I'm new to motorised 2 wheels and have recently acquired a YBR 125 custom to practice on before I go for Direct Access. The only thing that bugs me is the poor rear vision from my miirrors. Now you may say that its because the YBR is naff or its because I'm not used to cycle mirrors but I dont think the view is good at all. I can see well to the rear left and rear right but if the mirrors were a little longer I'm sure the rear view would be better. Is there anything I can do to improve this? thanks

Hi Guys, I'm new here. Just wondering if someone can help me out, I have a 2011 Yamaha XT 125 X & have a problem with it, When the engine is warm & you leave it for say 10 seconds, then give it a little blip on the throttle, the revs suddenly drop & sometimes it even cuts out, When I bought it new, It was running very weak, So I richened it up & seems to run smoother, But have had this problem with it since new. I have only done 700 miles on it, I have turned the mixture screw again even further out, But still seems weak, The screw is now fully turned out, I'm thinking it needs a bigger pilot jet in, (As it is a tickover/bottom end related issu…

Hi I am a new here and a new rider and a new yamaha owner. I just bought my first bike couple of days ago and while I waited for the insurance documents to arrive, I noticed that the tyre pressure in the rear tyre has gone down. The tyre is not flat, but it isn't inflated as the front tyre either? I don't have an air pump. What should I do? - walk the bike to the petrol station 0.4 miles away to check if it's a puncture or just the air leaked out. If so, how and where should I walk the bike? sidewalk or on-road? Do I need to be wearing a helmet while walking the bike? - since I haven't got the insurance documents yet, I don't have a 'breakdown cover' …

Hey folks. I’m just getting myself back into biking and have bought a DT125R (2001) to start off. The bike has been stripped of all road parts for full time off road use. When I bought it I was told the power valve does not open/close, and has been set mid way. Apparently this is because some part of the electrics &/or the battery has been removed (there is no battery). When I first got the bike this was fine, but now I would like more low/high range power to do jumps etc. Can anyone help me restore the power valve to open and close automatically as it should? Any help/advice appreciated

Just acquired a 1994 FZR600R in what I think is referred to as Cocktail white. The top of the tank is purple and then there is a grean stripe and then pearl white. There are a couple of scratches on the purple bit of the tank. Any idea where I can get touch up paint from at a sensible price as trying to clean this up on a low budget!! Cheers all

Hi As the title says I am thinking about a trickle charger to keep the battery charged up when it comes to the more winter type weather, as at the moment I am using regularly anyway, the bike has an alram so I am sure I am going to need something come the winter. Was wondering if any one had tried one of those small solar panels that are designed to keep a battery topped I had one that I used in an old Volkswagen Type 2 van due tot the alarm and the radio memory draining the battery in about two four weeks and that worked ok for that, not sure if it would work for a bike? The problem I have with a plug in charger is that to get electricity to where the bike is k…
