The Bar

Mate of mine is doing a charity ride to Peru and one of her sponsors is the Army. The White Helmets donation to the ride is a free off road training weekend at Bovington Camp in Dorset...... and I have been invited along Always wanted to have a go at this, I love mountain biking and skiing and was always up to my neck in muck as a kid so I reckon this is going to be a fun weekend. Just waiting for the bumpf to come through the post, but any experienced mud skidders on here can offer some words of wisdom so I get the most out of the 2 days ?

Hi everyone have seen a few streetfighters on eBay lately and also remember seeing pics of Goffs wonderful 'Zuki. but what makes a streetfighter a streetfighter?, what criteria does it have to meet?. theres some cheap sports bikes around and im toying with the thought of having a bash at a little 250-400 streetfighter. - Steve

Hello everyone!! I just got in from my first ride on my 1987 (or 89... I'm not sure!) Yamaha Radian 600. It rode very nice! I traded it for an old GMC pickup truck, and I LOVE it. It's very sharp, and has 5,500 miles logged. My first (of many, I'm sure) questions is this: What maintenance should I perform right now? The last guy owned it for about a year, and he didn't even know where to put oil in, which pains me. I'm a Land Rover owner and I love working on stuff- so if there is a list of maintenance that all new owners should perform, I'd love to see it! THANK YOU, everyone!! -NewB

Hi everyone, i forgot to introduce myself so i thought i'd throw this up and let you see the bloody mess i've made of a nice bike. I've just bought an 'Ace for a few long trips over Summer with me mates and the missus in Europe. Its not the first Yam i've owned and truth be told all my mates still consider me to be a Yamaha Man, over the years i've had DT50, RS125, YB100, YPVS350, FZ750, FZR600, FZR1000 Gen, and probably a few more i've forgotten. I bet the pics dont work, i'm Terry Fuckwit when it comes to 'puters.

Anyone experiencing the same pinging noise? I googled it and it seems like it's fairly common just want to hear it from 1st hand yamaha owners.Here in South Africe we run 95 Octane fuel.I've been told octane booster will sort it out, but my main concern is, is it harmfull to ride with the ping?

Hi folks, Just purchased a Carbon front mud guard extender, and not to sure what type of glue I should use. I would appreciate some advice on this, thinking about it myself it would have to be some kind of silicone sealer any advice would be welcome. Phil.

Hi everyone. ive got my school prom in June and some of us have started making plans already RE: Limos and transport and all that mumbo jumbo. but whats the best way to make an entrance?, something different preferably, but not OTT. Maybe i could sweet-talk Goff into giving me a ride on the back of her streetfighter

just a quick question! on a normal sunday ride out how fast does the average bloke or lady ride before they say thats fast enough and they back off the throttle and say THIS IS STUPID!. Bearing in mind its a nice national speed limit road they know and the weathers perfect an all that stuff. I know people are going 2 say, depends on the bike and the experience of the rider, but everybody has a limit don't they? is it just nudge the 60mph limit or abliterate it!!!!!!!!!. thanks.

yea you read it right she is a beast, i love to ride her shame it isnt a yammy Kawasaki Ninja Zx6r

Having a chat at work today and Pete asked me when i was going to restore the old nail (the DT). I said i wouldnt want to as after having the bike since 1988 just about every scratch dent and bodge are mine. Its generally tidy although the engine needs some hugs and kisses, rattle can paintjob and it has been used to commute, trail, enduro. Everything. He couldn't see this and said it would look great if i restored it to its former glory. We couldnt agree and i wonderd what you lot thought......?

Hi First of all hello to all I'm new on here and from Dublin Ireland. I do not own a Yamaha at the moment but have owned many in the past and am looking to get a Yam 2 stroke. In the past I have come accross a number of RGV 250's with RG 500 engines fitted. Then I thought why not put an RD500 engine into a TZR. Has anyone ever done this?? What do you think?? Regards Brian

any members attend this rally, after this event, a woman in my street told me that her bush now smells of pee ?
