Hi All, Just got my Yamaha V star couple weeks ago - great bike, except the handle bar position. Rode Honda CB900C before this and the bar was just right on that bike - very comfortable, even after 800 miles. I see there are variety of replacement bars out there, as well as custom riser now available, anyone has any experience with using these? Which bar can use the stock cables, any idea? Ride safe

just wondering if anyone knows of anyone that has tried or succeded in doing this and if it was a ball acher to do or not. thanks

Hi everyone, i am new to this site. i have a problem with my grizzly and am hoping that someone out there can help me fix it. I bought a 98 600 grizzly back in march and still havent gotten it running right. ive put 1000 bucks into it in parts alone, new clutch, coil, carb kit, etc, etc... the problem i am continuously having is the bike backfires and quits after it has heatened up and been riden for a few minutes.... after waiting a few minutes it will start up and run for a few more minutes before quiting again.... ive redone the carb, flushed out all the lines, changed coils, new battery, and so on. i dont think the cdi is bad, but i am running out of parts to change. …

Can anyone tell me how to get the photos I have taken of my dt engine onto this forum so that I can discuss a gearbox problem. I took the photos and have downloaded them into my document file, but that's as far as I can get. It has to be said that I'm very poor at computer stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

The emulsion tubes on of my carbs are so badlly worn that you can see it with the naked eye. It has been fitted with dynojet needles and these may or may not be worn, so I am replacing the lot with standard main jets and needles. Does anyone know what position the E-clip should be on standard needles? The Haynes manual states that you should note the position of the clip before taking it to bits, which is not very helpful. In case anyone else needs carb spares NRP are so much cheaper than Mr Yamaha. Regards Mark.

i recently bought the r125 in black and was wondering if any1 knows of any decent mods 4 it exhausts, filters etc???

This morning, as I trundled along the A13, I had my own little Karl Harris moment. Following a car and van, I saw something in the road, ahead of the van. As it passed over, the object got caught in the back wheel of the van. The car behind swerved to the right and the lump of timber (for that's what it turned out to be) met me at head height. It bounced off my lid just above the visor and continued its aerial journey towards Lakeside. I tell you something; a bit of 4x4 wood banging into your crash helmet whilst you're doing 70 mph (officer), is a highly focussing moment. Fortunately, there was no loss of control (apart from the sudden, brief smell of adrenaline ) a…
