Okey so I am new to modeling, this is my first model I have ever made. I have made a low poly model and a high poly model. Now I am trying to bake normal map for the low poly bike, But the normal map does not work in game. The bike just look wird with the normal map and does not make much of a different from the bike without a normal map. Some tips or ideas on how to fix this ?

Invert your red and green channels

Should look completely different. Either you didn't invert them, or your model has a major issue.

Okey thanks for the help will try a little more, any ideas what could be wrong with the model if that is the case?
I mean when I bake the normals I don’t think they look the same as normal maps for other bikes. If you look at the picture I posted of my normal map and compared to others I think mine is looking a little weird.

I know it seems simple but you should notice a difference between a normal and not running a normal map. You sure you have everything named correctly?

Yes it was named correctly, the issue was that I baked the normal map in Cycles and not in blender render. The normal map works fine now.
Thanks to Jeremy150 for the help
