The Bar

Hello I am just wondering if you can tell me who will be the main sponsor of the italian factory yamaha world superbike team for next season? As I am really interested in doing my bike in the same colours and just wondering if the sponsor will be the same. Thank you

Worked my ass off over the weekend, playing lumberjack as I gave the 4 big maple tree's in my front yard, a long overdue trim......spent both Saturday & Sunday running a chainsaw from a good 20+ft. up a ladder. .....looks like a tornado touched down @ my place now! Weather was great as it was in the 80'sF both days......so I managed to get out for a spin both evenings just to kool off & blow all the sawdust outta my hair & pockets! ....... I've seen plenty of squirrels, jay's & crows(flying rats!) around my place in the last 20 years......but this was the 1st time I've ever seen 1 of these chaps hanging out around my garage ...... …

Hello, Just started here. I was needing some help on a 1975 Yamaha tx500 that has been sitting for 10+ years. A friend and I cleaned the carbs, the tank and was set to take it out. The idle sounded great, but when it was put into gear it was at half power with full choke and wanted to die. I pulled the top of carbs thinking that it wasn't getting enough air for fuel mixture. It seems that fuel is getting to both sides. Then I put my hand on the exhaust, the right side is firing warm but the left side was cold. I pulled the left plug and it was sparking a nice white/blue spark. My friend put a comprsion gage on it and it has the same compression on both sides. My question…

Hi. I am thinking of putting an EVO2 Quill exhaust on my 2003 R1.has anyone done this or should I keep the original.

Hiya, Just joined so thought I would say hello, just bought a FZR600 Genesis today so much different to my blackbird Hopefully I can get some tips on here on how to possibly make improvement to it, especially in the braking department are there any calipers etc from more modern stuff that fit straight on ?

I am going to fit the scottoiler on my S2. has anyone fitted one on their bike?

what is the difference between the two? besides the european market and the decals?

I've lost my ignition key and need help determining the cheapest way to get a replacement. I own a Seca 900. Can you please help. thanks, Roy

I am new here and I wanna pick some brains

Hi, i would like to say hello to you all first, and ask question after. my name is doni and im from belfast, northern ireland but am now living in england. i used to be a bike fanatic in my teens, but fell out of love wiv em after i came off wiv me brother on the back of a 500cc quad, and he ended up in hossie for about 3 weeks. i was thrown clear of the bike but the bike landed on my bro and broke a few ribs, caused a 12" gash through his arm to the bone and he suffered slight concussion as well. anyway, my son decided he wanted a bike, so i just bought him a yamaha pw90 from a friend of his friends, and i dont know much about it. the only thing i can really see …

Gonna keep on the bike for the cold and wet part of the year. Can anyone offer any advice/tips for winter riding and keeping safe on the road. Thanks, Kev

i just purchased a beaten or dropped 96 yzf 600 and i was wondering what parts may be interchangeable from the different years of yzf's. the 90's yzfs appear to be very similar. especially the tanks and body work. i have some cracked body panels that i want to replace or fix. any ideas?

thank god for ebay and halfords lol, cost me just under 100 quid and did it all on my weekend off! waiting that week before i polished it was a bloody long wait though!! lol

Hello all! My 1st proper post. I'm putting together an XS400 DOHC Maxim/Seca thing. Major worry at the moment is the petrol tank - I just don't have one, and it'll be a real job to find one in the UK, I think. I've been offered one off an XJ750 Maxim. It looks the same shape as the pics I've seen of the 400. Does any one know if it's more or less the same size? I don't mind if it's a bit big, just don't want it to be hooooge! Thanks

anyone know why theyve upped the seat hight on the new r6 to 850mm? i tried one on in a showroom and was on tiptoes on both feet! BMW taking over yamaha by any chance? lol

Hi I am strugling to find much info on the bike I am going to look at this weekend I am looking for a YZF R6 1998-2003 model, please can you give me any common faults on these I am kind of aware of the 2nd gear thing but any info on that would be appreciated. I am hopping to get one with milage from 10-20k and dont want to buy a lemon. I have tried searching this forum but you cant search for r6 as the search needs to be minimum 3 letters long per word, also I have looked on the internet for r6 forums yamaha forums but I cant really find any good ones so if you could point me to a more specified forum that would also be great. Thanks very much for any help it will …

Hi Folks, I own a '92 3HE FZR600 Genesis (tho its says 1994 on V5 doc), which I use daily and enjoy. But wanted opinions from other owners. My bike really doesnt seem to like pulling away too well when below 3000 rpm and I find myself dropping gears to overtake people. Bike pulls well through the range apart from that. Is this normal - or should I be worried?!?!?!?! Also on the lookout for an exhaust and engine casings ( to replace minor damage caused by previous owners ) if anyone has anything out there for sale! :-) Looking forward to hearing from other owners!
