Hi guys, im new here, yesterday i was driving home from work and all of a sudden the bike jus seemed to die, as if it was losing revs radpidly, wen i tried reving it it sounded like it was struggling to tic over and as if it was flooded, so i turned it off, left it a few minutes and tried agen, but still the same. Im not quite sure but i think i touched the clutch leaver up while i was driving without the clutch in, not sure if that would make a difference or not. How ever i changed the 2 stroke oil a few days before. But other than that i dont know what it could be. Wondering if any of you guys would know cheers, by the way its a dt125 r on a 03 plate 4k on the c…

Hi everyone,got a question! My dad has just bought me a DT125(1990) but im not sure of the exact model of it.I have heard that there is a site that i can input the chassis & engine numbers & it will tell me the exact model but i can not find the site,any ideas? Also i need a haynes manuel for it but i have seen two that cover the year of the bike but im not sure which would suit my bike best.I would be very grateful if anyone could help me, Thankyou, Bigal

i have a 2003 yamaha dtr it has only done 3,000miles but today i was opening it up on the road on the way to work and suddenly it kept popping about 5 - 10 times and then i lost all power , the bike cut out i had to walk it to a safe place and i tried to make it work again its only a kick start as you might already know i kept trying it did not work so then i tried to bump start it that did not work either so i had to walk to stupid thing 2 miles home and i am still lost on what gone wrong can anybody help me please!!!!!

just one a fz600 fuel tank old new stock retail £340 for £47.00 looks like its just come out of factory, would have cost me more to get my old one re painted , well happy.

Right, my engine is fucked, the keeper on the cam sprocket snapped off and fell into the crank and mangled some shit that I haven't even bothered to inspect yet, along with putting scratches into my BRAND NEW cylinder. So I'm just gonna swap the engine out for another one whilst this one gets a rebuild. Now, onto the meat of the question: I've been offered a 2006 YBR engine for a decent price. The problem is that those have a carb and not EFI, but thats the only change, and I'm guessing that I can just swap the stator over to the 2006 model and be golden. As far as I can figure that's about as far as I'd have to go, anyone else have any thoughts?

sorry about my posts earlier i was figuring out how to upload pictures and ive suceeded ''yay'' wht do you think of my baby then boys Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Mate of mine is doing a charity ride to Peru and one of her sponsors is the Army. The White Helmets donation to the ride is a free off road training weekend at Bovington Camp in Dorset...... and I have been invited along Always wanted to have a go at this, I love mountain biking and skiing and was always up to my neck in muck as a kid so I reckon this is going to be a fun weekend. Just waiting for the bumpf to come through the post, but any experienced mud skidders on here can offer some words of wisdom so I get the most out of the 2 days ?

Just joined your forum, and though I would say hi. My son has just purchased a 1994-5 YZF600R that has seen better days, so we are in the process or rebuilding it. Where is the best place to get spares, for example engine sprocket nut (somehow missing?) exhaust gaskets and fairing fixing rubbers. Many Thanks

I have just been pulled by three coppers for looking over my soldier whilst changing lanes. Apparently by doing this you are acting suspiciously. It was only this afternoon me and my friend was having a conversation about how inept the police are. Yesterday my friend witnessed some youths burgling a garden shed and stealing a lawnmower and a strimmer. Throughout the incident my friend phoned the police and told them, but not surprisingly to me, the youths got away with it. Anyway I got pulled for looking over my shoulder. Once I explained myself the copper realised he was wrong so started been aggressive. He then tried saying I was looking at him, so then I told the…

Hello everyone. Yes, I'm another new member. Not only to this club but to the world of Yamaha motorcycles. I have owned 2 Ducati's previously. A Monster 600 Dark, purchased new in 1998 and a 2000 model 748, which I bought in January 2006. The 748 set fire to itself last month and has been rendered 'uneconomical' to repair. I test rode a 2005 model R6 yesterday and decided to buy it. Have I made a good choice?

My friend Andre is looking for a bike. He's 20 in a few weeks and I was either looking into getting him a bike (Would have to be dirt cheap) or helping him find a bike. Does anyone have any suggestions as to WHAT bike he could get nice and cheap? Does anyone know where to get said bike in london? Much love to you all!

HEY THERE. JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF PHOTO'S OF MY 1985 YAMAHA FZ400. I GOT IT OFF EB@Y FOR A MASSIVE £70. IT WAS A NONE RUNNER AT ALL. DIDN'T EVEN SPARK. NOW IT HAS BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED TO THE BONES AND HAD EVERYTHING CLEANED RE-PAINTED AND PUT BACK TOGETHER. IT HAS HAD ALL NEW BEARINGS, NEW PADS ALL ROUND, NEW BRAKE LINES, NEW OIL AND AIR FILTER AND NEW CHAIN AND SPROCKETS. THE REAR SEAT UNIT IS OFF A KWAK 400. NEEDED ABIT OF MODIFICATION BUT NOW FITS LIKE A DREAM. THE EXHAUST HAS BEEN CUT DOWN AND SOUNDS AWESOME. IT IS READY FOR A FULL RE-SPRAY NOW BUT STILL UNSURE OF WHAT COLOUR TO DO IT. HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH THE MOT AND THEN I'LL BE BACK ON …

I'm new here and figured I would show off the latest bike that was given to me. A '76 XS750. It came off a reserve in saskatchewan and shows alot of weird/stupid fixes. Let me know what you think, any ideas of which way I should take it. I'm stumped for now and thank god winter is coming.

Myself and my mate were going through town today, we were behind this cage who clearly didnt give a rats arse about any other driver on the road, he choped and changed lanes at will, pulling straight out in-front of everyone without looking anywhere, Now-- my mate is hot tempered at the best of times and i knew this would drive him bonkers, so after following this fella for a bit and watching his anticks on the road, we were coming up to a junction, suddenly, my mate flew past me, stuck his left boot out good and high and lamped the mirror straight off this fellas car, he then stoped beside the car to see the drivers window coming down and to receive a m…

Hi Guys, I went for my M/C Theory Test this morning and........................ :? I PASSED! Got 35/35 for the theory part and 53/75 for the Hazard Preception. Next step is to go for the DAS course. I need to save for a bit first, I think the course is about £500-£600! :shock: I'm going to save for a leather suit and a pair of boots as well (about £500! :shock: ) before I do the course (might as well).
