Hi everyone, Just registered today, I am Ken, 22 years old from just outside Edinburgh, I am well into my bikes even from an early age. I own a motorbike breakers and have got a bad habit of keeping to many bikes for myself than breaking them for spares. I have got a few bikes of different makes, I have got a couple of Yamaha's, I have got an old aircooled dt125 field bike modified with an alloy petrol tank, monoshock and a few other bits and bobs. Also got 2 RD350LC's that i am doing up, one a road racer with rickman fairing and race body kit, The other a more standard type with belly pan and bakini fairing, still needing a few bits and bobs. Cheers, Ken

Hi everyone Ive got a mint 1972 200 Electric YCS-3E 3100 miles. Could some one give me a value on this bike. It is for sale. Thanks , Motorsickle

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this forum owns, runs or works in a Yamaha Dealership, or motorcycle garage in the North East. I live in Durham, have a 1998 Yamaha XJ 600 N. Being an old bike, its always got bits and pieces wrong with it, and I want to learn more about how to fix them myself. I'm a postgraduate student at Durham University, Booo! I know, but you can't call me a tax dodger, coz we get no loans, and I get fully taxed on any job i get to pay for the course! Anyway, I'm looking for somewhere were I can go along on a weekend, or the odd day to watch/learn whatever I can. I know its an inconvenience for whoever I'm watching, I'm definately NOT lookin…

I am new to this, so please bear with me. I have a 1975 yamaha, XS500B, that I purchased new. It has been sitting for about the last 10 years. It ran when I parked it so I suspect with a fluid change, battery and clean up of the carbs, it should run. Here is my problem... I will be needing some parts for this bike. I just bought another bike or the same year and model on ebay as a donor bike. It is really too nice to take apart and runs well. I can get some of the parts I need from this bike but still need some other. My biggest needs are an exhaust system and the trim pieces for the left side cover. Anyone have suggestions as to where I could start looking for p…

Joined up a little while back so though I should say hello. Have a 1990 TZR250 2MA that is absolutely as it left the factory. Got it end of october last year for £450 . Had 18500 miles and now around 18700 (nasty weather so little riding). Had to replace the carbs needles due to it vommitting all its fuel onto the garage floor and filling the crankcase full of the stuff and the YPVS control unit as the powervalves weren't functioning. Need to do a few little jobs like replace the ugly mirrors and sort out a broken indicator but other than that she is in very rude health . Here it is.

just passed my full test went and part chopped my r125 for a gorgeous 2006 black r6! isnt it funny how you get respect on the roads as soon as those L plates come off?! just thought id share this cause im still buzzing after passing! r6's are F+++ING AWESOME!!! i'll miss my old r125 though. even if i only had it for three months!!

hi, could anyone help me please. i fitted a big one exhaust to my dt, i have been told i will have to upgrade the main jet. currently it has a standard #210 jet. any ideas anyone?

hi a newby here, broke a clutch bolt on my 1971 yas1 yesterday and the only ones i've found were on an australian site (which i now can't find again anyhow). can anyone suggest a place that might have them before i try to find that aussie site again or should i try and get one made up at an engineering shop? p/no is 90149 - 05147

hi drewp ,,,, cana seem to use PM. + GETTING ON TO PROFILES [MINE + OTHERS .. ]] had to sart this topic to communicate ,,

Stumbled across this site earlier today http://www.r6-forum.com

Hi peeps ..thought i would join yet another bike forum I ride an 07 r6

had a slight spill on my r 125 and is gonna cost me near on a grand to replace all the panels on the left side and top of tank. but as only 2 panals are actually broken and rest just a bit scratched up i thought i may be cheaper to just replace the broken panels and then have it all sprayed. if i do end up getting it sprayed i thought i would go for the 2009 fiat paint job (might as well ay). anyone have any idea what sort of price i would be looking at. obviously if its cheaper to replace all panels then i will do that.

Hi all check this guy on a bike, http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/ghost_rider2_goes_wild.php hope it works

Hi, I thought I'd ask the experts about a 50cc machine for my son. I've been looking at bikes like the Aprillia, Gilera and Derbi when I came across a 1989-90 (G) DT50 being rebuilt by A yamaha shop in Poole (local to me). I have a few questions: 1) are parts hard to get? 2) is it a good bike for everyday use? 3) is £950 a fair price? 4) is there anything I need to look out for? This is the sort of bike I would have ridden when i was a young whipper-snapper, but don't want to be swayed by nostalgia! Thanks in advance Tony

...I'm off work today! Not 1 cloud in the sky, no wind and nice and warm! Could creep up to 13C... This calls for a Scarborough trip me thinks! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
