New Members Welcome Area

Hi all, Just introducing myself to you all. I own a 1991 SR125, which is my daily commuter and an 1993 SR250 which is an ongoing project. I started biking as it was the cheaper option to getting a car and found that I got a buzz from the ride. I try to do most of the work needed and services etc myself and i'm lucky to have a well learned relative to assist when i'm stuck. I'm 24 and have only been biking for 10 months but can see myself becoming a bike nut over the next few years. Anyway, just to say Hi! Michael

Hello from West Wales to all you good Yamaha folk ! Just got my 1998 YZF 600r yesterday, cannot believe how good she rides considering her 14 years and how many differnt bikes i have used . Mush better than my CBR 600F { boring}, and even better than my previous 636, { less comfy and too small} Gotta feeling i`m gonna like this Yam .....A LOT !! Cheers...... Mark.

hey everybody, just signed up because, yes, I need halp! i'm new to bikes (usually work on cars), and in fact don't even have my "new" bike in the garage yet (77 Honda 350). But my friend just picked up a YA6, and I know we already have questions. anyway, just saying hi. If you know anything about the wiring, feel free to chime in. I'll be posting shortly in the "classics" section. Thanks

Hello everyone! My name's ste, I'm from Birmingham and I've not long purchased my XVS 125. I'm in love with the bike and made many many visual changes with the bike, aswell as sorting out a load of bodging that was done by the previous owner...the guy had literally used silicone sealant on EVERYTHING! so after sorting all that I started to ride, got a bout 5 rides in so far and at the moment a new problem happens everytime I fixed one, but I'm staying positive! Current problem is my push lever on my clutch has just gave up so I'm currently searching for one that's in stock somewhere whilst I have one on back order, so if anyone happens to have a spare just hit …

Alright folks, just came across this site and thought be good place to get info etc for my bike. I recently bought and old skool FZR400 Genesis 1987. Its a lil ruff round the edges but not in a terrible state. Ill get a pic up when i have more time. I was going to do a streetfighter project with the bike but now as its the first ever FZR4 i thought clean it right up and keep it original. Are these or will these be sought after bikes??? DOnt like the idea of chopping it up and turning it into a streetfighter if there getting rare. Anyways My names Billy and im from Essex. Cheers.

Hi all I'm Lee i am looking for a dating cert to register my DTR I've rebuilt is there anyone who can help many thanks for any help regards lee

Hi all, Im looking for some advise, ive recently bought a 2003 Xt600e, the bike is great, however, i would feel a little more comfortable if the bike was a little lower. Does anyone know of anyway of lowering the bike apart from looking for boots with bigger soles. Many thanks, Mark.

Hi everyone, I have owned several Yams over too many decades I now have another one. RT1 B to be precise, like a forerunner of the DT. Problem is locating a tacho cable in the UK. I know there will be one from a different model. it's just finding which one. So here is my request. If anyone can spend a few minutes measuring their tacho cable and then let me know the length and their bike model I can probably get a cable to do the job. The length I am looking for is 865mm, or within a few centimetres, with 11mm and 15mm screw cap fittings respectively. Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello folks, I,m brand new and am just introducing myself, names Dave , I,m 56yrs old and have 2 lovely Yamahas, a 2009 red TDM 900 and a maroon and white Sr 400 single which I,ve just registered. Many moons ago my first bike was an orange RD200 twin bought in 1972 when I was 17yrs young ! I,m looking at a test ride on a 1200 Tenere at the end of the month when my local dealer gets a demo model. ATB Dave...

Hi everyone, Just introducing myself really... as the title reads I'm a total newbie, I live in South London and I recently bought an '04 XVS125 Dragstar('L' Plates and all). Thought i would join because I've got a bunch of stupid questions about bike stuff that I want answered for free. (Might as well be honest). I'll do my best to contribute what little i can as i go along. Cheers!

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Just got my Yamaha DT125 R 1999. I have a little problem with it, it runs fine at low revs but as soon as it gets to around 6000 revs it bogs out, also as soon as the throttle is opened fully it does exactly the same. It's not a restriction as the amount of revs it bogs at changes every time. Thought it was a dirty carb but its not that as had it all cleaned up and didn't stop the bogginess. Been told it could be my coil so I've brought a new coil. Any other ideas on what it could be?

Hi everyone my name is jay and I'm new to the forum , iv googled a lot and its always led me to this forum and the info has helped me out so much , will be learning lots more now iv registered , take care

'Ello, newbie here, both to the forums and to biking. I got my CBT done in September and started scouting for first bikes. Years of familial teasing about being short (I'm 5'8"!) is apparently embedded deep into my brain, because I went for the Custom rather than the regular YBR simply for the lower seat height. About a week of angst based around what a massive mistake it was to have such a shiny, good-nick bike as my first one, I came out of our drive onto the massive hill I live on, had to stop for a car coming up the slope, put my foot... and my weight... on the downhill side... and toppled over in supremely slow motion. The car driver even paused to watch (but…

Hi Everybody Weekendrambo here ... I currently own a Yamaha YBR125, used for the daily commute into & out of work!! Great non expensive bike!! My first Yamaha bike, as Ive previously had Suzuki Bandit 600S, Kawasaki ER5, Kawasaki Z1000, Kawasaki ZR7.

Hi to all about time I said hello, got aDT175 which I've been very slowly putting together, been reading the forums for. A while which has been most useful better than any manual . got a few problems still so look forward to chatting soon and thanks for your unknown help so far! JABS

So I recently picked up a 82 Maxim/XJ650. It had a bulb that was out on my rear right blinker when I got it. I replaced the bulb and went on my first ride tonight. Half way through the ride I noticed that when I'd hit my right turn signal, my front bulb would stay on solid and the back was out again. Guessing there might be a short someone or something along those lines. Fuses all look good. Not that bulbs are expensive but it's a waste to replace any more without fixing the issue at hand. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

So hi, as I said i'm very new to bikes so any advice on day to day maintenance and tricks of the trade would be very much appreciated. Thanks Everyone,
