Hello all you fellow Yama-riders - another Newbie checkin' in... I'll get this round. Barkeep... I just found this site through a Google search for "Yamaha clubs". I've been riding Yamaha's since 1980 (several other bikes before then, but only Yamaha's ever since.) I'm currently in the process of restoring a 1980 Yamaha XS850 Special (three cylinder, shaft-drive.) Please let me introduce "Sweet Melissa": (this pic was taken last summer - many changes since then and she's still a "Work-In-Progress") Anyway, "Hello Everyone" - I'm looking forward to spending lots of time here!

i got a '82 yamaha XT 550. Oil has started leaking from the bottom of the engine not a lot of oil just a few drips. but its enough that it lowers the oil level on the dip stick. i put more oil in adjusting the oil level to where it should be... Then i didn't ride for two weeks and now the exhaust note sounds different than it did two weaks prior and i hear what i think are the valves taping/a clicking sound coming from the engine. What yall think?

Just got me one. Well, its on order, and will be fitted tomorrow. I have been running Diablos, but decided to go for a Rosso tire to try and get a bit longer life out of it. Current Diablo has lasted almost 10 months. Does anyone here use them? Any experience of them would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello i hope someone can help me with this: i went to buy a TRX 850, cosmetically the bike was in a nice clean condition, but something bothered me, at the join between the head and the cylinder there was a thin line of discolouration all the way around the joint, but only on the left cylinder, i could not work out what this was i.e. oil, grease, or a disintegrating gasket. So i revved the bike and at mid range there was a dark colouration from the exhaust not a lot, just a thin viel of dark grey. from the exhaust. can anyone shed some light as to what this may be.

Anyway, this morn - I ran out of my flat to find the cover had been taken off, the front disc lock was on the pavement and the bike was lying on its right hand side. Picked the bike up and found no scratches apart from a very, very light stone chip or two on the side cowling can only guess the alarm went and they had the good sense not to drop it?? Bizarre... thought I would be looking at some new panelling. Couple of questions for you guys/girls and would be grateful for any advice: - I'm assuming i…
