Hi I have recently joined the group and would like some advice. a bit of background info first - my first official bike was a 650 dragstar and for a newly full licence rider was excellent to get to grips with and raise my confidence. I have since had a few bikes and have been a m/bike courier in london and around uk. Now the recent stuff - I have done all of the speedy stuff and seeing as i am getting on a bit now, need a comfort bike rather than a speedy one but would still like a bit of oomph when i need it. I have looked at the 1900 midnight star and can get a pretty good deal on a new one. any advice on this bike would be great as trying to g…

Hello, everyone! I'm from California, USA and am a Yama-nut, like most of you. It all started when I went to the track for the first time, back in '97 with my Honda CB1000. The next day, and although that is a magnificent bike for its intended purpose, she was traded for a '97 YZF750 the very next day; possibly, one of the best handling bikes of all time, IMHO. Just a year later, I was hankering for some more 'go' and fuzzy little pics of what we all thought was the 750's replacement surfaced. I ran to the dealer and plunked down a deposit. Whatever it was, I wanted it. A few weeks thereafter, the news broke about what Yammie was really up to! In addition to…

Hello, I'm so happy that I found this site!! I just purchased a 79 XS750F that the previous owner has owned since 1985. He rode it up to 1994 and then parked it in his garage. It's exactly as it was when he parked it and he states it ran great back then. I'm going to try to resurrect this beautiful bike and get it back on the road. It looks very nice on the outside but hope the inside it just as nice. Any advise on what I should do to prepare to get this bike running would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a picture of it shortly.

Hi everybody, My name is Chris, I live in Dorset. Age 65. I have an XVS1300 with a Watsonian Monaco sidecar. Had the combo just over a year. Anybody else out there with a chair?

Just bought a 2006 Midnight Star last week and I think am in love I am sure I will be visiting this site often.

Just found you guys on the net. SO thought I would register and stop by to say hello. Attended a Victory Challenge last week comparing Harleys and Victory and walked away with a 2006 Warrior Randy

Hello, I'm delighted to join the yamaha club. I've been riding bikes since I was 14 and now it seems inevitable that my son is going to start too.Since he's 13 we grabbed a little Dt50 out of the local paper for next to nothing. Great little bike which we can't wait to get rolling "is it my turn yet dad.... I just need to check it again son get out of the way". We have a few snags but I'm going to post that in the tech forum. Have fun everyone

Hi all fellow bikers... My name is Mason and I own a Yamaha Roadliner Midnight edition, I just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself.

Just wanted to say hello.Ive recently aquired a 92 xj900f.Im really pleased with her though I do find her a bit heavy(im getting on a bit)I will no doubt have more to say in the future

Hey guys, i'm Dan, or Stonesey, joined up here today to get a feel of the yam community, i'm riding a yamaha rxs 100 on a cbt at the moment, but hopefully moving up to do my direct access in the near future i'm manchester based and constantly looking around to make my bike (which is rather old and haggard now) look in top condition! so you'll probably be used to me posting soon enough

Hi all, i recently aquired a nice looking but not running fzr and thought oohhh project however im a total novice when it comes to bikes so i thought i'd pop along here and see if some helpful soul(s) would be able to assist with a smidge or two of advice and maybe a tip on where to get parts that dont cost the earth, thanks for reading p.s. oh btw i'll see if i can put pics of the poor girl up(bike, not myself lol) if current membership status allows me to

Hello everyone! New owner of a 1979 XS 750 SF. Still waiting for the title from our Dept. of Motor Vehicles. Last register was 2000. I am from Washington state in the USA. First time bike owner, long time wanting. I have just purchased the Clymer guide. The bike runs, but it appears to have an oil leak at the head gasket front left and none of the lighting works. Any ideas on where to start would be helpful. Hope to be as helpful as I can as a new member as well. Thank you for all your help.

Just joined so saying a big hello from the North West of England

Only registering yesterday, I thought I'd come back and fill you all in on why I ended up here. Long story short (that's a lie, I tend to bang on all the time I'm afraid) Turning 38 last week I decided to treat myself to an 86 DT 125 LC which is the bike I owned 20 years ago and what I passed my test on, something that I dare say most people on here can relate to. After looking on and off for about 18 months, I finally found a DT worthy of my pennies that wasn't a million miles away and hadn't seen the wrong side of the hedge a few times. Getting giddy on Ebay one night I put in a reasonable bid, had a can of Strongbow and then put in a higher bid and hey presto shes…

Hi all Just introducing myself to you all I am from Newcastle NSW and hope to get some adventure riding in this year come end of November If any one has plans message me. I am not new to riding but just starting it up again I have ridden motor bike since well a wee lad back in Scotland Looking for like minder bikers with the same attitude to go riding with.

Hey guys, Finally decided to scratch the itch i have had since i was 16 and buy myself a bike! more financially motivated than anything else tbh, but even diesel costs in my 45mpg van are painful at the present time! Bought myself a 1989 Yamaha DT 125, this one to be precise: Dont know much about it tbh, plenty of forum searching to be done! Not really ridden a bike ( succesfully anyway! ) before, but took it for a spin down the road last night and was pretty shocked at how hard the power comes in! Hoping to get it off road this weekend get me some practice and get used to the bike. Anyways, sure you'll all hear plenty of stupid ques…
