The Bar

Now I know it is not everyones cup of tea, but I have been riding a BT1100 bulldog (02 Plate) for 4 years now, it is great fun and I have become emotionally attached to it - it has caused much marital discord at home!! Sadly it became rather unwell recently when the starter clutch seized, this was repeaired in time for the IOM TT but sadly whilst over the pond she failed again. and the AA had to get me back home. When it was taken apart I was informed that the cam shaft had snapped. Has anyone else had this heppen to them and could this be linked to the worked done on the starter clutch (completed by a Yamaha dealer using genuine parts)? As it occured 3 days after the ya…

Hi, my name is Bartek and I'm 16, I live in England and obviously I own an Yamaha Something about me: English isn't my first language so I do make mistakes, I study mechanics but I'm just started and my knowledge is poor I started driving this year in march, everything started with Aprilia SR50, thank I moved onto Aprilia RX50 and got into heavy off-roading that my Aprilia RX50 can't really handle and not long ago my friend offered me an Yamaha DT125 in good condition and in perfect working order for amazing price of £150 although it was without v5 papers so it's not road legal any more and luckily I prefer it this way as there are less things to brake when I cr…

looks......different! what do you think?

Oh been out today, the missus had taken the kids to a party and would be gone for 3-4 hours, was it work. No, was it football, No. It was Bike keys. 150 miles and 2 tanks of gas later i'm buzzing, no dual carriage ways, no motorways just sweet A and B roads and a blast on the new Bedford ring which is just perfect, new tarmac and roundabouts with minimal traffic. Sweet, the bike is still cooling down outside pinging contentedly to its self. The title? They will never experience the sound of a 2stroke twin having the throttle nailed, the knife edge power that has the tail breaking out. Its almost erotic the howl, the airbox. No 4 stroke will ever come close. …

Ihave now nearley sorted most of my electrical problems on my fz600,once you start cutting muti elctrical connectors and replacing them with bullet or spade connectors it looks very untidy,i found a small outfit that sells 1 way,2 way 3 way, 4 way, connectors very similar to yamaha connectors they take orders over the phone and you can buy the amount you need they also sell many other types of connectors,if any ones intrested i can give you there number or web address they were nice people and repair motorcycle electrics so they understand what your after.

Hi all, New to the forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Andre and I reside in Johannesburg in South Africa. I bought my second bike two and a half months ago, a 1996 Yamaha FZR 1000. I'm loving it ! My first bike was a Suzuki RGV 250 which I sold a few years back.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN. 1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF. 2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS. 3.. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A …

Fancy a drink darlin No thank you i tried it once and didn't like it. Oh, ows about a twirl on the dance floor No thank you i tried it once and didn't like it. My daughter is a very good dancer though. Only the one kid then? I know its old but i have been hearing it on the radio this week on one of Alex Licester's radio trail's and it makes me chuckle every time. Big up the Carry on films.

I tried a while ago to get into the Yamaha Club home page and what showed up was an installation page for something called "Joomla!"!!!! What is it? Is it some kind of spam or virus that someone has attached to the site?

Hello all, I know I have posted a few topics already but I feel rude as I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm from Wilmslow in Cheshire, I know nout about bikes. I have 2 children under 3 and as such I'm skint so hoping to do alot of maintenance myself and may call upon help from here! Motorbiking is something I have always knew I had to do, my partner doesn't understand it and thinks I'm an idiot but I just couldn't go another summer seeing everyone out on their bikes! So I recently picked up a bargain Yamaha DT125R - pic below. My aim is to keep it as original as possible and make it look spanking by sorting out the mismatched panels and giving it a genera…

I cant get the electric start to work properly. it turns the engine but very is very weak. it will make a crank or two but then it runs out of juice. i just put a new battery in it. i dont have a kick starter but it push starts just fine. i feel like a just wasted money on a new battery. could it be a dying starter or maybe something is draging in the engine? i dont know where to start
