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.

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 …

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…

Ok, I'm really at the end of my tether with my damn FZ400. Starts ok. Runs ok, ticks over ok. Rides ok. After about 3/4 mile - cuts out, won't re-start. Leave it a couple of hours - restarts ok, runs once again and then does it again. Checked the petrol, not a problem, getting through fine. Checked the carbs as much as I can, seem ok. Someone suggested the coils - just ran it around a little while until it cut out, checked for a spark - yup, no problem there, spark to all 4 plugs. Had it idling in the garage for a while before it cut out today - not long before it happened she started sounding as though she was missing a cylinder, but just every now and t…
