Hi all, I am shortly replacing both sets of front brake pads on my 2003 Yamaha XJR1300, I'm not sure what make are currently fitted but I have noticed in the short time I have owned her they are noisy and although the bike stops well enough, I feel it could do alot better. I just wanted to throw out the question and pick your brains & draw on your experience because there are many known brands / manufacturers out there, some well known like Brembo, EBC, Gold Fren, Ferodo, Vesrah etc, and some not so well known. Once you have chosen a manufacturer, then you have to choose the compound, HH, Sintered, Carbon, Ceramic etc. What a mine field this is, so you see y…

I have a Dt Mx 125 2A8 engine that is connected to a buggy, but I'm not sure of the wiring and any help would be appreciated. I just need to know what connects to what. There are no lights ect, I just need to create the spark. I have looked at a wiring Diagram but not having much luck. Many Thanks ~ Will

Hi all, I have a 1990 Fj1200A The problem came around the other week. When riding along I got a sudden whiff of petrol (actually so much I thought I left the fuel cap off) Anyway it turned out to be pissing all its fuel out. No big deal I thought, maybe just stuck floats!! NO!! Two weeks later same scenario I had the fuel tank re sealed and cleaned along with the carbs and new filters and pipes put on. Once again a week later same fault!! I have now had all the rubbers changed and the fuel pump as well!! NOPE STILL DID NOT CURE IT Now Im thinking about converting to gravity feed to rule out the fuel pump (unless anybody has one I could try) Any tips on this …

Hi all, I have recently purchased a small speaker and tuner set to fit to my YBR 125 as I dont want to risk using earphones, I haven't recieved them yet but am already wondering how I would connect the set up to my electrics of my bike. The set apparently comes with all of the fuse fittings etc... heres a link - Speaker set Could anyone help me out? im pretty neat with the rest of the fitting, its just the task of safely hooking it to the battery/alternator/whatever Thanks

Has anyone else had this issue in north america i'm pretty disappointed with yamaha's customer service. My 2003 R6 had been having throttle problems it had become unstable and would cut on me. I had it in to two different shops to have it checked out and the finally figured out it was the tps sensore. Now it's on back order so what i'm asking is does anyone know of this being a problem that yamaha is ignoring and should be recalling?

the bearring around the sprocket shaft has collapsed in my fzr 600 (1990 donkey) I have a spare 1993 engine that im hoping i can salvage from. Do i have to split the gearbag to do this job? Aint looked at it yet and hoping for a quick yea or nea. PLUS!!! does anyone know of a clutch spring upgrade on a FZR1000 (1990) that i can do on my streetfighter. Harder springs from different yoke or someehing like that? Cheers Kyle

I've been renovating my XJ600 and at the point where it's all connected and ready to go. I tried starting it but there's no fuel getting through to the carbs. I thought it was a vacuum fuel pump problem but I've managed to replace this with an electric pump. Now I'm thinking it's the fuel tap but not sure why it's stopped working. There doesn't appear to be much fuel getting to the fuel filter. The vacuum pipe is connected correctly. Anymore ideas please?

I am a new rider this year and just purchased a VStar 650 classic. It runs great but when I down shif every so often it back fires. The dealer said this is normal. Any thoughts???

Good Morning, I have a 2007 Yamaha Royal Star Venture and a 2007 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado Classic. Has anyone changed the fuel filters on either or both of these bikes. Just looking for some experienced instruction before I go tearing into it myself. Thanks, Rusty

I have a Xj400 (import) and the tank has a rust hole, is there anyway of fixing it? Also can anyone tell me if the tank is the same as an equivelant XJ 600? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nimbat

Hi everyone, I am a brand new member to this forum and I have a question about a 1982 Seca 400. I have had this bike sitting in my garage for almost 10 years and I finally decided to get it going again this year. I sent the tank to a repair shop that specializes in repairing and coating the inside and outside of gas tanks with a poly-uria coating. I changed all of the wheel bearings, rebuilt the front brake master cylinder and caliper, put new pads on the front, new drums on the back, had 2 new tires installed and balanced, bought a new battery, changed the oil, filter, spark plugs and repainted several parts of the bike. The bike was running fine when I put it a…

Hello all, First of all thank you for tacking a min. to look at this and pos. help. I have a DT125 and can not find the right piston ANYWHERE!!!! wiseco says they dont make ANY piston with the demensions i need. every dt125 piston i find is to short by about 4-5mm. the bike will run but does not have enough compression to make any real power. if i cant find the piston i will be forced to shave the cylinder down, wich i dont want to do. the bike is from over seas but wiseco check there over seas department and still found nothing. I dont know what to do. can anybody through me some help here? thanks.

Can anyone help, Please ? On the YBR125 exhaust, there is a small metal pipe/tube welded on about half way, which connects to a rubber tube leading up to the engine. What is that for ?? What does it do ?? Thanks

Hi all this is my first post, and i sure hope someone on here can help me out. the problem is the bike will start fine and come off choke ok. But will only tick over as soon as i try to rev it it cuts out. the bike as not been used for a while and was fine before. Just to give you all more details. ive stripped and cleaned the carb and used fresh petrol. i have a spark as it starts but it dont look to strong on a par with my nsr125.

hi, i have just been given a yamaha rsx100 1989-90 2-stroke, i have put petrol in it, it has oil in it and i have a spark from plug when kick starting but it wont start, anyone have a qlue what could be wrong? and another thing, would the battery being goosed stop it from starting even when its a kick start? any help would be great.

OK so my SR has started to play up on me I can sit in neutral and rev the nuts off the thing no problem whatsoever... however.. riding it is a different story, the bike is bunny hopping once i reach a certain revs in each gear. Fuel is reaching the carb Have drained some fuel to check for "Crap", seems all clear New spark plug Cleaned carb , no blocked jets etc , floats seem to be working well (needle isnt stuck etc) Cleaned air filter I'm stuck anyone got any suggestions?

hello I have since one weak a yamaha ybr125, but the headlight is rubbish. Is it possible to change te complete headlight for a H4 45w halogen headlight I have one ybr with a relais that put the headlight on when i start the engine

Hi Yamaha gurus, I've just taken my new Midnight Star XVS950A for its first ride (bought it three days ago and am totally in love with it already)... and while cleaning it afterwards, I see a grey rubber tube dangling out in front of the motor. It runs upwards on the front frame, into some small valve or filter, and then disappears somewhere in the cavity under the fuel tank. I don't remember seeing that tube when I bought the bike, nor can I find anything about it in the manuals, but I also can't find any pipe or nozzle where it might have slipped off. It smells faintly of fuel, so I think it might be some kind of fuel tank overfill pipe, but even then would I not w…
