Has anyone had an opportunity to test ride this new Venture.......thoughts????

Hi. First off let me say this seems to be the most balanced forum I've come across. A bit about myself. Mid 40's and feel like I want to strike off another item on the bucket list. I've been driving since I came and passed the advanced driver stuff with work. Stupid me want to pass the big bike test and get out there on quietist roads. Sensible me says 125 as it's a learner bike for a reason. Really torn as to what to do as I feel I've only got so much fast bike in me at my age. Any advice is really appreciated.

Ok folks just a quick question, just been out on the bike running well no major problems when suddenly I get this rattle, not there all the time and coming from the right side of the engine down low, only comes on at 4.5K revs and above and as soon as you throttle off it goes away. Oh it's in all gears not just top so I'm thinking it's a component and not an end type knock or clatter. I'm thinking cam chain tensioner has let go or on the way out but any other ideas ? Thanks lads.

I know its not a yam. Has anybody ever seen one?

hi does any one have a true fault code list, my engine management light comes on and flashes, worked out code 46 , any help please

Tommy called round tonight. He wanted to balance the carbs on his XJR It took longer to take the tank off than balance the carbs, although I have done it quite a few times. Anyway, we went out for a little bimble to Lymn Dam just coz it was a nice evening and we could next time you see these together will be in Spain, 4 weeks to go woo hoo

Hi all. New to the forum and just got myself a new bike. A 1993 xj600s diversion. Looking forward to getting it on the road. I'm looking to do a bit of a cafe racer / street tracker and wanted opinions on what people have seen and or done themselves. I'm looking to get some clocks and headlight like a xj600 N. but can't find them anywhere. Like I say any advise or help much appreciated. Also fairing dash and light will be for sale soon.

Hi all broke my right foot getting out of the side door of my van after going to get a part. I tripped over something and landed sideways and rolled my foot over. Stepping hill hospital have given me an xray, aircast plastic boot,and crutches to repair my fractured cuboid and no 5 metatarsal bone. Is there anything you guys recommend that can speed up healing from experience? Am told to do nothing lie on the settee but elevate it. Regards Simon

Ok boys and girls just a quick couple of questions. As you know I bought the spare engine for the FJR and it's just sitting in the garage minding it's own business. What I want to do is ask how can I keep the internals from turning into great rusty lumps of iron till I get round to dealing with it? I was thinking of refilling it with fresh oil, none in it at the moment, and just turning it over every few weeks to make sure there is at least the bare minimum of oil spread around the engine to stop it getting too dry inside but that's ok for most of the engine but what about the bores and seals that are above the oil line? It's not what you could call user friendly in that …

Hello guys be great if someone helps me fix my problem I just recently bought a Dt125r with a problem with the headlight and back light not working thought would be easy but can't figure out what's wrong I've studied a wiring diagram and have noticed the headlight runs from the stator? But my stator seems fine as bike starts etc without battery connected . The loom that is kn the bike is a 3rm I was just wondering if this is the right loom or do I need a 3bn? If it is right any ideas to figure out what's wrong?

Hi guys I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I could get a Yamaha rs 125 dx seat from as I cannot find one any where, new to the forum by the way! Thanks in advance Guys

Hi. I am having a devil of a time finding a kick start lever for my old yami. It runs great and I'd hate to have to retire it. Its a 1982 XT200. Any suggestions?

Hi all, This is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right! But I was hoping to seek advice with an issue I have with my 2002 Dt 125. The bike was in full road worthy condition in January but was taken off the road for the rest of winter so it could receive some needed attention (re-sprayed fuel tank, sandblasted parts etc). Now it's coming into summer I've rebuilt the bike, everything appeared to be fine (bike started first kick!!) but I've lost all electrics controlled on the handlebars (all headlights, side light, indicators and horn). Electrics is not my strong point and I've done my best with a multi meter to diagnose any obvious issues but found nothing. I'v…

Nowad.............

Has anyone had a Yamaha Dragstar stolen in Leeds/Bradford area. Burnt orange colour, chrome mirrors. Possibly 64 plate. Bike spotted racing through Calverley then I have seen it 4 times between 5.45am and 6.45am in Harrogate Road/Greengates area of North Bradford. Three males in tracksuits on the bike, no crash helmets revving it engine off making it backfire. One of them is filming themselves racing around on the bike. I have reported it to West Yorkshire Police. Phone 101 and quote log 314.

Hi all, I am trying to find out if it is possible to obtain an EU certificate of conformity for a Fazer 600 1998 from Yamaha? I am trying to register my Fazer here in France, has anyone had experience of this with a bike that is 19 years old? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I know this is not something we normally do on here (Politics) and I'm NOT having a shout about what happened but quite a lot of our folks on here come from Manchester and the surrounding area, are you all ok? and is there anything we can do to help? Stay safe out there.

Hey guys, Ive been following this page for a good while now and finally decided to become a member. My names Colm, 23 and Im an XVS125 Owner, and this my first bike (Hoping to jump up to at least a 250 soon). Recently my xvs has been acting up and i was wondering if i could get some help? Sorry in advance for the long post or if i call something by the wrong name, I'm new to most of this. I just got the bike back from the mechanic after getting my tippets adjusted, carbs cleaned, oil changed ect and he informed me i would need a new starter motor. So being a broke student and already after pumping so much money into this bike i decided to take on the job …
