    Hi. My name is Simon. I'm 32 and live in Norfolk with my fiancee Marcia and 19 month old daughter Maisie. I have been riding for 3 years. I have just sold my GPZ500S and I am going to be looking for an SR125 at the end of the month as it's cheaper to run, tax, insure etc and we have another child on the way. Basically I just need to do 16 miles per day as cheaply as possible. The SR was the bike I did my cbt on and I really enjoyed riding it so I figure why not buy one. IF anyone has one coming up for sale, or knows of one that will be, from the first week of June onwards, then let me know. I should have roughly £6-700 to spend but as time goes on I'll have more cash...no…

    .....I'm new, not only on here but to Yam's, 2 strokes and rebuilding/spannering, so go easy with me. Since buying a 1979 dt 175 mx as winter project last year things haven't moved on that well, down to the fact that just about every part on it was knackered, tonight I discovered the the loom and wiring is well past it's best and will probably need another, anyone know where I might get one? along with a bottom yoke, original exhaust and throttle cable/assembly - for starters. So far have had frame powder coated and new piston and rebore - that's it, well apart from picking up a few bits' to go on once it's ready to go back together. thanks and if virtual drinks are…

  6. Started by Mario V,

    Hello all, First of all I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Mario is the name and I am a proud owner of an 2008 MT-03. This is my first "large" bike and my bike before that was an Yamaha XT125 which got stolen unfortunately. I love riding but with lovely weather lately I was unable to take the bike for a spin for long time. Of course my battery died and after hours of frustration as the battery is under the petrol tank I got the bike working last night. I had a big smile on my face riding it for 30 minutes although some issues did appear: 1. Burning smell (I presume is safe but you never know) 2. My Oxford heated grips switched on and then died and t…

    hello all !! Im new to this forum thingy but Ive got a 86 Yamaha FZ600 bike that some asshole previous owner really screwed up.. It seems he used excessive amounts of silicone on the face of the cam cover which squeezed inside and ended up in the oil pump intake in the crankcase, clogging it, restricting the oil flow and now causing the crank, cams and head to get screwed. 2 of the main bearings have spun and so has one of the rod bearings which has mostly fallen apart causing the rod to be loose and rattle (the reason i originally tore the engine apart) Ive now got a crank, two cams and a head that are scratched beyond sensible use and a bunch of worn ou…

    Hi all, new to the forums here so I thought I'd introduce myself. I recently bought an XS400 DOHC project on eBay for £100. Complete, but hadn't run for six years so I reckoned it was worth a shot. Having got the beast home, and had a poke around, it wasn't that bad really. It's all there, but the tax disc says 2001 which gives a clue as to when it was last used. The fusebox had some issues: But that was fixed with an MG Midget one from eBay: (I have since fitted the correct fuses) There were barnacles under the filler cap: And as expected, once I got the carbs off I found this inside: Still, nothing that could…

    I just want to introduce myself. I Live in Montana, and I am once again getting back on a bike. It's been years, and this is the first time with a two stroke. I have ordered the Clymer service manual so I am looking forward to getting that. I do however have a question, if anyone may have the info for me. What weight of oil do I put in the transmission? I don't know how much is in there and obviously I don't fry it, also, I have no idea how old the oil is . Thanks!
