So Name's Allen. Im 23 & Just bought my first bike, its a 1996 Yamaha XJ600

Just thought I would say hello and say that the reason I joined this group is to hopefully be able to gather information on an older Yamaha that I am getting. I have had a Yamaha or two in my past, notably a 1977 red RD400 that I sold to by my wife an engagement ring..over 31 years ago. I am in Northern Ontario. G.

Hi Everyone. A second time time Yamaha owner. Picked up my brand spankin' new Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom yesterday. There is nice weather here in Melbourne this long weekend as well so looking forward to come nice cruisin' (to condition the engine) rides. Bring it on!!

Hi from Ireland I just got my first bike a Yamaha Dragstar XVS 125 l.m

just wanted to say hi and say that im a yamaha tour deluxe rider who enjoys the company of other like minded people.hope i can make new friends.

Been a member since August last year and realised I have never put a post up till tonight. Spent the last two years restoring a 1979 RD250LC and a 1982 DT125LC. Spent an absolute fortune but the outcome was worth it, still got work to do on both but heres a few shots of work so far for you!

Hello, My name is Phil and im currently looking at a 08 plate R1 in Graphite. Im going to take one out in the next few weeks. I currently own a Kawasaki ZX6R 2007 model. What are peoples opinions when it come to pillion's on the R1. At the moment the wife can only last half an hour on the ninja due to the brick of a back seat. She only comes on the back occasionally but is quite important she is a little comfortable. Thanks in advance Phil

Hi folks, I was trying to create an album of pics for my bike but it gets to the "choose an album" screen and none of the 2 choices that comes up are clickable. Is this a function only for paying members? cheers Pato

hi i have a fzr 600r model 4jh what i would like to know would a fairing from a 3he fit my model or would a 1000 cc fit a 600 cc as i am finding it hard to find parts for a fzr 600r any help would be good thanks drayman

well I have finally done it, after threatening to do it for 30 years. I have sold my car and bought my first motorbike. I picked up my YBR 125 Custom last week and have clocked up nearly 300 miles riding around town and going to work. I am not pretending to be 'a biker' (just yet) but I am enjoying every mile. Theory test and practical next and a big learning curve in how the mechanics work on a two wheeler. the experience of riding a motorcycle is living up to my expectations - commuting is exciting again!! what am I sorry about?....that I didnt do this 30 years sooner!! will keep you posted

Hi i,m Jim I stay in scotland and my grandson got a pw80 from santa hopefully ber looking for tips to get it running better than it is any advice greatfully accepted

Hello, my name is jon-paul and i have recently bought a 1996 Yamaha TTR 250 (purple wheel). I have been riding off-road since i was about 14 and had a few of moto-cross/field/trials bikes up until i was around 19 including DT 50 and 80, Suzuki RM 125, TY 175. now 33, I never passed my bike test when i should have done back in my younger days when it sounded like a wheelie and skid was enough to get your ticket! or so they tell me any way! My main point of coming on here was to ask about tyres and the choices I have as far as getting a on-road/off-road compromise, 18 x 110 x 100 full nobble are on it now. Thanks JP

Hi guys, I've relegated myself to the noobs section because I introduced myself months ago and only posted on 'proper' topics a couple of times although I must add that I've got my lovely girlfriend on to two wheels in the mean time! I'll try harder this time and so hello and here's to the smashing weather of the long weekend just gone! (for us in Lincolnshire anyway!)

Just got signed up on here and wanted to say hi from Nebraska USA, 2008 Stratoliner S owner and shade tree mechanic. Thanks for providing a nice place to visit.
