Naked

I managed to get myself over to the Aircooled RD Rally at Ashbourne on Saturday 10-07-04 and it was fantastic If you ain't been and you get the chance in 2005 then do it :wink: Anyway ......... Images of the event have been posted on my site www.rd500ypvs.co.uk Fred.

Will all you people keep riding Yamahas till u die??? :roll:

Would this be any good, I just saw it on ebay.

My friend and I are in different camps about which is best, any views?

Hi guys and girls- it's been a while... So I was cruising from Warwick to Southampton yesterday, and i was coming down the A34 just by Newbury when I felt something pushing on the inside of my right knee- it felt like a strong wind almost. So I glanced down, and as I moved my leg to get a good look the side panel made a dramatic bid for freedom- leaping acrobatically from my bike before crashing to the tarmac some way behind me... And here I am, one side panel down, and wondering "where the hell am I going to get a right hand side panel for a 1991 XJ600?" (before anyone asks- it's not a diversion!) Any ideas guys? Muchas gracias

when people say you need to get a pre 91 cdi to derestrict th bike, does this mean that a 1991 cdi is restricted or derestricted? sorry about this just a bit confused. Ross

Hi, I've just got a new XT660R. What a brilliant bike, I've necer had so much fun on a bike and I've had 27 in my 40 years of riding. The only dissapointment is the scruffy plastics: lots of little scratches and poor paint finish. Is this normal on trail/adventure bikes? I've only had road bikes up until now. I don't know whether to complain or not. The other one in the shop - the supermoto version - was also marked up. Any advice/info appreciated. XT Alan

Hi again guys Going to look at an '89 1000 EXIP tomorrow (twin headlight, rwu forks). Apart from front discs/calipers, exup valve and a bit of clutch rattle is there anything else to look out for? I know FZ750s pretty well and the motor is basically the same so shouldn't hold any surprises. Oh yeah, it's done 28k miles. Cheers Rich

Hey Guys, On the USA Yamaha website, they're showing new pics of the 2005 Yamaha range from the 15 July 2004 (Next Tuesday).......check it out! http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/categ...otorcycles.aspx I've already seen pics of the 2005 R6, it's the same as the current 03-04 model but with some engine, brakes and fork tweeks and sexy under seat exhausts like the 2004 R1. Looks mint!!!

Anyone know if it's possible to buy the collecter box seperately or do I have to buy the front pipes as well?

Hi all, I own a 1996 TZR 125 R. For some unknown reason my headlight has stopped working. The headlight flash function works but not the dipped or main beam. The bulb is definately ok. Is there a fuse that can cause this problem. Has anyone got a wiring diagram, all I seem to get is blank looks when I ask about manuals for it. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Jayne (new biker)

How much can I expect to pay?

decided to spend the day sprusing up the xj's suspension. the back shocker was cleaned/greased etc.. but the most noticable thing i done was strip the forks, clean them all out, put fresh heavier oil in them and way hey, loads better. apparently the divvys are quite soft in the fork department too so i'd say it's worthwhile doing this to them also. to put it bluntly, the forks in my xj were soft as sh*te, the bike feels 100% better now. good days fettling highly recommended 8)

Hi Guys, just wondering if an FZR1000 genesis ( 87-88 ) is eligible for classic insurance? Cheers :wink: Rich
