Hi all, While doing research for my Yamaha I discovered this forum, and hope to receive guidance. I'm new to bikes, and even more green when it comes to engines, so I picked up a Clymers manual.

A family of mice lived in Piccadilly Circus. One day the boy mice was walking home through the centre of Piccadilly in a daydream when a young female spotted him and screamed. It frightened him so much he jumped off the pavement into the path of a London bus. He picked himself up and crawled into a music shop' "Can I help You?" said the shop assistant. "Yes please" said the mouse, "have you got any mouseorgans?" "It's funny you should ask that, only this morning I had a young lady mouse asking for the same thing" "Oh, that must have been our Monica"

hello i have an 86 radian yx600. it has sat for awhile. i can get it started but if i rev on it really hard and fast it sputters out (kind of like it is choking out). i have checked the valve clearance, timing, and compression. so my thought is the carb.. i took them apart and everything looked fine. also from time to time the carbs will just seep out fuel from an overflow valve. please help if you can, basically i have ran out of things to try and i really dont want to have to get rid of this classic speed demon -kyle
