Hey guys, me again. I'm trying to find this indicator lens/unit, as this is the set I have on my bike, only I'm having a bit of trouble finding it available to buy not as part of a wholesale. I have bought this indicator as an interim replacement, but if I can actually find the lens to the unit I have, that'd be great. Is it an idea to ask in a Yamaha dealer to see if they can get hold of it? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Arrrrrrrgh, started at 6, bossman, 'get going you need to get there'. Yeah right, arrived at just after 10, load not ready till after 4 oclock ferchrisakes earliest. Boooooooooo!

Hello was stopped and given a nip for doing an illegal u turn a few weeks back and have just got round to paying online when I done this I realised 2 mistakes regarding my registration number online there is a u instead of a v and an r instead of z does this void the ticket? Thanks for the help.

hi guys got myself an xj6n im somewhat tarting up and looking to get the headlight cowling and belly pan(the standard factory fit black one) colour matched. my concern is the belly pan and whether the paint job will last.. its a pearl white paint so gonna cost me £100 to get done so don't want to spent that much money if if its just gonna get pitted and destroyed by debris after 6 months ,anybody had a belly pan sprayed before? did it stand up to the rigours of the elements?? ....cheers

Well peeps, we had a bit of a scene at Cosford today. walking down to work in a group of about 7-8 people this morning, some kitchen-porter (renowned tosser on camp) on a YBR125 comes though the gate about 30mph (15mph speed limit), cuts the corner at the junction doing the same speed before hitting a bit of gravel and skidding off out of site around the side of the hangar, about 10 seconds later we hear him shouting at the top of his lungs and thinking the rider was in pain we went around to help out, only to find the bike laying on its side with the guy storming around ripping his kit off and kicking his helmet across the road, then picking the bike up and cranking …

Hello again, Can some one help, when starting the bike ticks over quite nicely at about 7-8000 but as soon as she warms up its ticking over at 15-17000, i know the bike is 15 yrs old and the carbs may be a little "used" but is there anything i can do to help cure this?

Stopped for a few quick pictures on Spooky Hollow Road here in Ontario, roads are still sandy from the Winter but all in all a great ride!

I bought some fork seals around six months ago, their here somewhere but can't find them & looking for them I found things I had, I didn't know I had and have bought again. I've had to reorder more fork seals, bet they'll turn up once the new ones arrive. I think i'll have to start an inventory, must be my age as I always used to know what I had & where it was or maybe I just need to stop buying stuff until I really need it.

went to Brid on my little 125 yesterday with hubby, and i said to him as we parked up, hope i don't stall on the way out as its a steep hill from the harbour car park! Anyway walked round had the usual fish chips and a cuppa! Got back to the bikes to see a chap on a brand new 125 bike, not sure what make, had all saddlebags, screen etc, he got halfway up the said hill and......stalled! I really felt for him as he kept trying to get it going, his mate behind on a 1300 Suzuki shouting * " what gear you in you plonker" he ignored him but tried again, by this time 3 bikers sat on the wall stood up and started clapping and jeering, i whizzed round after sitting on my bike and …

Could anyone suggest which indicators I can get for my YBR? front and back.. Cheers

Hi, My Divvy has single front disk brake which doesn't seem very good at all. I've tried bleeding it which helped in that the lever no longer has the spongy feel as before but stopping power is still pretty ineffective compared with other machine I've ridden. Last time I took her in for an MOT I asked them to check the front disk and pads and was told nothing wrong (well I suppose they must have worked well enough to pass the MOT). Is this a common complaint do you know? I assume that's the reason that they upgraded later production models to twin disks at the front. Also I'm experiencing an alarming tendency of the rear wheel to lock up with only moderate …

hi all just passed my A2 test and i have been doing some researching on a bike that takes my fancy a Yamaha TRX850 Age 19-20 - 47 bhp max: the A2 licence. This is where the rules become slightly complex. From the age of 19, you are permitted to take an A2 test (which must be taken on a bike of at least 395cc, with a power output of between 25kW/33bhp and 35kW/47bhp). If you don't already hold an A1 licence you will need to do a CBT beforehand, as always, and pass a theory test, before you take the practical test. Upon passing, the rider is restricted to bikes with a limit of 35kW/47bhp and a power-to-weight ratio of no more than 0.2kW/0.26bhp per kg, for two years. The …

hello. have been popping in and keeping an eye on things. not been up to much in way of bikes or life really. have had a few shite weeks so been head down sorta thing. but light at end of tunnel now.

Having a look tomorrow at one of the older DT`s..not sure yet what year this is but its got the old style clocks. Actually really like the styling on this one. Didn`t really want another DT as I have 2 already, but cant pass up an oldie like this.

Hello everyone, It's been a while. I still have four DT's, but progress on complete restoration of som, and engine rebuilds on the complete bikes has been slow due to me buying a house 12 months ago. I sold the RS 200 and TTR 250 before buying the house. So I've not ridden much recently either... So I have decided to fix this by buying a YB 100!! I've justified this by saying its a Christmas present for my new girlfrirend. :-) It's got six months MOT and looks tidy. I'm picking it up tonight. I'd post pisctures, but i'm lazy, so here's the ebay link chaps... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-YB100-Deluxe-Motorcycle-100cc-/221623728854?ssPageName=STRK%3…

Hi Just as a general query, anyone on here had much hassle from parking tickets off private parking management companies? I've had one or two in the past but now they seem to appear all over the place and I've seen lots of people mistakenly paying them. Mine go straight in the bin of course as they aren't official PCN's! Any ridiculous / petty stories out there? Cheers Dom
