hello Hping somebody can advise me, i have purchased a 2006 yamaha xt 125r it was being used offroad, and stopped working, the wiring has been hacked apart, lights removed relays and diodes stripped, and goodness knows what else i did buy a haynes manual sort of helped me a little, i also purchased a new battery, starter relay, ht coil, cdi, stator and generator, however it still wont start, somebody did mention that the xt uses power from the battery to start, however i can get it to turn over, would i be correct in saying that i have to have the cluth swith and stand switch on the bike before it will turn over? i have also purchased diodes for the electrical system…

Last month it lost cylinders 1 and 4 having investigated the ignition system the fault was traced to the ignitor unit,could not get one from any dismantlers and yamaha wanted £500 for a replacement.So decided toopen cdi unit found two transistors in aluminium heat sinks, using a basic multimeter found one was showing no readings.Using the numbers on the transistors I found an equi…

Hi folks, First post here, so please bear with me. I'm working on a "modern Triton" build, putting a modern (and eventually highly tuned) Hinckley Bonneville lump in a replica Manx Norton frame. I'm hoping to achieve a truely retro looking bike without the "external lubrication system" of old Triumphs, Duc 900SS level power, modern suspension and, given my eyesight, decent brakes. So, to get decent front suspension and brakes, I've bought more or less a complete R6 front end, with the "right way up" forks, yokes, calipers, handlebars, switchgear, etc. etc. However, I want to use spoked wheels on the bike for the retro look, so I have bought TRX850 discs (did …

Hi all, just wondering if any body can divvy up a little info, i have a 650 drag and sadly the chrome is blistering and peeling off of the engine casings, with being made of what they are my local chromers wont rechrome them as its too costly and they just dont do enough of the stuff to make it worth their expence, so i thought about useing chrome paint .... ok so whoever has the biggest foot can be the 1 to use it, just so long as i get some opinions too, has any one any ideas or opinions about this stuff as i really do not want to go the black paint stealth idea, thank you all in advance dave

Towards the end of last year I noticed that my sons PW was gettin harder to start, plus I thought there was a slight knock/rattle from the engine though it seemed to run ok. Have read that these could be symptoms of worn rings. Is it worth pullin it apart now before the better weather starts to replace parts? Or any easy tests to check ? Thanks folks

Hi Everyone, I need to know if anyone knows if a petrol tank from a 2001 majesty will fit a 1998 majesty? I think it looks the same but as we all know looks dont mean everything, Cheers in a advance Puddsy

Hi all, Im currently rebuilding my DT50MX engine (1993). Im replacing all bearings and seals. Im just wondering how to replace the conrod. Ive been told that the crank will split in half to remove the old conrod along with the big end bearing. Is this right? And will it need to be specially balanced or something? I feel fully confident in doing the top end and my boss has rebuilt 100s of engines (pro engine builder) so i think we can do it, just wondering the best way to do it. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks Ryan. Also, how much am i looking to spend on parts??

I have a 1996 xj 600n ( single front disc ).It has done 22000m, and serviced every 4000m. Recently it has started to weep oil from the left-hand side oil cooler pipe, at the union where it goes into the oil cooler. I have replaced both crush washers ( twice ) on that side, but it is still weeping out, from under the bottom crush washer.I was thinking about trying to source a replacement oil cooler and pipes from a breakers.The price of new bits is apparently v.expensive. Is it possible to remove the cooler and run without it. The previous model year of this bike was identical, but managed without an oil cooler. If this is possible, has anybody any suggestions how I would …

Hi guys and girls i have a yamaha ybr125 and lost the keys for it so i replaced the lockset and now i cant get a spark and the engine management light is flashing could this be easily sorted? any ideas? thanks 8 ball

Hi all My son has got a little Neos yn50 and all was running fine until it stalled for no reason, he said it was hard to start again and then it had no power. when I had a look at it it would rev but then cut out, riding it it wouldn't go over 15 mph. I have checked fuel is getting to the carb and have stipped the carb right down and cleaned all the jets, put a new plug in, I have done a omhs test on the coil and it seems fine, checked ht lead and cap and am now at a loss, so have any of you guys any ideas what to look at next ? Many Thanks in advance Dave

Hi all, just bought a 1996 xj600 diversion and though can manage it ok would prefer if it was slightly lower. Is it possible to lower this model and if so, how easy is it to modify? Cheers Tony

Can any one tell me how to find and adjust the carb as I think she is running to rich . I had to replace the carb and now I have a nice loud popping sound when she starts up and runs and then when she idles she does the same even though its not to loud its should not be. Because its a trike the Yamaha dealer wont touch it so I am on my own (they wont touch trikes even though its not been modified much and I only want the engine looked at )I have a xv750 virago . thanks

Hello Everone I recently bought a Mint condition very low mileage (3400) 1994 V-Max 1200 without the V Boost for my rather diminutive frame. I love it to bits but I struggle greatly with the Brake and Clutch levers having small hands. The length of stroke required with the standard Yamaha Master Cylinders negates any after market adjustable levers, not that I can find any for this model anyway! Can anyone recommend replacement master cylinders for the Brake & Clutch which I could fit say a set of Pazzo Stubbies to and they still be fit for use? I look forward to hearing from someone in the know very soon. Regards Lady K
