alright! got my YZ400 cylinder... plopped right on without any worries. the cylinder head studs are a shorter length than the DTs, but i have yet to try and remove the studs from one of my DT cylinders to see if i can pull them off. if i can, i could swap them out. the reed cages are different, although the early YZs and DT bikes seem to use the same reeds according to boyesen. so there will still be a bit of research, and parts sourcing... but it's a good start it seems. the head plopped right on too, save for the stud length. just the debate is whether i use a DT series piston, or a YZ series piston? i am leaning towards the YZ series. although i don't have a year…

Last week a mate came round and helped me to put in new brakes in my thundercat and also showed me how to adjust my chain (no im not a lady only wear the skirt in the house ) only bit new to the motorbike thingy.Anyway we went off for a short ride from Lowestoft to Peterboro sat just gone and i was paranoid as the bike was not as smooth or handling as it used to even thought did i tighten up that rear axle nut you know like when you go off on holiday and think did i turn the cooker off etc.This was doing me all day even stopped on the way as i thought i could smell burning.Mate convinced me that it was all in my head anyway we got to TAZ motorcycles and spent £5 on a nec…

Well it's been 3 or 4 years since I've been skiing @ Mt. Hood Meadows resort......always liked this view from just the parking lot .... It definitely coulda been clearer for weather, but the temps & wind I sure couldn't complain about! For my fellow 2-wheel Compadre's.....This is only 1 reason I Love to Ski! ... As you can see, Mt. Jefferson & the 3 Sisters are fairly clear in view..... Those mountains are halfway down the state of Oregon. But on a really clear day, I've seen Mt. Shasta waaay off in the distance ......that's over an 8 hour drive clear down in California! 1 more from a different, more challenging run..... …

Hey guys, does anyone know if car insurance companies will except no claims earned on a motorcycle? I've heard that some place will allow it but can't remeber the source. It only seems fair as you are more likely to have an accident on a bike. Cheers Robbie

hi, everyone. I was hoping someone could help me solve a mysterious problem that has had mechanics all round the country scratching their heads! I have had a problem with my clutch! I have a 2002 yzf r1 with only 10,000 on the clock and i have a difficulties changing gear when she's cold. She wont let me put it in to first gear without stalling. Not any problems when going up the gears. I have had the plates out and had them looked at by 3 Yamaha approved mechanics(no names mentioned eh ) but they can't see anything physically wrong with it! . Please help

...the '06 R6 is so popular with most people ..... Seems like it'll be a worthy adversary for the other 600's this year... Judging by the way Jason DiSalvo is exiting this turn @ the Laguna test recently.

hey guys... new to the forum... seems like a pretty cool place. i got my first yamaha last week. it needs a lot of help, but should be a fun overall project.. it's a 1976 DT400. own a number of other machines, but this one is pretty greek to me (a bunch of little bits like compression releases that i have never messed with before, and apparently a 6 volt electrical system). i am hoping to build a street tracker out of the thing... just think that would be pretty fun way to go with it, and look pretty sharp in the process. figured i would find people who know more than i do on here, and attempt to pick some brains, and add what i can to the forum while i am at it. well,…

Hi folks A question for you that I've asked elsewhere, I want to fit R1 blue spot front brake calipers to my FJ1200, a fairly standard mod. The question is, are Fazer/R6 front calipers the same as R1, I know they look the same but do they give the same improvement in efficiency? Seen a set on ebay cheaper than R1. Thanks, Big Bob
