Hi, could anyone give me a step by step guide on how to make my TZR50 run richer please thanks Sam

Can anyone please shed some light on this! I just got my first R6, it is a 2000 bike with only 7500 miles on it. The bike cuts out when kicking down gears and stopping, the revs drop and it stalls, checked the norm things like plugs and filters, both fine. The pick up on the throttle is spot on and it runs lovely when ticking over in stand, ride it down the street and stop at the end the revs will dip and the bike will cut out. It starts no problem and your ok till the next time you have to slow rite down. Any help would be great.

Hello, is it a daft question to ask if an XT 350 driveshaft can be changed with the engine in frame, or at least without stripping the whole engine down? How easy is it to replace one? Mine's well chewed at the sprocket end and flapping around, any answers please? Thanks.

I've got a 1985 xt350 That needs a new brake caliper. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding a used one, and am wondering what if any other yamaha models use a brake caliper that is interchangable. Or, if anyone can share a source of cheaper aftermarket calipers. Thanks.

Hi new to the forum and hope someone can help! The thieves have struck and tried to nick my tdr 125 they have ripped the wires off the ignition and then for some reason have left the bike alone. I have taken the ignition barrel off and taken it apart..... the RED and BROWN wires are still connected but the BLACK, BLACK/WHITE, BLUE and BLUE/RED have been ripped from the solder and I have no idea what order they should be soldered back on in!!!!!! Any help would be great.

I'm trying to compile a list of performance mods i can make to my R6. I know the basic ones i.e PC3, Filter and Exhaust. Are they any other mods you can make that won't jeopardize the engines life span etc. Also what specific brands are best? Cheers.

Firstly, sorry that I double posted this. I didn't realise there was a normal discussion part and a workshop part. So... i've read that the SR125 is meant to have three positions for the choke. Mine only has one and it goes right back in when I let go of it. So i'm guessing that it's meant to stay out by it's self when working properly? So how would I go about changing it? And is it a complicated job? I'm only 17 and this is my first bike so I've got no clue when it comes to the mechanics of it. Also, can you leave the choke out and ride the bike at the same time while it gets hot and then just let it back in later? It''s just that it takes me like 10 mins to get…
