I think I'm having issues with my Regulator/Rectifier, my bike keeps blowing up headlight bulbs, I took my Regulator/Rectifier out and the pins where covered in green corrosion, after sanding that off and cleaning them I don't wanna put it back in yet before I make sure it's functional. Does anyone know how I should test it? My user manual just says to check the batery voltage whilst it charged from the running engine.

I'm getting ready to buy one and can't find the vin never felt with bikes any help out there

Hi! I am thinking of buying an XJ900F and while searching for info I found this forum. I'm not an expert in mechanics nor in the XJ900 itself so, forgive me. While examining an XJ900 for sale in Portugal some doubts arised. (images attached) The bike is supposed to have been imported to Portugal from italy in 2011. I don't know if that is relevant for the spec. In my small research I noticed that all the engines from XJ900F's usually have an engraving on a black background saying "DOHC". In this bike the engraving is red, although I can't read it. The thing is, all XJ900 with the red engraving (supposedly) are earlier models that have a different fairing a…

Hey there! My name is Jay and I have a 2004 tt600re. I live in Uganda but travel to the usa for the summer months. The US never imported the tt600re so finding parts seems to be next to impossible. Do you know of a shop in the states that carries parts for this model or of a similar model that uses the same parts?

anyway , after a long time in my brother in laws garage the tank and panels have finally come home , It started with the seat holding water in the dimples, wet arse , so had to be re covered, here's the old one. so I started to remove the staples with a selection of tools , screw driver pin nose pliers pretty easy job, if you have pets keep your staples in one place or your pet will find them then get yourself one of these for £30, put the front on first then pull it over the back and make sure it's kinda lined up, put three staples in the front once you have the piped edge in place then repeat at the back, then start to staple …

So when I bought my xv125 I had a hose I'm pretty sure was attached to the carb and just hung down, I attached to air pod and filter and since then it's now only attached at the air pod and can't find the bit to attach to to the carb, can anyone point me in right direction, I've read service Manuel and can't seem to see where it is

Hi all, Hope everyone is well and hope it’s ok to post this…not selling anything or looking to spam anyone! I have a quirky and fairly urgent request for help please…and hopefully I can give something in return! I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I am looking for a Yamaha XSR 700 to record the audio for, for a videogame. I work in games, and have recorded quite a few bikes now, for a Moto GP game a few years back, and a more recent Ducati game, so have done this sort of thing before. This is for a new game – Ride 2 by Milestone. They are making efforts to make their games sound better, so we have recently been drafted in to help! My company is called TheAudioG…

I have a XS750 that makes a horrible noise when operating the starter motor like it is slipping. I have put a kit in the starter clutch which comprises of rollers and springs. I have also replaced the gear that attaches to the clutch that the rollers make contact with because the old one had some grooving. I don't know what to do next. It turns over a few times and then slips while making this horrible noise. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My son rides an Aerox 50yq. We keep going through headlight bulbs and it has been suggested that we have a fault lighting resistor. I cannot seem to find this part anywhere to purchase? I am wondering if I buy a complete headlight kit will this come with a new resistor or will I have the same problem with the new headlight set?

hi I've got a Yamaha aerox 100 2002 and I'm experiencing power problem so much I can even hold the bike back. I've cleaned the exhaust and carburettor and tweaked the fuel to air mixture but It still lacks power, I think the carb might of had it. any ideas much appreciated thanks mark

Ok so I noticed yesterday on my XV125 the speedo states Km/h on it and has the usual speeds up to 100, obviously at first you would assume the numbers are in Km/h but they don't as I've checked with phone trackers and such, anyone know why is this. Doesn't say MPH at all on speedo

Hi everyone The newbie is here again. I have my first manual bike after having a scooter for 4 years, and I am trying to get used to checking the chain tension......and it isn't going very well!!!! I checked the tension and according to Haynes Manual it was too tight so I have adjusted it to what it says, however I don't think the wheels are aligned now. Is there an easy way of finding this out, I have tried the string way and this is so fiddly I'm not confident it has worked. I think it is out of alignment as when I'm riding along the front wheel feels light - and ive lost my confidence going round sharp corners because a couple times it felt…

Any ideas where or who could make a fender rack for my xv125 as they only build the ones that come off back seat and I want mine as a seat replacement. Ones for xvs are too big it seems

Hi guys I've got hold of a saddlebag mount but it requires me to move rear indicators back about 5 inches, I've already got some bullet connectors but am unsure on what wire I need to use and where to buy from, I'm down south in UK if that helps people with suggestions.

(My front left and back left work and tick fine although something near the battery is making a strange sound as you turn them on). Does anyone know what this could be? Bye for now, louis
