Hi All, It would appear I have made a school boy error and out my first post up i the wrong forum asking questions without an intro. My names Dan Im from kent. I recently joined the yamaha side of biking when my friend approached me with a sorry for itself non-runing tzr 125 r belgarda the 4DL model and so a trip in a van later and here I am the now proud owner of a yamaha. I have had a couple of bikes over the years nothing flash or special couple 125s and a 400 but this is my first road bike since 2006 when i was involved in quite a serious accident in which i nearly lost the use of my right arm ( thanks mr mondeo driver who was coming towards me on the other side…

Am I allowed to advertise my bike on here or stick to good old e bay? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Received my CBT about two weeks ago. Bought a 2010 YBR 125 Aim to put a few miles on the clock and get experience as never driven a bike before.

Hello everyone!! My serial # on the original title was much shorter than what is stamped on the frame, It took several months of Missouri DMV and Highway Patrol Inspections to get my title back legal, it was the same S/N just not the entire 17 #'s on the frame,l it was just the 1st 7 #'s on the title of the frame stamp! Anyone else have this issue with S/N's ??? 1982 Yamaha xj650j Maxim

G,Day Just posting to announce myself. I'm returning to an everyday rider as a lifestyle choice. Why, who bloody knows, sanity? stupidity? ego? resisting the ageing process? or just flying high on life despite myself. either way i found myself a yamaha fj1100 to resurect as my ride of choice, ( yeah i know what most younger riders think of older bikes.) yet then i grew up on those and know they can outperform my skills so why not. plus if i break it i can fix it. about me....... Nik ---- Doa = Dead on Arrival = live life 100% until it ends. why die wondering if only i did?????? to hell with that im alive now. Name ---- Ian = mum (hated writing maybe…

Hi guys and gals i got me a fairly clean 1979 xs 250, i used to ride RD 250/400 back in the day but a bit too pricey for me, as i've not worked or owned a 4 stroke before i might need some help keeping this nearly 40 year old bike running ok.

My name's Emma, I ride a 2002 fazer 600, have been for 2 yrs or so now, she is my precious, as old as she is- 43k miles bless her! Anyway, i have yet to find anyone locally who has the same appreciation of 2wheeled motor vehicles, so i thought id have a natter with you lovely people...

I have recently purchased a stolen and recovered dtr 125 which is a 2002 model i just use it off-road it ticks over as it should but when i am riding it the bike seems to go really boggy just before it wants to come into the band it eventually does come in but today i had the bikes plastics off and the ypvs isn't connected to anything could this be the reason why it is bogging when I'm riding it ? :/ there is no battery on the bike and i think wires have been removed i haven't had one of these bikes before so apologies for not much info i just wanted to know is there anyway round this problem thanks.

Hi Guys, As you've probably gathered by the username my name's Ben. I'm currently riding a YZF-750 R, which is this summer's project. Complete strip and rebuild to get the beauty back to her best. I'll post some pics of the bike in its current rough state when i get em off my phone and onto my computer for you guys to laugh at. After having a break from yammy's and riding a gsx-r for a while I couldn't believe how good the YZF 750 felt to ride compared to the big fat suzy. Especially because i didn't give a massive amount for the yammy (thank you eBay). Hope to speak to and get to know you guys soon, and any comments for what to look out for with the bike would be muc…

Hi All, New to the forum but have grown up on bikes and helping my dad have fun in the workshops modifying them. His first project bike even featured in the original Mad Max which started life as a z type Kwaka. My dads last project bike has now become my project as he passed away in May this year. It's a 92 Yamaha YZF750 rear frame with a 03 R1 front end and the plan is to turn it into a tribute bike in the end. I have a 1040 hybrid motor for it so when it's finished it should be a beast. I'll start a build thread when I get started on it if someone can point me in the right direction and all feed back is welcome be it good or bad. Dads dream wil…

Hi All, I am no biker ! But my son who is 17 is... well was up until yesterday. In April I bought him a 2012 125 yzf R something ! Anyway yesterday he crashed it but only on tarmac and was not too badly hurt thank god. Its going to cost me 1500 just to get the bike rideable with out having the cosmetic stuff done. Dealership is offering me 200.00 scrap its only done 6000 miles and I paid cash for it 4,300 4 months ago. I can't afford to fix it . What do I do Oh and its only 3rd party insurance...the bile is not under any claims or finance Thanks Jen PS just to be on the safe side i put it on ebay for 24 hours at £300

Hi, I’m in the process of buying an mt-01 beast. I downgraded from a triumph street triple to a honda msx (grom) 125 two years ago when we had our second child. it was a blast to be honest, I even did a 2000mi tour on it, but now I got the need from something slightly bigger Not sure if there’s a whole lot of mt-01 owners in here but maybe you’ll accept me anyway

Hi Chaps I am currently riding my dad's old Tiger 955i, but am looking at upgrading soon to a Yamaha. Jon

Soon to be proud owner of a new V-Star 950 Tourer bike. I have an opportunity to purchase a "new" 2009 model. I have been told that the 2009 is the same as the 2011 model. Is this true? Thanks and looking foward to being a new member. John

SORRY if I offended anyone with my help me message as first post, am a first time user to a forum. I have a xj600s as my first bike at 30 after 5 years of mrs saying no! Living in port talbot and love the moto gp (stoner Is king! ) I'm not a glory grabber and have liked him since He Was rinding ( or should I say falling off) the honda first time round. One more thing, "COME ON THE SWANS" now in top flight football.
