    SAT 15th NOV 2008 - 3PM TIL VERY LATE - THE GOLDEN FLEECE, LOUTH Think you can still save it? Celebrate the glory years, and remind us all how fast you were... A note from the TZR website: Celebrating a time when racing an LC on a tiny budget was a first step to international stardom for riders of the caliber of Niall MacKenzie and others, the Marlboro Clubmans championship oppitomised all that was great about motorcycle racing in the 1980's. A few die hards who cut their racing teeth in quarter-litre production racing are still hard at it - take a look at Mike Edwards for example - having had a career that took him from 250 proddy racing at 3-Sist…

    Hi, Im not new to biking but am new to owning a yamaha and am trying to do a bit of research about my bike hoping there is someone out there who has the knowledge i need to aquire. Basicly I have managed to get my hands on TZR 125 R Belgarda 4DL, although mechanically its sound as a pound ( after a bit of TLC and some minor parts) however cosmetically there are a few odds and sods to sort out, the worst being my extremely rusty swing arm, its only surface rust an can be prepped and painted but I was looking on ebay (as I tend to do as i like to keep an eye out for the rarer parts you never know when you may need them) and noticed a few swing arms on there most of which …

    Hi I've recently rebuilt (with the help of my boyfriend) a TZR125r 4DL 1991.. We have it running but it seems to go through plugs every few times we start it up.. someone has said that we need to probably adjust the carb settings but we can't find out what it should be set at anywhere.. does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    Hi everyone, i've just bought an early model tzr 125 and while i may also soon be posting asking for help on obscure knowledge for how to get it running perfectly, it should be manageable... (im going to regret saying that) So in short im wondering if anyone remembers the best ways to squeeze reliable power out of the 2rk (i need to check exact engine codes tomorrow) motor and if there are any reliable specialists still about. Also a more specific question i have about my new purchase; do the later model (4dl etc) servo motors for the ypvs valves fit straight onto the earlier models? As i have a U.K restricted model i assume making the YPVS work as intended is …

    Hi, i own a 2002 tzr 50 (pre foxeye) and it is a grey import so i struggle to source parts at a reasonable price, and recently a bucket full of decorating bits and bobs fell from the loft of my garage onto my tank and left a very large dint in the petrol tank, i was just wondering if anybody had any clues as to where i can find a new tank or repair the current tank at a reasonable price as i have searched and found nothing under £300, also i was wondering if anybody had any tips as to running it, whether i should leave it standard or source some aftermarket performance parts and any suggestions on oil, im currently running it on silkolene scoot sport but i dont believe th…

    Fancied a little bike to relive my youth and came across the TZR 50 and loved it's looks so much I bought it (wasn't even looking for a 50), went out on it with a friend of mine on his restored 350lc and found my little ped actually flew and was going faster than the speedo would tell me. It hits a powerband in every gear at 6000 rpm and he clocked me at 64mph going into the red in top gear (had a bit left in it but I didn't want to hold it in the red). Anyway my question is is my flying ped likely to have had a big bore kit fitted somewhere down the line or can this be achieved with the stock motor?

    Hi, Could anyone tell me if I can get a tail tidy for a Yamaha TZR 50? I can't see any, would one off a R1 or an R6 fit? If it has indicators built in, do I need to change some wiring? How easy is it? Just asking because I haven't really got much experience. Any help would be appreciated.

    Today I was outside giving my TZR a bit of love polishing her and I decided to start her and when I decided to warm her up as i havent started her for about 3/4 days so wanted to check the battery and such like and consequently every time I changed to gear one she cut out? Is there a reason for this I know the clutch is disengaging correctly what else could be causing this? Thanks Guys

    Scratching my head trying to get the bike running but no spark from the coil, have checked all the wiring all seems good, currently getting around 5v to the coil from the cdi but i dont know if thats enough. Resistance readings at the coil and the source and pulser coils are lower than haynes manual says they should be. I dont want to just throw a cdi at it and hope although Ive got one on the way just incase.
