Hi, I just got a new YZF-R6 (2008) and I'm trying to install a Scorpio SR-i900 alarm on it. I got the YAM-6 connector that suppose to make this installation easy plug & play. I can't find anywhere on the bike to connect this YAM-6 connector. Its probably just me but it looks like the electricity connector was changed for the 08 model as turn lights and tail light are not connected. Any Ideas? Pictures? Thanks heaps, Uzi

Need some more help from anyone familiar with FJs. Looked at and test drove a 1984 FJ1100 (I've owned 2 in the past so I know a bit about them). This is the 2nd or 3rd owner. He bought is as it sits now but he was told many things I can't visually see. But here's what I do see... Gorgeous Deep Candy Apple paint job with nice subtle white "Yamaha" painted on tank (cool font)no other markings. Engine from outside appearance is a typical FJ motor (no case painting repairs, looks like any other FJ engine) except an oil cooler has been added with steel braided lines (2) into top of valve covers (one side) and down to bottom of side case. I assume this was the standard af…

I just bought a 1996 XJ600 Seca II With 8,000 miles on it. When I got it it tried starting but wouldn't (carbs needed cleaned). Yesterday I spent all day very thoroughly cleaning the carbs, gas tank, petcock, blasted out all the fuel lines. I then reassembled it and tried to start it, I had to try cranking it for almost 20 minutes before finally it started. I rode it about 80 miles last night then parked it. This morning I go out to get on it and it wont start, Ive checked the ignition system and I have good spark on all 4 plugs. Tried jumping it off (in case the brand new battery was weak), didn't help. I definitely have fuel being pumped from the tank into the carbs and…

Hi everyone, I'm currently thinking of getting another bike to use as more of an everyday toy so the NC30 can sit and wait for super sunny days and track outings. Anyway, i'm thinking of getting an early R1... so would appreciate peoples thoughts on them. What things should i look out for other than the usual crash damage and wear and tear? What are they like with a pillion? It needs to be useable for the odd ride-out with the girlfriend on the back... Are there an reliability issues i need to think about? Thanks for your help! Craig.

Going to look at an 88 FZ600 today, this time for my brother in law. Once he saw my bike, it brought back memories of when he used to own the EXACT same bike, but with the white, original paint. Mine is black... but I found an original one and showed him, he's out of the province working so I'm going to pick it up for him today.

Hi all, new to this forum & need some help. I want to change my fixed handle bars with the type that can be clamped on so I need to change the top yoke. Ive heard that an old FZ600 top yoke would fit, can any one confirm my measurements or suggest anything else?? If you can imagine the fork holes and centre hole as a T The distance between the centre of the forks (across the top line of the T end to end) is 186mm and the distance between the centre of the top line of the T down to the centre of the centre hole is 35mm Make sense? Fork diameter is 35mm Any help would be apprciated.

Hey everyone, I just bought a 74 Yamaha TX500 from my cousin a few weeks ago and would like to rebuild the carbs. He told me that the jets were pressed in place, and that the metal around them had been eaten away by gas over the years. He JBWelded them in place and I would like to know if there were any other solutions for this problem. The o-ring that goes around the jet isnt enough to hold it in place either. Im not sure if this is a common problem or not, but thought I would ask. Thanks!

Hello everyone. Now I have ordered a technigas exhaust for my TZR50 and after looking at how to remove mine I have found a problem. My original downpipe has some sort of small metal pipe going to it that goes back to a little black box. Now my replacement pipe doesn't have such hole. Has anyone faced this problem before or know what I can do. Mine is a 55 plate am6. Thanks.

Hello One month before I bought 2001 Yamaha R6. First three weeks was everything all-right. But couple days before I stopped. And it's look like he don't wanna charge battery or somthing with Electric part. I Purchased the new battery. It was riding again, but after 15 miles its stop again. Maybe somebody had the same problems or know what it could be? I would be appreciative.

Has anyone got any experience of using the Puncture Safe 'Puncture Preventative and Tyre Life Extender' product? I have heard that it is good, but can cause a bit of instability at speed.

Hi, I have just registered here and just bought an XJ6 FA after being away from biking for...nearly 20 years! Great bike to get back on, loving it! My problem is putting air in my tyres!, should be simple? I went to my local petrol station and although the nozzle of their air pump is angled I had real trouble getting past the brake discs and the cast arms on the wheels to put air in. Am I missing something? Or do I really have to buy my own? Any help would be appreciated. Stefan

Hi all - I was wondering if anyone knew if the fuel tanks from the 82 XS400 Secas, Maxims, and Specials were interchangable with respect to mounting to the frame and fitting the contour of the front of the seat. I ask because I own an '82 XS400RJ Seca and was thinking about replacing the fuel tank with one from a Special. I saw a picture where it looked as though someone had done the same thing (and it actually looked normal) but had taken off the plastic side covers that normally fit below the seat. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks!
