Hi all I am a new member and have just purchased fjr 1300 '01' and want to change the seat for a more comfortable on any suggestions???

I am the proud owner of a 1986 Yamaha Fazer FZX700 and its my first bike. I have ridden dirt bikes before and have always wanted a bike to ride around town and i got one given to me. Presently, its in rough shape but im working on it. Im pretty mechanically inclined but i dont know anything about motorcycles so this is a good test for me. anybody know how to put the gas cap back together on my bike? that thing is giving me a world of trouble. I live in ashland, oregon. I go to Southern Oregon University. If you are from the Rogue Valley and know bikes maybe you could give me a hand. That would be fantastic. anyways, i am gonna try to put it back together so if you h…

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 to all Yamaha owners,I currently own a 2010 Honda Fireblade in the HRC colours.I am wanting to re live my youth and am looking to get hold of a Yamaha RD500LC in excellent condition which i want to restore to original factory condition, but all depending on price.

Hello Wonder if anyone can help me. I live in Lincoln and have an RD500 partially rebuilt. Looking for a contact who can get the bike going for me. The engine has been rebuilt and is in frame. Thats where it stopped for a while. Need an expert who can put carbs on for me, get it going and set it up for me. Does anyone know anybody near me i can take the bike to. happy to pay going rate. many thanks

Greeting to all, I'm a bit of a Yam head and had a few over the years along with Kawasaki's, Suzuki's and of course Honda's but keep coming back to Yamaha. I'll be looking for a good read as I'm always on the look out for info.

Yo, I'm currently running a 96' XTZ 66O Tenere and during a brake overhaul managed to snap off the rear brake calipur bleed nipple (don't even go there, It's back enough that I did it!!) I'm currently searching for a second hand replacement as my attempts to drill/ release/free and remove the remaining stub didn't work and have consequently screwed the calipur and left me with no options but to find a replacement. Can anyone help/point me towards a decent second-hand replacement and thus get the tired and cantankerous old dog (the bike, not me) back on the highway? Regards, The archaeologist.

hi

Hi o/ I'm looking into getting a 125cc bike to try and cut down on how much fuel i'm burning through each week in the daily 65 mile commute to work and back. I've always always wanted a motorbike to call my own and now not only can I get one, but it'll be paying for itself! I've been around a few bike shops and talked to new and veteran bikers in and around Kent, UK, to get a feel of what I should be looking to get both in terms of a decent bike but also the clothing and other extras. I found this website and it looks like it's a great place to hash out ideas on what to do with my bike when I get it. From the stats and the looks I'm 90% set on getting a Yamaha 1…

Hi. I grew up racing in the deserts of Southern California, riding mostly Yamaha & Kawasaki. Older now (49), and ride a 1985 Honda ATC 250R in the sand dunes. Have 2 of them (ATC 250R), a 2008 Honda TRX400, and a 1985 Yamaha BW200 to play around on. Also own a 1972 Yamaha AT2 125 enduro that I'm restoring.
