Hey everyone. New to bikes. New to riding. New to carburetors. Not new to fixing stuff. Been an auto mechanic officially for about 7years and been (trying) fixing stuff all my life. Always wanted a bike and just came into an 83 Yamaha Maxim. Hopefully will be on the road before the end of season but not if I cant get this fuel problem sorted out. If you think you can help, I have the problem posted in the tech forum... thx --LEo

Anyone have a service manual for a 1990 R1Z 250 3xc?

Greetings all! I just became a member and I'm looking forward to many years of Interaction with the "club". I just bought a very restorable (hopefully, piece by piece) 1973 Yamaha AT125 enduro (still can't believe it!) I'm 52 years old and I owned this very same bike when it was new. It was also my very first bike with many more to come after that. That very first '73 125 was taken from me prematurely by a Woman running a red light (car) through an intersection going 40 mph. I got t-boned by Her and I was ALSO doing 40 mph. When I finished bouncing off of cars ACROSS the intersection, I picked myself up (yep) and hobbled back to the scene to find my bike wedged under the …

Hi, Ok, it's an old bike but new to me. The guy I got it from says it's an 1982 Maxim 650. The number on the crankcase is 4H7-102276; the number under the side plate says Engine Family: BYA065044 A6. Near as I can tell from research so far says this is a 1981. I'm going to tear it down to the frame and do a rebuild so I'd like to be sure I know what it is. In the gas tank is a bit of rust inside. Anyway for me to remove this myself? I've heard of guys putting in fish tank gravel and shaking it around; not sure how effective that will be. Also I've heard about "tank liner"; again, is this something I can so or should it be sent out? Any help is appreciated. …

Hi everyone my name is chris and i am brand new here in the yamaha owners club. I am 37 years young and just got my first bike. It's a 1979 Yamaha 400xs. I aquired this bike by trading a computer for it. It doesn't run and doesn't have a title so my first step is to search for the title and hopefully find it so i can prove ownership and start my project of restoring it. All i have right now that shows it's mine is a bill of sale. I plan on striping it down to the frame and rebuilding it to like new condition. That is my goal at least. My father once told me that if i ever got a bike i should get one like this so i can tear it down and rebuild it. This way i know my bikes …

Hi, my name is Christian and I live in Bergen, Norway. I have a Yamaha XVS125 Dragstar that I bought to years ago. It's my first bike and i'm really happy whit it.

Hello all, I found this site while looking for info to fix up my 13 year old son's new(to him) and first bike, a 1981 IT125 that he bought with his own cash. It was running like a two legged cat when he bought it, and now it's slowly starting to come around. As for me, I'm an Irish biker, riding since '78 (a CD 175) and have had almost all makes since. I've been living in Canada since '87 after surviving a three year drinking session in SE London. I'm a full time Carpenter that enjoys tinkering with all sorts of things but can safely say that there's not an hour of the day that goes by without me having some thoughts about bikes.
