    Hi, I am a new member and owner of a Yamaha Radian. I am having problems getting the bike to start by using the start switch. I have checked the clutch switch and side stand switch and both seem to be working. I have put a new battery on the bike and can get it started by bridging the positive on the battery and the starter. Any ideas as to why it will not start? I also noticed that the previous owner removed the fuse for the power wires and just wound them together. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks James

Ideally we'd like to feature a Yamaha RD 350 motorbike (c1973) The Museum would be responsible for organising and covering costs of shipping and insurance. Are you a collector or owner that might be interested in offering a loan from April - June 2008? Thank you!

    Hello today i picked up a rare 1983 yamaha rx50 in red. Anyone got any info on these bikes as there is not much info about them on the web. as far as i know they made less than 2000 of them and you couldnt actually buy them they were given away by way of a raffle. One was given to each dealer by yamaha as a way of creating showroom traffic as far as i know it was only in america cheers.
