Hello all, 29 yrs and loving my wee dt125 re at the minute, they say you never thrash a four stroke like you thrash a two stroke really into offroading but it's hard to find places and people in northen ireland! Glad to be a member now, hoping I can be as helpful as everyone else always is here

Hey All! Been prowling the Yamaha/Vintage sites for years now. Diving in now. Not brand new to the Moto world but close enough. Had a '80 Suzuki GSX ~5 years that was put to rest after a Montero did some cosmetic alteration to it - without my permission (or serious injury thank God). Took a few years off, but love it too much. I love to ride and love to fix things even more. Thus, my love for vintage. I am female about 5'8" so not the size of most of you guys and wanted a bike that I could manipulate easily. So I got 2! Both fixer-uppers (just how I like them): 1968 Yamaha YG5T 80cc Trailmaster 1968 Yamaha L2 100cc Trailmaster I debated a scooter, but prefe…

Hi, ive just bought a YBR125 for some fun, going to start from my house in Rutland ride to lands end, then up to John O Groats via the west coast of Scotland and then back home, this is a test run before flying the bike to Cape town and riding it north to Lira in Uganda, to give the bike to a charity i support over the internet, so about 7,000 miles between them, should give my arse a work out! Have plenty of other bikes to play with from Aprilia RSV, Ducati 851 down to Benelli 250 2c, Sunbeam S8 and a Monet Goyon from 1954. cheers Ian

hi dudes I was trying to post this in the parts forum but it wouldn't let me...hey ho....Ive got mt 03 on a 57 plate but the speedo assembly unit has packed up. I'm getting quotes of £300 inc vat....bit annoying as just dropped £450 on a service. Finding to try and get a cheaper one is proving to be a bit tuff.........any thoughts where I could get a second hand one or if there is another unit that I could use that is cheaper and will still do the job?? any comments appreciated cheers

Hi all Just bought a 1998 FZS 600 and was wondering if there are any disabled riders out there who know of any way to extend the gear lever? Following an accident I cannot bend my left leg beyond 85 degrees. The seat height is about right, but I can't twist my leg enough to use the gear lever without causing pain in my leg. Any help would be appreciated.

Please help I just got this scooter from a friend and the fuel gauge is fluctuating? It is relatively old 2002 model but do not know where to start ? Regards

I would get it fitted by the dealer but i cant afford it. again sorry for the incre…

Hi all. New two Jap Bikes with TD175 1975 USA Import. A joy to work on until came to get Engine out. Removed 3 Bolts as per instruction, however Engine just rattles around each Location Lug area and will not come out. No visible damage to Frame. Engine will just not come out, am at wits end !!!

Hey I've bought a FZ6-N. The owner I bought it from only had one key, a blake one. When I went to my yamaha dealer they said that you had to have the masterkey to registrate new keys, they also said that they couldn't reprograme the ECU and make me a new one. Instead they said if u want more keys u have to replace the hole locking system, and it will cost about 17k+ SEK aproximately 2K €. So now i wonder is there any cheaper easier way to get any more keys as reservs? Please help me if u know anything
