Whats everyones thoughts on yamaha ad their new colour on the bike?

I have a yamaha DT200WR that i aqquired recently. I have seen a couple on the road. I was wondering if anyone on here had ever registered a bike with the DVLA and put it on the road. If so, do you have any tips of how to go about it and what to do. If i cant get anything on here ill contact the DVLA but im sure ill get alot more sense out of you guys than those guys! I've ordered a wiring loom to get a light at the back. Will try and fit DT125 parts to it (numberplate holder, light etc). Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I had a crash the other day when a woman knocked me over at a roundabout when she did not indicate although she insists otherwise fooking muppet!! The only damage luckily is a bent gear lever but i cant seem to get the bike into 2nd 3rd or 4th gear at all as a result, i fitted a new cluth cable a couple of months ago. Is it possible it knocked the gears in gearbox out of synch and if so what can i do about it? Any help gratefully recieved! Terry.

Hi All, A question can you help out ? I have a job to do for work which includes on line access from the public, so after deliberation I felt that using pre written software may help me learn how the underlying tables are written Tech over I have added a forum site (within my interest Yamaha) to see how things are done so if you could head over there and just add something so I can see how things are added to the tables it would be a bonus so the url is The Link I must say that this site is just there for development of my work. Give it a go Regards Jim

What happened to speedo cables with an outer and an inner with two knurled knobs, one at each end? The SV speedo has decided to pack up. Common fault, normally the rotor or the sensor. so either £21 or £120 to fix. I guess both plus VAT I just hope something was not clicked in when I had the wheels off for the tyres a few weeks ago. So front wheel off today and a quick lube to get set for Lincoln tomorrow.

hoping to sort out some kind of cruise up to lincoln bike fest. im in leicester let me know if interested i am on a 125 so no motorways

Hello, I have L plates front and back. I have seen many bikes with only L plates on the rear of the bike. What does Mr Plod think about this, is it legal? or can i remove my front L plate? It'll look much nicer with it off. Thanks

I think I need a clutch for my Fzr 600, its right on the end on the bars lever adjustment , the clutch doesnt slip and is still smooth but when I put into to first it sometimes stalls, and its seems to be getting worse , i took it out last week and stopped at the lights , neutral, I put into first and it stalled with a warm engine and it seeemd like an age before it started again but probally only seconds but I cant have it stalling everytime I go into to first side stand is up so it not the switch, is there anything else I need to check before I part with my cash and where is good place for a cheap clutch kit , if I am going to have a new clutch I want springs,…
