Yamaha Workshop

Hi all thanks for your comments' I have or think I have a problem on start up on my Yamaha xj6s 11 plate model bike as when start from cold it seems to be a lot of rattle noise from the engine as not sure if its tappets or some thing else as after a while it seems to go away and calm down but a little worried as only done 7300 mile? thanks again.

hi iv got a problem with the forks on a dt125 r 1996 model.it failed its mot because the forks were to soft i,v put new seals in then put the right 10w oil in and the right amont of oil 495cc and measused the spring lenght 500mm and everything is good as it said in the haynes book but they are still a bit soft has anybody got any ideas. thanks

this project is close to an end and all i ahve left is this rattle/clunking noise in the cluth housing. i took the housing off to seek out the source and below is what i found. the first one is with the clutch plates off but the housing on. the second is with everything off and you should be able to notice the sound goes away. is this a normal sound and im "searching" for problems? or does this sound louder then it should be. the noise is just as loud with the cover on btw.

Hi I have a 2006 yamaha ybr125 and it is a real pain to start it turns over but will not fire up. When it does fire up it runs fine but then sometimes it cuts out and is a pain to start again I've so far replaced the plug and cap the coil and I've stripped and cleaned the carb to the best of my ability with the tools at home I'm now running out of ideas and any pointers would be much appreciated before I book it in at the local garage. Thanks John

Well after removin the totally bald tyre from my aerox I managed to replace it, up until it came to popping the bead, could any of you kind people give any advice on how to seat the bead? Iv tried using air pressure both at home and at local petrol station with no success, the airs just leakin out were the bead isn't seated, is there any alternative ways of doing this other than payin a garage to fit it? Any ideas much appreciated

My DT takes ages to start, I mean ages, I use it every weekend to go woods

i took my dt400mx forks to bits 10 years ago finally got the tubes chromed but cant remember how the dampers go together .I have all the manuals but the diagrams dont seem right ,can anyone help me please

when i attach my clutch puller and try pulling my lever nothing happens it just dont feel like anythings happening i think i lost the push rod and bearing when disassembling the engine is that what it would be? and its not sparking for some reason the only earths i did disconnect i have cleaned up and reconnected ive lined the timing up on the transmission cogs the dots are next to each other and the stators seated on the wood ruff key fine its really puzzled me

I wonder if any of you can help me out. Took the maxim in for it's MOT and it FAILED (bugger!!) nothing major tho just the rear wheel bearings were shot. When I took it apart there are only 2 bearings inside and I thought that there should be 3, 2 small ones drive side about 40mm across and 1 larger brake side one about 45mm across, but was wondering if I had this wrong cos my XJ has 3 and I have changed them so know that is correct. Also I am having a mare trying to find a supplier for the bearings in the UK so if you happen to know who might stock them I would be eternally grateful as they seem to be a rare as rocking horse shit! Any help on this would be really much ap…

Hi everyone. got a 2000 R1. had a loose chain for bout 500 miles. finally tighten it up, now it sounds like i have a bad guide or something. maybe just my chain is bad. i lube it regularly. but it sounds like the chain is dragging against metal or a really bad guide. any thoughts would be great i want a new chain but they dont give them away. thanks for the thouhts.

Hi, just looking for a little information please.is it always that you need to have your bike shims/tappets changed at certain mileage as if so when does this happen is it at certain age or certain mileage though out the bikes life as at the moment my Yamaha xj6s has done 7300 mile from new. many thanks.

Hello, i have a yamaha aerox 50cc and i want to derestrict it by removing the washer from the variator. I have the correct tools and am able to legally do this as am 17 now. I just want to ask is it ok to remove this washer and by how much will it improve my speed?

Hey Guysss, My fazer's engine is little bit noisy, can some help me out how to smooth it or how to reduce the noise.... Thanks, VJ

thinking of doing this over the winter whats the chance of it actually fitting you can see the wr in action here

i have a 1982 sr125 and im stuck on which headlight bulb it takes, its not h4 like the new ones, its some kind of 3 prong fitting with bayonet cap, dont suppose anybody knows which bulb fits?

So my speedo has stopped working on my xt125x and I can't seem to find a new cable for it anywhere on the net :S Is there such thing or is the fault lying somewhere else? Everything else like RPM is reading fine it's just my speed that isn't showing. It's reading 0mph constantly. ANY HELP!? EDIT: I've taken the cable all apart that leads from my wheel to my speedometer, and it's nothing like has been described, it's like 4 different coloured wires that lead to a connector that connects to another set of wires that go to my main console :/

Hi, as my electro starter is dead. I am searching for new one. Electro starter looks like this - My moto model by yamaha is not coming with kick starter, but there are place for mechanism like that - http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=qnhtlchnd8542ig6pi0m.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=u9b65ar35emhiieq1es.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=bnrmuapghcejrwh601a.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=37zkgpublv71xe72zgb.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=36uchwli1k94lf3fgyfu.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=64cmpcmux2pmhphb201b.jpg http://www.bildites.lv/viewer.php?file=tg0isp7sm2fybirfzbua.jpg My bike - Yama…

So, today i take off clutch, installed idle gear. I put back all clutch, plates, all that is in clutch ... and now started problems, i put my bike in first gear (i do not know why) and it stayed there, i cant get it up ... What is wrong, do i need to take off clutch again? And how to correctly instal that center scruve (cog or what it is) what moves thay thing in other side of engine, who i connect to clutch cable ... ?

So today I turned up the revs a little bit on my xt125 by turning the screw on my carb. It now Idles lovely and doesn't cut out on me constantly... BUT (there's always a but) now when I give my bike some throttle, the revs are staying high and taking a while to come back down to the right idle RPM. Any help?

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade my headlight to a H4? Would a replacement fitting go straight into my '94 SR? H4 bulbs are so much easier to get hold of!
