The Bar

Hey everyone i am new to the site as i have recently purchased my R6 so felt like it was only right to join the yamaha owners club and share some experinces with like minded individuals. I have however got a query i hope one of you more experinced riders could help me with. I have bought a Blueflame Evo oval can for my R6 1999 i wanted to know where i can get a slip on link pipe from i have hunted high and low and have came up itemless. Its got a diameter of 50mm. Could anyone help!!!!!!!!! Cheers.

Its been running sloppy for awhile under 4k. Had trouble starting her this morning, but it went after a few tries. This evening, no go. No matter what. Even a push start did nothing. I reckon its the plugs. Got new ones arriving (CR10EK) tomorrow hopfully. My fingers are crossed.

Hi, I live in Spain and have been offered a UK registered Yamaha TDM 850. Before I go ahead and bring it over..does anyone know if they were ever sold (homolgated) in Spain or were I might find out if they were.. Cos its a lot of hassle importing a bike into Spain..and if they were never sold here officially..then its virtually impossible to register it legally. Cheers, Harald.

Hi all, Guess this is were I come to introduce myself and get the next round in. Anyway I'm from Ireland and at the moment have a full Yamaha garage. I'm currently running an 89 1000 Exup, a 92 Vmax and a 99 WR400 converted to supermoto. Its a big change to jump from one to the other. Must try and post a few pics when i get a chance but having lots of internet problems a t the moment. tim

My Chain was FUBAR, and following a suggestion from here, I bought a Tsubaki XRing Sigma chain. Having done s ome research, its, its meant to be the one to beat. I have no experience with XRing chains at all. I fitted it yesterday, and the difference was immediatley apparant as the wheel rotated smotthly and for much longer then the old chain allowed. Riding it however, I had an "Oh Shit" moment. The nosie it makes is unnerving. Its sounds like a knackered old grea box. It whines under any load at all. Is that normal for XRing chains or is there a problem? I replaced both sprockets too by the way. Thank you in advance for you help. Neil

Hi Guys. Been away a while. Been riding this: and this: but just bought this: Gee life is dull!

Good afternoon to you all, Please some advice from experienced boarders would be great! I just got myself a lovely little yam RSX100, £260 for a 1990 in good nick. I do need to replace the tires, and was wondering where is the best place to get them. Im not necessarilary looking for the cheapest option, however other then ebay (and i have looked), i got no idea where to look! With cars, you can just take them down to the local garage and hey presto - new tires! How about with old bikes? Could i just call a yamaha dealer, do thety still make this type of tire? Any assistance you could give would be great, please excuse my ignorance on this matter but as i sa…

I have taken the bike to Yamaha and they have mapped it properly. Have tried richining up the map on the low of the commander with no diff. If I crank it over and hit the kill swith and then restart it goes right away. Any suggestions or recomendations would be greatly appreciated. Stumped in Kelowna .

Hello guys and gals! This is all very new to me, im a complete internet virgin, can u believe it at the age of 28! Anyway, im thinking about fitting a Dyno-jet Power Commander to my beautiful baby. Shes a 2005 YZF R6, i know they are easily fitted and i could prob do it myself. However is the cost of this actually worth the better prefomance? Now im no track racer, but i do like a squeeze round the bends.........the bottom line is, is it worth the money?????
