hi,yet another problem for an yam yx 600 radian.fuel tap works on vac system from carbs.the tap has no switch off position but constantly drips and fills the carbs up to the point of entering the air box and out the overflow.How is this supposed to work as the diaphram and spring and seal are all intact.

I wasn't really trying to push my 2005 R6 to it's limit, but on a clear French road, one day last year, I did find myself doing 144mph. By no means was I at it's 16,000 rev limit...and I only stopped at 144mph because I ran out of clear road. Have you redlined your R6, and how fast were you going? How fast will my 2005 R6 go, in your opinion?

Hi guys, found this forum by accident and it looks great! I had my beloved 1999 R6 stolen in November from the Derby area, the thieving scumbags took it in the middle of the night from outside the house!!!! the police had a report that it was being ridden in Leicester 4 days later, but did nothing about it until the following weekend (11 days later) by which time the bike had disappeared. I'm not expecting to get her back now, she's either in bits or is possibly out of the country, but I thought it worth a mention on here just in case anyone knows anything etc. She's very distinctive in Yellow and has a Vance & Hines end can, and she's also been lowered to…

Well after being away from the forum for around 6 years I have ventured back to say hello to you all, Scott, Keef, Andy, Mark and Nacho (pebbles) he'll understand. I'm back on two wheel in the form of a XJ900, all ready to use around France and Belgium looking forward to reading through a few of the posts on the forum. It's good to be back P.S forgot to say Hi to the boss Alex, I take it he's still in charge

Hi everyone. i've given up on cars now, im sticking to bikes for a few years and am now looking for my next one. so which one should i get?. im 5'8, soon to be 17 and dont like to be huddled up on a sports bike (although the GSX650F is very nice...) and also intend to do a fair bit of touring next year, im not bothering with 125s as i will be doing my full test and getting a real bike instead. would prefer to stay with an enduro bike, the XT range imparticular seem to be quite good but what are they like to tour on? input appreciated Steveo

hi, im completely new here so please dont slaughter me if i say something completely retarded. basically im in love with the yamaha XVS dragstar 125 and i intend on buying one when i turn 17 and riding it on my CBT. however in time i want to pass the A2 test allowing me to carry passengers and riding up to 600's at the age of 17. i just wanted to know how dragstars faired with passengers (im 6ft2 and 11 stone myself (fatty i know)) and how fast i could get one to go. im aware its a cruiser so its not a speed machine but i wondered as im going to keep it for a few years before i get on anything bigger what mods can be made and what difference with will make. this h…

Hi all I just got my new/second hand XJR1300 (not an sp) I also got the twin headlamps that fit straight on to it. I think they would look real good on it. The question is what happens to all the wiring and plugs that you find in the original single headlight ? what do you do to make them look good without all that excess wiring hanging around many thanks Dr Devious

Hi All Just introducing myself , just bought an XT600 after passing my DAS a couple of weeks ago, have been doing some off roading for a while on my TTR250. Looking for inspiration from other riders.

I have just been going though my emails and found I had a PM from somebody on this site. Turns out that its a spam email, but it reminded me that I was signed up to this site. I am currently yamaha less, having sold the RD250 and the DT125LC I still have a hankering for a V-max though! Co-incidently I have just found a load of old Yam bits at the back of the garage in a box, these might be looking for a new home soon. Cheers all! Phil

Just fitted new Exahaust to my XT600, burning my plastic plate ! Any good recommendations for an alloy plate ?
