Yamabyss

Any advise out their for my new ride. 1990 Yamaha FJ1200. Picking it up next week.

Every day since MAY, I have seen the same news about how Osborne hurt his wrist and may be blah blah blah.... is there no other news out there that has to do with yamahas? or is there no one in charge of new write ups? perhaps they are just not on it? really. i mean. dude. shoot, i would love to see new features there. maybe members rides pictures. or other news stories. just something ELSE. someone has to know. im more curious than anything.

1) So I saw a picture of the new '09 yzf-r125. The bike looks like its going 100mph when its not moving. I was very surprised to see that they made 125cc sport bikes. I'm used to seeing 125cc mopeds in India. Anyway it got me interested in comparing its specs with my '80 xs400. I'm very new to bikes, I got mine last month, but when I think of bike power I think of cc's. So my bike more than doubles the yzf-r in cc's, yet the top speed for both is very close. The xs400 @ 87mph, and the yzf-r125 @ 82mph (from a video I saw on youtube). I realize the xs is about 100lbs heavier, but what else makes a 125cc bike so incredibly fast? What would the diffrence in acceleration be? …

ok, so i was oiling and tightening my chain today and saw that i have 2 missing teeth on my rear 45 tooth sprocket. the missing teeth are 10 apart. my little dt is my only transportation and i would like to know if its safe to keep going to work until one gets shipped in 3-5 days. i plan on replacing the chain while im at it.

basically, ive got a dt125r waiting for my 17th birthday, and i love supermotos, i just wanna know what wheels to get, and whether its even worth doing? thanks guys

Hi i am looking for any help in trying to identify my Dt 125 i have an engine number and a frame number but i dont know how to find out what model it is??

I seem to have a very strange Vin number on this bike which is not helping in identifing it i have been looking into the whole vin number thing and it says they should be 17 digits long but the one i have is only 11 digits and there is not any missing thats all there is and no signs of anything being rubbed off?!?!?!?!

f*ck me peeps, i hear all these horror stories about people having accidents on bikes most days, but i never fully understood the fear of it until last night.80 on the way back from halton, about 8pm as i came into newbury up a single road, lit by streetlights at 30mph (just before a speed camera), there was an oncoming car stationary, indicating to turn right across my lane into a driveway, now, being a cocky young shite i assumed he/she had seen me and carried on, as i got nearer the stupid tw*t started to turn, i shat myself, put the anchors on, locked the back wheel and braced for impact, thankfully i missed the back of the car by about 3 inches but f*ck me if it…

I wanted to comment on a thread that's locked-out, and couldn't. So, I'm starting a new thread to repond. I call the British "Friends and Allies", because whenever a Yank is in a skirmish, they know that they can trust a Brit to cover their back.

I finally gave in, and yesterday I purchased the latest Ron Howard release of Dan Browns Angels and Demons on DVD. Now, I like the Dan Brown books, I like how they blur the line between fact and fiction, I like how, to the uneducated, they can appear as truth and I like how he strings the story together. It's just a bit of escapism that centres around some stuff that I find quite interesting. So, why did Ron Howard find it neccassary to take huge chunks of pertinent subtext from the film ? and why change perfectly well written endings for key characters? And why, no really WHY, was the Hassasin a White Amreican? what the hell was wrong with the large dark sk…

Hi, folks. I'm 58 years old and have ridden since I was 15. Many times, I've seen people take a perfectly-good motorcycle (or car) and try to make it do more, costing them a lot of money in the process. Here's my 2 cents worth: 1. Roadliner performance: If it's not fast or quick enough for you, get a V-Max! 2. Roadliner stock exhaust: If it's not LOUD enough for you, have your hearing checked! Ahhh, I feel a little better, now. Thanks for letting me vent.
