Hi, i have a 2007 R6 i just bought it and i noticed at first a little oil leaking out of the top left bolt in orientation to the Engine oil filler cap. I called the dealership and they said it could be lose so i tightned it 2 half turns. Then i rode the bike a few miles and i noticed it has gotten progressively worse and the oil had gotten on my muffler and shoes. Plz need help ((. Any help appreciated. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v702/xai...gineOilLeak.jpg

We finally got a Yamaha Raider into our R&D Dept. at Corbin Saddles, after receiving numerous requests and calls these past couple of weeks. I just wanted to drop on by and let all of you know, you can expect to see a product line-up similar to that of what we offer for the V-Star 1300. Including, but not limited to : Fairing / MP3 Player , Hard Bags, Chin Spoiler, and of course, the same top quality Saddled we've led the industry with for so many years. Any questions or requests can be directed to Corbin.com, or to me personally at [email protected]. Thanks, -Ryan.

Hopefully someone here can help me with this. I need to know if any(new or old) model yamaha rear wheels will swap with the 1100 vstar. I'm not a concerned with the difference in diameter(IN FACT i'M LOOKING TO GO TO 18/5.5"). I want something with the same hub and will bolt up with minor mods. thanks kerry

Hey guys, newbie here. I just picked up a '94 FZR 600 for $500 as a winter project. It has been kept outside for the past 3 years and is in need of a fresh powdercoating along with new plastics and such...after a few hundred cans of brake clean are used on it and it is power washed. However, I want to swap out the swingarm for something a bit wider so I can fit a beefier tire on the rear. Will any year R6/R1 swingarm bolt up without too many problems? If minor custom fab work is needed thats not really a problem. Thanks

Can anyone suggest the best thing to do with the awful headlight the Thunder cat has, except never take it out when it is dark.

Hi n00b here. Just bought a new YBR125 and was wondering, I'm sure I read somewhere that the 2007 YBR125 had an automatic choke, is this true? My YBR125 has a manual choke, I don't know anything about the retail bike industry but I would assume buying a new bike in June of 2007 that you would get the 2007 model? Or am I wrong on both counts lol? Great little road bike though!

Hi all I am thinking of upgrading me helmet from my AGV Stealth to a Shoei X Spirit or 1000. The main reason is I want a quieter helmet (I wear plugs anyway) and for comfort, as I ride about 300 miles a week, all year round. Has anyone got any experience of these helmets, as the reviews I have read seem to suggest that the 1000 is quieter than the the X Spirit? Thanks for any advice!

Hi All Right Im now fed up with being overtaken by lorries on the way to work (A2 in kent) on my XV125, its just too slow going up hills, so I have booked my DAS for the 26th October. Im looking at getting a bigger bike for the commute to work (and have a bit of fun on) I need something with a fairing on it as it will be used all through the winter, it needs to be comfy for a pillion (if i can persuade the missis to get on it) not too new as the budget wont stretch and not a sports bike so a bit of an all rounder, was thinking of an XJ600N as i prefere it to the diversion's, just got a few questions if anyone can help. Do the XJ600N's suffer from any common faults (blo…

Hi everyone, I'm a newcomer to this site and would just like to take the opportunity to say hello and congrats on the great website. I'm not a Yamaha Owner (yet) but I am looking to take delivery of a Yamaha R1 in the next couple of weeks. The one in particular I have my eye on is a 98 Model with 40,000kms, and I just looking to do a mechanical inspection before I take it home. My question is what sort of things should I be looking for with regards to this model i.e. were there any major / minor faults that plagued this model, or is there any particular part of this bike I should pay particular attention to, and if so, what should I be looking for? …
