Just purchased my 1st bike in a long time. Was a rider 6 years ago on a Hyosung GT125R but to no fault of my own had a severe accident which knocked my confidence for many years. I have just re-past my CBT and bought a Yamaha MT-125 whilst I get booked in for my full bike license. At the prime age of 36 I now feel more confident than I did before. so thanks for having me here, and I’ll update with my progress as and when I can.

Hello all. New member with a new to me 2013 Vstar 650 Custom. Older guy with a 98 Gold wing Gl1500 that I am converting to a trike. Still wanted to stay on 2 wheels sometimes and I am thrilled with my Vstar that I've put about 500 miles on in the 5 weeks I've owned it.

Hello all new to the Yamaha bikes. I just purchased a very nice 78 dt400e my questions are how do I check to make sure the oil injection is working correctly and what oil and fuel is recommended thanks in advance for any help. Robert

Hello, live on the south coast and restoring a yamaha dt125r, 1988. Owned for 13 years and nearly finished but would like better panels than I have. Although an 88 model is fitted with raspberry red bodywork and the colour change was registered with the DVLA in 1991 so would like to keep the same. Would very much appreciate any links or advice to source what I need, exhausted all other avenues (ebay, fowlers, cmsl, yambits, etc,etc) Have been thorough in the rebuild and top plastic would finish it properly. Thanks Oldman

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…

Hello fellow riders! I've got a 2010 GL1800 that I'm considering selling and replacing with a 2017/2018 FJR1300ES. The Wing at over 1100 lbs is getting to be just a little bit too hard to get up on its centerstand. I recently test drove an FJR and absolutely loved the power, handing and its light weight. Wondering how many of you FJR riders previously owned a Gold Wing. Flat6

Hey all! My name is Adam, and it was my goal this summer to try and get my dad's 78 DT400 running so I could start learning how to ride, and so I could get my M class. Unfortunately, I've run in to a snag and didn't get it running yet, but I'll talk more about that in another post. I'm new to bikes, but I've been messing with cars for a few years. I'm on my third Camaro, which is a 1999 Z28 that I have some big plans for, and I have a 1996 Z71 K1500 that I'm just trying to keep going until I can afford something a little more reliable. I'm new here, but I'm not new to forums, there's a few others that I'm a member on, as well. As the nicer whether comes to a close, I…

Hi I'm Danny, (newbie) from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire ive not had much happen on the bike front for around ten years now, mrs came along then first kid..then second and well you know the rest!! but when my first child was a year old an opportunity came up to buy a bike that I wanted but never could afford when I was younger, I bought and rd 350 f2 i thought it would be a lovely bike to pass on to him when he came of age! The first two years I did get it roadworthy and motd but did very little mileage around 200 miles per year, then my second lad came along and the bike has stood in the garage for the last four years. now I feel the time h…

It was always inevitable that I would end up with another bike but I wasn't expecting it to be so old. So hi I'm Chris. This is my third Yamaha and I hope it'll be my favourite. I've taken a punt on a 79 XS250 which doesn't start so you'll be hearing from me pretty sharpish to get myself back on the road.

Hi Guys, have just joined as I have a problem. Bought a US spec 1983 XS650 SK Heritage Special, and the headlamp appears too wide for the supporting "ears". This means the ears or brackets don't lie flat against the sides of the headlamp bowl, and thus the indicator stems both lean backwards. I've not seen any other XS 650's with this oddity, but there seems to be only one headlamp shell listed, albeit in Chrome or black, but all the same size with 7" glass. Looks like it needs a 6" headlamp, but none listed. Anyone help please?

Hey folks I'm Ben, just purchased this 2012 Yamaha Super Ténére tonight! This is my first bike!! I'm in Phoenix and will be looking to get together and ride with some folks around the end of the month! Also, suggestions, tips for a new rider and anything pertaining to this bike would be much appreciated!!

Hi Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Graham and I have been riding since 1966. I have had many bikes but currently have a BMW K1200RS and a Yamaha XVS 1300 Midnight Star. I live in the depths of Cornwall with some great riding.

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

Hi there - I like to go for the odd day-ride or a foray into Wales, maybe we can join forces? On good roads I normally cruise at 7k revs. 8k only if I get carried away... What's your style? PS: ignore bestofybr, that ID is now redundant.

Hi all, just saying hello! Just purchased a FZR1000 Genesis to complement my ZZR600. Love the 80's bikes. Tjimk the Yam is going to be in fir some serious fettling this winter!
