    Hello, my name is Richard, and I'm a YZF addict. I passed my test recently, after years of RS125 'ing. Bought a really nice, no FANTASTIC!, Thundercat from WEBBS in Lincoln and cannot keep off it. My missus says I'm barred from it until she's at work tommorow. I'm counting the minutes and sort of just keep going out to the garage to look at it. I'm addicted. But any way that's not why I started this! I just wanted to say: Hello YAMAHA fans! What a great forum! Look forward to being here when I can't be out there!

    Hello all, Recently did a rider course that was required for a new job that i started. Even though i had been riding many fast bikes over many years, i had never heard of the term counter steering. Once learning and practising this technique i now believe this to be one of the most useful things that i have been shown when it comes to bike riding. For years when i wanted to avoid an obstacle quickly, i dropped the bike in the direction i wanted to go and gassed it passed the obstacle, then dropped it back to the original line. After being shown counter steering i will never rely soley on the old method again. Most of you are probably aware of this technique. For those of…

  8. Hello I purchased a set of radiator guards off e-bay and the packaging says it will fit 03-05 yamaha wr250. My is a 06 wr250 does anyone out there know if anything changed between 05 and 06 as far as the radiator shroud design. If I open them and try to fit them then I cant return them. The seller is willing to refund my money but I want too see if these will fit first. Thanks to eveyone who can help me on this. Kevin 06 WR250 [email protected]

    Hiya peeps Just thought I would say hello as it seemed rude not to Anyway, I have filled in my 'about me' page so I am not going to bother writing it all out again. I have been a Yamaha nut ever since I was old enough to reach the bike mags on the shelf. The first bike I saw in a magazine was the newly released Yamaha FZ750 and I have been hooked ever since My first ever bike was a Yamaha FZR400RR at 14. Purely car park and industrial estate riding, I never managed to fully appreciate the bike I bought a brand new R1 in 1998 (certified as number 137 off the production line), but I was only ever a passenger I'…

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to reset the display on my '05 reg. XT125X. It was serviced around 200 miles ago by a local independent workshop who are not able to reset the display. I don't really want to have to take it to a main dealer as that will probably cost a small arm and leg. I would appreciate any help/advice on this. Thanks John
