Hi all! Just picked-up an N-reg YZF750R, looking forward to using her properly... however, one niggle... the front brakes have no 'feel', no 'bite'... they work, but I don't like how they feel. The bike has had recent brakes front and rear (the rear feels fine, it's the front brakes I'm not happy with) and was MOT'd with no advisories just before I picked her up. I reckon it's the pads that have been used (no idea what make they are), maybe they just need bedded in... anyway, could anyone advise if this is 'normal' on YZF's? Or what make / type of front pads would be a good choice to get bite and feel? Thanks all, Gary

Hello to all, thank you Paul for pointing out the correct procedures here,I live in Melbourne and have just bought an xj900 1987 that I'm having trouble with,if anybody out there knows anything about these bikes it would help slot. Regards pat white

Hello Forum Members! I've been riding bikes since 1970, dirt and street. The first bike I purchased was a 1978 XS400 and rode the bike a lot. Dealt with the ignition issues and after that it was a very fun little bike. I moved up in engine size from there and have owned over 20 bikes since then. I have Motorcycle A.D.D. Well, this week I found a nice 1980 XS400 that has had a decent cafe job done to it and got back on one. While I enjoy the cafe look, I am looking forward to sorting the bike and riding it locally. My current "other" bike is a ZX14, which sports 180hp at the crank and 170hp at the rear wheel. Back in the day, we never really had hp numbers on these little …

Hi guys and girls, I've ridden DT125s in the past and have pondered passing my motorbike licence since age 17. I passed my car licence instead and now at 23 I went for it! CBT in the bag, scarily easy to pass and I'm studying towards my standard licence. (94% on mock theory... won't settle until 100%!) So my first on-road bike... It's a Yamaha (derrrr) YB100 97cc 1989 18N Model in Red (happy little 2 stroke). It's CBT friendly, looks like a classic, pulls like a 125cc and produces a smell which would take any F1 driver back to his karting childhood! Bought for £500, it had a full MOT, full TAX, only serviced a month ago and only 8500 genuine miles on the…

Hi everyone, just got a dt125 2003 after getting rather bored with my car And it feels good to be back on a bike for what is expected to be a typically 'average' British summer, and do a bit of green laneing etc Hopefully planning on gaining some good knowledge on Yamaha then hope to contribute back Will speak to you all soon im sure G

Howdo all, I'm iSoupz! Been riding a Suzuki GZ125 for a while, but I've got myself a Yamaha XJ600N tucked away somewhere for when I pass my test - I guess that's like saying I'm saving the good cutlery for if the Queen comes to visit, but y'know... So, to sum up: Hello. I was never very good at introductions. |:

Hi all ! Ian here - just joined up and saying hello! I'm now in my third year of 'officially' riding, after a summer holiday in 2007 with a rented 125 reminded me what I was missing! So finally decided to take the test and bought a fine, little-used XTZ Ténéré, which I maintain myself. If it was a 'mid-life crisis' I hope there will be many more... Used to muck about off-road on various trials machines as a teenager, but so far limited mileage on tarmac. I see that changing :-) Seems like a great community here! Look forward to participating :-) P.S. I'm British but moved to Sweden 7 years ago. Liking it!

Hey, New to this forum, I've posted a couple times in the dirt section. I'm working on fixing up an old 74 mx250 and it has the wrong CDI (actually I think it's the wrong engine and the right CDI) Anyway, I have another Yammer, a 2000 650 V-Star Custom, red bike, blacked out a lot of the chrome, wrapped the pipes added a bit of cf (more like DiNoc not real carbon) I've also had 2 ninja's and I have a KZ400 Cafe Racer. Oh and a pocket bike, but that doesn't really count.

new to this game just like to say hi to every one
