Hi sir, Is there's a compatible block for my dt50(with radiator) that can be used as a replacement? Like higher CC, i've spent so much time and money but cannot fix the engine of my bike. What i want is to retain the engine case(bearing serial no.) for registration purposes and replace the block that is compatible with the transmission. Tyvm Jero

Hi there hope you're all well, hopefully someone can help me with a problem. I have got an annoying judder when I slow down and I'm riding in a lower gear. Bike runs fine when I'm in the top gear and riding but as soon as I slow down and in a lower gear there is a juddering sensation and also a rattling noise. I'm hoping someone on here has had the same problem and had a fix. Thanks

Hi everyone I made a big mistake with YBR injector model basically before I got my A license I had the YBR and wanted more power like u do. I purchased a engine with the big bore fitted to it and sold my old engine. But once fitted the bike keeps jerking when ridding and idle the reve counter jumping. I know now that the big bore is not ideal for the injector models. can anyone help me or give a stupid YBR owner advice please.

Just as the scaffolding got taken away now I'm worried sick about something else. On Friday evening I was sat at home with the door open. I have 5 cats so if the weather is not too bad I leave it open so they can come and go. I'm sat there on the pc when all of a sudden the cats come charging into the house followed by a Jack Russel and a Staffy. I jumped up and shouted get these f'ing dogs out of my house. They ran out and by the time I put my trainers on and went out one cat was in the my garden in a dogs mouth. He managed to get away and thank God he come back 20 minutes later unharmed. A few gardens down the other dog had hold of another of my cats. He managed to brea…

I know its not motorcycles but my laptop died last week. Mr fixit changed the duf hard drive (don't keep anything on it I'm not bothered about losing). But Mr fixit convinced me to go for some upgrades, a 250G SSD. Fk me! Fast!, I shit you not from stone cold off to ready to post on YOC in seconds, windows is up and running from cold in under 5. No whizzy noises either, its silent save for the cooling fan and that's only when gaming. everything happens so quick its ridiculous. Very much recommended.

What a shit site that is. , awash with spam, etc, and now its down again,,,,crap.

Its tomoroow for me, looks to be the best day for weather. Not much on the shopping list this year, cant be much ive not got. On the list though, are knee sliders, PlusGas (if its still made), WD40, maybe a decent pair of short gloves, and anything that takes my fancy.

Just spotted this forum. I've just ordered my first Yamaha and collect it next week. I'm a clubman motocrosser that's only just got back into racing after 9 years of cycling...which didn't fulfill the buzz I needed. So a 17my Yz450f is being prepped with a few extras. Thought joing this would be wise as these fuel injected bikes with attachable tuning computers aren't as simple as an auld 2 smoker used to be...hope I don't need to much help if any.

When I got home from work tonight I planned on a nice relaxing evening and an early night. How fucking wrong was I! Come home to find scaffolding erected on my house. I automatically phoned the landlord and he doesn't have a clue. So I asked all the neighbours on the street, the next street and the next street up. No one has any idea. My bedroom windows were open so I could of easily been burgled. I know I'm probably overreacting and it's just probably a mix up but you know me, now I'm thinking some gypsies are going to turn up on my door demanding cash! The scaffolding looks shoddy, no company sign or any identifying features. It doesn't even look safe. I've just had to …

Afternoon all hope you are all well. Just after a bit of advice regarding the cost of services and new tyres. I have a diversion xj6 and have had it for about 6 months now and have racked up 6000 miles, yes a lot of commuting!!!!!! I have booked in for a service and they have quoted me £195 for this. Is this about average? Also the bike came with Battalax tyres, not sure how new they were, and I have now done 6000 miles so they need a change as the steering feels a bit funny. The quote they gave me for these tyres is £268 for the pair!! Again is this about right? Do you have any recommendations for good commuting tyres? Thanks again D

So a few months ago I got myself my first "click type" torque wrench, loved the thing. And me being the stupid prat I am I got it out just now to torque up my brake caliper bolts and managed to wind the fucking thing past the 0 mark. Only by a little bit, but I still want to know if I should really worry about the accuracy of the wrench much, I wouldn't think it matters a whole lot, it's practically a brand new wrench, only used a hanfull of times. Any thoughts?

l picked this up at the weekend, the end result of a 10 year search. A 2005 F4, they are uber rare here in Canada as MV have only started being sold directly recently. One owner before me 4690kms never seen rain, i havent had a chance to take it out for a proper airing yet as its been pissing down for the most part since i got home.

Hey, so I have had a broken jaw for 2 weeks now, first week I was riding my bike as A&E told me is was just bruised, my got putting the helmet on hurt, which of course because jaw is broken! Im going to call doctors tomorrow ask them, but surly my helmet shouldn't affect my jaw after 2 weeks, it might push it very slightly but shouldn't put too much pressure on it now right? I need to get out! sick of sitting in my room eating yogurts and soup! Get the metal plates and stuff out of my mouth in 3 weeks.

Had a wee ride out out today and ended up here, albeit I could have sworn I was travelling in a South Westerly direction

First of all is like to say hi to everyone as this is my first post, in looking for advice if possible about a used xmax 125 2012, it's done 20000 miles so quite high but says it's had clutch, belt, rollers etc done, I was wondering if anyone else could tell me about the reliability of the xmax as 20000 seems quite high on a 125. any thoughts welcome, price is £1500 thanks all, Chris

Posted a while back when i had just got my Yamaha YBR Custom, got my CBT yesterday and had my first ride out on the road today. Did a whole circuit around Loch Ness, lived right next to it all my life but I still found 60 miles of roads with stunning views i never even knew existed before today! If cruising is your thing then it's definitely i must ride before you die.

So peeps, just pulled the plug on the DT to have a look-see after this weekend. Not done a proper plug chop but considering the way I've been riding it (hard) I'd say it's a decent indicator. Comparing it to charts online I'd say it's OK but wanted some more experienced opinions? Cheers! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
