    Hey, I've been riding about 4 months now and am loving it. Got my theory test booked for a couple of weeks time and hope to get my full license and upgrade to an R6 in September. However, i bought this bike 4 months ago, it,s an 2008 plate and really is stunning. The only problem is I'm sure at some point between my home and getting to work i get a really powerful clutch smell. I'm not 100% sure it's me but seem to get more and more paranoid. I've driven a car for years so I'm not really that inexperienced and know how to operate vehicles so I'm not sure whether I'm not shifting quick enough or whether there is a problem with the bike. Has anyone got any info they …

  7. Hey, I am trying to find out the name of a piece of plastic on my bike so that I can buy a replacement for it. Unfortunately I'm new to all this and so I haven't a clue! On the following image it is the bit of black plastic that the indicator is attached to, runs from under the center of the headlight to somewhere just behind the indicator. Left hand side I am after. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Dave

    Hi guys, 1st March got a brand new Yamaha YZF-R125, and love it, I wore the engine in properly, went over 6k revs sometimes by accident (more concerned with the road than my revs!) but I am sure it never went much over 6.5k for any longer than a second or two, I doubt it is THAT precise. Anyway, where I live the road camber is a bit of a bitch, and some mornings I dont give it enough juice, it stalls, fair enough, but when I push the starter again it just keeps going grgrgrgrgrgrgr and never turns on, and if it does it sounds slow and clunky, whereas if I switch it off, wait a few secs, and turn back on, its fine. Is this normal? Also, I know its only a 125, but at …

    Geday all, Wondering if anybody has heard of any information as to when and if the baby R1 will be available in Australia. Apparently it was displayed at the Sydney bike show. Was this to gauge public interest or a sign of its intended release to the Aussie market? HAVE A BLAST! Paul.

    Hi everyone, I've been hearing a few people have been experiencing slow page load speeds when the forums have been busy. We've just updated the YamahaClub Database Server so hopefully now this problem should be resolved at peak traffic times. I will be monitoring memory usage to see how we get on, so fingers crossed :-) Alex

Now a general clean up and service and we are good to go for £500. Even got spare plastics for it Yamhas are back in the majority of 3 to 2

    This has been posted on the Rd forum so i thought i would let all here know, as Ymabits has far to much stuf now to bring to the show and it wastes a week sorting stuff out each side of the show, and he gets a backlog of orders to sort when he gets back we will be offering free UK postage for a couple of days to customers using the website. Rather that be just specific to club members this will apply to anyone with a shipping address in the UK so spread the word Thursday 18th and Friday 19th of October
