Hello all, I want to give my ybr yamaha a little bit more topspeed, is that possible with a K&N or other filter? The ybr does 55mph i want it to go 60mph. I just gave it a new maintenance with fresh Castrol juice and iridium sparkplug. I did also the valvejob and placed a new airfilter (original one from Yamaha) the reason why i want a little more topspeed is because it is now very dangerous with the trucks. Thanks in advance

Hi there, i've got me a kitch little blue YBR 125 and i'm not overly fond of the cornering, i have Michelin pilots on, but it's just not enough. I'm considering swapping out the standard wheels for that on YZF R 125 but i'm not sure what i'd need to attend to; comparability with the front brake callipers,, spindle diameter, forks as well as getting rear brakes from a YZF to fit the rear wheel. Has have they done it before or could anyone shed any light on this? Thank you -Kash

I have a 1972 Yamaha 360 RT2. When I was taking the motor apart there were metal peaces falling out of it and i cant find where they go. So I'm coming to the conclusion that the motor is toasted. I don't think it helps that is been siting for close to 12 years in a barn. And when it was park the guy i got it from said it was acting weird.. So I was wondering if anyone had a spear motor they would like to sell for a descent price and lives in Michigan. Or can I just put any kind / style of motor in it??? thanks for your help

What would b the best sparkplug to use in my fazer fzs 600 ??

hello. I have a yamaha xt 125 x, and was wondering if anyone knows of any grounding wire to connect to the frame to make it more fit?

Any MT-03 owners recommend this bike to move up from a 125 ?

hi i have a yamaha chappy 1983 lb50 in pretty mint condition does anybody have a idea what they are worth as i am thinking of selling it?

Hi guys I know it is rude to ask for help as I am a new newbie but I am a wee bit stuck. I decided today that I would change the plugs oil filters etc on my recently purchased fzr600 foxeye. I also drained the carbs and put fresh fuel in as the bike has stood for a long time and although running it was very hard to start etc. Anyway I have moved the radiator out the way to get to the plugs but none of the plug keys I have are small enough to get onto the nut have you any idea of the size? Just from looking at it I would guess a 13-14mm socket would this be right? Cheers

Hello I have a SR500 1978 and want to change the original front brake caliper to something more up to date.Can anyone suggest anything that would fit.

I need to fine tune my carbs on 1976 RD 400D. When I accelerate mid throttle the bike splutters a little before picking up speed. I think the carbs need adjusting. Any ideas, suggestions or info will be great. Cheers, Sean.

I am looking for a service manual for a 1971 Yamaha DT250. Downloadable or hard copy will do. Thanks in advance for the help.

hi all i have had my 1996 thundercat for just under 2 years now and for the past 4 months in my spare time i have been taking the engine apart and rebuilding it due to killing the gearbox...... after encountering a few other problems which have been overcome and managed i am now in the final stages of rebuild and the crank seems to be binding when its all built up. I am completely baffled i have taken apart and reassembled the top part of the engine multiple times to no avail. All i can say that the noise it makes when turned over is a grinding, rubbing sound and its coming from piston 3 area.... i think. Help......

Picked up a '78 XS400E couple weeks ago. It is my first bike in 35 years and my first street bike ever. Have been busy with work and all but ordered some parts and supplies (cost = 2x what I paid for bike, ebay+paypal=easygo) in preparation along with devising a game plan.Tomorrow the fun begins the weather is going to be unseasonable milt for a few days and I am hoping to clean the tank and carbs, perform tune up, install mufflers and will video results of start up and running (optimistic) and post results.

This morning I took a run out to the test centre for the Mod1 test as I will be doing it shortly. I was amazed at how big the area is! It must be almost three times the size of the area I have been practising on! After seeing this my confidence has been given a boost.

Afternoon guys First off, I have cleared this request with your lovely admin...thanks Admin! I work for Powerbronze (proud spnosors of SMR ) and we are desperately looking to borrow an XJ6-N 2009 onwards to finish test fitting a screen. We've tried dealers all over the south and no one has one! We are based in West Sussex and so the closer the better really, but we will take any help we can, and there's a free screen in it for whoever can come to our rescue! If you have this model bike, or know someone who does (why aren't they on here?!), please PLEASE could you give us a call on 01903 783222 (you'll need the sales office which is option 1), or send…
