The Bar

Hi everyone, The old man's been looking at getting a moto guzzi california as he is now unable to fit behind the tank of the fireblade, but whilst on eBay came across a Yamaha XZ550, complete but in need of recomissioning, looks very unusual as its an oversquare v-twin but are they worth anything and are they any good?. hopefully someone else on here will have experiance with these 80s' bikes

When I turn the handlebars on my 2008 xt125r the headlight flashes. When the bike is on the light comes on automatically which is normal, but when I turn the bike the light dims. I have taken all the instrument panel off and there is no wiring problems/bare wires etc anyone got any ideas. Also the neutral indication light on the dash (blue light) has also disappeared. Don't know if this is part of the same problem. Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.

i'm looking for a website where i can buy genuine parts for my moto-4 250 not sure on year i think its in the 80's and what oil should i use in this and does anyone know where i can get a owners manual from sorry if i broke any of the site rules cheers,

i need to buy some new gold wheel rims or get my rims and spokes replace for my yamaha tdr 250, does any body know where i can buy some?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone thought a 2000-2002 R6 was a target for theft. I live in Brooklyn New York and have been riding older cheaper yamaha's since I started riding about 5 years ago. I don't do track or particularly long rides. It's really just a way for me to get around. Initially it was because of my budget limitations but then I realized that it's great to be able to park right outside your apartment and hop on and go whenever the mood strikes and knowing that it will still be where you last parked. Then I bought an FZR600 and fell in love with inline 4 sportbikes. For 3 years it was kept on the street and never stolen. Got knocked over a few times…

Nice mat for ya ta ly down on and admire your bike

Hi folks, is there anywhere on the bike to find the key number? I have one original Yamaha key but it doesn't have the number on it. Thought it would be easiest to order via the key number. Thanks Dave

I have aquired a V reg xj600 as a project bike but unfortunately the previous owner has cut off the rear of the frame ( I think he was intending to build a street fighter). Will the frame from an earlier model fit the bike or did they change frames from year to year? Any help or information will be appreciated.

I have pretty well bought this bike, getting delivered next weekend. Question I have is that all the pics I've seen of these bikes are red or white and have the wide grey swoosh on the tank and side covers. The bike I'm looking at is all black and just has yamaha in print on the tank. It doesnt look to have been painted or dropped and has 40000 miles on it. New here so haven't fiqured how to post a picture of it yet. Any input would be great. Thanks

Hi, Have just got a 175C (white tank/red stripe), need some help please, Does anyone know if an exhaust P/N 437-14753-02-00 will fit the above bike? Some people say yes others say it will only fit the 175A or B models - I thought basically all three were the same? Thanks in advance.

hi everyone, im currently restoring a classic 1984 yamaha rs 125 and can not for the life of me find a site to buy a seat, wheels, front forks and fuel tank for this model, if i get these, my bike is complete, really irritated now, help would be very much appreciated

I just found another xs850. It's the 2nd one I've owned. This one slips or should I say bangs or slams out of gear when on the throttle Not when down shifting. Only when on throttle. I'm not to familiar with these bikes.

Anyone know if the solenoid from from any other Yamaha will fit this bike.

Not to sure if there is ment to be one, I don't have one but I don't know if its been lost and been replaced with just a screw on cap

How much would it roughly cost to get a DT 125 serviced?

I'm not very good at changing all these oils, I'm just making sure that under the kick start (ON A 2 STROKE) there is a little plug sorta thing, do I put gearbox oil in there?
