    Hi All, I am newbie to this forum as well as motor-cycling. I have got a yamaha rxs100 off ebay for £500. It is in a running condition but there's rust over quite a few parts and the aluminium coat on the engine block has come off. Wondering what can be done about it. I have taken some pics but not sure how to attach it on here. Thanks

    Hello. My names Chris. Im glad I found this place and hope to learn about my bike I ride a yamaha XVS Dragstar 125. Im not interested in getting more speed out of her as I like to relax while out on the road and be able to look around. What I am interested in though is customising her and learn about the mechanical side of things. Hopefully I will find what Im looking for here. Thanks

    Hi all New to this forum and just posted elsewhere so I thought I'd put my gripe up on the New Members area too. I have a 1977(poss 78) Yamaha RS 125 DX. Headlamp bulbs last less than a mile before the high beam pop shortly followed by the dipped.My mechanic has checked all the wires and corrected some earthing errors but it continues to happen. He has as good as washed his hands of it now. He did sugest the regulator could be at fault but I cant find mention of it anywhere in Haynes or on the web. Even Yambits who are generally good for parts don't know where it is. They are insistent that it is not built into the rectifier. Does it even exist?? I assume it…

    Hi Everyone, My names Chris and I live up in shetland. I've got an 02 blue foxeye 600 and love my bike. I'm a member on several forums and am currently setting up a group buy for silicone hose coolant kits for the 98 - 03 fzs 600 fazer. The kits will be made by sfs performance who are a brilliant UK based company. They are giving us a large discount on the order and I thought i'd let you guys and girls know incase anyone was interested. We need a minimum of ten orders and we're just a couple of kits short of that so let me know if you'd like one. The cost for a 9 piece kit is £100 plus an £8 postage and packaging charge. There are several colours to choose from and …

    Hi. I thought I'd introduce myself (as I've already asked a question, oops) My name is John and I live in Stockport. I've had several bikes over the years but my current and favourite is a 1996 XJ900 Diversion. Very comfortable and reliable, so far! I do all my own repairs and servicing but just occasionally I do come unstuck!

  12. Just a quick hello. I'm new to the motorbiking game. Got myself a cheap Yamaha SR 125 1993 model off ebay, spent the last two half days getting rid of the rust and touching up bits of paint work, now it's looking pretty good. I don't have a photo as of yet but I might stick one up tomorrow if I can. Paid less than £400 for it. Looking to get out on to the road as soon as the rest of my gear comes, helmet for example. Cheers.

    Hello all, Recently acquired an AG100 in need of recommissioning, so no doubt will be looking for plenty of advise. I've previously owned a CG125 which was good fun until it fell apart. I'm looking forward to trying two-stroke ownership now!
