Hi, I am after FZX 750 carbs (diaphragms specifically but try to buy these new - £100 each!!! wtf??..). Does anyone know if there are any other bikes/models which would have compatible parts with FZX 750 '86? I don't seem to find the answer online. There aren't exactly many carbs flying around, but for example FZ 750 are plenty. Any ideas anyone please?? Thanks

Hi all, Not sure if anyone can help but here goes anyway, I recently had problems with my meta M53T disabling my bike (just as I was 100yds from home - lucky) , I want to remove this and put a new datatool S4, however I cannot find the information required to remove the Meta. I have found and traced all the connections, the bike will turn over but no HT, I have also fitted the new alarm ready but not much use without knowing which of the 9 all black yamaha wires need to be bridged to regain the spark. Hope fully someone out there can help either by forum or PM as i go back away with work soon and i want to go for a ride around first.

Hello All My clutch is nearing it's end on my xj6n. when it does finally give up, I want to have a go at replacing it myself. Can I get away with just changing the friction plates or will I have to change steel plates as well.

hi only just purchased my xj6 (abs) and as im waiting on getting my mod 2 sorted I haven't been out on it yet. my query is that on the frame by the forks is a sticker that says "power reduced by Yamaha 25kw!! ..now when I looked up the spec on my bike it says it should be 55.8kw...does this mean its been restricted?? before I get intouch with the guy ive purchased it off(he didn't say anything about it being restricted) I thought id post the question here to see what the crack is? thanks

Hello I've recently purchased a naked XJ6 and want to change the spark plugs. I've taken the side panels to see if I can access the plugs, but there doesn't seem to be any room, so I tried to manoeuvre radiator out of the way without disconnecting the hoses but with out much luck. After abut half an hour I gave up and put panels back on. Any help will be much appreciated. Anyway, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas to one and all. Can anyone advise the mechanics of the oil level warning light - ie what is the mechanism for making it come on. Mine has started to come on even though the oil reservoir is full.

I recently purchased a new float vavlve from yambits as the DT was leaking fuel when standing and running rich. Problem is it doesnt look anyhing like the original. The original is a screw fit and this is non threaded and has a rubber seal . Does it just push in ???? If not where on earth do I get a replacement from >????

Hi all does anyone know how I can get hold of a luggage rack for my Yamaha,I'm looking for a modern top box if anyone knows it. would fit this model.otherwise just the original ones.many thanks

Hi Folks... As a fairly newbie sort of returned rider, with little or no mechanical skill, I was wondering about potential service costs on my 1994 Virago 535... I plan to take a short trip to France in June with a mate, and although my bike seems to run pretty well, I thought maybe I should get it serviced before I go....having said that, it had a service (oil/plugs /filter etc) just before I bought it 18 months ago, and I have only done about 500 miles on it since!!!! Any ideas of the sort of costs I could expect, also what sort of work should be carried out??? Apologies for my ignorance!!! Cheers. Stuart

Hi guys My rear indicators wont sit properly, do i have the wrong rubber mounts or the wrong indicators? Cheers Tony

is it possible to fit an xvs 250 engine into an xvs 125?they look pretty similar but i wonder if it was possible would i have to change the braking system as it would obviously need more stopping power?

Hi all, dos an injection model bike still need to have the injections balanced like the carbs do on an older bike? as my gsx 1250 fa st 2010 model. may be running slightly rough as when i rev the engine up their seems to be a lot of viabration coming though to the fronf fairing some how unless its how it should be? cheers all who answer...

Hey peeps. All well? Just trawling info on really (stampy) heavy downshifts on the Divvy 600n, (98). I'm probably overdue a new clutch cable as I've got a wobbly lever but for now it's relatively fine on the upshift etc. Really just going into first. Any info grately appreciated.I may even buy you a drink!

Hi all, I've posted on here before but not for a while so I may just look like a newbie to you all. Just wondering if anyone could possibly give me some help. I have a 1999 Yamaha DT, every time that it seems to get wet my bike seems to fuck up, the other week it happened and it would not tick over, it kept cutting out and not going past 7000 revs. I took out the spark plug which was so black, changed it and got it running again. It got wet again and the same thing happened, I played around with my air and fuel mixture and got it running fine, but then it always seems to change. At the moment it will tick over just over 1000 revs which is so low I know but if I turn my t…
