My 1982 Virago has 22,000k and has never had any oil leaks until the last month or so. Leaks have begun around the outside of both front and rear cylinder head gaskets next to the crankcase. I have snugged up the 3, (three) allan screws on each side with no success. It has been suggested that there is increased pressure in the crankcase that has to be addressed. Is there a crankcase vent or other vent that may be plugged? All sources I have checked are vague on location etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi guys im hoping somone can help i have recently upgraded from a pit bike to a DTR125, It starts and runs fine except one thing, when you pull off the engine wants to die sometimes it does sometimes it bogs down a bit then starts to accelerate, as soon as i am going about 5 miles an hour the problems stops and runs really well goes through all gears you can feel the power valve it is just when you get to a slow speed it wants to die. the worst is hill starts. it seems to get better after about an hour of running but hoping i can get thsi sorted. I dont know if it matters but it used to be a road bike all elctrics have been stripped and auto oil mixer removed too. …

Couple of months ago, got on my bike one morning, and none of my lights were working.... I had ridden home the night before and didnt have any problems, no flickering, not excessively bright. buzzed out wiring loom... no shorts, put the loom back in.... battery shorted and power AND earth cables melted. buzzed out loom on bike last night... all three wires leading to the headlight are earthing out with the bike switched on and not running. Regulator/rectifier works fine. bike runs fine... having to ride wit battery not connected to avoid the shorting Unsure what to make of this, bit of a noob at electrical stuff and crap at troubleshooting, tried all I can t…

HI, I'm not too technically minded so hopefully I can find someone here who would be able to offer some advice. My main headlamp doesn't work (dipped or head). Although the blue head-beam indicator is permanently on and the bulb appears fine (having checked the little element), only the secondary bulb seems to be work. I got it to work briefly by tightening it but after a few 'tightenings', it appears, now, to have died. If I can save myself the $$ Ill try and fix it myself, so would be very grateful for any suggestions.... I thought it might have been a fuse (as a car) but I doubt my little YBR has a fuse for the head beam..... Thanks a million

Was just wondering if there are any Yamaha perks, I know other forums sometimes get discounts for bit's and pieces vehicle related. I've also seen that Carrick Yamaha (Edinburgh) are doing a £79 winter service + 30 point check, obviously they're looking to get as much ££ out of a customer as they can but any thoughts on this? Cheers Cam.

I have a 1962 Yamaha 60cc yj1. I was wondering if anyone knows what value it has. It is complete, motor not froze up, good condition for sitting for many years, needs new seat. If I could figure out how, I'd insert a picture of one like it. Thanks, Shirley

Hi there guys, The front shocker on my YBR125 has started leaking. Been looking for new ones but all i can find are seals. Is it just a case of topping up the oil and replacing the seals? If so which oil should be used. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hi Guy's. I felt some mild rubbing whilst on the way to the gym this morning, i know that the chains runs along a guard on top of the swing arm so just rode as normal. How ever, once i started to get closer to the gym it slowly started getting worse. I finished at the gym and made my way to work, it was now a serious rubbing and only got worse and worse until i got to work. Upon arrival i've noticed some metal filings on the swing arm and it seems the chain is rubbing on the inside of the rotation (so the bottom when the chain is making its way to the back sproket and the top when its making its way to the front sproket. Because of the covers etc i can't see…

Hi, Yesterday I went to pick up my DT125 LC 1982, It's a pretty nice looking bike and they've put quite a bit of money into it. However they haven't finished the wiring and I don't currently have a manual, does any of you know where to find free on-line manuals? Also I have part of the throttle cable that is broken (the nipple has come of the cable) so I need a new one but can't find them, so if you know where please tell me Pictures of the bike: Pictures of the wiring: The broken throttle cable: Thanks, Ollie.
