This is not a question, but a little hint to repair the side covers, I've just tried it and it works. I've just repaired some serious craks on my sidecover this way. I did put some Acetone in a glas jar, after that i did put some lego bricks there in, after they were meltet, I just put the sticky stuff in the craks and sured there was pressure on the cover, put a little extra on the backside to make it a bit more strong. I've got this advise from a friend and it works. I've just tried to use the same way to glue a broken tap on the same cover, tomorrow I will know if that worked, as good as the other repair did. And now I can say: It worked on that too. …

i was just wondering out there if any other starter would be compatible with the yamaha SR250 exciter? ... for swapping out ...

Hi there, new here but already starting off with a problem bikes a 94 fzr600r 4jh model, bikes plugs were done today, all plug caps put back on in the right order, Now when bikes switched on it starts easy, idles fine, will rev to redline in neutral, when riding along putting the bike under load 4K revs+ then the bike will drop a cylinder We've tried the old plugs and playing with the ht leads to no avail. At the same time it was ran slightly low on fuel, so that may also be possible to counter in, but im thinking its maybe more to do with coils/ht leads knackered? Cheers

Hi All, i'm just about to take the carb off my yb100 to check float settings and make sure its clean, i'm still having problems getting over 45 mph out of it, my question is how do i know if the floats are set right, i have a spare carb with a broken bowl but i cant see any marks to tell me where the fuel line is if there is one, a local bike mechanic told me to bend the tab till the petrlo was half way up the chevrons ? there are no marks at all in the carb bowl. cheers alec

Pardon my lack of technical language- I've recently acquired a 1980 XS400G and all I was planning on doing to get it running was clean the carbs and put new chain and sprockets on it... however, as I was cleaning the drive rotor I noticed that the pin that the clutch cable was connected to shows a little bit of wear. I tried rotating it around and it rotates freely, but it doesn't push in any further. It will slide out easily as well, but as I started to pull it out an inch I realized this was probably a pretty bad idea. My question here is, how is this pin supposed to control the clutch? Is it supposed to slide in? If I pull it out am I going to drop something into the…

after testing a yzf r125 at my local dealership i noticed that i was on the balls of my feet as opposed to flat footed,this was never a problem on bikes in the past but ive heard that the new yammy is a bit unforgiving to anyone under 5ft7 (im actually 5ft7) i understand everyones inside leg span is different and im about an inch i reckon from flat footed...so my question is this.is it possible to get a lowering kit for the yammy yzfr125 and if so has anyone had any experience with them,ive also seen online that you can adjust seats (cut foam away etc) and wonder if this is a good option,or an efficient one?? edit : ive seen a lowering kit for 99.99 from cmc so i…

Hey all. Just bought the bike. Frame has 40,000 miles on it but motor has 10k. I have put 1,000 miles on without incident but yesterday I rode it around, to work and such, then at night left to go somewhere and it wouldn't rev past 5K or so. the headlight is flickering and i had to turn the key a few times to even get the lights to come on. It runs like normal I'd say below 5k rpm though. Is this a stator or rectifier problem? I have a spare stator . . .

I'd like to know the intake and exhaust valve clearances if someone has them handy for a 78 xs 400. Also I can't tell what TDC is for both cylinders, because when I take off the points cap at the top of the left cylinder there is a mark on the thing that spins and the thing that doesnt next to it and when I line them up I dont know which cylinder is at TDC, and don't I need to put each one at TDC indivigually? Not sure how any help appriciated.

Hey, does anyone know what kind of replacement headlight will fit into the 83 xs400 secca (rk, or dohc).

Or maybe even a round xs400 maxim will fit? this is the dual one i was talking about this is the stock thanks.

i recently purchased a 1984 Venture Royale. The 1200 engine has been replaced by a 1300. I am trying to identify the year by the engine serial number 41V-oo2042. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

i have an 1980 DT125 that i have been restoring. took the carb out and cleaned it, new fuel cock, everything de-greased but keep coming up with the same problem. i use the choke out to start it and wait till it warms up and idles at about 2k and then when i put the choke in the bike dies. i can ride the bike with the choke out and it rides fine but once i put the choke in while riding and i slow down and downshift, the bike loses power and dies. anyone have any suggestions to try. thanks.
