Hey guys i was just wondering if any of you have used Wemoto.com? if so what was your experiance like? e.g deliver times, after sales etc. I just bought a set of new main jets for the carbs but i feared i got too bigger size, so i e-mailed the chap at wemoto n he said for me to return them and he will send the next size i asked for with no questions asked! i ordered them on the monday and i had them by the wednesday so im well happy with there delivery times. Very friendly and very quick at replying to e-mails, and i cant fult there web site, so easy to use and they have a good selection of stuff for the bike too, could have more stuff for the XVS but atleast the s…

Ok so i bought a bike a few months back, just an offroader for use in the lanes Was sold as a Dt125, but my mate says its not a DT, maybe a YZ? His dad recons its neither, possibly an IT? There are no lights, but there is a bracket for a footstand. My mate says the shocks and discs are not from a DT as they are larger than usual. The engine reads 'Yamaha 3BN' then 'Y-3' on the head. Does this mean anything? Or do i need to find a chassis number etc.. I'm a complete ammatuer when it comes to bikes... as you can tell lol I need to know what bike/engine i have as i need to buy a head gasket. Thanks in advance

Got my new Special mocked-up the other day....... thinkin' a Wheelie-Bar might in order here? .......

After a few months on my SV650, im wishing for more top end grunt for overtakes and the like, and something that looks/feels a bit sportier.... So the SV is off on saturday, and on monday im hoping to be picking up this : And whoever at Yam decided to name it THUNDERCAT was a legend! Literally the coolest name for a bike EVER!!!!

Just rode the bike into work this morning and MY GOD!!!!!! nasty, frosty, numb, snotty running snout, BRRRRR!!!! but apart from that and a few little niggaly probs with the bike it was a nice ride lol

I was in touch with a mate a few days ago and kind of approached the subject of taking a week off from the rat race and doing a bit of touring around the emerald isle to visit a few mates and generally have a good old time. Needless to say he took me up on the offer {what more could you ask for good roads, friendly locals, and proper guinness not to mention some of the grub}. I was kind of thinking about the trip today and It suddenly dawned on me that I’m absolutely useless at figuring out what I need to take with me {don’t get me wrong I’ve got it right sometimes and got it biblically wrong on other occasions}. Hence why I’m asking this question to everybody …

Hi, woundering if somebody could help me out, i have recently bought a dtr 125 07 , the starter motor had gone on it so i took it to a shop to be repaired and he said it was beyond repairable. So i bought one Second hand off ebay , 100 quid . I fitted the starter motor, it fired no problem , took it out for a ride then stopped for 5 minutes for a quik break tried starting and it wouldnt work. Sounds like its spinning but nothing else. Tried it a few minites later it worked :s but now its not working then working then not etc. i dont know why the bike is eating starter motors, any help would be appriciated, thanks scott.

I was wondering if you can fit a yz125 gearbox into a xt125r? Need a bit more speed out of my bike

Hi, I am trying to get hold of a YBR start button (literally just the plastic part) as mine fell off and landed some where on the road. My local yamaha dealer will only sell me the whole unit which is something ridiculus like £50. I thought it was maybe possible to get one from a breakers but im not sure where to start. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Travis
