The Bar

Greetings to all, I am not yet a biker,but soon will be,well a learner at least.Got to start somewhere.I am here on the Yamaha forums,because though I may be a learner,I am wanting a Yamaha bike,something I may well have within a few weeks,well hoping so that is,(just as soon as someone is daft enough to buy my car to finance my new life).Why Yamaha,well I have fell in love with an XVS125.Maybe here I can get some advice on my chosen bike and indeed motorcycling in general.

Hi everyone, just found the site and fairly new to biking so hoping I can pick some brains from time to time. I have an xj900 divi which is in great nick for the year but the fuel gauge has packed in - not the end of the world, but wondered if there's an easy fix?

Hello, this is my first post here so hi! I just bought a V Star 1100 this weekend. My first bike. Congrats to me! Anyway, a tip to the wise. Don't buy a bike at the begining of a long holiday weekend. You have no plates and you will be tormented because you can't legally get out on the road! Believe me, it was a little rough on me mentally! Well, I drove from Cleveland to Cincinnati Ohio with a plate on Saturday. I had my dad covering my tail as we blew by about 6 cops. Then bit my lip on Sunday and just drove it a couple of miles but I had to take it out today since it was nice and we went to a family cookout. So there I was breaking the law. Naug…

Whoa! just got back from my local bike store and am now in a state of complete shock. Only went to buy some inners for my gloves and came out with an MT-01. Don't know what happened, but I kinda like it. I pick it up middle of next week and I'm soooo exicted. Not sure why I desperately needed to share this infromation but it seems to have helped with the trauma of making something of a rash decision. Any of you lot going on the MCN protest rally 20Oct07.

Hi all Just hopefully about to become a proud R6 owner but would just like to ask a couple questions about a bike i have been looking at. Does anyone know much about 2004 models not being registered till April 06? I have the chance of buying a 06 plate 04 model one and just wanted to check before doing so. Also if i do buy it what year would i tell the insurance it is? If i do it online it just asks for year... I can put it as a 2004 and enter the reg plate which comes out at a decent price but if i register it as a 2006 its another £90.00!! Any help appriciated thanks

Hello, My name is Brian from Oregon, USA. I recently bought a 1965 YDS5 from the original owner. What a find!!! I rode one in 1968, I was 17, and I will never forget the ride, my knees are still shaking. When I found this one I had to have it, anyway to my problem. I rebuilt the carbs and the tank distribution valve and have her running pretty good. The clutch slips really badly so I can't ride yet. I cannot find a clutch kit or much of anything for this bike. I am starting to think there are not many of them left so parts will be hard to find. Maybe there is a secret liquid clutch fluid I can put in the trany and hook me up to that power plant. If I remember rightly the …

I have a 1981 550 maxim. It has been sitting for some time. I'm pretty confident that the carbs, from sitting, have gotten a little gummed up. I took them apart, cleaned them and have been able to get it started. But it won't idle. You have to nurse the throttle and it very erratic. some times you can keep it going for ten minutes. Sometimes it will quit as soon as the ether wears out. It needs about 3/4 throttle to stay running and at times it will rev up on it's own. Fuel seems to flow freely. I think I have a vacumn problem., but any, ANY, advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Marc Smith Cleveland ,Ohio

Ha ha.........I am the proud owner of a "New" 1986 salient CA50DL It has 789 miles on the clockand I have the origional purchase receipt along with a sales brochure. I am new to these scooters & can find virtually NO info at all. I would be grateful for ANY input. Many thanks in eager anticipation

Hi All Well after 3 weeks of just looking at my XJ600, I passed my DAS today and was able to take it for a ride, did 125 miles this afternoon with a BIG grin on my face, will still have the grin on the way to work tomorrow, no more thrashing the life out of the XV125 and being overtaken by lorries up the A2, now that's hairy!
