should i feel stupid driving 125cc....cuz i do at this time??????

I have an N-reg Yamaha TRX with a rather bizarre carb problem. Basically I stored it over the winter, had it running in the garage once to charge up the battery, and then on the first ride a few months ago, noticed that at 3/4 throttle, if you opened the throttle to full, the bike died completely. However, rolling back the throttle gently allowed the bike to run ok again. It was fine before the winter, so what could have changed? It sounds like a main jet issue but it was running fine before I put it away. Anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem? Jasper

Hi there! I'm looking at getting myself a bike. At the moment, the running favourite is the YBR125. I'm just wondering if people had anything to say, either for or against, about it. The other option is the Honda CG125, but the Yamaha seems to be better quality. Was also wondering if it's possible to find whatever user manual or book comes with the bike online somewhere, just so I can take a look through it. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, new to the forum and back to bikes after a long abscence..........Going to look at a 2003 Fazer in about 3 hours...would love any hints as to what to look out for.....it's one owner (female) 6,000 miles with fsh, has belly pan and few other bits and sounds a bargain at 2,400 euros....any quick replies appreciated. cheers Gerry Moore

Hello all i have Avon storm st's fitted to my R6 at the moment but its time to have them changed, with that many tyres to choose from i am after recommendations please, Thanks.

Is in this forum or in the dual purpose one? Thanks

hi guys, i've become frustrated with some of the advice i've been getting from some certain traders in merseyside, i have the new 08 r6, i have two keys for the yam and 2 datatool alarm fobs, so my question is, how do i get the key to fit inside the datatool fob, yes, i know about the plastic peice needs modifying but someone done mine for me and destroyed the plastic peice so much, it looks daft, i've cut my key down and it sits inside but the plastic peice shows too much space, my friends have the buells and there keys and fob look professionally done, so has anywhere close by here know where i can get this done properly??? datatool don't sell the plastic peice ready cu…

hi all just bought 1999 yamaha R6 last owner has dyno jetted it and fitted a race ecu and has race art can fitted how much faster would dyno jetting make it cos unsure if i like how bike runs on tick over and if not much diffrence might convert it back also anybody know how fast it standard bike will go in second before it the red line

I have owned my 03 plate R6 for 10 months and all i have ever had on it are dunlop d208rr, These are a fantastic tyre super sticky and heat up very fast. While i was new to being a biker they were great, but now i am more confident i am having to replace them within approx 800 miles (every 2-3 months) . As i ride the bike every day (and fairly hard) this is getting very expensive, so i would like to ask if anyone can recommend a longer lasting tyre but not much sacrifice on handling.. Maybe a duel compound tyre..

Hey folks ive just passed my test and ive purchased a 2002 yzf-r6. gave the bike a good check over yesterday but theres no cooliant. what should i use? some people have said just use water but dont know if that is the best option your suggestions will be most appreciated. cheers

As a newbie to this site i have a question on the FZ1 Fazer. I have recently roadtested one and found that if i could bring the bars up slightly it would be just right for me. has anyone fitted risers and where is the best place to get them from. This would be my sixth yamaha over a number of years but the first time I have gone in this style so raising the bars slightly would help me finalise my decision. Regards John

Hello there! This is my first post on here and I've just left a deposit on a shiny new FZ1 Fazer after having a fantastic couple of demo rides on it. One quandry that I'm in at the moment though is, as I use the bike for commuting I was thinking of getting the Yamaha side panniers with the bike, but as I don't want to take these all the time, does anyone have any pictures of what the bike looks like with just the frame fitted, but without the panniers attached? The reason I am asking is I wouldn't want to take them off and leave the bike looking a complete mess and (rather unsurprisingly) I can't find any pictures on the net of the frame only. I'd appreciat…

good evening to you all, am new to this . i have a yamaha fazer 600 but have'nt passed my test yet . kath

Hey, I've had my YZF R125 about 4 days now and have done 200 miles. Just out of interest at what point do new tyres stop being new tyres? The dealer said be careful while they are still new but didnt say how long that would be...

Any chance someone would post photo(s) of how the hugger is fitted to the Bullgog, bolt locations etc. I believe Yamaha had their own and there was/is a plastic one by NWS. Thanks in advance tom

Hi I've got an 06 fazer 600 and after riding for just 60 miles I've got a numb bum! Has anyone bought a good aftermarket seat that provides better cushioning or has anyone got a new 08 fazer: the seat's suppose to be better designed! Thanks

Hi all Just picked up my 06 R6 on friday day, excellent beast. Question, is it possible to remove the collection box from below the bike? without having to fork out for new headers? Oh no here we go again, been there,done that,got the t-shirt etc. Want to keep the ex-up valve. Would like to fit an after market can ( link pipe ), have heard that some come with a servo on the pipe so can attach the ex-up cables to? These could be Akrapovic or Termignoni? Any advise, help or forget it back to the bar would be greatfull. Cheers Simon.

Hi Guy's I need a little help, new old old rider just passed test and got myself a YZF thundercat and havn't stopped grinnin yet. Anyway where do I check the oil. I can find any sight glass or dipstick. any help would be great.

Hello everyone! I'm getting a new MT-03 in a few days...I'm so excited, it's my first bike! The looks, the drive... The sound it makes is great! If anyone could advise me about aftermarket exhausts, I would appreciate it very much! I'm looking for a bassy, meaty, deep sound. What would you recommend? (It is a sin to even be asking, since I'm coming from Slovenia, where Akapovič is from:) Thanks for any help!!!! Luka

Anyone know the oil capacity of my 1982 Yamaha Maxim 400?
