The Bar

Hi, Recently purchased an unfinished project off Ebay and the fella at the time said he didn't have the V5 and that the original owner "had the bike from new" and "used it on a farm". He's been on Ebay a while and his feedback was legit and on meeting him he's a bike restorer and he said that he had too much on and didn't have time to get around to finishing the rest, he bought it as unfinished too. I didn't get a whiff of anything dodgy. Anyway i used an online service where you pay a fiver and they search your VIN and if they don't find anything you get your fiver back or they send you the registration number if they do. Anyway, I got my fiver back…

Has anyone any knowledge of these aftermarket, Chinese bore Kits for the DT being sold on ebay? They're just under £100 and was considering getting one to tide me over until I can get a proper one re-bored and painted.

Hello folks, first time poster . Need a bit of help. Just before lockdown, bought a YBR125 2009 for commuting to work. But been working from home and the thing has just sat there since March. Tried to start it, battery dead unsurprisingly. Bought new battery, tried it today. Turning over fine, but not firing at all, not even a gasp. Spark plug is a bit black, has a spark, difficult to tell if it's a good spark tho (I'm not very good at that). I'll get a new plug for it anyway, change the air filter. Previous owner was young lad, seemed pretty responsible but never can tell. It was running fine when I bought it though, I took it for a spin round the block w…

Out on the bike yesterday with some mates. Pushing quite hard in a few spots when the handling really started to go to shit. Barely got home. Front wheel bearing had shit it's self. Thank f it didn't happen in Derby although I think it was affecting the bike looking back and I just thought it was shitty vmax manners.

ybr 125 custom running nicely came back off a run out, parked up for 10 minutes then tried to start it, engine turned over but failed to start removed the spark plug no spark? Battery seems ok but will charge it. Any ideas?? Dek

Hi all I have aYDS5 engine and when I took the clutch cover off oil was coming out of a screw hole is this normal or something serious?

I’ve got a 1986 Dt125lc ypvs. Blown the motor a month or so ago and found out the gearbox is smashed to bits. I’ve found someone selling a 1987 tzr125 for sale. Wondering if anyone know if the engine mounts are the same and how hard it would be to wire everything up. (His energy comes with both CDI’s and a little bit of the loom)

Just a quick question on the autolube adjustments. I've seen some people say that Yamaha gives a spec as to how much oil should come out with 200 strokes. I can't find the actual spec for my model. Both Haynes and Cylmer manuals dont give that info. I found one forum saing about 5cc/ml per 200 strokes open throttle for a later mx model. Anyone know the specs for my model? Thanks!

Would anybody out there have a wiring diagram for a YDS5 or YDS6 or know were I can get one . Thanks

hi everyone I'm just looking for help with a problem i have every time i take the bike out for a ride it just suddenly slows down then stops and i have to wait abit before i can start the bike again i have but new spark plugs in and done a few others things any help would be great thank you

Just fitted some RD carbs onto a YDS5 engine which I had to modify the carbs so they would fit on the stubs but I seem to be having issues of flooding the engine and petrol coming out the exhaust. I have checked the floats and they worked fine and I have put the top notch on the needle. That made no difference could it be the jet that need changing or could it be the throttle slides are to high but there in no adjustment left on the throttle cable.

Hi250 Does anyone know if a centre stand for ybr125 fits a ybr250. Dek

I have a 2000 yamaha roadstar xvt 1600 Silverado edition. I was wiring up a new backlight and I had the power on without the bike running and totally forgot about all my other lights being on. The battery went dead I charged it and after it charged I started the bike but I noticed none of my lights were on and whenever I went to throttle it it wanted to stall and it made a funny sound like muffled air when that happened. So I went and got a new battery because I just bought this bike in march and dint know how old it was. And that wasn't the problem. I tested the battery it reads 13v and when I start it it goes to 15.25. On and my signals still work my radio does not and …

Hello 👋 I've just got myself a Yamaha XT 125 R (2007) but unfortunately I didn't get an owners manual for it. I would love to own one if anyone had a spare I could buy but what I wanted to know right know is exactly how the speedometer / clocks operate. If anyone has one and could photo a few pages and send them to me that would be a huge help. Thanks guys

Hi Please could someone tell me what is the sequence for the gears on a YDS5. Is 1 down and 4 up or is all down . Thanks

I have a wire hanging from the engine (YDS5) which I believe is for the neutral light (Light blue) and have no idea where it should go as I have looked over and under the engine, here are some photos. Also can anybody help me out on a tachometer cable as one did not come with the bike like any measurements: Outer cable tip to tip length and outer cable fittings required – usually female threaded spinning fittings on the outers. Inner cable tip to tip length, and the square section size at both ends of the inner (May be same both ends) Thanks

I’ve just acquired an XS250 and both exhaust’s are rotten but I’m having trouble finding replacements has anyone got any ideas where I can get a pair of exhaust’s or if exhaust’s from another bike that would fit well thanks

Hi All I have a 1969 Yamaha YDS6 and I`m having trouble finding the carbs so my question is could I use RD250 carbs ?

The tyres on my max are dead, im thinking Michelin pilot road 5 is the one to go with but it looks a bit naff, works well though. The Pirelli angel st looks the nuts, but have no idea if its any good mileage wise as max's destroy tyres at the best of times. The (dying) pr3's i have on spin at the first opportunity. Wondering what you guys with the big bikes prefer, Jimmy, slice, Dutch etc as they will be close tyre abuse wise. Cheers
