Hi everyone, Joined as I have a few Yamahas. XVS650S Custom Dragstar trike YBR125 (Sold to my Son but recently stolen) MT-07 Tracer MT-09 Tracer Looking for advice on second hand MT-03 as a friend of mine is interested in getting one. Probably the 660cc version. Cheers - Dave

Hi and thanks for the add. I am 45 and live in Somerset. My riding days are pretty much behind me now so instead i tend to collect 80's 125cc. I have 2x DT125LC mk1 ,DTR125 ,TZR125, AR125, DT50MX and am on the look out for a RD125LC to add to the set. At present I am restoring the DT50MX for my lad to ride when he comes of age, enjoying the memories that are flooding back whilst do this. Anyway that's me folks.

Hello I looked at a 2003 Dragstar 1100 today. Only 10,000 miles with chrome everything, which I dislike but my main concern is the raked out front end. It's a wide glide type conversion. It feels like it wants to drop into corners but it doesn't actually do it. Do you think it's a good bike for 2 up riding medium distances. I'm 97kg and my partner is 60kg. I'm coming from a GSX1400 which handles very well. Hills/mountains and passengers make no difference to the performance or ride. Thanks

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 All, Just a quick hello/introduction! My names Kyle, I'm a petrol head (currently driving a mk6 Fiesta ST, which is my 7th car) and I'm finally getting myself on the road to the world of Biking, I bought my first bike, a Yamaha YBR 125, 08 plate, which i'll be learning on until i'm ready for bigger and better things! I've got my CBT next saturday, so if anyone has any advice for me, it would definitely be welcome! I have been driving for 7 years, but so i'm nearly entirely new to bikes, having only messed around with a 125 in first gear before. I'm looking forward to learning more about getting the most out of having a bike, and hopefully they…

Hello to all, currently restoring 88 dt125r, have owned since 2004 having rescued from a back garden where it had been stood for 7 years. Made roadworthy when I got it and always wanted to rebuild it to its former glory,. Had a medical issue this year that gave me an excuse to get stuck in. Frame powdercoated and rebuilt engine with new piston etc, wheels going to be respoke shortly and brakes need rebuilding so that's on the agenda shortly. Have had white panels fitted prior to restore and have original red bodywork stored but still not a1 condition, so an appeal if anyone has or knows of any red bodywork panels for sale but must be in excellent condition please. …

Just signing into the forum, 50, last bike GPZ900 a long time ago, working on a build for a dt175mx 1981 with my youngest (14), he's keen to learn, lots of bits in boxes at the moment, good frame and most parts look good to go, building the wheels up at the moment, looking forward to it but a bit daunted. I have the schematics but wondered where I might check the tech spec' for the bits and pieces? Anyone passing SWales feel free to nip in for a cuppa with a spanner..:)

Hello, my names Adam, I've not long ago started riding, and my first bike is a 1998 Yamaha SR125. She's brilliant to ride and clearly been well looked after but she has a few problems arising from a newbie riding her, so I'm hoping to get some help on what the cause of the problems could be and get to work fixing her up. I've already started fixing the rust on her but there's still a lot of work to be done there... I'm hoping to move on to an XV950 when i take the big boy tests but until then i look forward to chatting to everyone about this little beauty! Adam.

Hello everyone, just signed up here so thought I'd share a few pics of my latest purchase with you all. It's a 2015 YZF R125 ABS model. Bought it from a dealer in the U.K. With only 1200 miles from new on it. Coming from an RS50 this is a nice upgrade for me.

finally , I'm back on the forum after all this time what the hell is that stupid authenticator thing all about . what a load of bollox.

Hi, well after owning a number of Yamahas over the years I thought it about time I joined the owners club. And the fact the MT owners forum has closed down has spured me on. I'm currently riding an MT 03 (the original 660 single) -and I do have a Guzzi, but that is in the shed of shame waiting for me to mend it...again.

Hi New to biking and new member to the club . Just purchased my first bike after passing my test ,Yamaha Xj6 Diversion F on 64 plate . All the reviews said it was a good first bike ,hopefully all you experienced riders will agree. I have a technical question that you may be able to help me with . My Yamaha doesn't have a gear selector indicator so i have been looking at aftermarket products . There are various on the market that say plug and play via the diagnostic lead for my model . I may be wrong but i don't think my bike has a diagnostic plug the fault codes are indicated as flash codes . i cant find anything in my Haynes manual yet when i email the s…

Hi Peeps. Long time biker, New time Gen 1 Fazer owner. Looking to exchange chat/banter, help with technical queries etc. Poss make a few mates in S/Yorks area. I'm near Barnsley..

Howdy all, My name is Rob, i'm from Ireland. Bought a Yamaha 1999 V-Star 650 Custom in December. First bike (other than a 6 month stint a few years back on a little Hyosung 125 over in Spain) and its taken me a few months to get properly commuting on it. I'm in a great group on Facebook (Bikers of Éire) with about 1200 really helpful bikers but i though i would join one where its more specific to my own make rather than just the banter of slagging everyone off who doesn't ride the same as you Anyway that just a quick intro. Later! -Rob
