Ok now the bike has been successfully run in now and had its first service. it now runs lovely and smooth. What a dream of a motorcycle to ride. My only `niggle` is the gears. The bike dosent seem to need all of them, going from 1st to 2nd its like just pulling in the clutch in first gear and letting it out in 1st gear, no difference.....lol. Anyway i have been told that thats the way the fz2 60 is anyway. It still sounds `cluncky` in the gears but again been tolsd thats what the bike does. So now setting my sights on taking it into Europe on a `jaunt`......lol, (got to make most of the free european breakdown that came with it)...lol, so anyone out there done this t…

Hi there, can somebody please help me out here with the true year of manufacture of my XV750. On my log book it says first registered in UK 1998, but on the green slip on the right of the log book it says "declared manufactured 1989". I know this is an import. The engine no. is 3AL-009212 The chasis no. is JYA3ALEO7KA009212. Now according to some vin no. info, my machine was manufactured in 1993 not 1989............am I right or not please?? see attached photos If I'm right my Virago is younger than it states on the log book so I need to change the details with the DVLA. Thanks in advance Adrian

Hey Guys.., Yamaha’s YZF R15 has already became the most expected machine of 2008 in India. Is there any after sales performance upgrade for this Bike,like ECU remapping??

Hi guys hope someone can advise me. I have a 6 month old majesty 400 on a ride to work in the cold the other day it took on a mind of it's own and when you shut off the throttle an decelerated it was ok down to about 2500 revs about 25mph then ACCELERATED moderatley up to 3000revs then back down to 2500...etc. At other road speeds it seemed ok and at the end of the ride the engine management light lit up just as I arrived at work. It actually climbed the small 50 metre hill outside the workplace on its own!! It behaved the same hot or cold. After work the bike seemed fine with just a littlle hesitancy in decelerating once again at 2500. It seemed to hold it's speed for ab…

Hey, can someone please help ? I was wondering if any other bike engines are compatible with a 1990 FZR1000 ? other brands or other Yamahas ? thanks.

Greetings Forum, I would like to know if there is a procedure available to remove an existing engine and replace it with a salvaged engine for a 1983 Seca 750. I have owned this bike for close to twenty years and would like to take this project on in the garage for the winter. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated. Regards, Phil

I want to sell my daughters YBR. Its on 06 plate with 2000miles. Its black. Want to get a bigger bike for her. How much should I ask for it?

I am sure there are many out there who have been down the same road, over the last four years my son and I have lovingly restored a black "A" registered DT 125 LC. Suffice it to say it was chained to a lampost one day with a chain that would hold a buldozer, yet someone managed to cut through it and stole the bike, Not heard of since and police not interested (does that ring any bells ??) Anyway, I have tried to find a replacement and have had no luck so far. So does anyone know where I could find a replacement. I don't mind where it is, I would just like to make my son a happy chap again.

Hello there, passed my test this year at the ripe age of forty! (mentally ten though) got a blue fazer S2 (2007) at a steal...I think Stratstone at Clycross undervalued it and I got it for a bargain...I think. Daughter can't wait to get on the back of it and ride to Matlock for chips and the arcades lol. Done loads of miles on it and has made me grin...especially after 8000rpm when it changes into bonkers psycho mode. now need a decent exhaust on the rear and a new back tyre. any advice please. Oh yes and after 22 years away from the saddle it feels absofoookinlootly brilliant.
