I got a question about a Ural motorcycle kick-start not engaging problem. I know next to nothing about Ural motorcycles. I suppose it's a spring, and/or a pawl damage problem, but can't be certain. And I suppose that not engaging when it's very cold is the first sign of trouble. But that's mostly guesswork on my part - far from the knowledgeable expert.
The first thing that came to mind was to direct the person asking to this forum. There are some very knowledgeable people here, that seem knowledgeable with (motorcycle) mechanics in general, probably not "just" the Fazers/Yamahas.


But the question is whether people are happy and willing to have non-fazer stuff here. Yes, I'm sure there is a Ural forum somewhere, but I'd rather take an "it's probably..." from the people on FOC, than "it must be..." from a forum I have no idea about.
Having more members is not necessarily good - quantity doesn't always provide more quality. But it's also not bad in and of itself.


Anyway, I suppose the best thing is to ask.


Can and should we have a non-Yamaha/non-Fazer section?
Do you think it's a good idea?
Can I direct the poor sobs who don't speak my native to this wretched place?  Smile]]>

I assume they'll post it out if asked for a reasonable charge.
Other paint suppliers like RS paint for example have been ripping us off for yrs.


Hope this helps any other Foccers that are planning to refurb their own bikes.

Going in to MEDIA, then into MY ALBUM, then choose the option... Add an Item to this Album .

New item window opens where you can choose your media to upload.
However from the drop-down menu, "Select which album you want to upload this item to"...
Does not have your own album as a destination. There's several destinations, all public albums (but not my own which should have been default).

:rolleyes

WHERES THE HOT POOP?!


Many moons ago when we transfered over from the yuku page I managed the wiki page, I've been away for several years due to life and now upon coming back theres no such thing :rollin


IMO it was a great portal for info and was very useful as a one stop shop.


Anyone shed some light on it?

I personally don't bother with then as I feel they are more a ground for argument then actual sensible debate but there is no denying they can turn into a bit topic so there needs to be a place for them

Also I honestly think they need moderating as the insults are starting to lean towards personal attack.
There is no problem 'debating' a subject but once it comes to personal jibes I think that's going slightly too far.
At the end of the day we are all here for the things we have in common not our political views, we need to make sure it stays friendly ??]]> At least if they are all together in one place then people know exactly what to expect in that particular section of the forum.

Even when I've disabled all blockers, NoScript etc, the ones VNA posts in the Brexit thread don't show up.
If I quote the post, I can see the image code is there, but the only way I can actually see the picture is by copying it and pasting it into a new browser tab.
Anyone got any ideas why?
