General

I recently got a 2009 Yamaha FZ6R. It's missing a starter Idler, which I finally found whilst taking the bike apart trying to diagnose why it wouldn't start. I have access to parts from a 2006 R6. So my question is, are the parts Compatible? The part numbers, are all the same except for the first 2 digits, but both parts look identical from a image perspective. Does anyone know if these bikes are compatible though? The 2009 Idler part number is 20S-15512-00, but the R6 part number I want to see if it will fit is 2C0-15512-00... Is there a big difference between 20S and 2C0??? Or will it work? I'm on a budget so if I am able to use the 2C0 on my FZ6R I will be happy savin…

Dear all, could yo please help me. Im trying to register an imported DT. its 1979 model, i have a NOVA for teh bike, it wasnt previously registered in NZ. Bit fo a headache with DVLA forms etc

Good day to y'all. I have a problem. Recently my drag star has fallen ill and won't start up. Battery went flat, got it recharged, tried again... It seems to be turning over, however even with choke opened it seems to be suffocating and cuts off. Managed to get it started at some point and accelerated a bit to keep it revving a bit higher and alive but as soon as released the gas it stalled again. Any ideas what's going on? Bike hasn't moved in last two months, before all was fine. Is it just me needing new battery or problem is a lot deeper? Thanks in advance RaySin

Does anyone know where flasher unit is for indicators, doing my head in also any links to a manual for one,grey import

Good evening, everyone. As I sit and look through window, seeing all the frost and snow coming down the sky, I started questioning myself... 1) where the heck do I get proper owners manual for my new lady? (I have found some PDF files online, but looking for something more like Haynes manuals, Amazon failed miserably to provide me with one) 2) Regarding chain - how do you know when it's too dry and she needs a bit of lubrication before we have some fun? 3) Feeding - when I feed her, will she say when it's enough? (When tank is full, will the pump stop like it does with cars, or it's more like spoon feeding and I have to keep an eye on her so she…

Hi Everyone Hoping someone can suggest ideas to help solve a problem that's driving me mad. THE PROBLEM: The bike starts and idles (initially needs choke). After a few minutes, she's warming to the touch and is happy to idle without choke but her revs drop away if throttle is applied, sometimes to the point where she actually dies. By feathering and twitching the throttle I can raise her revs past this baulking point but she repeats the baulk on throttling until I've done this a few times, sometimes with a bit of a backfire. It can take a good 5-10 minutes of idling and fiddling before she's rideable and it's not clear whether it's simply the warming up tha…

Hi all, You may have already read, but a few weeks ago the server which YOC is on was hacked, although YOC was unaffected, I had to roll back to a week old backup to remove the malware. The issue with malware is that you don't know how long it has been sat dormant before being triggered, if it was loaded into memory, if any core operating files were affected etc and the only thing to do to which ensures the malware is removed is to deploy a new server and re-install everything from scratch. This has now been done, and to reduce the chance of this happening again YOC's server is now completey isolated from some of the other sites I had. The good news is…

Hi Alex, Somethings happened to the site, all the recent posts have gone and the pages have reverted back to an earlier date. I'm unable to PM you as that option is not available on my level of access. so i thought this was the best way to notify you, hope you read it.

Hello I am Dave this is my first time posting here so please forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section . I am looking for a bit of advice really . I am not a mechanic but can do basic repairs so please bear with me . I recently decided to have a ride on my 2010 ybr 125 cc last time i used it was about 3 years ago so I was going to take it for a MOT so that I could give it to my son to get to work or just to go to the shops on etc. when i put the bike away it was fine however when i got the bike out today i noticed the gear selector which you lift up or down with your foot to select the gears was in the wrong position. I put my foot underneath it to lift it up …

Hi all, long time no speak. I am reconditioning a second hand YBR engine and it does run. I suspect something isnt right with either the piston or the valves as its a bit tappy. I have taken the head apart and the valve springs are slightly different, but in the Haynes manual and the workshop manual they are supposed to be the same length. can anybody knowledgeable tell me which way round the valve springs go. one is slightly longer by about 5mm, and the other is slightly fatter by about 2 or 3mm. or perhaps I should just get new springs? Any help greatfully appreciated.
