Hi , my name is Barna , from Brasil , I'm, too a happy owner MT 03. If you need news from Brazil or about our motorcycles don't hesitate.

I have a '86 fz750 which I have just replaced the 1986 1fn engine with a1989 2mg engine complete with digital ignitor to suit. (Digital Ignitor is TID14-56 2MG-10) Does anyone own a 2mg engined bike using this ignitor that could tell me the position of the 5 wires that connect to the ignitor from the loom, and also which wiring diagram they use. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been unable to find a wiring diagram for the '89 2mg. Thanks.

Hi, Thinking about purchasing a 2010 /11 FJR1300 A . I have absolutely no experience with Yamaha's What should i look for when checking these bike over as i'm sure there must be some faults as with any bike. Thanks

Hello, I've just aquired a 1989 YZ250W, the frame has been repainted and so I need to know what location i can find the VIN / Serial #s, also I know that WR means wide ratio, but when ther is no R , what dose just the W stand for?. Thanks Littleone.

I've just bought a 1994 Yamaha XJ900F (4BB) as a non-running winter project. I got it home on the back of trailer, topped-up the oil and connected it to my car battery. Sure enough, it started first time ! It sounds a little rough, but after 115,000km who wouldn't ? New battery and spark plugs arrive today. We'll see if that makes any difference. I have the opportunity to buy a complete spare engine with just 44,000km on the clock .... a good idea ? It seems cheap at 100 euros. Please advise. Thx.

Just joined he club so I thought I would introduce myself to everyone. My name is Steve and I live in a small town in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I currently own a 1982 750 Virago with 112,000 km and still going strong as well as a 1987 Virago 1100 Gold Edition with 60,000 km (my baby). We have a tradition here that every Friday the 13th, bikers from all over converge on the tiny community of Port Dover Ontario. I will be there (God willing) and look forward to meeting a few thousand like minded riders. Y'all have a wonderful day now!!!

I joined this forum in 2008 when I was doing my DAS. The "handle" I have I don't want anymore and I was wondering if it was possible to change it and keep the same account or do I need to make a new one? Cheers

Hope someone can help here. I have a YBR 125, which has run very well up to now. It has just done 4000 mls. On a recent trip after about 20 mls I stopped the bike and returned after about 15 mins. The bike started as normal, but then cut out after about 100 yds. It would not start after that. I left the bike to return with a trailer, and it was left for about 2 hrs. When I returned the bike started and I rode it home (about 20 mls) without a hitch. Whats going on here. Also some time ago the Tachometre packed in and the bike shop couldn't find the problem. Is there a connection here, or are these separate faults. If so has anyone an explanation for either or b…

Hi all,just joined.Not owned a bike for 25 years and have just bought a 1987 yamaha fzx 750 with a 1000cc genesis engine fitted.I have no paperwork or info on what year the engine is,would i be right in thinking it is a fzr unit,because if i want to replace the engine anyone know what year of engine i could use without loads of mods.Also as to yet bought a few bits and pieces for the bike,but seem to come to a dead end looking for 4into2 down pipes.Any info would be greatly received however small.Love this bike and want to put it back to a very high standard of finish as i will never sell it.Anyone who has changed engines as above,i would like to talk to.Thank you all for…
