    Hey ladies and gents, I used to ride dirt bikes when I was younger, but just recently got my first street bike: a 1983 Yamaha Maxim 400. I found it on craigslist and got it for $950!! It's super clean and runs perfectly. I super excited about finally having a bike and cant wait to get off work everyday just to cruise. Anyway, I saw this forum and thought I might as well join and introduce myself. My name is Brian, but everyone calls me Jonesey(jones-E). I look forward to shooting the sh*t with everyone, and I hope you'll introduce yourself if you are a regular, even if your not... Have a great day and ride safe.

    Just got a Vino! Can't believe how fun it is in city traffic. No shifting out of a stop sign on a hill, etc. Thought maybe I was too heavy (over 250 lb) but the thing scoots and handles like a dream. So much better than trying to use my Harley Heritage Softail in town or even the VStar 650. I originally got the 650 for city driving, but the Vino is much more fun. Also, talk about being visible; I get more looks on the Vino than I ever got on the 650. Everyone's trying to figure out what it is. Have to admit, it isn't for everyone. It's kind of like wearing a pink dress shirt; you have to be man enough to get away with it. Remember: the bigger the bike thi…

  15. Hi everyone! I am new on this forum, so will introduce myself: My name is Ventzi. Last year I bought 2 R6's (from a mate that did some racing) - A road bike, and a complete bike that needed alot of putting together (He had been taking bits from it as spares for his track bike) Anyway - Both are the early carb models - the road bike being the updated model with twin rear lights, and project bike being a 1999 early model. I loved the bike, and did alot of miles in a few miles - and quite comfortably did a bit of touring here and there - once even with the girlfriend and a set of soft panniers on the back! Anyway - I sold that bike, and now need another one to do…

(iv'e gone through 3 now) the plugs are all carbon fouled. when it runs it runs awsome, but you'l go to start it up the next day, and it wont even fire. i have already leaned up the neetle jet a notch and the pilot jet a bit too, and i'm waiting to see what happens. is this all i need to do, or do i need to make furthur adjustments? Thanks, Michael
