and then pay a guy when I'm well and truly out of my depth.

Killdare, Laois, Offaly Dublin area would suit best.
