hi, bike developed a problem and left hand ignition coil for cyls 1 and 4 split open causing fuses to blow.have now changed both coils for all cyls and only firing on cyls 2 and 3 but coil for cyls 1 and 4 gets warm ans does not spark as checked for that when i changed both coils over, also noticed the electric rev counter is not working as well. could some please help me out as running out of ideas. could someone also shed some light on the little electric box with a four pin connector sat on a ally heatshield attached to the frame with two phillips screws behind the left hand side pannel as been told there are two igniter boxes on the xj600 pre div or is it the regulato…

Hi guys me again lol Well going through the sr 125 with a dalts of salts and took the chain cover off and noticed that the rear and front sprockets are hooked. Like the teeth are hooked if you know what I mean and the chain seems slack as there is roughly an inch movment from where it rests normaly upwards and about an inch downwards and a bit of play from side to side if i push it towards the bike itself... There is enough adjustment for two clicks if you know what i mean dont know if thats going to be enough? Also the nuts with the split pins that go through the rear wheel I suppose need to be torked does anyone know what bar/nm this has to be and can I only do…

I have an on going problem with the bike and now for the first time I also have fault code 53 and 00 displaying intermitently on the screen. I have tried looking up the codes and am still trying but cant seem to find these codes, any one know these codes.

got these with a pileOparts, two banks same carbs. help ID thanks.

Hi all Can someone please tell me if there is a small hole through the pilot jet I have removed them from the carbs of an 89 XJ600 they all seem very solid so not sure if there is a hole or not. The bike has been standing for 5 years and although I have managed to get it started it is only firing on 2 unless I spray petrol into the air intake when the bike picks up ok. All help gratefully received Thanks Gary

Hi, I have a 2006 yamaha r6r and it has developed a big problem, it wont start. The symptoms are as follows:- When I insert the key and turn it the clocks all light up as usual but the immobiliser light keeps flashing and here is no sound as usual from the fuel pump and the coolent temperature guage reads HI. The engine turns on the starter but will not start. I am pulling my hair out as any so called help from yamaha will cost a fortune! Any ideas as to the problem would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

I have changed the tank on my FJ 1200,on the old tank the fuel tap was free flow,on the new tank the fuel tap has a vacuum pipe and electronic tap,the mounting bolts are different sizes so i cannot swap them over.Therefore where do i connect the vacuum and electrics to?

Hi, Yesterday went out for my first decent 'mission' just over 100 miles round trip. Everything worked fine. Today I am cleaning up my beauty, and when taking off the Chain Guard I noticed that the CHAIN seems loose, so that on a hand-rotation of the wheel it actually touches the acrylic 'shield' near the drive sprocket. Does this mean that I have to tighten the chain a wee bit? (I ermember doing something about this on the CBT, but I thinkthat was a caution about chains being too tight)

Hi I'm a new rider and have owned this great bike for a few weeks now. Today, I powered her up and all was well. Then after letting the engine warm up I switched off and went in to check ecerything OK. Second time she started up, but when I put her into gear WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ON, she bucked then died. The power has completey gone from the bike...... What do I do now to fix her polease Thanks PS Have Manual

Hi i have a 2002 R6, rode it home about 40 miles with a few mates, started fine and rode well now, i try to set off and it takes a bit longer than it should to start, however gets going and is fine when i go to leave again after stopping it wont start at all, can manage to get a start with loads of throttle but needs to be kept fully open to hold a very weak idle, as soon as you wind off the throttle it dies, if you hold the throttle open fully for a little while the revs will eventually pick up and it will rev ok again. a freind advised me that it could have been the carbs require replacing - which i tried but this didn't help! also the oil light has …

hi can anyone help. Have just purchased a 2002 sr125, in order to take test and move onto a bigger bike. The bike has been a bit neglected, left in street to all weathers and not sure about maintenance. Starting is a bit of a struggle, but with carb clean out new spark plug its improved, next is the valves and chain adjustments. But the thing that is bugging me now that I have been able to ride the bike is that it seems over willing to turn left or right at slow speeds, when you turn the handle bars. I know you will think 'yeah turn the handle bars what do I expect' but the steering on this bike seems to almost want to take a dive to which ever way you turn. Could it be n…

my problem is my bike runs too rich between 2 and 4 thousand revs, meaning it goes sloppy and makes for poor handeling. the guy whos serviced my bike and dynod it has recomended a dynojet kit. do i really need ti though? will it solve the issue? cheers david

I've been told that 2003 - 2005 headers will fit the 2006 R6R, they just need an adapter for the end can. Is this right? Any one any ideas where to get this adapter? If any one has any info on this subject I would apreciate your input. Many thanks in advance Jim

Hello. I own a Yamaha YBR125 which I have ridden since March and its possibly the best thing i've ever bought. I am very impressed with the performance, handling, and economy. It's great in towns and on twisty lanes. I am wondering if perhaps I could start running it on High Octane fuel such as BP Ultimate or any of the branded types you find at garages? I have only put standard unleaded in there until now but I wondered if it might help the smooth running of the bike and perhaps make it a tad faster? I would be interested if anyone else uses High Octane in a YBR and has noticed a difference? Sorry it's such a long post! Thanks.

my paintwork doesnt feel smooth and shine like it did b4 i sprayed it. im pretty sure ive done it right. is there some sort of after treatment you need to give it? if so when and how, with what from where? cheers david

Hi all, Okay, for my first post...... How long should I expect to get out of a battery on a 650 Drag? Just had to replace mine and it was suggested that the battery was just old...... I've had it about a year myself and, though it is a GS replacement battery, it's done anywhere up to 34,000 miles over the past 9 years. Just wondering how good that is? Ta, Woody.
