Hi everyone. just been doing a bit of research. im currently 16 and paid £180 for Third party fire and theft insurance on my 1989 Yamaha DT50MX with Swinton bikes it will cost me £117 for TP F&T insurance on my Yamaha DT50 next year, when im 17 and have taken a full bike test but only £153 TP F&T on a honda CB250. as opposed to about £1,500 for insuring a car. So, having done my research i have concluded that it will be cheaper and easier to take my full bike test and get a honda CB250 instead of getting a car which will cost more to run and more for insurance, lessons e.t.c. BUT, is there a yamaha equivelant to the honda CB250 that would cost ab…

Geez, that didn't last long Following Camels recent announcement, Yamaha Factory Racing would like to express its thanks to Camel and Japan Tobacco International for their partnership and support over the 2006 MotoGP season. Our thanks go out to all those involved in the project; they have formed an important part of our team over the past year. It has been a great honour for Yamaha to work with such an experienced sponsor and Camels enthusiasm throughout the season has been greatly appreciated by the entire Yamaha Factory Racing Team and the Yamaha Motor Group. It'll be interesting to see who ends up being their main sponsor.

Holy CRUD ! Bought the new Fazer in 2006. I've had nothing but sh!t with this bike ! What a waste of my hard earned cash. This time it's been in the shop for 8 weeks..... problem after problem.... I'm ready to douse it in fuel and set it alight ! Faulty flywheel been blowing electronic components 1 after another. The agents say it's not their problem....... Yamaha you SUK !

Im really annoyed about this and want to make everyone buying this bike aware of my situation. First of all I love this great 600cc Yam its great for commuting to work in the summer months, which is the main reason I bought it. I bought the bike in June 2008, and one of the selling features were the bike was covered by a 2year warranty, and required servicing every 6000miles or Annual. What i didnt know and had no reason to suspect an issue with was the rip off servicing schedule requirments of this bike. Apparently if you ride the bike like me "low mieage you are penalised". Just had the bike 12 months so booked it in to have its Annual service (covered 3361mile…

Hello I have yamaha gladiator 125 since 2008.I have run it 62000km.No engine service till today. But i have facing a strange problem.when i start bike it starts smoothly. After running 5-10 km means when its engine warms up then its sound of engine changes. It sounds as its engine is working more. This problem occurs when i press clutch. In neutral or in gear same situation i face. No white smoke.. No black smoke.. I visited yamaha there i was told that may its carburettor is malfunctioning.. Plz help me if anybody can.. Thanks

hi im new to the forum and i have recently bought a blue,black and white yamaha jacket. It has yamaha wrote on both sleeves and on the back there is a yamaha badge with yamaha under and on the front top,left there is a small yamaha badge with yamaha on it. It also has Billy Mckenzie's signature on the back. It is not on ebay yet because i thought yamaha jacket should go to a yamaha owner. so if there is any offers on the jacket you can contact me on [email protected] or pm me. I still might not sell it but if the price is right i will crispy

I think this is in the right section, but being new to yamaha bikes i am unsure of the bike in the yamaha owners club logo/banner on the website

Afternoon all. Is there anyone out there that can possibly give me some advise on how to wheelie my Yamaha YZF-R 125. I have been told it's not that easy due to the Power : Weight Ratio. If anyone could give me some advise from personal experiance that would be great. Thankyou. Stunting isn't a choice, It's a way of life.

What has happened to the reassuring nod bikers used to share when passing one another on the open road? Is it just me or has it all but died out?

Not sure if many of you are aware of this, and to be honest as long as you aren't doing anything wrong it shouldn't be a problem, because as we all know our security services are 100% pure of any hint of mis-using this information, I mean, it's not as if we'd ever go to war over something they mis-represented is it ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7985339.stm Anyway, now Big Brother can see where you've been, who you are talking to and what you are reading.

Couple of weeks ago I found a beautiful looking pair of 1978 forks for my DT175 on Ebay that were in the US. If they were as good as the pictures I'd scored myself a decent pair that only needed new seal, oil and a little bit of a polish and they'd have been like new. So in anticipation of their arrival I bought some news seals and some oil for them. I was tracking them daily and after a slight delay because of bad weather everything was going swimmingly, until yesterday evening when I noticed on the tracker "Undeliverable" Never seen it before so I messaged the seller and asked if it would be an issue. Turns out I'm not getting them and according to …
