Ho! fellow Yam lovers, I have this weird problem that's proving difficult to diagnose. Sometimes and ONLY sometimes I hear this awful yowling noise from my XJ600. The reason I say it's difficult to diagnose is that it disappeares when you go below 50mph and as I'm sure you'll agree you can't really hear much but wind above 50mph (well, not MY wind anyways). However, I was travelling home late last night and I heard the noise and had a look down and noticed that the speedo light was glowing dull then normal; unusual as all the other clocks didn't vary. Whenever I dipped below 50, the clock light became normal and the sound vanished. Could this be a noisey speedo cable prob…

Hi All Just bought a 1986 DT125 as a project. It's been sitting in a barn for 15 years! The number plate is missing and there's no v5. Is there a way of finding this out from the chassis number? Shaun

Hi all ive havent been on for a while had no problems with my DT125RE just been getting great experience riding thinking of bigger things now can any body tell me what is the latest DSA motorcycle theory test cd available on the market to get going, many thanks

I was looking at pics of the bike and i couldn't figure out what this big red this is. It's big and red so it must be important. My guess is something to do with turing around cause of the circle, i dont think bikes have windscreen wipers, indicators are on the left, so's the horn. My only decent guess would be traction control, but i dont think it has that. There's even another one down below, small and black so not as important, but it's got the loop over thing again.

So me and a few of my mates are planning a weeks touring next year, ferry from Hull across to belguim and then through Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France then home. What kinda milage would people suggest as max per day? we were thinking of setting a limit of about 400-450 miles a day? Opinions? also any one done anything similar? Thanks, Matt

More years ago than I care to remember when my daughter was 16 I bought her a twist and go so she could get to collage, the price of the bike included a days training and the CBT test but they would only deliver it to the training centre, unfortuantly she failed the test so I had to ride it home. I will never forget riding that thing, just about got to 30 flat out, no chance of accelerating out of trouble, I tell a couple of times it really put the shits up me. anyway after spending hours in the local sainsbury's car park teaching her how to ride and of course riding it back to the training centre she passed her CBT and I vowed never to go near one again.

Hi everyone The newbie is here again. I have my first manual bike after having a scooter for 4 years, and I am trying to get used to checking the chain tension......and it isn't going very well!!!! I checked the tension and according to Haynes Manual it was too tight so I have adjusted it to what it says, however I don't think the wheels are aligned now. Is there an easy way of finding this out, I have tried the string way and this is so fiddly I'm not confident it has worked. I think it is out of alignment as when I'm riding along the front wheel feels light - and ive lost my confidence going round sharp corners because a couple times it felt…

Hello, I plan to get tyres for my YBR, probably going for Michelin Pilot Sporty. I considered fitting them myself and seen Youtube vidz etc. Also watched vidz on wheel balancing and here's the Q. Why not balance the wheel on it's own axle, in the forks and with the calipers removed? I'm just wondering how it differs from taking the wheel off to put on a contraption.

Am wondering whether wheels from a 2000 Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom are interchangeable with a 2005 model? Does anyone here know?
