Well after the breaking in period of my top end rebuild my little dtr isn't running like it was... I'll try to explain as best I can. Bike pulls away perfect up to and beyond powerband 1st,2nd however I notice in 3rd its not revving up to the line a little hesitant then 4th is the same I can't open full throttle as I get a "burrrrrrwaaaahhhhhhh" like its wanting air drop off the throttle a little and away it pulls again same in 5th I don't even get into 6th as I can't get her into the powerband enough in 5th so 6th just drops off the revs. I've cleaned out the petrol tap and fitted new washers etc, run through full tank of petrol with wurth 2 stroke additive, cleane…

Hi Guys , Just trying to get back into LCs and have been looking around and have been offered a bike but the engine and frame numbers dont match but I have read some where that that did happen when some bikes were built. Perhalps you could shed some light on it. The bike was registered in the UK in 87-88 It is a 1WT type ( I took photos of the frame number but they are not clear, I will take some more when I can ) But has the engine number 31K-054478 Is there any chance that this is a genuine bike and not had an engine change. Regards Martin

So after the incident where a driver reversed into me last year, I finally had my bike repaired. New fairing bracket and headlamp units etc. Now the guy at the workshop ended up tightening up every screw on the head unit when he assembled it for me. I only noticed something was wrong when I rode back home at night and I was lighting up every road sign on the A12 like a Boeing 747 coming in for a landing. I know where and how to adjust the headlight units, but I would like to know if anyone knows the specification of the actual beam projected? I know that if your headlamps are under 85cm you only need to drop the beam edge by 2-5cm at about 12 foot away. What…

hi everyone, im currently restoring a classic 1984 yamaha rs 125 and can not for the life of me find a site to buy a seat, wheels, front forks and fuel tank for this model, if i get these, my bike is complete, really irritated now, help would be very much appreciated

Hey, was just wanting to pick a few of your heads over this. Its getting colder here up in Glasgow, Scotland as some of you may be experiencing. I was looking for increased protection mainly for my hands and for my upper body. I know i can lean into my bike for some protection but i was wondering if there was something more if i didn't want to fully lean in. I dont like the bike's touring screen so was looking for something different. Also i was looking for some more protection for my hands, i've though about muffs but i've been told they are quite dangerous and can sometimes catch on the brake and clutch leavers. I was wondering what you winter hardened bikers do for…

so, the previous owner of my 05 DT125RE was a bit of a wally and has screwed the air mix screw too tight and ended up shearing off any sort of groove for my screwdriver. I have just come off the phone from my local yam dealer and we had a great laugh at a new carb being over 400 quid! So I am now searching the internet for a second hand one but I am unsure what year/models will fit my bike. also any suggestions for good sites to look at would be much appreciated or even if anyone on here is selling one or knows someone who is. all help much appreciated!!

Hi, Have just got a 175C (white tank/red stripe), need some help please, Does anyone know if an exhaust P/N 437-14753-02-00 will fit the above bike? Some people say yes others say it will only fit the 175A or B models - I thought basically all three were the same? Thanks in advance.

Hello Guys Well I done it, took my bike test back in October 2012 on WR125x and passed and now I have a XJ6N with a restrictor fitted. When the time comes I will want to remove restrictor, is this an easy job to do, or will I have to take bike to a Yamaha dealer? Any help would be much appreciated.

Just had a new tyre fitted, a vee rubber that cost about £45. Straight away I noticed the difference from my BT 45. I don't feel safe on it and my confidence has dropped massively going round corners. I didn't want a cheap shitty tyre fitting. It's going to have to come off.

my xvs 125 stopped running and the engine light flashes three times then a pause i'v looked this up on line and think it means (Coil 1 is activated 5 times per second). problem is i dont fully understand the fault and i'm unsure on how to fix . any advise welcombe

Hi. Having trouble finding a replacement throttle cable or cables for my xvs125 Dragstar, have tried e-bay etc but can only find one set of used and he's wanting £21 the cost of a new set Theres only the open cable snapped fhe shut offs ok and dont fancy fitting a set of used ones which could be on there way out.. Can any one advise me of an online dealership who stock them. Ive tried every where but tinternet just keeps giving me the run arround. leading me back to e-bay and for some reason a xvs starter cable and the second hand ones. Is there any other model of 125s that use the same cables or even cable (open not shutoff cable) that is compatable? If so…

Hi all I'm taking my CBT this Saturday and apparently I'm doing it on a 50cc geared or auto I don't know because I haven't a 125cc entitlement on my licence but the instructor is telling me that if I pass I then send my licence off to add a 125cc entitlement and then I can ride a 125cc with L plates no passengers and no motorway is this right because they knew my situation before I paid for the course please could all of you try and help me out on this one cheers Gerry

Hello, I was just wondering if I have to mix 2-stroke oil with my petrol? I haven't been mixing oil with my petrol but I do have oil in the engine itself. I'm taking it out this weekend so I don't want me wrecking the engine because I don't mix oil with petrol. Thanks! I'm talking about my DT-125

My 535 has started blowing the ignition fuse after running for a short time. Can anybody help

Spotted this on the net when i was looking at bobber on tube of the You and thought it maybe handy for the guys that are going for it?

I have pretty well bought this bike, getting delivered next weekend. Question I have is that all the pics I've seen of these bikes are red or white and have the wide grey swoosh on the tank and side covers. The bike I'm looking at is all black and just has yamaha in print on the tank. It doesnt look to have been painted or dropped and has 40000 miles on it. New here so haven't fiqured how to post a picture of it yet. Any input would be great. Thanks

i Finally managed to find a good circuit diagram to hook up my alarm and remote start, what you guys think?
