Why oh Why cant i keep my money in my pocket and my big mouth shut a while back i was looking for a small sigle cylinder run-about (mini project). I looked for a Yam at the time but could`nt find one i could afford. So i bought a sweet little Honda CG125...... it was a bargain . so i should have enough bikes now?, but no! someone has offered me a RSX100 at a realy good price, and without hesitation, i said yes So now i am going to have to explain to the missus why we have yet another bike living with us Am i the only one to do this or are there others amongst us who have to many bikes for thier own good

Now I know it is not everyones cup of tea, but I have been riding a BT1100 bulldog (02 Plate) for 4 years now, it is great fun and I have become emotionally attached to it - it has caused much marital discord at home!! Sadly it became rather unwell recently when the starter clutch seized, this was repeaired in time for the IOM TT but sadly whilst over the pond she failed again. and the AA had to get me back home. When it was taken apart I was informed that the cam shaft had snapped. Has anyone else had this heppen to them and could this be linked to the worked done on the starter clutch (completed by a Yamaha dealer using genuine parts)? As it occured 3 days after the ya…

Hi everyone! Time to introduce my oldest son Jack to the Yamaha family. He got a PW50 for his birthday last week & loves it to bits - think its the start of many happy miles Now just need to get him some boots & he's sorted!

HI there this is just out of curiosity but i think I have the oldest SR125 in the UK still running. Mine is a 1985 version i know a lot of the peeps on here is from the 90's and the 2k era so is mine the oldest. Tell me how old is yours.

hello i have a 1988 yb100 deluxe model i read a post on here that says the silencer should weigh half a kilo but mine ways nearer 3 kilos just wondered if this is right or not the baffle has also been cut down by the previous owner would this affect performance as i am only getting 40-45 out of this bike i am quite heavy though i weigh about 17-18 stone. all help is apreciated cheers webi

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else. One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. S…

I'm just trying to find out if there is any possibility of getting a bigger back wheel for my xj6. Has anyone tried/tested it? I know i will loose some of its agility, but I just wondered wether it was possible and its advantages/distadvantages.

Can anyone sum-up the activity on here for the last three weeks ? and more to the point, will you? with nearly 20 pages of updated threads I just don't have to time to read it all. So ?? what's been happening ?

Hi guys, I own nowdays a Yamaha TDM 850. It has a 2 to 2 aftermarket (think it is nexxus) exhaust sytem. I want to change from 2-2 to 2-1. I bought the necks of the exhaust that bring the 2 outlets into 1 just under the engine. I also got myself an aftermarket viper can. I need a garage/shop to create a link pipe and install the whole exhaust system. Had a look online, couldnt find anyone. Any suggestions? The place where I service my bike said they couldn't help unless I had the whole exhaust. Many thanks, THIS IS FOR A FELLOW BIKER, ITS NOT MY BIKE, THOUGHT WHO BETTER TO ASK

Yesterday while heading to town a bird flew across the road and hit my my handle bars just below the right mirror. I can only imagine what the result would have been if it had hit me. It's tough enough having to watch out for cars...now the birds are after us too!

Can a Yamaha chappy 50cc 2stroke go faster than 25 miles per hour I recently had everything restored or replaced. Are they just made to go that slow? Is there any restrictions i should know about or changing the exhaust? I am short on cash and need to save on the commute to work but i am willing to pay the extra to save. Please drop of any advice

advice needed got a 1ooo exup on a j plate had no problems with it till monday oil light came on around 80-90 then went off when went slower does any one know if there is any problems with these engines only done it twice
