The Bar

I have a yamaha DTR 125 2004 electric start. The down pipe has blown and the rear silencer fairs not much better, my local yamaha dealer quoted me a silly price of £55o to replace it. well thats just not going to happen. A "big one" costs a relatively cheap 130 quid for a full exhaust system I just can't seem to find out whether it is compatible with the 2004 model DTR which I have, most of the dealers I have spoken to have compatibility charts which go up until 2003 models, can anybody help me with this issue please, me pistons can't take the strain anymore

my 1990 xj600 (36,000) on the clock is making a tick tick noise when i hit the rev's is it worth keeping, scraping, or rebuilding? help!!

Hi Guys & Girls, Just introducing myself to the forum, found this site while surfing the net. Just purchased my first big bike and to be honest I am over the moon with it. I was originally going to buy a Suzuki Bandit 650 but got fed up of waiting for the bike to arrive in the shop. Whist out driving I passed a Yamaha dealer decided to go back and check it out, walked in the shop there it was standing right in front of me. What a beast a FZ6 fazer in black Straight up to the dealer traded in my Honda Varadero the rest is history. Thanks for reading this and if any one can give me a bit of advice it would be appreciated. Cheers Phil.

Why is it so hard to get a XV250 virago in the Davao area

Hi all another newbie here, i own an 05 R1, the wife has just purchased a 52 plate R6, that i'm in need of some help with. Just seen you have a tech probs page so will post on there for the help i am looking for Cheers all Bob.

The emulsion tubes on of my carbs are so badlly worn that you can see it with the naked eye. It has been fitted with dynojet needles and these may or may not be worn, so I am replacing the lot with standard main jets and needles. Does anyone know what position the E-clip should be on standard needles? The Haynes manual states that you should note the position of the clip before taking it to bits, which is not very helpful. In case anyone else needs carb spares NRP are so much cheaper than Mr Yamaha. Regards Mark.

Can anyone tell me how to get the photos I have taken of my dt engine onto this forum so that I can discuss a gearbox problem. I took the photos and have downloaded them into my document file, but that's as far as I can get. It has to be said that I'm very poor at computer stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
