Hi all i am a member. i am just wondering if there is any Yamaha motorcycle clubs in Edinburgh or Lothians area? cheers Kris

Right dropped my old 1998 fazer 600 last week on some diesal gutted, but i figured it was time for a new one as my licence restrictions have just eneded.... This is my old one, loved it to bits but well its just about beyond economical repair, fantastic bike just could have done with half the 40,000 miles on the clock. This is this summers new ride.... and i cant wait to get on it

This is my first post, and I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I just picked up a 79 XS750SF. Bike looks like it was well maintained, but when I started it up, gas started pouring out of the air box after a few min. Thinking that it was a stuck float, I pulled the carbs off, cleaned them completely, and put everything back together. When I started the bike again, gas started leaking from the air box again. The only thing I can think of is that I may have been running the bike with the petcock on PRI. I've never had a bike with a "prime" setting on the petcock, so I was unfamiliar with what that setting was. Could this have been my problem?

hi i have an 03 dt50 which has lack of power only reaches about tennish mph. can anyone help cheers

Hi All I have not long bought myself a 2009 YBR and I had read that the headlights are not very good on the bike. I looked for alternatives to the HiD conversion and was told to try some osram night breakers or riders so i opted for the night riders. They came today (and I might be being a bit thick here) they have a totally different fitting to the ones in the bike. I was lead to believe it was a straight swap over from the standard to the night riders. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this sounds pathetic but i have just blown my last 12 quid on these bulbs and as they are from ebay I doubt I'll have much look returning them. Thanks

Hi, Got an XJ6 and I'm toying with the idea of changing the front lights over to LED's 1) Has anyone done this on their bike? 2) Got any recommendations as to which bulbs or if its worth it? Cheers in advance

I have found this web-site http://cvieth.bplaced.net/motorrad_exupdummy.html in German (i speak fluent German) of a private Yamaha rider- boffin who makes servo dummies from home. Appears to be an electronics genius. I have already used his headlight rewire info to gain brighness both on low and high beam, simple, cheap and effective and am waiting for a date for the servo dummy because the chip boards he uses are out of stock at the moment. The servo dummy is going to cost aroung 25 Euro including postage. Anyone else interrested?

Hi ... I've go a problem with what I think are the 1st 2 cylinders of my bike, they are either over fueling or not getting proper spark to burn the fuel properly. I believe my carbs are functioning properly so I am thinking it maybe an electrical issue .The middle and left spark plugs are very wet with fuel, the right plug seems to be burning very clean. Almost since new, once in a whlie I would have a starting issue and would have to fiddle with the wiring harness near where it goes from the steering column to the engine . Could this be where my problem could be or is there another electrical spot I should be checking out .. ?

Hi Guys, Could someone help me with the settings of the Yamaha Alarm & Immobilizer settings? The alarm keeps arming itself which makes working on the bike difficult. I know there is a "Service mode", but I don't know how to set it. The user manual is no help either. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards

Hi guy, i have had my yamaha dragstar 650 for about 4 weeks i have tried to start it & its not starting at all, could this be due to a lack of engine oil? what are your thoughts as dont want to get charged lots for a garage to check it over yet. Thanks

Hi new to the forum, can anyone tell me if any other shocks fit the TDM850. I need a replacement and can't afford a new one, someone told me that the R6 fits but i can't confirm this. Any advice will be greatly received.

Hi, all. Anyone know wether replacing my mirrors is just a case of removing the 2 bolts on each mirror or do i need to start removing other parts, as i am not sure if there are nuts on the back or not. Cheers

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the bottom end of the standard sr250 engine, and take the top end, bore and piston from a sr400 engine? Knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Ok so I have a 1977 Yamaha Dt 400... I'm looking to buy a manual for it, I found one but it says on the cover that it's for a Dt 400 (d) and I have been led to believe that mine is a Dt 400 mx?? The book still seems to be based on the 400cc engine and the monoshock... Question is will it work?? This is my frame incase anyone can tell what it is from the photo This is the cover of the manual
