The Bar

Hello again, I am picking my new ~YBR up on Tuesday, and plan to use it for the odd dry run to work... I need to take folders, paperwork, packed lunch bla bla bla to work with me (bad habbit from having a car for the last 8 years of my life... so I'm thinking I need some sort of top box. from looking on the GIVI website, they don't have my YBR on the 'choose bike find accessories' section. does this mean there are no givi boxes available for my new bike??? Also, when wearing a rucksack on a bike, does it blow around and create drag? (i'm new to riding so a bit confused by it all?)

Hi Guys Been using the new bike for a few weeks now , rain or shine...mostly rain!!! Got unbelievably soaked on Saturday during a 40 minute downpour, but heh I'm using it! However, it didn't help when it died at the lights! thinking it was the rain I was frantically kicking it over much to the amusement of the car drivers behind me, although in the downpour I'm surprised they could actually see me. As I rolled it over to the kerb I noticed the mileometer (odometer if your pedantic ) with 90 miles, I remembered I did zero it when I filled up last, a quick turn of the petcock to reserve and it sprang into life!...and it was still chucking it down. Good old DT…

Hi all, looking for some help..... I got an 84 xj900f that don't spark. Got wiring diagram which is kind of helpfull but doesn't show which is spark no1 2 3 or 4. is 1 on the left as you look down from riders position or on right? Also should the red/white wires be at front of coil or back? thanks.

Hey Folks, As some of you know I've been getting my DT125R ready for a return to the roads, the information I have received here, from various mechanics and also MOT Testers is invaluable. Some parts of this are obvious but others not so much. A quick breakdown of the stuff that is not required for an MOT (My personal case so far!). 1. Lights, If you have even one light connected all of the lights must be connected. However interestingly enough if you were to blank out all of your lights with duct tape or something similar they wouldn't test them anyway... 2. Speedometer, not actually needed for the MOT but it is against the law to not have…

Philip island folks, 1am Uk time. not worth going to bed now

Okay! So as we know I now have a lovely new frame with V5 and my bits are all on the lovely 1999 frame... However I had some worries about the engine as I spoke with on of the previous owners of the bike 2 weeks ago and he said "yeah it's a dt lc engine" as you can imagine I was not amused... Until I phoned Yamaha today!!! 1989 DTR 125 engine (might I add it's been maxed on engine mods barr exhaust). It has a total capacity of 175-180 (not 100% on which, I'm assuming 175 as it's more common). A friend has offered that after getting a new exhaust system on there that he'll put it on the dyno and we can play around with it a little more buwahahaha!!! A…

Hello, im karl, i have recently purchased an fzr 600 genesis 1988. 3HH its history as far as i know is, its been sat in a friends garden undercover for the last 7 years. when he last used it, it had a carb problem but it still run, he stoped using it as he needed a car, i managed to get it for a 100quid, but it needs a complete rebuild, i have been told its an american import because its 3HH. I dont know much about bikes at all, so im hoping by posting my rebuild on here i will get plenty of support from people who know there stuff. here are some pics of the bike.

Have a good one mate. Hope to ride with you again some time soon

Hi there, can anyone help, I have a yamaha yb100 that's not running that good, I have changed points and plug, it ticks over ok but when you pull the throttle it doesn't have any power.

What is the recommended site for 70's DT info? vin etc B

Greetings from Denmark, I am renovating a Yamaha DT80 LC for my son and I have found a big bore cylinder without a piston. The bore is 57mm which makes it 110cc I think. Can anyone tell me wher I can find a piston for it?

I've got a dt50r from 2010,got any tips 'bout making it faster? And if anyone knows how the heck you are supposed to get the restrictions outta there? The exhaust doesn't fit back togeter after I've had it open just a bit, so I cant imagine how you should be able to get the restrictions out, and I cant get the whole exhaust off. I'm very noob at engines, so please if anyone has any tips that doesn't involve buying a 125cc... (I live in finland and over here it's 15years old=50cc, 16yrs=125cc(but I aint got the cash for that), 18yrs=125< or car)

No, I dont mean taking it out for a few pints and a meal. Ive been riding various bikes for a few months and only recently found out that tyres are dated. On the side wall should be four digit number (three digit on pre year 2000 tyres). This number denotes the week and year it was made. For example '0510' would mean that that particular tyre was made in week 5 of 2010. RoSPA say stored tyres shouldn't be used if they are over 6 years old from date they were made. This info may be of use the next time your buying tyres. If you do have a choice pick the younger tyre. HTH Joshua 2
