G'day good people of the Yamaha forum I was just wondering what is the correct tyre pressure for my XJ900, I've been riding for many years but untill NOW I have never really needed to check the pressure due to never needing to check (something wrong there I know) Is there a web site where you can put in bike details and info is available? Please don't flame me for being a bad bad biker, unless the reply comes from Scott (USA) , Andy (Scotland) or KEEF (Aircooled land) Thanks in advance for any replies

Don't you just hate them? I took my bike to get a new piston fitted, was running sweet before it broke, I sent it to the garage, got a brand new piston and top end gasket fitted, and he has completely messed up the mixture and put the needle on the carb through the roof! seems like enough fuel is going through for a 125cc engine and it's only an 80cc, I told him not to because it's an aftermarket carb with race reeds, but he obviously took no note. It's obvious he hadn't even started it for more than 30 seconds let alone run it and set it up. Taking it in tomorrow morning so I can watch him set it up properly. Rant over Anyone else had bad experiences with dodgy mec…

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!?!

Hi, I'm after a Yamaha TW125 in good working condition. I live on the Wirral. Email me if you have, or no of, one for sale on [email protected] Thanks Jack

Hi there, Richie here and just found the site. I recently bought a 1981 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim and have learned loads about them from sites like this. Looking forwardto learning more and sharing stories etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did any1 go to the Bikesafe event in Blackpool on Sunday?... I managed to get some nice saddle bags, there were some beautiful bikes there!... Some of which, look as though they must only come out of the "temperature controlled garage" for these shows... Absolutely mint!.. I might get slapped for saying this but there was this awesome honda shadow!.. absolutely gorgeous!.. I tried my luck on the guess the 6 digit code for the harley rocket.. (1 in a million chance).. but nope, I was destined not to win it.. :-(

hi guys ,im trying to do my 87fz600 up for as little as poss since losing my job to show people it can be done for less ,i no there is lots out there in same position as myself , has this been the case with any of u ,wats the cheapest mod uve bought and has it worked out as good as buying a more expensive one ,i no its true what they say u get wat u pay for,i just want to no if u have bought something cheap and made it look awsome thanks

i've had my xs650 chop a while now and its still not roadworthy, every single thing i've looked into on it, taken apart, tried to fix has been botched, never in my life have i come across a so badly put together bike, i suppose thats what i get for buying off fleabay without going and having a look first, let this be a lesson to us all, NEVER and i mean NEVER EVER buy a bike without going and having a look at it first. you would think after 43 years on this world i would have known better but i jumped in feet first cos it was cheap, what a fucking disaster, every nut and bolt ive come across so far has been half arsed, its cost me more than i paid for it in parts. its got…

Hi there. Have been watching forum the last week while on holiday and seems very friendly, so here goes. I haven't been a biker for long (for my age), only twenty years and mainly 250's but as my lad was getting older and heavier I needed a bigger bike so chose a divvy 600 which takes us everywhere (we follow are local non-league football club) The reason I was looking at the forum last week was the bike wouldn't start. After buying and fitting a new solenoid it still wouldn't start so I bought and fitted a new starter relay and it still wouldn't start, so I started doing a continuity test and although it wasn't obvious at first the cable that runs from the starter but…

what's the worst injury you've ever had? never really had a biggie(touch wood). getting staples all across the bottom of my chin was pretty sore, that happened whilst riding my bmx at 15 with a bottle of cider in me the blood stain could still be seen on the pavement months later. getting my nose broke was pretty sore :roll: never broke legs or arms though. broke a few bones in my hand mountainbiking. oh yeah and chipped a bit of bone off me thumb with a hammer when building a fence last year :roll: what about you lot? anything serious or just the normal stuff?

what a shame it wasted my time to become a member of this forum, its the first one i´ve fully joined and i WAS very excited about my new yamaha and becoming part of a club, thanks for nothing though, could not 1 single person take the time to help out another biker here and give me a few simple bits to look out for when buying my next bike??? i remember when bikers stuck together and helped each other, what a shame this does not seem to be the case in this "forum" / "kiddies chat room"

I've got a YBA 125 Enticer,, the engine rattles and i cant find out what it is, the cam chain is fine. Anyway i've been looking for another engine and have come across a site that says the YBR 125 engine is the same as the one used in my bike,, is this true??. If so, are the mounts in the same place?? and how much can i get one for. Mine is an 03 so would i have to go for one that is nearer my bikes age or will they all fit. Cheers Terry

Hi all, I've just bought a '93 FZR600 (my first Yamaha) so I thought it would be rude not to find a Yammy forum and join. I first rode a bike in the sunny summer of 1978 - it was a Maserati - but I'm by no means a seasoned veteran and I'm certainly no racer. I've done a couple of trackdays though and I don't mind the odd venture off road either (purposefully if possible). In short I like to bimble around the twisties and catch up on all the bullsh!t at the burger stops. I'm in the North West, close to some darn good biking roads, which is nice. Take it easy and ride safe.

hi i have a standard dtr 125 1998 model, i want to fit some road tyres to it, i would love to have supermoto wheels for it, but cant find any so i am looking for tyres that will look nice and kind of like u know, like supermoto wheels but bigger, i was wondering what was the widest and lowest profile o could fit onto my wheels if anyone knew?

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
