    Hi, I'm new here, rather hoping someone might be able to help me out with fixing my Dragstar. However this is just an intro so.... I'm 23, been riding since I was 16, started off on an aprilia RX50 geared scrambler (cut the exhaust in half, took out the cat and it would do 55MPH! Took it from bristol down to paignton a few times, 115 miles each way) Then I had a gsx 250 chopper, which I've still got, but it's not been on the road for about 5 years Then my dad gave me an XVS650 for my 18th birthday, and I rode that for about a year (had no 4th gear, but I eventually fixed that) Bought a sportster 883 aswell, and then 6 months later I went into the local HD dealer to …

    Hey all, after a bit of a nightmare with a GSX-R750 IOM TT Edition I was meant to pick up yesterday, which was written off by the dealers mechanic on the test run, I put a deposit down on an 2009 (2008 model) R1 today, chuffed to say the least, it's absolutely stunning, hopefully will be picking it up this weekend, if all goes well! Added the bike here with some pics : My previous bike : Hopefully see more of me on the forum Paul.

    Hey everyone, good to be here! recently started riding a 2002 125 XVS Dragstar for last 2 months, its my 1st ever bike and really enjoying it! and because its im new to bikes i'll have to apologise for all the questions ahead of time! I think its running well, timing might be out a bit but nothing too much worry there (i think). however the rear brake doesnt seem too effective, just wondered how much, in general, it would cost to replace the rear brake shoes/pads? Also im from south east london/ croydon area and if people wanna meet up and ride and you dont live miles and miles away then would be good to meet up with a fellow cruiser biker cheers guy…

    Hi guys My name is Terry and I am 23 from Lancashire. After having a car license for 5years I have recently decided to get into biking. I bought an R125 after doing my CBT and passed my A2 test in October on it. I still have it and plan on keeping it for at least another year or so, just to really get used to the feel of biking. I hope to join in on the forum and hopefully learn a few things on the way. I am pretty much a noob when it comes to 'all things bike'

    Hello Fellow Bikers. Can anybody tell me if there is any differance in the running gear/electrics etc between a 1990 xj900f & a 1994 xj900f.The reason behind my Question is that iv'e just bought a 1990 xj900 bobber project but the engine is scrap very low compression on 3 cylinders.Not the end of the world as the frame has been superbly chopped & there are some great machined parts.So my idea is to buy a 93/94 pre-diversion & use all the good bits.but not sure if the parts are interchangeable.Any info would be fantastic.Also if anyone out there has a complete (must be tidy & mint running) xj900 for sale please let me know.Regards Mark.

    I was looking for a forum for the WR250f when I found this The Yamaha Club. That's even better. Hope to read some good 'How to's' and other stuff about Yamahas.

    Hey everyone, Joined this group because I need some help fixing up an old YG5t. I inherited an old Yamaha 125 dirt bike in the late 80's ( rolling frame and a box of parts). Without much knowledge/parts/internet, I am sad to say it went to the great junkyard in the sky. Now, when I see an old piece of rust, I can't help myself to try and bring it back to it's former glory. Started with a 1966 Bultaco Lobito, and then picked up a 1969 YG5T. I am going to look around, but what I need help with most is how to wire the 12v voltage regulator. I bought a service manual, but my VR only has 2 terminals, and the manual has 5. Just thought Yamaha might have used the…

    Just thought I'd say Hi from a lovely sunny Coventry I am new to biking having just done my CBT and finished it yesterday. Doing DAS so next step in a couple of weeks is on a 600 and around the Mod 1 pad. Should be fun Theory test on 13th march, have checked its not a Friday ! So yesterday I dragged the other half round a couple of bike shops to his dismay, and spotted a poor little Yamaha SR125 all dusty and sulking. Apparently it had been ridden into the shop, not literally, and the guy had just put it in the back and left it...6 months ago. Told me I could have it for £120 delivered, as he can't be bothered to mess with it. Does…
