Hi All Regarding the very 'popular' oil drip problem from the air box drain on XJ600 S/N, I noticed somone posted a response regarding an aftermarket kit to replace the large bore crankcase breather hose and doing away with the smaller cam-cover breather. Has anyone tried disconnecting the crankcase breather from the airbox altogether and attaching an after market filter?? Cheers in advance

hi guys. sorry to say i had to sell my r6 for spares after the engine blew up! so for a short while i will be owning a divvy. i bought it for less than i usually pay for my helmets!! but its in need of tlc. one major issue is the alternator cover has been replaced by a none yamaha cover and now its falling off. i cant seem to find an alternator cover anywhere as most people who are stripping bikes dont want to take it from the engine. does anyone know a specialist or a few other models that would fit exactly? thanks for your time people.

After picking my project bike on Saturday, 2 trips to Halfords and with a lot of help form some of you forum guys I was ready to kick the bike over. I bled the oil pump as suggested. At this time I noticed that the pipe from the pump to the carb was split so I cut the end off and refitted this. There still seems to be a pin hole in this so added to my very long list of things to do. I am not sure if I need to take the crankcase off or if the metal junction attached to the crankcase is just a pull off and I can refeed a new pipe from the top. Anyone know please? I fitted the fuel cable and was ready for liftoff. A splash of fuel in the tank and as I was putting …

OK I know I am asking a strange question - I have a $50 1982 maxim 650 that has not run in about 10 years, can be made to run again and a decent bike to ride, but I want to make a wild chopper custom - whats the difference in the frames? converting down to a 2 cylinder would work or not? going to hardtail the back of course, and would like a chain cause of the stretch int eh rear frame... what about the backbone? different? basically if someone has pictures of a stock xj frame bare, and a stock xs frame bare..

hi my dads geting a dyno run done on his bike to sort out the exhaust and the air filter so the bike runs right he sead he will get my MT-04 done as well but i was wondering is it worth it as i have done nothing to it ?? thanks

Hello guys, new to the forum and *classic Yam\'s! Only got it a couple weeks ago but I love my bike. Its a 1981 DT 175MX and theres a problem with the electics, nothing works, neutral light, lights, brake light, indicators everything. I\'ve checked all the connections and for water but its still not working, the bike will start and run though. Just wondered if anyone knew of a particually vulnerable area, also is there a fuse box on the bike? Surely there must be fueses somewhere? Many Thanks, Alex. * Well we have has this for about 22 years now, YT 60, uber rare!

I have 82 yamaha seca 750. I was wondering where I could get a solo seat replacemnt for it.

i dont know if mine has one of not.. theres a spare port thats not got anything connected but its 5 pin.. most of them on ebay have 4.. where abouts would i find this on a 1987 fzr400 ? thanks in advance

Ok the original sw arm on my DT had to be cut out of the chassis cos the spindle had siezed solid within the bush and its still solid. I have a second arm but that for some reason is narrower by 1/8 of an inch (exactly thats why i used old money) where the spindle fits but its a gradual increace from the bracings and there are no signs whatsoever of damage. But that 1/8th of an inch makes getting the wheel assy in and out a complete ba5t4rd. My gut says its manufacturing issues with the spare arm rather than any real fult. Y'know a Friday special. So do i fanny about with my old arm, or 'adjust' the spare? I still cant believe the bush spacer/sleeve and spind…

Hi all I have recently acquired an XJ600N, runs fine but has what seems to be a common problem .... oil dripping from the airbox drain pipe. I've read up and thanks to many am clear on what I need to do ..... except for one thing .... When removing the fuel tank, there has been no mention of setting the tap to 'off' ( dont think there is an 'off') or draining the tank before disconnecting the pipe. Maybe im being a bit dense, but what stops the fuel running out all over the place?? Many thanks, in advance.

Hi, First thread here, and like many others, I've registered to tap into the world of experts out there. My problem is the standard battery in my 97 TDM850 wont take any change anymore from a trickle charger. I guess it's shot and needs replacing, however the battery box looks to be situated in front of the rear shock and may need a gynecologist to get it out, any ideas folks? Cheers, Steve

Hi All, has anyone got either a link to or copies of the correct read outs for the CDI unit/ pulse coils & ht coil for a 1995 TRX850 ? Regards Jim

theTW125 has just had a safty recall on the rear suspension on theyears 1999-2000 if your tw is manufactured about that year go to your local dealer and get your bike checked in case your bike falls into that range.

I've just purchased this braced swinging arm off ebollox. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=370167362300 The bike I have is a 1WG, I can't seem to figure out how to fit the tension bar as there is no bracket to secure it to. I was assured it would fit a 1WG Has anyone got any ideas as the guy who listed the item hasn't replied to me. Have I been 'had over'?

Well i get to the point. I just bought a 1995 yamaha yzf 600. First thing is the throttle doesn't snap back, how do you fix that or what will be a good place to look up for that. Second thing is I stick the key in and it has a hard time turning over the on poistion, how u fix both. Let me know please thank you very much.

I want one more on this bike here

Hello, I just bought a YZF-125R 2008 and I need to find its engine number (not the frame number) - do you know where it is located? Thank you!

HI there would anyone have an idea on how to adjust the rear single shock to acecpt a pillion rider and what rules should be followed ie chain slackness or how many turns and in which direction etc etc... much appreciated thanks bundles chris

Hi, I have recently finished restoring my 1982 DT175MX, it starts first kick and ticks over fine but when the revs get to about 2700 it misfires. I have changed the carb and reed valve for completely different units but still the same. I have noticed the the manual states that the CDI should be a 7 wire which includes a red but the CDI on the bike is a 6 wire with no red (the red wire from the flywheel is not connected to anything at present). The guy I bought the bike from said that it was running fine prior to him putting it into storage so I have assumed that the 6 wire CDI would be ok! Would anybody know if the CDI could be the problem? Thanks Ashley
