The Bar

Ok so I have a 1977 Yamaha Dt 400... I'm looking to buy a manual for it, I found one but it says on the cover that it's for a Dt 400 (d) and I have been led to believe that mine is a Dt 400 mx?? The book still seems to be based on the 400cc engine and the monoshock... Question is will it work?? This is my frame incase anyone can tell what it is from the photo This is the cover of the manual

Hey guys So my RH indicators flashing faster than my left.. heres what i did. * Replaced Indicators altogether - RH side still Blinking faster * Intermittently when I use the Hazzard lights (both LH & RH flash in unison) it shorts my indicating system and i have to restart my bike to fix it. * If the Hazards don't short out both the LH & RH blink at the correct speed when using the hazards.. Any ideas???

What ya reckon Foamy ! I found these bikes all parked up in an underground car park.

Hi all just passed my test A2 so will be restricted to 33bhp been trying bikes out, im a bit tall so need a slightly higher bike the usual 600 just dont fit. The tdm 900 feels just right, can anyone tell me how eay it is to restrict and what is the best way to go about it.

Having joined the forum whilst trying to glean some info on running issues with my boys sr125, I have obviously read through a lot of postings. It turned out it was a problem with the cdi unit on my boys bike and a helluva lot of posts seem to involve faulty units. So, are these units better than points ignition (for the younger forumeers, points were an archaic form of achieving the spark at the correct time), or are they now showing to present their own problems. Bearing in mind a new set of points was about 2 quid and I have paid £40 on 2 occasions for a 20 year old cdi unit for his bike. Any thoughts

Hi All, Hope i am in the right spot for this question... My 2002 1100 v-star with 12k ...just bought 2 weeks ago..

I have put 600 mile on it and i keep thinking it me....It doesn't do it all the time..well let me know what you guys think Chuck

Going to be saying goodbye to my trusty wee Fazer 600 which I've thoroughly enjoyed throughout the even more satisfying 2 year restricted cc period (yeah, right) which is now over . I commute daily and use my bike when out visiting patients as part of my job. I really like the look of the TDM 900 as both a daily sommuter and occasional tourer. Was just keen to hear any thoughts on the bike as I'm unfamiliar with it and whether you'd recommend any accessories to enhance the experience ?? As always, cheers in advance

is 25000 miles classed as high mileage on a bike ??

looking for a manual for a 2006 ybr 125 ?

Riding home from work today behind some chump on a BMW who : 1. Didn't acknowledge a single driver for pulling in to let him past - and there were a few and 2. When I happened to end up sitting on his wing at the next set of traffic lights - I looked over to give a wee nod - ignorant git didn't even turn his head :madflame: What is up with some bikers ???? I know we can all have a bad day and would gladly kick everything in sight while on 2 wheels but I've passed so many bikers recently who are either legally blind and don't see me or must suspect I've killed their dog & slept with their wife - or is itt the other way round? Rant over ! Som…

i currently own a yamaha r6, any its due to be serviced, i was speaking to a mechanic a cuple of months ago and he told me that i should only use a genuine yamaha oil filter and i wanted to use a k&n oil filter. so can anybody tell me any truth in this or not, or any reasons why? thanks

speaking to some of the other bikers at my work, and it turns out one of them is gonna lose his licence. had 9 points for previous affences, and got cought at the weekend usign his phone while on his motorbike! what a tool. to top it all off, his wife was in the back of the bike, and he was texting his bit on the side, and he ended up not getting to see her. ( nae sure if he was joking about that bit or not thow . . .) Matt

Hi everyone , new on here. Does anyone know the cheapest/ easiest way to regester my lc/ypvs hybrid. Cheers Nick.

mine is stretching i think because it is the cheap stock one, what do you think would be the best within a reasonable budget of £40 ? Cheers (think I posted in a topic were im unlikely to get maybe people seeing it )

Hi all New to the forum I'm looking at getting a YBR 125 as my next bike when I turn 17 in January. As a step up from my 50cc scooter! If anyone has got one. What are they like to live with? Also as I'm thinking of doing my full A1 licence. Would the YBR be capable of getting me and my gear over to next years Isle of Mann TT? Thanks Ash
