If like myself you view the forums on a "i" device then you will know most forums aren't native to iPhone unlike the YOC so I'm sure many of you would want to avoid using the IPboard app (advertised on the YOC) so what may help you is to create your own "app" so first what you should do is: 1.open safari 2.load YOC (if you just type in yamahaclub into the navigation bar it will add in the www. And the .com for you) 3.in the bottom navigation bar there will be 5 icons tap the middle and a menu should appear then click add to homescreen. 4.now to check the if the link works just tap the icon and presto your away If your unaware this also saves Internet usag…

Hello. This bike has had a slide at some point and had it's fairings removed and a headlight conversion. As you can see, the instrument cluster still looks like it needs to be inside a fairing, but (I think) the naked look is great otherwise. I need help: Can the cluster be swapped out for one more befitting a naked bike? What other options are there without adding any screens? Help!

As some of you may know I tried fruitlessly to send a large tent to Haiti after watching some harrowing footage on the tv news, it turns out the tent cant be sent there, so instead I'd like to raise some money for an organisation called http://www.shelterbox.org/, they are based in Cornwall England and are involved in the relief effort in Haiti as well as many other areas of major disaster around the world. At the end of the fundraiser one person will be drawn out of the hat and I will send the tent to them, or I can send it on to 'a group' of their choosing (please visit the link below), so for every £2 you donate you have a better chance of becoming the 'patron…

Hi all, Bit of a random little question really. I have recently completed my CBT and (when funds allow) am going going to take my theory test. Now I dont particularly want to spend £600 on a 4 day course to complete my bike liscence. With the Module 1, there are plenty of videos posted on YouTube including ones from the DSA, would you think (with a bit of background research) it would be possible to practice these by yourself and take the Module with no training on my Yamaha SR 125? Also, its the same question for Module 2. What manouvres are involved like the car test? I know of the U-turn (although isnt this in Module 1?). I have been riding for 3 years (albeit…

Hi im trying to find pictures of my uncles old bike. He passed away a few years ago and i would like to find pictures of the bike he once had. It was a feature in either performance bikes or Super Bike Magazines, i think this was around 92-95. It was the fastest bike around at the time. It had an fzr 1000 motor fitted inside a 0w01 750 frame and a single sided swing arm from an nc30 i think, it also had a distinctive custom paint job with the Vance & Hines colours. The bike was called (THE BASTARD) If you saw the bike in the magazine you would for sure remember it. Thanks Scott

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Stuff like that I'm assuming they wont work as good as a jacket with armour, but are they good as a little bit more protection on the front/back/kidney if worn underneath a jacket? Or are they just gimmicky crap aimed at boy racers? Any help at all is great

Hi everyone. I just joined today. I' Jim, did my cbt a week or 2 ago and bought '10 ybr125 as a runaround/commuter, got it because they've a reputation as pretty reliable and user friendly and i hopefully won't be able to get into to much trouble on it whilst i get used to 2 wheels and an engine. I hope to do my proper test in the next year or so and maybe get an older bike as well as a project and to use on sunny days once i've been riding a couple years(maybe a little 2 stroke i think). I'm not entirely up to speed with using forums but thought i'd say hey and introduce myself, i've already found some usefull advice on here and my only contribution back at the minute ca…
