well a trike towing a caravan in Holland last week and i thought i had seen it all but, you ask why!!!

hello and i am new to this kind of thing,managed to get myself a yamaha r6 ,it is a 2001 virgin replica model it looks very nice and stands out i have been on rides out and enjoying the thrill.

Hello all, I want to give my ybr yamaha a little bit more topspeed, is that possible with a K&N or other filter? The ybr does 55mph i want it to go 60mph. I just gave it a new maintenance with fresh Castrol juice and iridium sparkplug. I did also the valvejob and placed a new airfilter (original one from Yamaha) the reason why i want a little more topspeed is because it is now very dangerous with the trucks. Thanks in advance

I've always wanted one and am on the verge of buying one but, people keep saying that they damage your bike, especially the chain.

:rolleyes: ah yes friends, well what goes around comes around, would love to be there when it does though... what fantastic riding weather. work saturday till about 12 or two ish. coming home always clock steam tower at the wood pulping plant,check what direction the wind blows..most of the time its blowin east always east, thursday it had me down to 37 on the straight.. gales and rain.. wouldnt have it ant other way though.

Went to collect the rebuilt XR lower-end from my mate's on Friday night.....was enjoying a beer & a good chat session with him in his shop.... & then he brought up the fact that a mutual friend (who recently moved due to being damn near homeless & jobless for awhile & then finally scoring a decent job looking after a Water treatment facility up in the Columbia River gorge (Beautiful place!)... was having a Helluva time coming up with enough cash to get himself a bike again after being bikeless for over 6years.... This friend is alot like me in the fact that him being around bikes all his life & going crazy not being back on 2-Wheels soon.... W…

if you plum for one of these there a good hack to have, but beware of the rear wheel its good for up to 30,000 miles then its have it skimmed or find a replacement..... ive found a few on sites where you bid for em not sure if im aloud to say..... but they have been substandard to say the least. it was a case of scrap the bike or replace it and so £400 later got a new rear wheel. and use ASF grease on the brake activator thats atttached to the rear drum or you will be sorry they tend to get very stiff and seaze up!! I know it happened to me.

Hi all had a ride to lancaster the other night pulled into the service station on the m6, went for a piss came back to bike would not start, i think left my oxford heated grips on so had to jump it. Got bike going then decided to carry on the m6 to the lakes with my heated grips turned of, 30 miles later pulled in stopped bike then tried to start fuck all happened, jump it again back on m6 59 miles later at home stopped bike, guess what bike still would not start why, is it the starter switch or coil or battery fucked , but it is a new battery. Thanks all

I went out side at about 20:00 tonight and seen that my bike had moved so I asked the wife if she knew what had happened and she said nothing and came and had a look and on closer look my bike had been moved of its centre stand and was resting against the wall and the steering lock was still on in the left position but the bike had moved strait along so if it had fallen of the stand it could not get to where it was so on a close look on the floor there were wet foot prints on the dry parts of the yard which are larger than mine or the wifes ,there is no damage that I could see in the dark but the steering lock looked loose but is still on,so from now on ill put the bike …

Guys/Girls, i need some help here... I installed 4 LED turnsignal indicators, and a kellermann variable load relais, which is suited for use with LED signals. I connected the 2 back LED indicators, and the front ones still original bulbs. everything works fine. Now connected up the front LED's: indicators are steady (left or right). If i hook up the original bulb together with the LED: works fine. So looks as if still the load is wrong, but all the reviews i see for this relay say all working fine. I'm sure i connected everything the right way. Anybody experience with this relay? I connected the ground, constant 12V and variable 12V wires from the relay. than…

HI all, need a bit of advice, I have got hold of a nice shiny petrol cap, the one on the bike at the moment is rusty and horrid, so I am trying to change the key mechanism out of the barrel but no matter what I do it wont come out, tried poking it prodding it and even talked to it nicely but no joy it seems to be in there for ever, it must come out but for the life of me I can't see how, do any of you know what holds the bugger in there and can I in fact change it? My thought is that at some time some little japanese guy put the thing in there so it must come out but as above can't see how. ANY help much appreciated. Thanks All.

i just found the steering lock on my virago 125, it came without a key for it, anyone know if i can get hold of a key from anywhere? cheers matt

Hi folks, is there anywhere on the bike to find the key number? I have one original Yamaha key but it doesn't have the number on it. Thought it would be easiest to order via the key number. Thanks Dave

my mate is selling a kh125 two stroker , oh yea baby, slobber slobber. is £300 dear or cheap for this , it's mot'd taxed but chuggs on tick over, so wot. it looks mint good condition.oh it's logit , unlike mellow yellow,who said that.

Simply another outstanding video by Greg Towle. It's hard life here but I do the best I can with it LOL You know they ever put all this bike weeks together and you would have another Sturgis.
