New Members Welcome Area

Hello, my name is Baz and thanks for letting me join. A bit of background, I have been riding since I was 7 and have been hooked ever since. My first real bike on the road was an early 80's XT250 red tank gold rims. I have had various bikes over the years and I still have a few bikes now and one of the pride n joy's is my 1995 XT600E. It has been a journey as I bought it cheap with work to do and have enjoyed every step, some details: originally put new airbox and brakes, work on original carby(s)to get going on the road, After a while reco speedo and taco as well as new stainless spokes and alloy rims. Currently undergoing motor overhaul with big bore 660 kit, rebuilt cr…

Good morning all. I'm new to this site but I've had loads of yamaha motorcycles. Whether it be on road, dt or yz. I'm currently building a dt175mx. I think it's a 1978. I have no papers or registration documents but it has matching engine and frame numbers starting with 2A7. It'll be great if I can get it registered with a logbook.

I paid up my membership so i could sell my YZ80K however does anybody know if the classifieds are used as i'm the only one with an advert on? or do i need some kind of permission to use the classifieds ? . Does any user on the site know how to go about it ? I tried emailing the site staff but I've had no response from both mails

Hi, all Just to say hello and thanks for taking me onboard. Best regards RaySin

Dear All Blessings...I'm trying to establish the year model of my DT50. The number stamped on the head stock is 17W-20349. Any assistance will be appreciated. Wayne

hi all, new to the group and have just acquired a 1998 yzf750 thats been sat for 4 years, pure nostalgia trip. going to get her back road ready for next spring, lots to do but starting at the front end. brake master and calipers cleaned and rebuilt with new seals and onto the front forks requiring a rebuild. so my first question ~ what weight fork oil to use, haynes manual says to use yamaha fork oil '01' which i've checked out to be 5w. this seems very light to me, what should i use 5w, 7.5w or 10w any help much appreciated. thanks mark.

Riding for about a year, owner of a fairly rough 1991 model and enjoying the trials of running a 30 year old small bike 😀

Just a "hello"! My name is Tony (as if you couldn't have guessed!) I'm up near Carnforth - top left hand corner of Lancashire. I picked up my Tracer 700 (2020 model, 21 plate) last weekend - and (eventually) found this group. I'm hoping to find lots of useful info here, hopefully relevant to the UK. I've been riding for years - lots of different bikes. The Tracer might be the nearest I've found to suit what I do - fine weather rides around the Lakes and Dales. I'm looking forward to it - when the rain stops! That'll do for now - don't want to bore you all too much!

after being blocked out for years I am back good new or bad ? thanks for sorting it Alex

hi all!

Just one week to go, then I collect my first ever Yamaha. Been riding since 1979, mostly Honda and Triumph, but have been seduced by a BT1100. Currently riding a Triumph Tiger 995i, so just a little bit different. Never having owned a Yamaha, there may well be some questions, not too many I hope. I do all my own maintenance and servicing, so looking forward to the mix of new, and old tech. Here's to the future, and further biking adventures Cheers Stu

Hi, just working on my XT660r...have some questions!

🙂

Good afternoon ladies and gents, My name is Charlie, I was researching some information for a build I'm hoping to get started in the next couples of weeks and figured I would join up as a full member so I don't have limited access to threads and can engage properly with the Yammie community. I'm going to be picking up my mates old 2007 DT125RE in pieces this week and start putting it back together accompanied by a full engine rebuild. This is how she'll be run until the winter when I have time to deconstruct it again and do a full restomod jobbie on it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of you and have a natter about this and that. All the b…

Hi Everyone, I am in my sixties and have three bikes: RT1200 (2010) - Honda VFR F 750 (1996) and.. a Yamaha YBR125 ED (2007). I have joined because that last one, the Yam, is causing me all the grief at the moment. After a prolonged period of being stored in a cold lock up, I pulled it out and started to get it started. I am still at it a week later. Here is what I have done: 1 Ignition barrel contacts dodgy. Pulled it apart, cleaned the contacts and all good. 2.Fuel was v bad. Drained tank and cleaned it. Fuel pump u/s. New aftermarket one fitted (£21) to the existing sender unit assembly. Tank cleaned and resealed. 3. After this it. ran so I …

I hope I'm m in the right place. As the title says, I' m New to this site. I ride a 79 Yamaha xs750 special with 16k on it. Runs great. I've owned a 62 Harley Duo-glide back in the day, 2 Hondas, 305 scrambler and a cb 650, 2 Kawi's a kz440 and a 750 Vulcan, 2 Suzuki's both GS 850 G, ( My favorites) and now the Yamaha. I' m retired and live in TN just south of Nashville with plenty of back roads to ride. I' m old but as long as I can throw a leg over the seat, I' ll ride. Keep the rubber on the road and your feet up!!

Hello, Newbie here....thanks for allowing me in. Currently riding a Tiger 1050...but have had my head turned by a Radian! So...i am all joined up here and will be asking for advice in the appropriate thread in a bit! See you around!

Hi, I'm Dan. I live in Poole. I currently have a 2002 Thundercat which I've owned for 3 years since returning to 2 wheels after a lengthy lay off! I have just acquired a 2001 Thunderace which I bought from an auction site for not a lot of money. 12,000 miles but I think much UNloved. It starts on the button and runs well. Unfortunately, as I don't want to get wet, (I'm far too old for those shenanigans) I didn't get to ride it for a couple of weeks. However, one Sunday morning, the sun made an appearance so I decided to take it for a little spin. 10 miles later I'm back home and well pleased with the initial run once I'd put some proper air in the tyres! I did notice…

Where’s my YOC shirt, Foamy?! 🤣 Hope you and the gang are all still around. Seriously though, hi everyone. I’m Sacha. I joined several years ago, but haven’t been on in ages. Finished my doctorate and have been working full time as well as trying to get out on the bikes as much as possible. This last winter was a long one! I have a 2014 Bolt (Bobby Dee) and a 1976 DT175 (Sweet Dee). I restored the DT with much help from the YOC members! Hopefully I’m still welcome. 😆
