I thought I better say hi again, its been a while since I logged in but I have been reading for years. My old DT175A is going (cough) or at least getting there. Looking forward to contributing. cheers and happy riding Sean

Hey there, I'm Ricky. Recently brought to these forums by a mechanical problem with one of my bikes. I'm 18, been riding bikes for 4 or 5 years now, Started on a DT 125, progressed to an XT 400 (my favourite bike) I rather classic bikes than newer ones, hoping to meet some helpful people who are also into the older Yamaha's. Cheers, and hoping to meet some of you guys!

hi everyone, relatively new to the bike world after a loooong break as a teenager, got another yam so will have many questions, so be gentle guys/gals

Hi after (too) many years on 4 wheels, I finally got back on to 2. A few weeks ago I bought a Dragstar 125 and love it. (In Bermuda the max capacity for a bike is 150cc; mind you the official speed limit is 22mph/35kmh). So, greetings from the small island in the middle of the ocean.

Hi Folks, Just sitting down with my first cuppa of the evening having ridden home on my first ever Yamaha (99 Fazer FZS600) ..... in fact, my first ever non 125cc bike I sold my great wee Vara 125 at 7pm and then went up to collect the Fazer at 8pm. It was a great feeling to pass on the Vara to another biker in the making while I was graduating to bigger (and faster) things!! I know this may seem like small potatoes to the experienced bikers on this site, but to this 37 yr old born again biker, riding home on a bike that seemed happiest in sixth gear (whatever that is) was roughly akin to man's first step on the moon, seeing my 4 children born and watching Rocky …

Hi guys I was wondering if any on could help. about 3mounths ago i broke down, it was the regulator. Iv replaced it, but since then iv had to replace it several times, is there somthing im missing here, as the new one is still has an out put of 15v which i know is to high!! any ideas......

hi, I'm Tomas and have just recently bought a Yamaha RXS 100. What a brilliant it is ! It definately has this classic feel and look. However because of it's age (1989) it needs a little bit of tlc, so I'm realy looking forward to join this community and find out as much as possible about these lovely bikes

Hi, Mid life crisis gathering momentum... ... have just bought myself a TR1 off ebay

Greetings to all, especially the ladies! Made the jump, took the class, and now I have a bike! Today I just bought a set of bikes, a 1978 and a 1979 Yamaha XS400. One runs, the other is close to it. I agreed to take the spare bike in the transaction so I could learn how to do my own work and repairs, but not screw up my transportation in the process. I've been carless for a couple of years, thinking that would help the earth last a little longer... and now I'm tired of riding the crappy, late buses and powering a pedal bike. Ahhh..... the wind feels great! the '78 runs, but I think I'm going to have to bust right into the manual due to the starter button not cooperating w…

new guy here with a old bike. It is a 74 tx500 nice run around town bike(what have I got into) did not know when I bought it that parts where almost as hard to find as rocking horse crap. Just got it where it will start now need to run it over to the DMV to get the title. On the road this fall maybe. I like the site am sure I will be on and off a lot.

Greetings from Eastern Canada. My wife and I are the relatively new owners of two (one each) YZF1000R T/Aces. They are a fairly rare bike here in Canada which is one of the attractions. Here's hoping I can contribute and learn from this site.

Hi Thought I would join the forum to mark the return to the road of my 1977 dt100. It has spent the last 31 years in a shed I.last rode it in 1980! It looks pretty good,I took the time to grease all the chrome,oil in the tank etc to preserve it. Have a few issues to sort out,will be asking for some advice no doubt. Anyway I rode it today and it made me feel 30 years younger if nothing else.

Any one got the classic yzf 750

Hi All i,m Dave from Milton Keynes, i ride a Yamaha Venture 2005 bought it from new great bike. I have also recently aquired a Yamaha YB 100 Deluxe and would like to find out where i can buy spares before i strip it and refurbish it for my wife to learn on. Dave.

Hi , I live in the midlands Uk and have an exup 1000 streetfighter . safe and fun riding to all .

Hello there. My 15 year old son has bought himself a YB100 that he wants to restore before his 17th birthday (06/09/12) so he can take it on the road in as near mint condition as he is able. Are there any recommended web sites we can visit for help and/or supplies? The trickiest thing I'm coming up against at hte moment are replacement decals; anyone any useful contacts for those, please? Also, where is the best/cheapest paint option? I'm loving watching him get his teeth into a real project with a visible end result. Who'd have thought my teenage son would show energy and drive?! The bike was bought as a runner but needs some reasonable anmount of work to g…

Hi, I've just joined the forum, having just bought my first bike, a Yamaha YBR125. Just waiting on it being available to pick up from the dealership. I've been wanting to get a bike for years now, finally the wife agreed it would be a good idea :-) Dan

hi just thought i would say hello, i recently purchased a 1989 TZR 125 which i plan on restoring to its former glory

Hello everyone! My names Matt and i've just joined this forum. It seems like a great idea and I can't wait to get stuck in! Just one question; I am looking for a Yamaha TZR 50 in midnight black, but the 'wanted' section won't let me create a new topic? HELP! please Thanks, Matt (:
