hi guys, just to introduce myself, i'm jim, i live in hornsea (yorkshire) got a couple of yam's and i thought i'd join up. i'm looking for some help with a few issues, so i'll see you in the workshop...

Just wondering if anyone has used a Ventura rack on their bike. If so, how has it been, how does it feel when riding, etc? I picked one up quite cheap on ebay for my FZR, as I wanted to tour a bit.

Do they exist? What MPG would you get? How slow would they be?? Would anyone buy them?? Any other questions?? Kev

Hi, I have bought a 91 FZR 600 that has been prepped for the track. I need to fix the indicators on for the MOT. The indicator wiring has been taped up and I have found both the rear wiring and the front right side. But for the life of me I can't find the left side. I have stripped all the tape off to no avail. At the rear the wiring is green and black then brown and black. In the front for the right hand side the wiring is green and black. For the left side i have found on connector (green/blue), but no other. There is a 'male' block connector on its own with brown, black and red wire's going into it. Can someone help with the wiring of the left/front side indicator. …

Can anybody guide me to a color code/number or mix number for the metalic dark red 1974 RD350? Thanks!

New to the forum (lurked for a bit) so i thought i should introduce myself. Mad scientist, mad man, general bodger.. you get the picture Currently learning bikes (at 27 ) on an inherited honduh 90, but i've always wanted a trial-ped, particularly DT50 MX's from the 80s. Just always liked them, whereas i do like.. more usual steeds, it's that bike that i've wanted since i was a kid... big wheel model? Had a project idea to make one a superb commuter type machine, but also keep its green-lane potential. I'm mechanically good, so intend to do all my own work and i'm never happy with anything which is entirely standard as the manufacturer cut-corner-built it…

Hi Guys, got my motorbike bug back but not in a situation where I can buy the bike I want WR 250 or 400. So i decided to go back to mum and dads and dig out the old IT 175. I have it in bits just waiting on a flywheel puller this afternoon. From memory (been about 10yrs) it kept jumping out of 2nd gear. Once apart what should I look for.??? Also where the exhaust attaches to the cylinder head is very loose, is there something i can add in there like a heat proof putty type substance to help get a better seal as when water splashes up there it ran very rough for a while. As i pull it down i may need to ask a few more questions. Thanks Bruce

Hi, I have been looking for some photographs of this bike. Does any on ehave any or know where I might get some good shots of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, My problem is exactly as the title really. The YBR125 coughs and splutters when the throttle is quickly opened from fully closed - if you do it more slowly though it is not a problem. Do this too quickly and the engine dies completely / stops dead. Idling speed is fine. I've cleaned the spark plug and this seems fine. Could it be the carburetor / air intake that needs cleaning or is it perhaps that the engine cope with a large air intake do you think? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I Have A 1974 yamaha rd250 and i have no idea how to start it other than to kick start it is there a starter switch or do i just need to turn the key
