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 .

Does anyone out there know if there is an after market skid plate that was fitted as standard to the TDM850 and would fit my TDM900? Don't like and can't afford the Yamaha bellypan. Cheers

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?????

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "' England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' ? What gobbledygook is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smo…

The Strom has been despatched to the Breakers Yard....and I brought this home today... 2004 TDM900 1200 miles as new! OK....here's the info: Left the house at 10am and got to Swindon just before 1pm. 45 miles of B Roads, then 80 miles of Motorway. My grey/ginger head got a right battering on the way up....particularly over the Severn Bridge! So I got to Swindon, had a coffee, did the biz, and left at 2pm. What's the TDM like? Well I saw it first being serviced on the ramp and they'd taken the plate off cos it had another dealer's name on it. And I thought it was a brand new one, not the used one that I'd bought! It had done 1200 miles …

I used to have a 2007 R6 - which came with a solo seat cowl and some blanking plates for the pillion pegs. I now have a 2008 R6 - which came with neither. Are pillion peg blanking plates available for the 2008 R6 - on first look, the 2006/2007 ones won'r fit.

Can anyone supply technical info or or spec modifications (or advise where info and pictures can be obtained) on the DT125 and YZ 125 off road models- The info required is from the year (approx) when the DT model changed from air to liquid cooled, up until 2005. Please go easy with technical info as I am an old git, in my day we would set points with a fag paper and pliers! Many thanks, Steve.

Hi returned to my time on the bike after a few years away...kids..mortgage...etc and have bought a FZR 600 genesis it being my old fave from years ago, However, at low speeds sort of 10mph to 45-50 mph it grunts and slightly splutters like there is no power there but when I twist the throttle hard it jumps in to life and runs like a dream .. also runs well for top speeds and for many an hour, however even after a good days ride every time it drops down to 10-50 mph it stumbles and just does not feel right.. any ideas or am i just a paranoid rider?? Oh forgot to say i do not know a jot about engines/mechanics and all that..as you may well be guessing!!
