Hello to you all. I am having real probs with my switch, and having checked the haynes manual all seemed to be fairly simple procedure. Now having bought the switch and looked at the bike, the switch is held not with Phillips screws as the manual says, but bolts whose head snap off when torqued up. So, it means having to drill them and use an 'Eazeout'. Has anyone done this job before, and do you have any tips on how to go about it? I use my bike for work, so cannot have it off the road more than 2 days. Any idea as to the size of the bolts and torque pressure (I aint ever used these before)I will have to buy before starting? Any help appreciated, take care, stoot

hows every 1 doin?

I've recently moved to Tanzania where I bought a Yamaha DT 225 Lanza. Been looking for some spare parts from UK Yamaha dealers, no joy from any of them - they say that the chassis number is not recognised on their system. As this may not be a bike that is sold in the UK, has anyone any idea where I'd get spare parts from?

Hi Im new to forum. Ive got my 1st xt 550 25 yrs old. Im stuck for advice on parts that will fit onto bike. I need a headlight and tail/ brake light. either aftermarket or xt parts,preferably aftermarket or would a 600 tenere 83 headlight with mini fairing fit onto my bike ? I wanted a square headlight that most enduros have fitted, with little fairing surround. If anyone can help with parts, and fitting advice, would be really helpfull. desperate to get it on road.. Also the plastics are looking rough. Is there anything i can put on them to bring them up, to save money on new ones ? sorry for all questions, i really have no experience with trial bikes.

Hi- have an RD 350 project that I'd like to install a twin-disc front end on. Best way to go ? Thanks

When riding around town the tires dont get very warm but after a long scoot down the highway at higher speeds they warm up quite a lot more. What I've found is the following. slow speeds the tires feel good, higher speeds after warm up they feel that there is a weave in the bike when going back down to slower speed. I can ride for a while and still feel this weave in the bike at the slower speed. The next time I take the bike out again it feels fine until the tires warm up a lot more. Anyone else ever had this.

Maybe it's just me, but why do some people tuck their jeans into their boots? WTF?

hey, i was driving on the interstate the other day. Um, trying to keep up with my friends who do not have dualsports. anyway, the gas line going into the carbs blew off. The bike was still running fine on the interstate probably because she was all the way opened up. when i pulled off, the engine flooded and it turned off. i eventually put the fuel line back onto the nipple for the carbs. But now whats happening is this. With the gas off everythings okay, no leaking. THe engine just is really flooded if i kick it over and it won't start. When i turn the gas on, fuel starts coming out of the fuel emissions line.(the tube that is hanging underneath the bike, …

hi every one, some advice please, im facying a wr400 super m but i do a LOT of miles and wonder if any one out there has done lots of miles on one of these without having major and expensive engine problems. i will be re gearing it so its not over revving but do these bikes need pistons every few thousand miles and do gearboxes go etc etc. my other option is a honda fmx 600 but they are a bit bland in all depatments. any thoughts of benifit of your experiances would be very helpful, cheers , neil.

Just caled in to say Hi to anyone who remembers Ogri from the Wirral back in the 70s/80s. After sporning a couple of sproggs I'm sort of back!? Suddenly realized I never passed my full ticket so I had to take a CBT on a 50cc step through of all things. Can you imagine me 19 stone of relaxed muscle on a bog seat in my old 70's cross over leather? Any way managed to get hold of a 125 drag star so that it didn't look too small under me, every thing else looked like I had a roller skate stuck to my arse. So If you see a red drag star with a big bloke in an old 70's leather buzzin' around the Wirral area, It's Ogri. Nod or even pull me over and say allo. Whilst I'm at i…

I just knew there had to be a site out there like this. Looking forward to meeting everyone and adding where I can. On my first bike - I have taken it pretty well apart and am putting it back together now so... basically I know a fraction of what I want to know, and am willing to help anyone who might not know one of the few things I do. Oh yes, and my name is Aaron.
