anyone know how to go about obtaining a cert of origin from Yamaha......the dealer lost it. I'd buy this bike in a heartbeat, ('00 WR400F) but the owner never picked up the CO from the dealer, he (seller) gave me all the info, paperwork, reciepts, and I went to the dealer he bought it from asking for the CO and the dealer can't find it..... the bike is useless to me without the CO, I want to reg it and ride it on the street and a few offroad parks that require plates.

I'm thinking about getting a bike more than likely and R6, but i was looking around for insurance rates and the lowest I could find was around $1100 a MONTH! is it just me or is that insane? I mean i know i'm a 20 year old single guy, but i've taken drivers safety classes for cars and bikes and never been in an accident. So my question is who are you guys insured with and what are your rates?

Need some experienced advice concerning my clutch lever on my XJ600S. Its a '98 model and in really good condition with FSH etc, but since I bought it (last week) I've noticed that the clutch lever is a bit shakey and needs to be tightened. Whilst a bit of movement isn't a problem, mine seems to be able to move around an inch up and down at the furthest point from the pivot. I'm surprised because the bike had a service before I collected it from the garage I bought it from. Is this normal for an older bike? Can I tighten it myself or do I need to go back to the garage for some adjustment? It still works fine and the gear change is nice and smooth. Perhaps I'm …

Hi everyone, just joined hoping to speak to lots of other yamaha nutters has anyone else got a yzf750,since buying mine last year i have yet to see another even though i have been to poole bike night 4 times just wondered how rare they are as there was quite a bit of interest in my old machine.

Hi, I have just bought a 1999 R1 which has an Alarm/imobiliser fitted but I don't know what it is! The problem is I only have 1 fob for it and obviously if I loose it or it stops working I'm knackered!! The fob is just a plain black square fob with a white(ish) button and red LED. There is no name or numbers on it inside or out! The black box is exactly that.... a plain metal black box again with no markings, name or numbers on it! It is tie wrapped to the side of the subframe under the seat unit. It looks like a decent job with proper plugs and sockets going into the loom. I say Alarm/Imob but to be honest I've never heard it make a noise or go off?? So it may just b…

Also anyone use bt021 on R6 ? or sports bike are they any good ? i usually use BT014s

Hi guys, got my module 1 tomorrow morning and as I know a few people here have done it recently I was wondering if anyone had any tips? I've watched the videos, spent the last few days riding round car parks at 4mph, I'm quite confident and at the back of my mind I know its only cost me a tenner to have a go, if I pass great and if I fail at least I know what to expect for next time!

hey i just got on the site and wanted to say that i love my yamaha even if it is 27 years old and hard as he** to find parts. i am in the Niagara Region in ontario and love track style riding on my old yz 125 and have had a hard time finding people to ride with that aren't affraid to be aggressive. even the guys on the newer more expensive bikes are still pussy footing around like its there first time on a bike. if anyone wants to ride or knows a good place in niagara drop me a line and we can get together. "GO BIG OR GO HOME"

please use the wanted section drewps

Hi all, Just joined the club and thought it polite to introduce myself to the members. Posted my background in my profile pages but in short, new rider from last year, currently riding XJ600S and loving all things bikes. Joined the club to learn & get new ideas - never joined anything like this before so should get the hang of it eventually. Looking forward to the ride... Silverfox.
