New Members Welcome Area

Hi, Just like to say hello to all members,i joined the club tonight,iam not a biker anymore but i still like to fettle a bit. I have a YDS7( 1972) on the go at the presant time. I have had about 20 odd bikes in the past, i am 75 this September but hope to keep fettling for a few more years yet.

i have bought a top box but cant find a rack to put it on, i have a yamaha sr125 can any1 help??

i put 96 dt125 head and piston on my 01 dt125 bike and has no power low down would crab setting need to be changed or powervale?

In 2000 i had just purchased the Suzuki GSXR 600 Alstare Corona. I kept it for a year before thinking, this things going to kill me ! . I was just turned 40 with 30 years on bikes... yes 30. From a NSU Quickly 50 at 10, Bantam 150 at 12, Starfire 250 at 14. Then 16 and my first provisional license and the immortal Fsie (Fizzy) . A string of bikes followed until the GSXR. I thought its time for something softer and was looking at Bandits but they were everywhere .It was then that i came across this little beauty, the owner had passed away age 32 of a heart attack and his family were moving it on. Long story short that was 2002 and we are still together. She is my Top cat

Hey guys and gals, looking around for a good and popular forum and came across this one. Passed my DAS a few weeks ago and decided on a new R6 as my first bike, delivery in April and can't wait!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Greetings. I'm a first time motorcycle owner and I recently picked up a very used Yamaha XJ650J. Now I'm not a total noob when it comes to mechanics. I'm over 40 and been a mechanic of one kind or another for most of my life. This bike has sat for a few years and wasn't in good running shape so I did some work. I dumped the remaining fuel out of the tank and cleaned the petcock fuel filter (had some bits of rust in there.) Cleaned out the carbs (had lots of very fine rust powder built up in there.) Put in new plugs. Changed out the drive line oil and just changed out the engine/transmission oil and filter. Now the manual says the engine oil should be 3.3 US Quarts (wit…

Hi I have been a member on here since 2008. I have not used the forum much as got side tracked with dedicated forums when restoring my FS1E. anyway I want to track my old Yam TY 125 I bought new in 1984. reg No B882 SEO DVLA says it has not been taxed since 2008. if possible and the bike is still around I may be able to prize it back from the current owner. any help with locating this is appreciated, someone may know who has it. was first registered in Barrow-In-Furness Cumbria if this helps Regards Gary

I live in West Yorkshire and am semi-retired. When I was in my late twenties I proddy raced a 250LC, and Hillclimbed a 350LC along with a 500cc Pantah. Traded my 748 Ducati 12 months ago for a 1982 RD350LC Hybrid (originally German). Has had lots done to it but standard engine, and much lighter than the Duke - I'm 61 and was worried about dropping the 748 when getting my leg over

Hi good people Just signing in as a newby. After having both knees replaced in total,I can no longer bend them enough to handle the BMW1200GT safely or in comfort. Just purchased a new XVS1300, only driven a few miles so far but feels right, comfortable and safe. Just a bit miffed at the lack of noise at the rear end though......any tips to increase the decibals without killing the warrenty would be gratefully received. Regards Tony

Hi im looking for a 92 tzr125 headlight/fairing mount and i cannot find one if anyone know where i can get one would be a great help

I have what I believe is a 1965 YM1. The vin is Y26-29056. If anyone can help identify what this bike is, let me know.

I have a TW125 and what a pin it has been to get a manual so far best I have beeen told is get a A Yamaha SR125 manual as it is close. Mt mate and me stripped and rebuilt it now the gearbox has jammed Back wheel will only turn so far forward so far back, gear selector will not move the ? to change the gear. And my tip is a Dogs testicles one The special tool to hold the clutch we did not have one so all I did was use a Tie down strap (thin and long) go round so far and the hook was secured eventually it tightend up and gripped the inner basket to enable me to undo the nut, as it applied equal pressure and no metal on metal it was safe and cheaper than the specail tool r…

Oh wise ones ov the West, i wonder if anyone could tell me the thickness ov new clutch plates for a TY 175 (Twinshock). im helping a friend who has jus bought it, to get it on the Road/Fleld again and the clutch "felt" (as its not running yet) very "loose" so took the plates out and they look pretty thin (3.3mm) and smell very burnt. Would new plates help or is it maybe the springs? or even the Clutch pushrod bearing (if this model has such a thing, (my old 250 did.)) Thanx all Seana XXX

Hi I'm new to the forum and have a tzr 50cc Spanish import. First registered in the UK in 2000.

Hi all, I've got a TRX850 and I've just bought a ty 50. The ty is a barn find and has been used off road and has had all lights and clock taken off. It's missing the number plate and logbook too. Normally I wouldn't buy a bike like this but it came through a friend as part of a garage clearance. The engine and frame numbers are present and matching. Is there any way I can trace the plate from the frame number? Thanks Jason

Greetings First time caller from South West London. I am hoping that someone might offer their opinion on some new rubber wear for my 1990 R Exup. The bike was off the road betwen 2000 and 2008 and with a bit of TLC from a friend she has been resurrected. Currently she has very old Battleax on. I don't use her very much (she only has 15K from new) and I tend to do nice dry miles in the country so long life wear is not an issue and something grippy would be nice. Also the manual states a 170 rear. She has always had a 180 on since I've owned her which looks better but I'm hoping someone can remind me of the difference. Thanks

Many many years ago I was the proud owner of a DT125R. Now my son has reached the ripe old age of 17 and has asked for a motor bike to get around. I have purchased a 1990 TZR 125 in need of some TLC so I will be on here alot asking for advice. First question I would ask is am I mad? Second question is do any of you know any good suppliers of quality second hand parts. Thanks in advance Steve

Hi there just registered, Does anybody know where i can find the battery cover panel from a tzr125 4dl(italian import) or if the english version would fit? Only just had the whole bike resprayed then on my second trip out on it the panel fell off and i cant find it or any on the web. Any suggestions would be much appriciated. Thanks

HI can anyone please help me, my son has just got a TZR50 and he has got fuel leaking from the overflow on the carb, also when he took the tank off there were 2 pipes one goes to the feed for the carb but cant see if the other needs to go anywhere ? are there any workshop manuals for this bike? sorry to sound vague but i dont have a clue about bikes. kelly

I have had experience riding bikes in the past on my trial ty80, that I will be selling soon as I have grown out of it. I attent full time education in London and am currently studying A levels, in ict English media and physics.
