    Hi everyone, Just thought i would say hi as i have just registered here. I have recently bought my first on-road bike - a 1999 DT125r (in need of a little TLC and tidying up), and am hoping this is the right place to come for any advice/info i may need! I have been into offroad bikes for a while now, and fancied something i can green lane on and commute in the better weather! Looking forward to getting chatting to you all. Cheers, Mark

    Hello all. New here, so please pardon my ill manners if this isn't the right place for this. Nothing much to say at this point than just introduce myself after joining and sitting a bit. Haven't actively ridden in more years than I care to think about (pre-kids). However, my daughter got her learner's permit a little while back, so I'll be trying to resurrect an old CT3 of mine and my brother's '91 FZR600 so that I can teach her to ride this summer. (Biggest lesson- unless things have changed, everyone on the road wants to kill you, so paranoia is just good sense.) I used to practically live on two wheels, so am looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I'm am…

    Hi there i thought i would introduce myself to you all. I have a D reg Yamaha RXS 100 that is in a bit of a state at the moment after beeing stood for a long time. The bike has only done 7k & runs very well with a substitute washing up liquid petrol tank. Petrol tank resembles something you would strain sundays veg with. The front & rear mudguards are see through. The clutch will not release when lever pressed in. Battery was very dead and bone dry. Tyres have plenty of tread & sidewalls seem ok too , But aim to replace. Seat surprisingly has no rips or tears . I look forward to chatting to some of you whilst i find parts and rebuild…

    Hi all. Just a quick chat really, very busy like most. Im new to Yamahas, Ive had mine, a 2003 xj900 divvy since end of june 07. Shes been pretty reliable with just a faulty throttle sensor switch over the past 27000 miles, yes I did say 27000 miles.I bought her for the job and shes done me proud, I got 19000 miles out of a front tire! Avon storm st. Ive been to the four corners of the country and on some occasions been to 2 in the same day. The only issues I have with her is the top heavyness of her and the sloppy forks on country lanes. Apart from that A grand bike with reliability and capacity to carry. Does any one have any tips for this bike? All are welcome.

    Hi to all, as I have just aquired a FZR 400 to do up which I must admit is rather enjoyable, so I though it prudent to join a good club, as I might have to call for help, I am knocking on a bit, but in my youth, my bikes were the 350 ypvs and RD 250 and a couple of Yamaha trailies, anyway my round next. Cheers

    Hi to all at the club. I have recently bought a 1988 RD 350 power valve. It has been running OK but recently when off the powervalve 0-6500 rpm it mis fires and there is little power as soon as I get it on the power valve it goes like a rocket. I have removed the carbs, cleaned and reset, I have checked all the ignition side and given it a full service. Some times it drops on to one cylinder gor 4 miles or so then comes back on. I cant seem to cure the problem. I am not sure if it needs a de-coke or if there is something else I should be looking at. Can anyone shine some light for me and point me in the right direction. My local dealer has all th…
