Hi there. I have myself an 1995 XT350 which has been running fine up until i changed the exhaust for an old one i had lying around, started the bike up and it dident sound at all right, as if it was missing? then went for a ride and for upto 4k revs fine then from 4k onwards it splutters really bad and wont really go anymore, its alomost like its going then not sort of start stop really not sounding good, i then put the standerd pipe back on to find the problem was still there? After hours of playing with various bits, cleaning carb, checking wires etc, it still dident work, i then tryed one last time and it started working again. I decided to try the other pipe aga…

I just bought these two bikes. 1987 YZ250 1986 TT225 They look similar, I don't have them at my house now, but I believe (from what I read online ONLY)that the TT225 is four stroke and the YZ is 2 stroke. Other than that, they look very similar. Is there any info on the TT225 that I should know? I couldn't seem to find much information on the internet. Thanks!

can any one tell me what the difference between a ttr600r 2001/2002 and a ttr600re 2005 ? other than the electric start what I want to know is the exhaust seems to only be available for bikes up to 2002 and from what I see picture wise they look the same to me is their any difference to the exhaust as standard ???? .I need a can on it its so quiet don't have the enthusiasm to modify would rather it just fitted thanx minted

I just started messing with a 77 XT 500. It kick starts and runs well although it seems to be running a bit rich so I will check out the carburetor. I've purchased new tubes and tires, will soon check the brake shoes and drums and may have found an OEM shop manual. In addition to my helmet, boots, gloves and other standard safety equipment, I plan to use a GPS and topographic maps to ride the XT on local rural roads near a river. Any tips mechanical or otherwise to help get me started would be greatly appreciated? Many thanks, XTOwner

Hi, For your next holidays if you have a Ténéré, super-Ténéré or your future SUPER TENERE, you can ride between Deauville (Normandie) and Saint-Tropez (cote d'azur) for your pleasure with only YAMAHA riders. 5 or 6 days, 650 miles and the hotels are "Relais and chateaux". An assitance is planned. If you want more information you can send me a mail. Now I can't give you the price. Bye

Can the XT550 be swapped out for a XT600 engine?

Like the title says. I'm looking for some aftermarket fork springs for my '74 250 mx. I could just cram a couple pieces of pvc in there but I'd like to find some nos progressives or some such. TIA Larry

Hello all, new to the forum but glad I found it. Just bought what appears to be a 1979 Dt 175 for 160$. This is my first bike and I'm planning on a complete restore. First problem I've ran into is the age of this thing, everyone keeps telling me it couldn't be a 79 because of the shocks. So With a couple of pictures I'll leave it up to you guys to decide. *Surprisingly there's almost no rust on this bike, it was just extremely dirty!

Just bought a field bike they say its a 2001 but nonumbers (stolen recovered) is there a site anywhere that i can compare models and changes throughout the years easily to both identify and work out what parts will fit what models? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Simon
