New Members Welcome Area

I have a G reg XJ600 pre-diversion, in reasonable nick. I usually use it for local trips and to go into town without having to worry about parking. It gets an easy life with me, I don't belt it and it only did 500 miles last year! It makes a useful shelf in the garage! Nice to find a site where people exchange views about them.

Hi, can anyone date this DT125 I found in an old bike repair shop in Bangkok, ALL parts are with it in boxes kept & stored by the shop owner 15 years ago, I'm going to resore it,...any inf/tips will be apreciated thanks!!

My 750 Genisis stalls when I put it in gear, done all the seals, got pressure etc? Could too much oil bind the clutch, could old plates grip when new ones wont? It was working fine bar slight air leek requiring bleeding. Any Ideas most welcome I miss not using her.

1983 Yamaha Maxim 400. Besides the Clutch cable, what is the other cable for? that comes into the Clutch Lever Assembly. The reason I ask is that mine has come loose.

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!

Hello everyone...Does anyone know the color code for a Yamaha 1979 DT175F. The color is silver with red stripes. It seems that the tank and fenders are supposed to be the same color. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Very Much! Mike

G'day. I live in the home of enormous boody great tropical cyclones. Been riding a 1991 GPZ900R for the last 17 years and 240,000 kms until it tried to kill me a couple of months ago. Sadly it paid the supreme sacrifice and has been carted off to the wreckers. For some time I have been contemplating an upgrade and what I really sought was the current equivalent of the old GPZ. That is, something I could load up with all my gear for a comfortable 7600 km round trip to Phillip Island - something I've been doing for the last 15 years or so. Had been thinking along the lines of the 1200 Bandit until a friend suggested a look at the FZS1000 and as it turned out, th…

Hi good day fellow Yamaha club members, I am in the process of restoring my dads old bike, a Yamaha FZR 150, with the frame and engine # 3KW. I am based in Manila Philippines. The fairings had been neglected and I am looking at just getting an OEM of the Yamaha FZR 250, will the fairing fit or will I need to have a great deal of modification to make it work? Thank you. Hoping for your kind response.

Hi I'm chris, completely new to motorbikes I only passed my cbt last weekend, got myself a little xvs 125 dragstar ( to big of a bloke to fit comfortably on anything like the ybr's to be honest) pleasure to meet you all folks!

Hi all I'm new to the site, inspired by frustration. I sold my BMW k1200lt to help move house some while back. As the money side of things got better i thought i'd get back to my younger self and buy a doer upper in the guise of a 1979 DT250mx. After about a year now (this is the frustration part) i still don't have the parts i need to finish the bike. stupidly i hadn't done any research on the availability of bits but i had hoped ebay and a few breakers could get me there, not yet. The main thing that irritates me is that i have seen the same model bike for sale in a worse state of missing parts than mine, offered for sale as an easy winter pro…

Hello Wonder if anyone can help me. I live in Lincoln and have an RD500 partially rebuilt. Looking for a contact who can get the bike going for me. The engine has been rebuilt and is in frame.

Does anyone know anybody near me i can take the bike to. happy to pay going rate. many thanks

Hey ppl I got a dt125r 1991 and every time I ride it I have coolant coming out on to my swing arm I have just had my head and base gaskets done and I was just wondering if anyone knew what it could be I was thinking my self the thermostat Thanks Zac

Why would a water pump cease up?

I'm the Corbstar and would like to say hi to all out there! My 1975 dt 400 is running pretty good but has some of the usual electrical woes as a road going machine. Just wondering who, where might be best to post for this bike. Over n out.

Hi all, brand new member and first ever forum thing I've attempted. Just bought a BT1100, all nice and tidy but I want short undertray and tail etc along with a single side exhaust. I'd like to think there are companies making this kind of thing as general production pieces as I have seen many photos on the internet of the look I want but I'm buggered if I can make any headway. If anyone could steer me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated. I'm not lazy just lacking a little knowledge. Thanks

Hey all.. Very glad to be on here. I recently crashed my black and gold R125 and am now fully recovered. The Right side is rufled up... the brake lever is severly bent.. Also i have no more front indicators... Other than that.. the bike is as sexy as ever. Anybody in the lodnon are or a guardian PLEASE to help me grectify this for the sun which is streaming through the window. I doubt im gonna get anything faster. The crash scared me a little. I think ill abuse the power of a bigger engine. Anybody.. please, help me out... Reccomend somthing to me. ANYTHING... its just sitting there...LOL

Hello I have a lovely refurbished 1982 DT175MX in black that was re- built for Trail racing. It is petroil mix and starts very quickly. I have increased the front sprocket by 2 teeth for better road use. I would like to improve the silencing of this special bike can any member help?. If any one lives in NW Kent with a DT175MX it would be good to keep in touch. Regards CRJ

Hi, guys Nice to see a comunity with so many people ready to help each other. I'm looking forward to being a part of it. I've been riding a '91. TD125 as a kid, dabbled a bit with european bikes, but eventually got back to Yamaha. Now I own a '92. XJ600s Diversion (8 years now) and it meets my needs so far since I don't get enough time (or money) to travel far and the maintenance expenses seem to be increbily low. I call it "The bike for the monetary-challenged biker"

I have been reading a lot lately about hard starts and rattling/ticking noises in R1s of different years. I purchased mine used last year with intentions of making a track bike out of it. After a week or so I too noticed the famous "ticking" sounds they love to produce. I took it to the wizard here in Tennessee and found that the cct was in fact bunk and replaced it.This did help some with the hard starts, I'm guessing that it caused improper timing issues. We checked the fuel maps and found them to be right on for stock settings. Still after a few days of sitting it is hard to start. Any other ideas???
