    hi, I have a 99 thundercat, the temp never goes above 60 unless i'm in traffic on a hot day. I've replaced the thermostat but it has'nt made a difference. Does anyone know how to rest the 2 switches on the back of the of the thermostat housing. In this cold weather the temp gauge isn't moving, the radiator is warm which indicates to me that the thermostat has opened and i'm concerened that the bike is over cooling.

    Hello one and all. I have recently bought a RXS 100, 1989 model that is in need of a lot of care and attention. This is the first 2 stroke I've owned since my YDS7 when I was in my late teens. I hope to get this one restored to good working order, with some tips/pointers from you guys (fingers crossed). Thats it for now, I've got a 'needs' list to do! Cheers

    My name is Harmesh and I am new to the bike scene. I am working my way to passing my test and last year I jumped in at the deep end and bought a tired Yamaha YBR 125 (a non runner). The bike needed alot of work to be road worthy but the main reason was I wanted to learn about bikes. Now I am riding I hope to complete my Mod 1&2 soon.

    Always believe it's good manners to say a big hello to everyone when joining a new forum, been riding bikes for some 34 years now. 1st yamaha was a DT175 pre mx in1980 the last was an XJ900 a few years ago. Now the proud owner of a TDM 850 (4TX) Problem is it's had a frontal, so I dare say I'll be after advice on interchangeable parts. Also differences between the models. I

    Been in to bikes since age sixteen. Most fun bike I ever had was a RD350YPVS, but have had bigger and more powerful bikes since then. Am missing the sound, the smell, the light weight handling and the smiles. Mid-life crisis? maybe? But I'm not sad enough to buy a Harley! Dave (Bristol) PS if the nice person who nicked myne in 1988 could give it back then no hard feelings.
