    Easy question, I'm sure? Are XTZ660 wheels and XT600 wheels the same?

    hi, i have a yamaha 550XT dual sport. Its an 82 but only has 5k on it. The other day i was driving on the interstate and i got a little to happy with the throttle i guess. I was going at a speed the bike was not so comfortable with. Anyhow, i began to feel gas leaking on my legs. I exited and quickly pulled off. The fuel line that goes into the carbs had blown off. The bike turned off once i stoped, i believe because it was flooding the carbs. So i put the fuel line back onto nipple leading into the carbs. But now when i turn the gas on a lot of fuel comes out of the fuel emission tube,(you know the tube that…

    I've just bought a 2001 Yz 250 and it runs like a dream - when i can start it!!! I've heard with the four strokes you need to have the piston at top dead centre, is it the same with the two strokes? if so, how do i tell when it's at top dead centre? Please help, it's driving me crazy!!!

    Question: My throttle has started sticking when its cold. Often sticky in the morning when I leave for work but fine by the afternoon when its warmer and I ride home. The bike is brand new (XT250) Has this happened to anyone else? What causes this and how do I fix it? Any feedback will be appreciated

    Anyone know how many miles you can get out of a full tank of fuel? I've got a 2001 Yz250. I'm planning a long ride with a couple of mates and i don't want to run out of fuel and have to push my bike all the way home!!! I've just bought the bike so i haven't got a clue how far i can go! Cheers.

    Hi All, I just joined the group. I have 1984 DT200L that I bought last summer and am just getting to the bike now. The problem I have is sometimes it starts and most of the time it does not. When I bought it, it did not run. I cleaned the carb as best as I could. I put a new battery in and when I turned the key on, you could hear the servomotor for YPVS working, It no longer sounds when I turn the key on. The bike would start, and run for 5 or 10 minutes, then die, usually far enough away from home base to make for a long hot push. I have spark, and I have fuel at the spark plug as it is wet. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME????? I would really like to ride this bike t…

    MK3 DT (tzr top end though!?) had it for years, most fun bike I have ever ridden but sadly its off the road. It wont start and its not mechanical because The engine was rebuilt about 500 miles before it came off the road. When it was running it would sometimes start to 8 stroke, so I guess this is related to my new problem. Most people tell me its the stater but the wiring loom is FUBAR so I cant really test this. Anyone kjnow a good wiring diagram or had any similar problems? Any help would be great.
