Does anyone know the Yamaha part number for the valve shim removing tool, it is for the air cooled model 2003 year, thanks in advance.

If you are caught by the law on private land without permission , or on public land ,without permission Would you be commiting a criminal offence or a motoring offence. And if you hold a full driving licence would you receive penalty points on it for comiting an off road offence

Just wanted to thank all of you that replied to my post regarding the concerns over the Yamaha YBR125 I had just bought. The low mileage on the bike seems to be genuine after researching it a bit more. I'm very happy with the bike and intend holding onto it for a while so will be about the site and no doubt will be asking more questions in the future. Hoping to post a few photos of the bike as soon as I get a chance. Cheers Tony

Hello guys, im new to this form so if you havent seen my post in the newbie section i would just like to say hi I have a bit of a question really: just got a yamaha xvs 125 and it only goes 60mph. I have looked on the internet and there's people saying they can go about 65-70 how can i get this? is there a way to accelerate and go through the gears that will make it go faster? could it be the fule? if i use the expensive stuff will it go faster? could it be my spedo? you get spedo apps that will tell you the speed should i try this? If any one has any ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks guys ride safe.

I've seen this thread a few times around the internet, but here's a question for you, is it possible to fit the front footpeg bar (with the side stand) on a 2006 model? I know the bar on the 2006 doesn't have the fitting for a side stand and the only clamp on ones I can find are for dirt bikes with square swing arms, here is the bar from a 2007> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-YBR-125-SIDE-STAND-FOOT-RESTS-FRONT-/281175753213?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item41776181fd Thank you in advance for any replies

I've never heard of it but there is one on Fleabay for sale - if you like that kind of thing. Be warned, it is ugly (well I think it is). LINKY

Hi just joined the club, so bear with me. How do I change front brake pads on my 2007 Jog R I have a grinding noise from front and feels like the brakes are dragging, so Im assuming its pads

I posted this in the new introduction section as well. Sorry for the redudancy. Hi, New to this forum but not to bikes. I'm thinking about getting an older 2 stroke and have settled on either a '73 RT1 360 enduro or a '79 DT 250F. As many of you know these are enduro street/trail type bikes. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other? If you do I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Dave

Hi, Does anyone know what other 'DT' fuel tanks are the same as the one for a DT175c 1976/77? Thanks

I have just imported a dt175 1974 tank from America, and it does not fit, the tank measures 17 3/4 from front monting lug to the centre of rear mounting hole, however the frame measures 16.5 ?? Really frustrated, both my frame and engine numbers match and start at 443 019297, ive heard there was a change that year but as rare as these parts are, I cant really afford to keep spending money on what sellers claim to be the right part, is there a match and what tank do I have, please help. ??

Motorcyclist hit by a bird (feathered kind) local to where I live, maybe a good reason to have a screen. Mind you I wonder how fast he was going... http://www.harboroughmail.co.uk/news/mail-news/motorcyclist-injured-after-bird-strike-1-5518834

Hello all, Just bought myself a 2010 YBR125 custom and as it came with no service history and only 700miles on bike I am a bit concerned at the very low mileage considering it is over 3years old and has had 3 owners... The guy I bought it off seemed very genuine so am more concerned about the 2 previous owners and lack of any real mileage. The bike is in good condition and seems to be going well but I would really like to find out if there is any way I can check the mileage is genuine. I've never had one of these bikes before and as I'm only getting 55 miles per hour is this the norm and if not is there anything I can check to remedy it? The guy I bought it from just …

Hpi baja's if you don't know are little petrol engine buggys, I have a 32cc one and I want to know What HPI means. Anyone know?

Being on a bike and enjoying twists and turns helps me forget: A roof when it's wet Heating when it's cold Air con when it's hot Bumpers 4 wheels when it's raining Vulnerability pretty much all the time What I really miss is not having a little music. I don't believe the use of earphones is safe as it completely removes a vital sense that keeps you safe. So I've been looking on eBay at small fm/mp3 type radios with a couple of small speakers. Nothing too loud just something to listen to at a sensible volume while I'm enjoying a ride. (Bearing in mind 50-60mph is my limit). Anybody's thoughts?

Hi, I just bought some Chinese heated grips and I need some help to fit them. First, how could I remove the old grips? Second, where it would be ideal to connect the power wire? Cheers,

as above how much roughly does the complete engine weigh

Thinking of having cloth patches made of the YOC. The patch would be something like my current avatar @ 75mm diameter. Min order is 50 and would only be solid colours as the way the embroidery goes. if enough interested i would go ahead. for usa I would prefer a single contact to send a package over (would be cheaper anyways) payment through paypal methinks. cost £3 plus post and packing drewps
