Hi Folks I,m another newbie who commutes on a small bike due to some issues with arthritis. i commute at approx 60mph and this bike has no tach. am i shortening the longevity of the engine at these rpms? top end on the virago is much higher than 60 mph, but i need this bike to last a long time and i really can't handle a heavier machine due to leg strength. i'd appreciate any thoughts. thanks

Hi everyone, Sorry for the slow loading times over the last hours, the site was trying to be hacked, someone was trying to insert malicious files on to the network. Nothing was affected, but we take great concern when we see anything inappropriate happening through the network and needed to ensure the site hadn't be exploited in any way. Our systems were scanning for any files possibly affected which slowed the site down considerably, no files were compromised. Moving forward we are continuing to make improvements to our systems to enhance security, and minimise any disruptions to the YamahaClub. Thanks again for your patience. Alex

I love this Doctor! Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it.s true? ..don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef…

Dear All New member here. I have a '81 DT175MX that I've owned from new but has been sitting under a pile of wood in my Dad's garage for the past 14 years. In the next year or so (once I get my garage sorted out) I intend to restore it to its former glory so will be on here looking for hints and tips. Current bike is an XR400R I bought last year after not having a bike for years. Last bike (in the mid 90s) was an immaculate RD350LC. Still curse the day I sold it.... Regards, Fulmar

Hi, I own an XJR1300 and go by the name of Denis. Been around for 56 years and on bikes for 50 of them. Fat, non-smoker(now) ugly but like a good laugh and the odd sherry. Just done a bit in the Gallery forum about my bike, so wont bore you here. Live in London (hate the place) but from Kent originally Married no mortgage(rent) and no kids Work as a Security guard Haven't owned many bikes, tended to keep them for a long time. Love travelling on the bike and fishing and darts. Laters........

I loved my XJR1300sp 5 happy years of grunting around with a big smile on my face, I sold it to keep a promise. The promise was a TZR 50 for my son. In May this year the small end bearing failed, the damage was severe but normal. One new barrel, head, piston, rings etc. When we called Doug Dearden Yamaha (Southampton) for prices of spare parts, we were told " we'll give you a price if we can do the work". We were on a tight budget so, bollocks to them! Now my little 6'4" son has a car, so, time to polish the TZR for sale. We need a coolant bottle lid and a pair of bar-ends, so off he trots to ParkRoad Powerbikes (Southampton), he's told that coolant lids come in a pack …

Hello, 4 months ago, i bought a 1989 FJ1200, in excelent conditions, recently it starts to give me starting problems, i have to boost it so it will start, i took the battery and they did full check up and test and they said it is in excelent conditions. i took off the starter, the brushs and the bushing are in very good condition.

HI problem is that when I am riding my Yamaha DT 125R, It over heats. When I take a look in the radiator, there is nothing in there because it as overflowed out of the radiator expansion pack on the back of the bike, i have also had the head and barrel skimmed twice as im sure it was warped and thought that was the problem but it still seems to overheat and spit water out Please can you tell me why this is happening and how to fix it.
