Hello everyone. Just recently passed my A license and treated myself to a brand new XJ6 Diversion in Race Blu! Already wondering what ways I can mod it. Loved modding cars, but now loving the world of bikes. Take care and see you on the forums soon.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Been riding Bikes since 1987, always Yamaha of cause First one was a XS400 Seca, then a XJ 600 and a FZS 600 Fazer. Currently I'm riding a FZ6 N from 2007. (2006 model) Michael.

Greetings from Chelmsford (no Essex boy jokes please!). I've just upgraded my 50cc scooter to a YBR125 and wish I'd done it years ago! So far the YBR125 seems like a great bike, the only problem I can see is that it's developed a squeak at the back while I'm riding but I'll post a question in a more appropriate forum on that!

Hi all, Quick first post for you. I'm Mark, I've just bought a 1988 RXS100 to get to work and back instead of a car, which was costing me a fortune.. First ever bike at the age of 38, and now wish I'd got into it ages ago. Very limited knowledge of bikes, but I've done a few bits and bobs with the help of a trusty Haynes manual. So far it's had a new seat cover, gearbox oil change, new air filter, new mirrors and a bloody good clean. Needs a few other bits tidying and sorting, but bought it with a years T&T, so should keep me going for a bit. Anyway enough running on, here's some pics - Cheers ta Mark

What's up guys, I recently bought a 1996 xj600s, I have commun knowledge of dirbikes but know nothing about my new streetbike! I will be posting questions and learning from this forum! In my experience forums are the best places to learn from real people! I'm looking forward to learning from y'all! Kam

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Sam from Ohio and I'm restoring a 1983 Yamaha IT250....I belong to American Motorcyclist Assoc.,Christian Motorcyclist Assoc.& Applachian Dirt Riders. Been riding for 36yrs on and off road. This is my 2nd restoration project and enjoy building dirt bikes. They are simple and fun. So any help from previous or current IT owners would be appreciated.

Hi All, Just purchased a 1978 AG175 in boxes, looks good, only surface rust, so should be easy resto. It came with a factory parts manual and a supplementary service manual for a AG175h which is the next year model [cdi ignition]. All this for $80aus. This will be my first full resto, but have been around bikes since 1969 when a cousin and I built a gobike with a pushbike and a 160cc Victa lawn mower engine. wassie

Hey guys Im darren from Perth Scotland Got a DT125 2005

Hi everyone or should I say Hi Yall I joined the site to help fix up 2 70's enduro's for my grandkids One is a 73 125 and I have it running but with some issues, the other is a MX100 and the battery just came in so hopefuly it will be going soon. Any way I'll be lurking and hunting info.

Hello People hows it going. I am rolling around on a 125 at the mo but am half way through my DAS and want to get a Thundercat as my first big bike. So fingers crossed i will be blasting around on it soon. Hopefully speak to your guys laters

Well Hi An Old man here, well middle aged at least that's bought a 1994 DTR 125 from a lad at work who had blown it up.Plan is to strip and rebuild over the winter, have already ripped all old off and replaced plastics, tank and seat with DT125x Stuff, Once everything fits right its getting stripped back down and fully painted/powder coated and supermoto converted and I will use in the better weather for work and hopefully not act my age. hoping to find a few things I need and call on others experience as there is no sham from learning from others mistakes

Hey my name is Andy I just signed up as I'm looking into getting an XVS125 when I can afford one. I really like the bobber style so I'd l recon I'd have a go at customising a standard XVS125. Thought I'd better say hi before I start posting so Hi =D

hey everyone! im new here. i have a 1977 LB80. just got it running after it sitting in the shed for 9 years! well its almost running... the float valve had sprung a leak and filled up with fuel. so, i actually got the fuel out of it, then buffed up the sides of the little brass float cans, and re-soldered it. and there is no more leaks! i made it cold in the fridge, then submerged it in hot water, no bubbles caused from the expansion of the the air inside the floats. i just need to find out what the float valve height is now. i did some un-necessary tweaking before i realized that it had taken on extra weight. if anyone knows where i can find this information, …

Hi, I'm new here and new to motorcycling. I have ridden a pedal cycle almost everyday since E.T. came out at the cinema and couldn't think of travelling any other way. That is, until recently when I bought a Yamaha YBR 125cc. Now I keep asking myself why it took so long to upgrade to a mechanically propelled bike. Oh well, I suppose it kept me fit all those years. Now my priority has shifted from fitness to convenience as I mainly use my 125 to commute instead of enduring those pesky night buses. My journey time has been cut from 1.5 hours down to 20 mins... Having worked on whatever cars I have owned, I look forward to doing he same with my bike, obviously with a little …

Just got a 1979 Yamaha XS400 - hoping to sort the insurance and get started riding tomorrow - really lucked out getting this vintage bike from a guy who really loved it, put money and time into keeping it in great shape. Wouldn't mind finding a shorter, more "bobber" style seat, but first things first!

Hi all, just registered. Am in Evesham, Worcestershire. Just got my 1st road bike 2000 Yamaha R6. Very pleased Cheers

Hey y'all. I'm a chic. A mom, wife and Yamaha XJ600 owner. I've only recently gotten my endorsement and have logged only the few miles I rode in my Harley Davidson New Riders Edge class. (Very expensive.) I'm hoping I can get the 600 to start and at least be able to push it down the road before I lose my skills! HA! I will be racking your brains, but I have a 35 year veteran mechanic who also happens to be my grandfather so I will try to keep the annoying to a minimum. I'm in college to be a teacher and I have two boys one 3 one 9 months. Soon I will have my very own 2 car garage for the 600 to rest in. But I think she's doing a little too much resting currently. I got th…

well wot can i say ive not riden a bike for well over ten years and my last bike was a gp100 but ive just bought my first bike in all that time and im loving it but its going to take some time to get use to riding as my thumbs are still killing me after such a short ride home and im loving the pop and bangs sounds better than my skyline and yes i no the paint work is out of date before you tell me but i think its the only 1 in bristol and its had a few owners so im guessing it may be a members old bike

Just thought I'd say hi as at 27 I've finally got myself a dt125RSM according to gov website there's less than 500 of them registered. Guess that almost makes it a collectible
