Hi peeps, Was looking through some of my various XJ Turbo bits and pieces on my laptop trying to re-familiarise myself with how it goes back together, i already have a parts catalog which helps a fair bit but was wondering if anybody had a link to a service manual online? i have one for the DT50 which goes into great detail about how/where the wires should route e.t.c and would be a great thing to have for the turbo aswell any help appreciated Foameh

Hi , just getting back into the bike world after 20yrs. I have owned 3 Yamahas previously and found a 1983 Seca XJ 900. I know these are sort of rare and it needs a exhaust.. Will the exhaust from a seca 750 fit? I have been looking and its hard to fing one except on ebay where they are sort of generic 4-1 system. Any info would be helpful as I would love to rebuild this bike. Thanks in advance.

Hi I have been tasked with sorting out a problem with my nephew's Yamaha XT125R. The problem is, a garage has had a look and didn't fix it and now I have been given the bike plus the bits of clutch in a bag. I think I have found the problem, its the push rod, it seems that the end is broken. Does anyone have a breakdown on how to remove it or a workshop manual I could download. Thanks

Hi y`all, I have been looking about for some exploded diagrams for a DT50mx but hitting a brick wall as no where seems to have them. It would make it so much easier to rebuild so I could work out exactly what I`m missing. Online repair and service manuals also seem a bit thin on the ground - any ideas?

Heya peeps, The rain subsided today so i decided to check out the mega motorcycle store that bought out george whites earlier this year, i must say much of the kit is still at good prices, i even treated the fireblade to a set of oxford heated grips, reduced from £80 to £50 , was going to buy a nice alpinestar leather jacket which was £90 down from £299 but they didnt have my size and i couldnt carry it back on the blade they even had some of the old stock GW bikes in there for sale, has anyone else checked it out yet?

I recently bought some tools for my DT and I want a bag to strap to the seat, like enduros riders have little bags on the back, anyone know any decent tool bags for under £15. Also how do you put them on do you strap them under your seat or what?

Hi, I own a Yamaha DT 50/80 R. I bought the motorcycle with unlocked steering wheel, and no key from that lock. I was wandering, is it possible to make a key for this? What do I need to disassembly so I can remove the cylinder (without damage it) and take it to key maker? Thanks
