HI, my brother's got a Yamaha YBR year 2008 and it takes a good 5 minutes to warm up every time, even if it's been running and then we stop for 10 minutes. I've told him it might be the battery. If you've got one of these bikes (or have any ideas) how does yours start up? I mean my 20 year old SR 125 starts up first time, every time on the button, you would have thought a 2008 YBR would do the same this is why I think it is the battery myself. Thanks.

Just noticed yesterday i had my bike up on the stand and running in netural and the rear wheel was turning slowly is dis normal ??

Speedo cable broke on the NTV last weekend, was the 17 year old original so no real heartache but .... To replace it I had to remove the wee Puig flyscreen covering the clocks, undid the bolts OK but when lifting it off, as the tension was released from the clamps the plastic cracked around the mounting points (it's been friggin' cold here since forever so everything's brittle). Shed time - clean up the cracks with the Dremel and re-drill new mounting points, the screen now sits 1/2" lower, but that's fine. Put it all back together to find the speedo backlight doesn't - arse! Take it apart - gently - find the loose connection and sort it, put it all back togethe…

Hi All, Would not normally ask this but just wondering if anyone might know what a good price for a Yamaha RD350B might be? I only ask as I am selling one for my neighbour who has had it in his garage for the last 20 odd years, so as you can imagine it is more than a little dusty rusty and generally in poor condition, all the parts are there and it has a V5 from 1975 so a genuine candidate for a resto, but I have put it on to ebay and am snowed under with OFFERS! even tho I said no offers in the advert, bloody pointless putting it in there really! Still just curious what it might be worth as I am not now a stroker fiddler, used to be but like something slightly less manic…

HI all ,just looking for some advice today ,, Recently ,well the last couple of days i have noticed a grinding sort of sound from the rear of the bike Sounds like the wheel area to me [XJ 600 S DIV ] . Happens maybe every couple of minutes for a second or two , does not do it when you turn the rear wheel by hand .I have also noticed tiny tiny shards of metal by the wheel if i run it on a stand im thinking to myself wheel bearing worn? if so how hard are they to replace. I use the bike everyday for work so can't afford to be off the road for long. All help would be greatly appreciated ,, Doc

Hi all,can anybody tell me if you are allowed to overhang the bay at the front and or the back as I think you can only park adjacent (90 degrees) to the kirb and not at an angle, there are bays near my work where only a Vespa can fit and my DT looks longer please let us know

Dumb question, can't find an answer on google and waiting for Haynes manual to arrive - how much play should there be in the chain? Mine seems quite loose, almost touching in places. Also, I've been advised to keep checking some gap, but was only a passing comment and was called away so couldn't clarify - any ideas? Apparently common thing on these older SR's?
