well hi everyone, this is my first post. I own several Yamahas and have for years and, like everyone on this sight, I love them. here is a list of what I have: 1976 XS650 twin (basket case), 1978 XS650, 1979 XS650, 2X 1980 XS1100, 1982 XS850 triple, 1982 XS650 four (just got this one today), and a 1991 600 Radian. I do all my own work so any new info is much apreciated and I share ideas too. I design one-off parts like triple trees and frame mods but I like to restore too. I hope I can be of use for some of you guys who are trying to do it yourself too.

Just wondering if anyone else was lucky enough to get there hands on a new R1, i was lucky enough to get mine in. Any one else have one?

All I got to say is that the machine is awesome!! I just love riding it! At first, I didn't know what to expect and I had to get use to the riding position and the controls, but after about 5 minutes of riding, I started to relax and totoally enjoying my bike. I'm still smiling from riding the beast to work! One thing I've also noticed is that the turning angle of my R6 is piss poor compared to the 500cc bikes I was riding during my DAS. I tried to do a U-turn in a tightish road......f**k me, I nearly dropped the thing! I was also turning into this tight angled road at low speed and my fist was bloody touching the tank! Anyway, I'm sure I'll get use to it af…

I left @ 4:30am yesterday morning for Central Oregon.....had to be in Bend by 8am for my 2nd Interview with a particular Structural Engineering firm I've been hoping to land work with. since my XT only has a 3gal. tank....I've typically fueled up @ a petrol station that's about the halfway point near a Ski Resort that I've been frequenting since I was 5. The one thing I totally spaced off was that this petrol station was closed when I arrived so I had to wait around for over an hour for them to open so I could complete my journey over the pass on Mt. Hood without running outta fuel!......Hence I was late for my Interview! So once I topped off the tank.....I rode lik…

utter porn on television, that was THE best race i have ever seen. Rossi and his cael yamaha sure did kick butt!!! if anyone missed it you really did miss a great race!!!

Hi I have just become a member of this site and I am wondering if anyone has any good info regarding the fairing mounted mirror conversion that some people seemd to have done to their Divi's. The reason for this question is that Yamaha want £45 pound to reeplace the left hand mirror that has broken on my bike due to some muppet hitting it while the bike was parked up, and I have seen on some of the websites fairing mounted mirrors for about the same price and they doo seem to look good.

hi , just like introduce my self. im andy from thetford. are there many folks on here in the norfolk and suffolk area.

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…

I brought my FJR back from the middle east, ( you guys don't know what hot is). To get it registered in the UK I need to change the dip light and the speedo disk. HELP. Anyone tell me the best way without forking out £300. Desperate to get it sorted as I can't get it insured until it's done.

Well firstly to apologise for all the MYSQL errors everyone is getting!!! The site was moved servers and everything in the end was fine apart from losing a days worth of posts. Then some moron decided to change the MYSQL settings on the server which has screwed up more than one of my sites. Once one was fixed it was screw up the other one... and so on. This site appears to be fine but ive had to back it up to my copy which is from last week hence the missing posts. I am still waiting on the backup to be implemented from the 15th. This is so frustrating and i cannot belive a server migration could have been implemented before all the correct modules for…

This test is based on how cool you were at school and what crowd you ran with, etc., but it's still pretty accurate by today's standards. You may want to send it to your friends to see if they've changed. LET'S SEE, ARE YOU STILL A COOL PERSON?

Went off into the middle of nowhere....heading towards Maria via Orce. The sky was blue....temps in the mid 30's.....and the roads (as always) were clear! It's about 40 miles to get there.....and wilderness wherever you look! This is not the type of place to break down, especially in this heat! However, when you ride a Yamaha you don't need to concern yourself with things like that! The town of Orce is halfway to Maria, so I parked up on a hill overlooking the town! It was hot! And here's some views overlooking the town..... Then down to Maria, a couple of minutes to cool down....and off I …

Hi i am new to the owners club having prevoiusly owned a kwak. is there anyone out there that could give me some advice. i have bought a 05 fazer fz6 and would like to do a service on it. the bike has done 3500miles and other than oiled the chain i have done nothing else. i have an engineering background but on cars. could any member advice me on what i should be servicing or checking at this stage in the bikes life. i have contacted the local bike shop who i bought the bike from and they want £182 so i'm sure for what i need to do i could save a few squid by doing it my self.

My reason for this question is that I wrote to the Yamaha classic bike club with the view to joining but they never relplied as such that is to say one of the persons i wrote to actually phoned me back some three months later and was going to let me know what was going on but so far he has nerver been in contact since. I have two old Yamaha trail bikes which I am trying to restore as a hobby, you see I am an old cod…

Hi guys and girls, I'm new here, after being off the road (bike wise) for many a year, i purchased myself an XT350 last weekend, its a 97 model in black, i'll post some pics when i find out how to do it. But anyway HI

About 4 weeks or so ago now me and the misses went for a much earned break in the Lakes (Keswick to be exact). Monday morning I was woken by the phone going off... bloody great news, new job just came through. To celebrate... we took a ride out to Windemere. Weather was great, not a cloud in the sky... perfect Almost at the lake with the misses on the back we noticed that someone needed to cross on the zebra crossing so we stopped to let her over... however the elderly lady behind us had other ideas A quick THUD and I was off down the road at a rate of knotts and the misses went skywards and landed back on top of the bike... great! Police, ambulance, fire brigad…
