    Hi, I'm new to this forum.. I don't where to put this topic so I just post it here. I have a yamaha jupiter z. Its a single cylinder, 4 stroke moped with 110cc at stock. But I have tuned it a little. I bored up the cylinder block to 167cc and change the cylinder head squish with bigger valve. Now I have a problem on the camshaft tuning. The cam profile before was 70-50/80-60. While using this cam, my motorcycle didn't have power after 6000 or 7000 RPM (I don't know for sure because there was no tachometer in this motorcycle) Then I reshaped it into 70-50/70-60. The power around 6000 or 7000 rpm is better but still don't have enough power to reach 8000 RPM. Do anyone h…

    Hi guys, Im after some more valuble advice from you guys out there. I have a Fazer 600 s late 2008 model, its been run in, nearly 3500 miles already, but now i seem to be getting a lot of vibration through the seat when i hit between 57 mph and 66 mph. After, and before these speeds no vibration at all, very comfortale riding. The vibration is coming up through the seat area, very nice if your a woman im sure, but not for me. Any ideas out there on what it can be? Ideas that have already been thrown into the pot are, jets may need cleaning, adjusting of jets, injector blocked, injector needs cleaning. Im not mechanical minded on these things but would l…

  6. {{if $formValue}} {$value} {{endif}} Yamaha Racing’s bLU cRU star Galang Hendra Pratama wrapped up his Brno race weekend in supreme style yesterday, ending a weekend of dominant form for the Yamaha Pata | Semakin di Depan | Biblion Motoxracing Team with a stunning victory on the YZF-R3. The race itself was a drama filled spectacle reduced to just seven laps after a red flag two thirds into the round, leaving fellow bLU cRU riders Hugo De Cancellis in 16th, Luca Bernardi in 21st and Dennis Koopman in 23rd. Galang was the man to beat all weekend, and had lost none of his form come race day. Starting from pole position the Indonesian rider was temporarily passed …

Have been busy with work and all but ordered some parts and supplies (cost = 2x what I paid for bike, ebay+paypal=easygo) in preparation along with devising a game plan.Tomorrow the fun begins the weather is going to be unseasonable milt for a few days and I am hoping to clean the tank and carbs, perform tune up, install mufflers and will video results of start up and running (optimistic) and post results.

    Hi I'm Kev, I'm 17, and I own a lovely little YBR125. I've been riding on the road for a little over a year now, and now that I am 17, I will be taking my full test soon. I was wondering what you would all recommend for my next bike. It has to be 400cc or less unfortunately, but hey its better than nothing. I would love to get antoher Yamaha because I just love mine so much, so reliable, never given me any hassle. But there just isn't much choice for 250cc or 400cc bikes where I live (Isle of Wight) and I preferably want a 4 stroke road bike. Any comments will be greatly appreciated . Cheers.
