Hey guys im new to the forum and wondered if anyone can help me? Ive been riding a ybr125 for 6 months now with no problems until recently theere has been a problem that gets worse every time i ride. There is a grinding noise and feeling near the front end of the bike that only happens on acceleration and happens more in lower gears. It tends to happen on revolution of the wheel. Any idea would greatly appreciated! Thanks Wayne

Hi there I wrote a post a few days ago, but cannot find it now! Anyway I am new here and ride a 650 XVS Dragstar. I live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Passed my test last November, but am still relatively inexperienced as I do not have with whom to ride! My husband is about as new to it as I am and rides a Triumph Tiger, but does not appear to want to go out riding much . . . Next month I am doing the two day BikeSafe course as I think any help to make improvements is a good thing! In my previous post I asked if anyone can advise about 'exhaust pipe heat shields' as I have scorched my leathers more than once and even hurt my leg thru them! I am getting better at ava…

Passed my Mod2 on Friday and went from a cheapy chinese 125 to a 1998 XVS650 Dragstar Classic.. Christ its like sitting on an armchair. Anyhow, based in Stretford Manchester and will be out and about when ever I can

Just wanted to stop in and say Howdy from North Texas. I've just recently purchased my 2nd Yamaha. I had a Kawa Voyager 1700 but decided that 1300 Venturer S suited my needs more and since my dealer had it on sale, I couldn't pass it up. So I'm official a Yamaha Owner again. I had a 1100 Star several years ago. This baby is packed, Cassette Player/FM/AM and a 6 CD Holder/Player in the back side trunk, CB Radio, hook-ups for a intercom system. It rides smoother then my Kawa did doesn't have the pick up that my kawa did, but the pluses outweigh the 1 neg by a long shot.

Hi all, just a quick hello, just bought myself an xt125x but the speedo is not working(common fault?) Will be tinkering to try and sort it but just need a bike to get me to work (save fuel on the car) Tom

Hi guys and gals, I'm Taylon from London and currently rockin' a 95' Black on black FZR600r which is in pretty immaculate condition. Some of you may have seen it on ebay 2 weeks ag... well its mine and I love it. One slightly small/big annoying problem however... It hates 2nd gear :-s Its jumps and skips out of it like theres a tooth missing in the box. Anyway i'll post more about that in the correct section. I hope I'm welcome and look forward to some meets this summer! Taylon. PIctures to follow tomorrow.

Hello all, Greetings from just North of London, UK, my name is Joe. I have got my self my 1st motorbike, a Yamaha SR125, had it a couple of months now and I love riding it. Thought that joining a forum would be a good measure as I am hoping to get to grips with maintaining my bike my self. Hopefully soon I can take the full motorbike test and get my hands on a bigger bike! Joe

Hey there, I've picked up some great information and tips from this forum...so thought I'd register. ...always loved Yamaha...although for the first ten years of my life all I had was a Yamaha trombone and the family Yamaha piano. Wasn't until close to my 50th year that I finally got the Yamaha I wanted...a 1971 XS1B 650. Candy orange and that great and distinctive two cylinder throb. Add a year and I came across a 1978 SR500 with that wicked thump of one cyclinder...and that finicky warm kick start that I've finally figured out (after 2 years of kicking my knee off). This year...the odd squad is complete as a friend gave me his 1978 XS750 S…

i found this forum only recently, i ride an fz6 fazer bought from new in 2005, done only 28,000 miles on it. might be chopping it in for a new xj6 diversion. test riding one soon, cant wait!

Hi all, a newb"ie on the forum, I have got a Fazer fz6 s2, try to get out on it when i can after driving my truck all week, ( which i`m slightly embarrassed to say, as it is my other passion), don`t leave a lot of time for my poor wife, lol.

Hi there i have done a complete overhaul on my Yamaha RXS 100 and i'm stuck on how to get the baffles out the exhaust pipe, i got the screw out the bottom but cant seem to pull out the baffle, any pointers and advice please?? Cheers Kas

Hi everyone my name is Craig and I'm new to this, I recently bought a dt125r 1999 model and It runs fine untill 5th gear where it stays at 9000 revs at 60mph (6th gear useless because of this) I de-restricted airbox which helped acceleration and I pulled out Reed switch (not cut just moved out of way) which I thought let it rev freely but did nothing? I know my powervalve needs put on right position as its lined up in restricted form and maybe my cdi needs de restricted? I've got standard exhaust chamber de restricted and a dep end can but I know it can do more than 60mph any ideas or help would Be much appreciated thanks
