Howdy all. I live in a little town in south Texas called Boerne. I just bought my first Yamaha, a 93 FJ1200 that has been parked for six years. It is very clean with only 15K miles, of course, the battery was dead so I couldn’t test the electrics, but the clutch And brakes seemed to work good and it shifted smoothly. Now I bought a new battery and installed it. All the lights work, turn signals, brake lights, instrument panel lights, etc, but when I hit the starter button, nothing. No clicking or any noise, just silence. It was in neutral, clutch pulled in, on the side stand. I checked all the fuses under the seat and all are good. What else can I check to see why the sta…

My Name is Jamie and just climbed back on a bike after a 3 year absence. I ride all year round and it always makes me smile no matter the weather and considering i live mid west Wales the weather is usually crap. I ride a 2009 XJ6N which I'm always trying to find 7th gear on but it's quite fun in the back roads but still trying to get used to the bike. This is my first Yamaha since i started riding on the roads 22 years ago, my last bike was a 1996 Triumph 900 Daytona which died with a 148000 miles on it, I only put 52000 on it lol. I will probably end up picking brains at some point as this is the newest bike i have owned and the first fuel injected …

She is wearin Avon ST tyres a…

Hi, I've joined the forum as I've gained a lot from the VW forum club 80-90 for my T3 van in the past and thought this might be the way forward with my new purchase. I've been off the motorbikes for a few years after being stupid on sports bikes for to long and getting away with it. So the new deal is I restore a 'sensible' vintage bike for fair weather transport. I'm in Manchester UK and have a 1975 XS500B which I bought on eBay as boxes of bits (2 bikes) on eBay. I'm on the way with it and should have the engine complete and back in by the weekend. I foresee the problems being the obvious things, so it would be great to hear from any owners or anyone that has …

Just purchased my first bike (Yamaha SR125 1999) and absolutely loving it so far! I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to motorcycles so i figured this would be a great place to join and speak to the Experts! Hope you are all well D

Hey guys just saying hi from Adelaide in South Australia. My name is Sam Taylor. I’m real new the bike world (although been interested for many years). Just got my L plates and bought myself a 2013 Yamaha xvs650 Classic. I absolutely love it. Completely standard at the mo but planning on playing with it a little over the coming years. If there are any like minded peeps in adelaide or anyone keen for a ride hit us up. Stay safe Cheers, Sam

Hi I'm Paddy, I have a Diversion XJ600S from 1998 (R reg) a week ago it broke down as if it had run out of fuel, slowly running out of revs and effort. It has compression of 150psi on each cylinder, a new fuel pump that is connected right, lovely bright blue sparks from new plugs, twice cleaned carbs and when I fire her by pouring fuel straight into the carbs does a lovely clean and even sounding roar, then dies! All fuses ok, all electrical connections ok. New yellow top battery. Fuel tank cleaned out and all filters checked. It has had a mayonnaise winter problem before but always runs fine after cleaning out its lines. Any ideas folks? I'm running out of them! Cheers.

Hello, recently bought my first yamaha. It's a 75 dt 125 and had a couple questions so I thought I'd join here to get help.

Thank you for accepting me. My name is Kenny and I have a Yamaha fazer 600. Hope to learn lots about the bike here as I have not had the bike long and never had a Yamaha before. Thank you

Hi, Svenoftog here, I owned a couple of 350lc's years ago. Have now bought the basic bits of a special. Single sided NC24 rear end., with a ypvs motor. Have found a very faint frame number - looks like 4L1 301558. Any ideas how I can enhance it to read it better?
