Anybody know where I can get an ignition switch & keys for a 1975 Yamaha TY125?

Well, I've been off my XT for a month now.....& I'll be the 1st to say: It's Drivin' Me MAD! I've done a full electrical check on my XT550 after it quit for no appearant reason whilst getting on the Freeway on the way to work one Friday morning........after scratching my head alot, I decided to call a Bike Mechanic friend of mine who actually likes electrical challenges! We checked all the voltages on the signal coils down @ the crank which were fine.....So we then came to the conclusion that the Primary coil right above the motor, was possibly the culprit........2 weeks & $90 later.....it wasn't! .......So now I'm faced with replacing the only possible cul…

Has anyone fitted the tall screen to the XT 660 and did it do the job.

Hi, is there anyone out there thats knows of some one or somewhere that does 70cc upgrade kits for a 1995 Dt50 and a powerflow exhaust. Cheers Minty

Anyone know the speed in MPH per thousand revs in top gear on the XT660 R. Regards TW

I have a 1998 DT 125 R its a good runner and starts no prob, but in 1st gear it makes a nockin noise, it almost sounds like its under tention, but when you go into second or any other gear it runs as sweet as a nut. Can anyone help with a poss problem ?? Paul

Went out today for a spin to visit some old favorite destinations.... Mt. Hood from SpringWater Rd. along the Clackamas River .... Speaking of the Clackamas river .... Snuck the XT onto a section of a Frisbee Golf course @ McIver state park .... & had to get a pic from 1 of my favorite RD roads .... Then like a DumbArse.....I went & broke the fuel petcock lever off when I got home! ....I'll have to get that sorted....& then onto a spanner-turning session with the RD

I would like to put a 450 into my WR 426-2001, because I broke down and I would like to go faster than friends....help me please..... its time to ride now....lots of mud in NB Canada/....

Just wanted to say hi to everyone, thought i would join a club because im 17 and have just bought my first proper road bike (been popping round on a scooter but we dont talk about that, lol) its a 2000 WR400, and i love it, im doing my test on tues so i havent been on the road yet but its great fun to ride, anyway i will get off and speak to ya soon, oh and by the way if your after some cheap gear i got Boots, pants, jersey, body armour, gloves and goggles for 250, all Thor so it aint bad either, it was on www.1stmx.co.uk, cya

Hi there am a newbie to the site but was looking at getting at a crm250 but the yamaha dt200wr has come more highly recomended. just looking to see if anyone owns one or had owned one? how much am i looking to pay for one? whats parts availbitlty like? whats the power? because am only 18 am only allowed 33bhp. and most importantly what are they like to ride? sorry for all the questions but any help will be much apperciated.

Hello Forum, Hope someone may know of this problem, my xt600e 2002 is consistently cutting out/spluttering if you use it at full throttle at high speeds, for instance motorway it is useless i have to keep it at 70 to stop this happening. It has a predator exhaust and has just been dyno'ed and rejetted - it had the problem before this, since dyno it is quicker and runs better, but i am flummoxed and it is ruining a great bike for me. I have tried carb cleaner, before dyno, no joy, could it need an uprated fuel pump or new fuel tap, i was wondering if it could be a vacuum occuring, or is it ht lead? Please throw some ideas this way if you can, thanks Teeb. java script…

I have downloaded the valve clearances from the Yamaha specifications. I'd like to save the cost of a service manual if all I want to do is adjust my valves. Does anyone know if the valve adjustment on a 2005 TT-R230 is screw-and-locknut or shim-and-bucket?

howdy, i just signed up because i've been trying to find out about the new dtr 125x but been having no luck. i've been dying to get a motorbike for ages (been riding downhill mtb's for years) and i've always had my heart set on a yz125. i've recently decided against this as there's nowhere to ride one and they seem a bit highly strung. anyway i was out shopping with a mate yesterday while he was hunting for a nice 400 sports bike and i spotted the 125x. i totally fell in love with it, it looks amazing. it looks like you could really throw it around and have some fun on it and still ride it to work and the girlfriends house. plus it seems like the perfect bike for some…

I am looking at buying a used YZ426F and was hoping there would be some people out there to either talk me into this or out of this. It is listed for $2800CND and I think this is a pretty good price, have only seen pictures of the bike and the guys lists it as being in great shape, and new graphics, seat cover, clutch, newer rear starcross tire, and handguards. I know this is a Yamaha site and all will be telling me to go for it but if I could get some of the bad sides of this bike as I know all bikes have them that would be great. Let me know what you think of that price as well. Thanks Jeff

hi everone i'm gutted some shit nicked ma dt125r from my work i've had it 2 years and it was a great wee bike it was the 2000 model and would do about 85 so i'm gonna have to take the plunge and buy a new one i was wondering if anyone knew how good the dt 125x are as i don't get offroad much nowadays, but i love the size of the dt125re and is the dtx a lot smaller cheers in advance.

I'm restoring a '79 DT175F I've had for about 25 years, and am wondering; does anyone know if the factory (silver) paint is lacquer or enamel? Thanks for any help!
