Found this forum while trying to figure out why my YammaGamma is smoking. Well that seems to be fixed but it wouldnt start this morning and dripped a little fuel. Will look at that tonite. Done 400km since getting it together and passing French moto test(arrrg). Its a rocket ship above 7k usually starts 3rd kick cold. 86YPVS from Italy cheap. A bit loud with those Figaroli pipes and Stan's stage 2. Its been like a video game getting this far, get stuck, look online(cheats) fix the problem, next!!! And some of the problems delt with so far: -wouldnt idle: carb slides were in backwards(duh) -Clutch wouldnt disengage: removed and freed plates -Exhaust spitting oil at…

All, I have a hobby of collecting and restoring old Hondas and a friend knowing that, passed a 78 DT100 to me. I told him I would get to the appropriate forum and see if I could help out some Yamaha collectors restores. I just got this account and not sure exactly how the site works. The bike is missing the gas tank, head, carb, exhaust, side cover. The rest is there. If there is something that you are looking for and I can help let me know. I decided to post here because I didn't want to see the bike end up in the trash. I'm a collector of Honda CT70s.

I bought a new bike yesterday, a Thundercat YZF600RR. Well it's not new, it's actually 13 years old. I bought it because my car was dying so I sold that and decided to get back on two wheels after two years. My last bike was an XJ600N. It was used for commuting, a little dull but it done the job. The Thundercat promises to be a different beast and after riding on it yesterday I had the most stupid grin and it was like I had never got off two wheels. The bike itself is in very good nick, no obvious signs of damage or wear. It's HPI clear, the front fork seals are leaking a little and the battery has now decided to not hold a charge. The cat has 30000 miles and only ha…

Hi, I may need a new battery and have been phoning around a few local dealers to get prices. I've been quoted between £42 - £48 for a sealed unit which I think is on the expensive side. Not keen on ordering from eBay, can anyone recommend a good reliable online store?

Hello all, thought I'd say hi. Just bought a 97 Thundercat for local commuting / having a little fun and found this here forum on the t'internet! Look forward to contributing (and apologies in advance for dumb questions). Cheers

This is my best Friend. Given to me when he was just 6weeks old, I carried him home and put him down at the corner of the house where he stayed for 2days shivering with fear. 16 years went by where he seldom left my side almost every day. Everyone that met him grew to like him as he was a real character. Sadly a few days ago he passed away. I miss him very much. I hope he rests easy and is gone to a nice place. If you are a dog lover then you will understand this post. Why did I post him on here.........I dont know, I guess sharing is careing. As this is a motorbike forum, ill try to give him some status. He had a one hearted, big chested, air and…

Hey guys, what would be a cheap mod to this Yamaha bike? http://www.governmentauctions.org/blog/index.php/2010/06/27/2001-yamaha-rt100-dirtbike-ride-through-the-hills/?pId=2118

Just joined tonight (I guess it was yesterday already) I'm the proud new owner of a 1975 RS100B. It runs like a champ but has a few electrical demons right now. I just wanted to do the usual "Hello!" to the new forum I'm not legal yet so I've been cruising around the cemeteries near my house. I'm picking up parts and pieces now getting her road legal so I can insure it. So I'll have questions eventually (especially considering I can't get my tail light working), but for now this is just me saying HI!
