Hi, I'm new to this forum.. I don't where to put this topic so I just post it here. I have a yamaha jupiter z. Its a single cylinder, 4 stroke moped with 110cc at stock. But I have tuned it a little. I bored up the cylinder block to 167cc and change the cylinder head squish with bigger valve. Now I have a problem on the camshaft tuning. The cam profile before was 70-50/80-60. While using this cam, my motorcycle didn't have power after 6000 or 7000 RPM (I don't know for sure because there was no tachometer in this motorcycle) Then I reshaped it into 70-50/70-60. The power around 6000 or 7000 rpm is better but still don't have enough power to reach 8000 RPM. Do anyone h…

I'll tell ya, women can be cold until the end! The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, 'I've got some bad news. You have cancer, and you'd best put your affairs in order.' The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting. 'Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't well. I have cancer. So, let's head to the club and have a martini.' After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber... There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the wo…

Right... Don't make many posts, but I am losing the will to live with my Suzuki GP100! I have my FZR600R which is currently having its winter strip and service, and last year in September, I stupidly decided to buy myself a little project, non runner to learn about the amazing 2 stroke engines. So... £200 non-runner GP100 local, decided to buy, clean to a certain degree and get on the road for a laugh! BUT I am facing a huge problem and would really appreciate your opinions on how to solve my Suzuki problems! I have so far... Completely stripped the bike to just the frame, completely removed all paint and rust, re-sprayed and lacquered Split engine,…

In a typical mans world. A typical bloke, having split from his latest girlfriend, decided to take a holiday. He booked himself on a cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas, coconuts and the few fish that he managed to catch. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore on a boat.. In disbelief, he asks, 'Where did you come from? How did you get here?' She replies, 'I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed here when my cruise ship sank a fe…

I was wondering if anyone knows if a 1985 RD125LC Motor will fit a 1982 RS125 engine mountings? I cant see it being an issue because I believe the DT/RS/RD/RXS engine casings are all the same but not 100% sure. Cheers for your help in advance.

Hi everyone, I've been hearing a few people have been experiencing slow page load speeds when the forums have been busy. We've just updated the YamahaClub Database Server so hopefully now this problem should be resolved at peak traffic times. I will be monitoring memory usage to see how we get on, so fingers crossed :-) Alex

Different Terror Threat Levels Around The World The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards" They don't have any o…

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES A handful of 7 year old children were asked 'What they thought of beer'. Some interesting responses, but the last one is especially touching. 'I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks the prettier my mum gets.' --Tim, 7 years old 'Beer makes my dad sleepy and we get to watch what we want on television when he is asleep, so beer is nice. ' --Mellanie, 7 years old 'My Mum and Dad both like beer. My Mum gets funny when she drinks it and takes her top off at parties, but Dad doesn't think this is very funny.' --Grady, 7 years old ''My Mum and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more they drink the more th…
