Hi I've got a Yamaha YBR 125, havent used it much over the winter, but took it down to be serviced last week. Went to use it last weekend and after about 2h was coming home and the bike kept of stalling when it was in low gear. You can hear the revs drop and then go completely. Ive been reading I should adjust the idle swith but could someone tell me where to find this as I only found the battery the other week! Ta x

Right then, just a quick one, R6 has had the run-in service a year ago. Is the service schedule every 6000 miles or every 12 months whichever is sooner? Stoopid question I know!?!

Hey guys its brandon again, I am just wanting to stop in and update where im at. I haven't made a whole lot of progress. but what i have found is the wiring is all chopped up on my bike and it pisses me off to no end when fools get a bike and just destroy it when they are doing so called fixing it. I mean im not really a mechanic or anything but so much of machanictry is to do with common sense and taking your time and diagraming I can't understand as to why it would be so hard to no destroy a bike when you need some fixing done. oh well anyways the bike still wont spark I am getting the engine to crack over and the gears work so idk I know the cdi and the starter …

I've had my bike since December, (only started using it now the weather is picking up).. However, I've never ever ever been out on a ride out with other fellow bikers... Any1 willing to help me lose my virginity to biking in a group?!?!?!... Any takers?... or when is the next planned event around Preston / blackpool area?... regards! -Mits-

Hi all just need a little advice for a replacement exhaust system for my Yam XJ600 S Diversion, at the moment I have a standard exhaust (4 into 2) which is holey can anyone advise on a replacement cheaper the better, Thanks Andy

Hi all I am a new member and would welcome any advice or comments about TR1's as I have just brought one. The bike is in exelent condition with only 13,000 miles from new but has a problem with the gear lever not returning to its central position making gear changes difficult. I think it is just the return spring broken or not seated propperly as the previous owner said that it worked properly before he fitted a new starter motor. Has anyone done one of these? Joe
