Does any body else have a T80 they use on here as they are getting pretty rare 40 left on the road tax and tested, i use mine everyday to get to college and general buzzing around, not bad for a 19 year old bike its done 4,500 miles since August, I have to thrase it abit in 2nd and 3rd but she gets up to 45 nicely. She is abit ratterly at low speeds due to needing valves clearances doing and abit of a whine when hot but she does what she does nicely and glad I got here Instead of a c90 better fuel range and handling and just a good laugh. I heard they do a 2 stroke version but less mpg and not as reliably.

my bike has been drinking oil since i bought it back in the summer forget the month im topping it up every 2 weeks and it will be just marking the bottom of the dip stick then ive got use to this and no when its getting low as the bike sounds and fells odd and the gear changes get a bit notchy but ive just been out to check the oil and its over the max and runny as hell in fact it stinks of fuel the bike has got 21000 on the clock but the engine was rebuilt by a shop but forget the name but do have a recipt how much will it cost to get the engine fixed now would i be wasting my money on the bike it also needs new tyres soon as im down to about …

Hi Guys, Just wanted to say Hi! Im new on here and am getting a Yam DT125R (MK I) next week. Hopefully i'll be able to help others, but my knowledge is limited so for a while i'll be leaching for a while . However I do know IT very well so can scratch your back etc... I Live in the UK (Hampshire). ta St0F

Hello, Im new to biking and this website and I'm having a few problems with my recently purchase 2009 XT125R. It always had problems starting by electric start and sometimes needed kicking over. However the battery will not charge and is permanently dead, I get the dash and lights when the engine is running, but occasionally I do loose it for a few milliseconds. I have used a voltmeter and the battery is around 10v when the engine is not running and struggling to push 12v when running. when I rev I don't seem to get any more voltage so believe its not charging at all. I have recently changed the front bulb to halogen bulb as the standard one …

I have a 2009 WR450F and looking at lighting kits. There are two I can find, the Dakar and the Baja Designs. Do you know of others and if not which of these two truly make the bike more real world street worthy?

Hi peeps I'm brand new to motorcycling and have got myself a very nice new XJ6 Diversion F......questions questions! First, I'm interested in getting a top box and maybe pannier boxes for it, preferably detachable. I have no experience at all. What do I need? Where should I look? Any advise would be great thanks ;o)

Hello everybody, Well, I'm new to the forum so be patient and read few lines of intro and then e few question to which I hope to find the answers. I'm 29, and recently came up with the idea to ride again, and by riding I don't mean commuting but touring, some daily and maybe longer journeys, something like 200-500km/day. At first thought about a BMW K75, but because of license restrictions I changed and began thinking about e Varadero 125... BUT lastly fate came to me in the shape of a Yamaha XS360, pretty much identical to the one in the below pic. I read a bit about it and the idea I got is that this is a pretty good bike, not like K75 and the Varadero,…

Anybody know how to delete ads in the For Sale section please?

hi all any one no were the starter gear and clutch is on an 1988 fz400r 46x its( not) the one with the penut shape cover ? and what it looks like thanks

hey guys i need some opinions on whether this will work or not because i think i might have had a bit of a brainwave!!! my ty (very very very rotten) like most bikes depends on using the frame of the bike for an earth and it is a good way of doing it BUT in my bikes case, the last idiot who owned my bike (whom was VERY good at taking things apart but not so hot at putting back together) left my bikes loom dangling and left the exposed points where the components earthed to rot and and im now getting no end of grounding issues with the bike, with continuity through the frame being a bit of an skill to find on it, now heres my clever idea: bearing in mind my bike on…

Hi, I recently purchased a 2001 v-star 650 and would like to get a shop/repair manuel, any suggestions?

Just bought some new leather gloves, leathers a bit stiff and so need suppling up a bit, anybody out there have any tips to make them more supple? Cheers Nev

Hi i have a xj600s and just wondered if it's time for valve adjusting? It has done 21,500 miles and has just developed a ticking noise from the top end... It runs fine and pulls like it should so i dunno. Any help would be much appreciated, is there any thing else i could check out first? Cheers, Tom.

Should have put this up a couple of weeks ago but better late than never. My bike was leaking fuel from the LH carb, it was damp and a little wiffy (no puns) Well 2 strokes being what they are, like the wife not liking neglect, it bit me. Flooded out massively, almost had me walking home. Anyway TDR's being what they are, (a big motor stuffed in a 125 frame) its a bit tight so off comes the offending carb. Open her up clean out the carb, nothing visible but there was dirt on the cloth i cleaned it with. Whacks it all back together and........... nothing. Std options first.... Change plugs, old ones were sparking but you never know. Changed fuel, it had run…

just seen THIS peeps, and fook me that is a tasty bit of rare steak... there's definately room inbetween the CBR and the XJ turbo for this little beauty... y'all recon it may be a wise investment?...

Hey, I only have one key for my bike and my key safety is not great, always panicking about loosing it. I guess too be more safe would be the answer, but a 2nd key would be better. Since its not just a door key I assume I cant just go key cutting shop lol So where do I go to get one, and do I take bike documents to prove the bike is mine? Thanks in advance

Hello Yamaha riders ! I'm 18 years old and I really want a motorcycle. I live in Belgium, and in January 2013 they will change the motorcycle license system: If you are under 24, you have to start for 2 years on a 125 cc motorcycle. I really like the looks of the YBR 125, I've already heard its a good motorcycle but I have some questions about the speed.. I will have to do a dual carriageway where the speed limit is 55 mph ( when there is a lot of traffic, in rush hour, its mostly around 50 - 45 mph) to get to school. My question is, will the YBR be able to do these kind of roads? It's only for 12 miles. I heard from some people it's top speed is only 60…
