Just finished this toy

Hello i have a TZR 125 1990 2RK, im looking to set the YPVS. Could anyone tell me what models of the DT will fit my bike and any others . I have which i believe needs the control box ( not sure if its the 3 wire or 5) So does anyone know how to gain the control box or could help me out ? Thanks Guys

Hi Guys, just after a bit of advice really. I've got an 06 r6 with 43000 miles on the clock and I was looking at selling up for a R1. However, I was offered £1000 in p/x! It has more money than that on in accessories! Can any one confirm that is about right? Am i kidding myself that its worth more? The bike is in excellent condition with Gilles stuff all over it, carbon everything, Akra exhaust with de-cated stainless headers, braided hoses, Galfer discs all round and power commander. Thanks for your input Jim

Hello!! im new to this forum and i need a little help. I own an 87 tzr 250 1kt, i believe is the same as the 2ma, well i live in Ecuador and it is nearly impossible to find parts for this bike, my bike needs everthing that has to do with electrical including the magneto( i believe thats what its called), and a friend has an inline 4 600cc motor with all the electrical, and i know it will not fit but he said that we could make it sit lower, even if that is possible im wondering if the bike would hold that much added weight and torque? or if anyone could help in telling me what other motor might fit. I will appreciate any help

I've a 2008 (manufactured in 2007) YBR. Didn't realise when we purchased a couple of years back that it was an imported model from China. Not that its any trouble, its been great. But.... I took the carb apart to give it a good clean and noticed the square / oval kind of shaped rubber gasket (has two bolt holes either side) between the carb housing and connection to engine block could to with replacing. Now, the gasket from the carb UK version ybr is a different size (larger) and doesn't fit. I phoned two Yamaha dealers local to me and both informed that they can't get of the parts of the Chinese model. They gave me the part number I need (5VL E35 660000) for the ga…

I got a yamaha not to long ago. Its a 1987 Yamaha Virago. It doesnt have an instrument panel due to the previous owners wife putting a hammer to it. Currently i clock my miles with the Odometer. I reset it to all Zeros when i fill up the tank. The bike starts to choke between 75-80 miles then i have to put it on reserve before i get to a gank station. It takes 10 dollors to fill it up... If im Somethings not right. $3.53 a gallon of gas 10.00 to fill up Thats 2.83 gallons in my tank. 75 miles divided by 2.83 gallons... thats 26.5 miles per gallon I know im a new biker but doesnt that just not seem right? Can i get any suggestions? What could be causing …

I drive a 2005 yzf600r, it has been running fine since February up until recently. a while ago it started bogging down at full throttle or anything over 60mph. I originally tried running sea foam but it didnt help. so I took the carbs apart and cleaned them and put in a K&N air filter, got everything back together, and it ran even worse. It idles fine, but had trouble picking up speed, seemed like it would catch some power for a second and jerk forward and then lose power again. barely went over 40mph. so since i put the new air filter in I found out i was supposed to rejet it because of more air flow. So I took it apart again and rejeted the carbs with a new dynojet …

I'm thinking if buying a Yamaha FZX 250 Zeal. Early as poss after 1992 The first thing to tackle is.....How do I get the seat a bit higher? Thinking about... having extra foam in seat professionally done! It looks dificult because of the smooth design wrapping under the tank. Providing larger wheels. Particularly front wheel. Longer shocks on rear. Any suggestions welcome. RegardZ.

I know the difference between 125 and R6 and R1 for example... But Is a bike safe by the size of the tyres ??? I don't ride a bike yet, I am learning. I have however driven a car for 20 years + On the bike I am afraid of skidding off the road LOL so I was wondering if the tyres are bigger does it hold the road better

Hiya People I need to find a pair of standard end cans for my TDR 250 (1988). Does anyone know of anywhere online that I can get them, if possible? Many thanks

Hi folks, I want to replace the standard exhaust on my FZ1-N for something with a nicer note I want something street legal and carbon (the bike is black and the carbon will look good). I've seen photos of other bikes with Scorpion, Beowulf and Yoshi cans and all look good, but which would you recommend and why?

Specified r/min Faulty circuit 3,000 r/min Throttle Position Sensor (T.P.S.) 7,000 r/min Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP) 8,000 r/min Fuel level indicator Well my bike is indicating the codes 7 and 8, so I guess I better check the wires for the tank, as for 8 the exup valve and servo is gone so how do I stop the bike self diagnosing? Any help would be great.

Ive done them on my old yamaha r1. Then again it was a light bike and very easy to do. Now i want to do it on my 1987 yamaha virago(frame). But the engine is a 1997 yamaha Virago xv1100.(thats what the person i got it from told me) The engine number is 1te-003563 cant find anywhere to see what year or information on that engine. Never done one on a cruiser so i need some tips I want to try to a small wheelie(maybe a few inches off the ground) until i get use to the weight of the bike to go higher. 1) Do i have to actually attempt to life the bike with my arms or should it lift on its own 2) what gear do i get the most torque from ( assuming this is where i n…

Hi all, To me a single top box on a YBR125 custom looks a bit unbalanced and throws off the lines of the bike. Does anyone know if I can mount side panniers? If so, which ones and tips for fitting? Many thanks Rach
