    Good morning: My name is Gabriel (age 53) from Buenos Aires, Argentina, very happy to find this Web site. After a cornea implant (transplant) I'm again on the road with my venerable 1999 XT600. The last three years I was having a good time and experiences crossing the Atacama desert (Chile) following the Dakar Rally Raid in different paths for several weeks each time (2010, 2011, 2012). I started with a NSU Quickly (around 1957 model).This is my tenth motorbike. You are welcome to my country & my house when you want to come down here. I hope I can add an learn some knowledge, showing you the devastating illness I called "the Moto virus syndrome". Maybe I can contami…

    I just bought my first bike off my friend. It is a 1973 yamaha at3 125. It was running when i bought it and it also came with the title. I payed $700. I'm looking for a complete flasher assembly because it dose not have any and i want to make it street legal. I also need to replace the kickstart shaft assembly because it is missing teeth and is a pain to start up. If anyone can be of any help please let me know. Also, when i'm riding I keep hearing a clicking noise. I haven't taken it apart yet to see what's up because it doesn't have a gasket and is siliconed together, so i'm waiting till i get a kickstart assembly. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks

    Just would like to say hello to Yamaha Owners Club. I"m an old guy in his late 60s that still likes to have fun. Got a Honda ST1300 for serious travel but like the scooter for general around the area fun. Had problems with the TMAX right from the start. In fact, its in the shop for a fuel pump replacement. I noticed on hot days that it would give me fits. Wouldn't run. Got me stranded several times. Let it cool down and it would run for days without a problem. Read up on some TMAX problems on the MajestyUSA site. TMAX + hot days = stranded. That got my attention and notified the local dealer and they are tending to the situation. I'm hoping my troubles are over.

  12. Hello everyone!! My serial # on the original title was much shorter than what is stamped on the frame, It took several months of Missouri DMV and Highway Patrol Inspections to get my title back legal, it was the same S/N just not the entire 17 #'s on the frame,l it was just the 1st 7 #'s on the title of the frame stamp! Anyone else have this issue with S/N's ??? 1982 Yamaha xj650j Maxim
