Been looking on Ebay but cant find the ones i need Im looking for: GP125 Barrel and head unit GP125 Carburetor Expansion Chamber/ Micron Exhaust One of the previous owners ran the bike until the engine packed in, and taking off the gp100 barrel, found the problem... huge hole in the piston! with lots of crap nearly falling into the crank shaft, so engine is coming out and splitting, so while its off looking for small mods to make, and completely strip and tidy bike up A little project for myself and something to fart around on, If anyone knows…

Greetings all. Purchased a new 2008 star xvs 100T yesterday and can hardly wait till she gets delivered. I currently own a BMW K1200RS and decided to try a different seat style. What can I expect? If I get the bike on a Friday, I'd more than likely have it back on Monday for the 600 mile service. I enjoy a good ride.

I just bought a 2005 yamaha v-star 1100 i was woundering if the yamaha 650 v-star exhaust will inter change or could you tell me what does interchange with this model of motorcycle? thanks

Right guys and gals, i am currently stripping my R1 down in preperation for a full winter overhaul from road bike to track racer. I am going to be racing in next years Scottish road racers championship with anyluck (sponsors and my bottle provided ;-)). I have purchased a race fairing and i am about to get the new paint scheme designed, i am however still looking for company or club sponsors. I have 2 local companys already willing to back this, but still looking for more as the financial outlay is quite a bit, not only for the bike and parts, but also the full race season itself. So if anybody has a company or knows a company wanting its name on a race bike (wi…

Hi All just wanted to say Hi! any other Canadians here.Just bought 88 a fzr 400!

My 2005 Yamaha XT125X in red Reg, PO55 CUV was stolen from Hale Village (in between Widnes, Cheshire and Speke, Merseyside) It was parked on the drive of my girlfriends sisters house, right underneath the living room window where I was sat. I was only at the house for under 3 hours and didn't hear a noise or see anything, there isn't even any cctv from the pub across the road. Gutted.

I just recently had a 1981 Yamaha xs400 givin to me by an old family friend. It needs a new paint job, seat work and theres a short between the key and the strater button. Other than that, it runs great and i'll be posting pics as i go along. If you have any tips or advice it would greatly help.

Help needed..... iv been working on a cheap fighter project on my divvie whilst i take part in the current downturn on the jobs front (it hadn't turned over in 5yrs until a week and a half ago) and the current snag seems to be my new tail light i bought, well.... the light works fine but when i press the rear brake lever it cuts out and pressing the front lever results in no change i.e. it doesnt brighten, iv got a manual which iv stared at an awful lot and i can only see three wires that lead to the light, a yellow, blue and an earth so its not exactly complicated but its simplicity doesnt help as it keeps shorting when i wire it up as per the diagram and im starting t…

hi. im hoping someone can help me with a little, well a hope little problem i have with my r1 on a 98 year. the rev counter when i start the bike works fine but after about 3 mins it starts doing what it wants, the rev counter flicks up to 4 to 8 rpm then just drops down to zero, it is very anoying but i supose i can deal with it if its going to cost me a fortune, but if there is a fix then i will give it a go, i have a haynes manual for it so will give it a go if any off you can help me.. like i said, the rev counter just seems to have a mind of its own to be honest, flicking up and down from 0 rpm to 8rpm then drops and flies back up again,, also my trip isnt working pr…

anyone know what the fastest 125 is

Hi to all I have Yamaha AeroxR but i want to buy Sportbike 125 cc. I heard that Aprilia RS125 is faster that Yamaha R125, but before my Yamaha Aerox i had Aprilia sr50, and it was fast but no strong, that's why i sell it, and buy Yamaha Aerox which was more stronger and fast, and know i don't know what to buy ? Thanks for answers !

well i can honestly say i have never been as frightened! i took my bike in for some work on the alarm and the guy lent me a automatic scooter , i have rode bikes since 1963 but never ridden a scooter before let alone an automatic i will not be riding one again respect to all you young lads and girls but if that was my only alternative to 2 wheels ! i think i will walk.

Hi all Im looking for a brake fluid reservoir cap for my Yamaha RD125 (mine snapped !?!?!) any help finding one would be highly appreciated! Thanks Ben
