The Bar

Hi all, new to your forum, fairly new to biking too. Still on my first one. Hope to get to know you all better here soon!

I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to invest in one of the chain lube systems (scottoiler etc) or stick with the spray lubes. Are the automatic systems too messy ? If spray on is better, which type: thick and sticky or a thinner one.. Any advice would be helpfull. cheers sim666

Hi does anyone out there know where I can get a windscreen for a 2005 YBR 125? I know there is one made by yamaha but is there any from other manufacturers out there? Cheers Jimbosimbo

Hello! Can anyone help? I have flooded the engine of my brand new dtr125, any ideas on how to get it running again?

anyone know the paint code they use for the R1/R6, Aerox etc? had an accident in the wet on saturday night one fairing snapped and rest of the bike's covered in scratches and there's a HUGE dent in the exhaust ye, so i ordered the needed fairing and went to get the wet and dry + sand paper and laquer earlier and had a flick thorugh the paint catalogue didn't have the yamaha metallic blue i was gutted so the fella said if i get the codes he could probably mix them up for me

I am a bit confused by the R6 running temperatures. It tends to settle around 70c on a run during a cold morning. If I let my beauty reach 80 or 90c idling in traffic, it tends to stay there on a run. The fan comes alive at 100c, commonly at lights or during traffic. How does this beast operate?

Hi everyone, I'm new here ... stumbled across this site whilst looking for a seat cowl for my 2005 FZ6N, so thought I'd join up to see if I can get any assistance with where to find one I reside in Brisbane, Australia with my husband and children. As stated above, I ride a 2005 FZ6N which I've had for a couple of years. Before that I rode a Honda CBR250 and before that I had a Yamaha Virago. I also have a 90cc scooter which doesn't really get used much now-a-days as I just love riding my 600 My husband rides an 01R1 Streetfighter which he loves and really doesn't want to upgrade We also run our own motorcycle forum based in Australia ... it has bee…

Hello again you lot! I've not been on here for a long time as I joined up with the MTOC havin' an MT01 & an MT03. But I didn't forget you. I need/would like your advice. I'm looking to get another commute scoot as the 03 can get a bit tiresome on my daily 80 mile return trip to London. I have been offered a reasonable deal on a 2007 TDM 900. I see a lot of 'em so they can't be too bad, can they?. Do they stand up well to the daily wear and tear. I'd like to understand there strengths and weaknesses. Anyone

Hi there chaps and chapesses. I pick up my new FZ1 on Saturday, this being my first bike since I got rid of my ThunderAce three years ago. I have asked for a full set of Yamaha luggage to be included but apparently the top-box plate has been discontinued! Can anyone please assist? Willing to pay for a part in good nick.

Hiya, My baby is my 1990 FZR400 3TJ in red and white, can anyone help me with the paint codes as she needs a little tlc. Thanks. Bex

Its taken all day to sort out my mates garage after some twunts tried to nick his bikes. They came 4 days ago but couldnt get in, made a mess of the doors tho. This time they got in after cutting his new locks open, didnt take anything, but checked out what locks and chains were on his 3 machines. His Kwak 636 is in his house now, another has gone to a secure lockup and the other machine cant be moved, to big... Mr plod said "Nothing can be done" Great that is. Surely someone saw the vehicle they came in, it was big enough, you can clearly see the tyre marks. So, if you live in Rossendale area and have a garage thats away from your house, be warned theres bike …

I'm looking for replacement mirrors for an FZ750. What I would like is some that stick out further than the original as all I can see is my elbows. They are faring mounted with 46mm centres for the bolts. So my question is what other mirrors would fit the bike. Mark

Hi all. Just found this fourm while trawlin the net for fitting instrauctions for a spyball alarm. As i ride a yamaha, i thought it was my duty to register.

I attended my 1st trackday yesterday at Snetterton (UK)! despite it being VERY windy and gloomy all day (although the rain held off until about 3pm) i had an awsome time and learnt alot about my riding techniques Roll on the better weather, i'll definately be going back and i recommend it to anyone who hasnt tried it before, brilliant day! Just one picture of mine and mates bikes lined up but there was a photographer there on the day and am just awaiting the pics to be uploaded then ill get some up. Despite my mates riding H*ndas ( ) 1 being a 'blade and another a 600RR they both admitted to my R6 being a complete "missle"
