Hi All I have here a WR400F that was advertised as stolen/recovered by the dealer I bought it from The frame number has been filed off and painted over The engine number is still present I phoned Yamaha UK with the engine number and they couldnt locate it directly but said they suspected from similar engine numbers either side, that the bike was a 1999 The DVLA have advised me to contact the owners club or yamaha to obtain a Dating Certificate (what can I say; she's my kind of ride ) for the bike. They also want to inspect the bike to check some things (not an SVA but some kind of inspection) and will issue a log book upon payment of £55 plus some money…

Hi folks, I was able to take some photos, so, now I'd appreciate any help in identifying what I have here (year and model). The bike seems to have been sorely abused and it's difficult to tell what is missing, if anything (other than the cylinder head, carburetor and air box). I'm still searching for a carb. It's a red Yamaha GT80 (that's what the decals on the gas and oil tanks says). The "Spec Plate" on the rear fender shows the date of manufactrer as "5/1978." The frame and engine nos. match "367-5023**." There are no lights (headlight, taillight, or turn signals) on the bike and it doesn't appear as if any were mounted originally. So, is it a 1978 GT8…

I brought a j reg yamha dt125r For 550. It was in good condtion cosmeticly with a dep exahust sytem. 30miles after riding it, it just cut out Took the head off and was told to replace the piston but it wasn't seized. I was also told to get it running and sell or rebuild the engine because soon it would need a new big end baring. I left the bike dry stored for a week and now the conrod wont move up and down and part of the crank ( the big cricle things beside the conrod have flat spots on them and feel slightly bumpy. My question is what is wrong with my bike. Should I fix it or sell it as a non-runner (I can get the engine spilt ext without taking it to a garridge). How m…

Ok here goes, well I'm new to the whole bike scene so still trying to find me feet. Speaking of feet today i bought s brand new pair of rst boots which look great BUT! This is where I need some guidance, I went for a quick ride to try them out but just can't get on with them. I really struggle to change up, it's like my foot won't bend from the peg to get under the leaver to change gear! I can't feel the leaver with my foot either as it has reinforced toes, so sometimes I think I've changed up but haven't. Is this a typical newbie error or do I just have to give it time for my to get used to them? They were £100 so I don't want to think I am just throwing money away. …

So I'm new here, been having issues with my bike for 2.5 weeks (no rides at all, feels like months ) and my parents said I should ask on a yamaha Forum. Anyway, I recently went out to get some petrol, and about 20m away from the station I lost all power and had to push it, I thought "Oh well, ran out of petrol", Filled up, keys in, started it... Except it wouldnt start, I tried choke on, choke off, neutral gear, 1st gear+clutch, everything, still no avail. It does start (after a lot of hard work) and If I dont slip the clutch to keep it at 7k or more it stops and doesnt start, even when I do this it's hugely jerky. Its not out of water, or 2 stroke oil, chain i…

I have a 1972 LT2 that ran when I got it but the next day it won't even make an effort to fire. It's got spark. I really can't complain to the guy I got it from he gave it to me. so Any help would be appreciated. Yflyer

hi guys was just wondering if anyone knows how to take my front brakes apart on a 2009 yam xj6s to clean all the salt out from winter ?

I wanna get an 03-04 plate r6 and i have absolutely no idea what their common faults are. what should i look for? im not a total noob in buying and selling, its just that i am pretty clueless about the r6. what should i ensure that the bike should have as part of its service? im looking at one currently and there is like 4 owners on less than 7k mileage. should i be put off this? is there any common gearing problems, bad idling, coughing etc problems i should be on the lookout for if and when i go for a viewing? cheers for your help!

Hi, i'm looking to buy a new Yamaha Aerox R and after reading the specifications page i noticed i didnt understand some of the words used. They talk about mazimum torque, maximum power and compression ratio and i was wondering what they mean and how they affect performance? here is the link: http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/scooters/50cc/aeroxr.jsp?view=techspecs could you please tell me if these are good specs or not, as i am planning on de-restricting and i would like to know if this bike can do 50mph? Many thanks

5k5-031920 Year? Model? Size? Thank You!

hi there, my yamaha aerox is not running right and i need help! firstly, when riding my aerox, my bike seems to backfire and splutter from the exhaust. this also leads to the bike loosing power when revving. it makes a blowing shot noise from the exhaust and as a result it lack revs. if anyone has any advice or help, please get back to me, thanks!
