Hi all new here and wondered if anyone can help. I am currently restoring a 1987 Yamaha DT 50 MX for my son, its coming together but wheels really rough and was looking for a spoke set 5J0 2510400 (front) I was informed this product is discontinued. I have tracked down a set of spokes in USA for a DT50 but does not state MX. The US part Number is 17W- 25104-00-00 I am worried this will be wrong thing as it just doesn't list a MX. Says it will fit 1988 DT50 L, 1988 DT50 LC, 1988 Enduro DT50 U, 1989 Enduro DT50 W, 1990 DT50 LC (CA ED) and a 1990 Enduro DT50 A Can anyone give me any guidance on different part numbers..... are 5J0 and 17W the same thing just different …

Hello, Name is John. Just bought a FZ1s 2006 reg.. Still the the Suzy SV650, called Eileen, I have had since Sept 2006. The SV and I have been through France and Spain on several occasions and never experienced any problems at all. I hope the FZ is going to be as reliable. It's the first Yam I have owned [or ridden]. I picked it up today. I love it!!

Hi all, thought I would pop on and say howdy My mate suggested I join this site. I'm from sunny Cornwall and ride an 02 Yamaha SR125. Done a few bits to it (oil change, cleaned and serviced front caliper.) So far more than happy with it...getting 65 - 70 mph out of her Stuart

Hi, I'm from Ottawa, Canada, where the temperature is at 0C/32F right now. ( Dec 8th.) I'm in my garage restoring a newly acquired 1976 XS500 to a pretty nice daily rider condition. I had a lot of bikes in my misspent youth. Started with a Honda Z50 (apparently a collectors item now! That's the funniest thing I ever heard.) then several Yamaha 2 stroke twins, then Suzuki fours: a GS550, 750 and 1100e. Somewhere in there, I commuted for a couple of summers on a Honda CB350, and briefly a CB400F. My last bike was a 1978 Ducati Darmah. No bikes for about 20 years and now a Yamaha XS500.. Why the XS500? Well I longed for a 70's bike, but many of them are now too …

Good morning XS500 owners. I'm new here and just acquired a 1978 Yamaha XS500 E. I wanted to add this bike to my collection because the XS500 was the first bike I ever owned and I remember the bike as being a great bike that served me well and was a lot of fun to own. I intend to fully restore the bike to its previous glory so help will very likely be needed and this looks like a good place to acquire the help I will need. Company has just come through the door so i will finish this introduction later. Rob

Hi all what a fab website carnt wait to speak to you all. Anyway must go got lots to read. Stay safe.

Hello all, I recently bought 86 Fazer FZX700. I got it for good deal and am currently pursuing parts to spruce it up. I think it's a great bike and can't wait til it's done and ready to do showing off.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and have a question. I've owned dirt bikes my whole life and just added another to my list of bikes that I've owned. I just bought a 2003 WR450 from somebody who told me it hasn't been started in four years, in storage, they also told me the electric start doesn't work, no biggie, so I bought a new plug and cleaned out the carb. I kicked this thing literally all day and started 4 times but only briefly. Is there some kind of trick to starting these things? I've never owned anything this new or big. Also is there two hot starts. I have one on a lever and one red knob. The bike only started after I messed with the red knob. Thanks.

Hi guys, just thought that I would say hello. Im new here, waiting on delivery of a Yamaha YB100. I gave in to pressure from friends that are constantly banging on about two strokes etc etc and how much fun they are. I never saw the attraction myself, and never thought that I would own one. Anyway, after a phone call from a friend over the weekend I ended up buying a 1983 Yamaha YB100. Not quite running, but my mate (phone call) assures me he can get her to live. Hes very good on the spaniards, so I trust him. Been riding for just over 10 years, and own a tuned ZX6R '07. Hopefully get the bike over the next week and then the work starts to get some…

Hi there to all the names Nic and am new to these Forums so sorry if I take a while thanks and hope To talk to you all soon

Hi Had an RXS 100 a few years back -then kids got in the way lol. Started back with a cheap 125 last year and progressed onto the ZXR400 but always wanted an R6 . My Boyfriend has the R1. Finally I will be getting a 51 plate R6 tomorrow - needs engine fixing but not sure what is wrong yet. Couldn't bare to see it broken up for spares, hence a project for my boyfriend and me to get me onto it by the spring (I am 5ft 1 btw ) Am all excited :hyper: Jo
