Hello, My name is Pierre, I am 26 years old and I work in motorcycle field. I study active safety systems for two wheeled vehicles. I just bought a yamaha X max 125 scooter to perform some tests. I am going to add sensors an embedded computer in the vehicle. I come here to get advices from Xmaxer. Thank you, Pm

Hello all, my first time in the YOC forum, in fact my first time in any forum. The last time I rode a bike was about 10 years before the internet had been invented and 20 years before in smartphones. My last bike was a very unreliable GS550 custom. Possibly the worst electrics on a Japanese bike. Before that was a GT500 rattling rice burner - I can't believe they are worth so much money now. I also had an XS500 8 valve for a while, a CB550K4 and my favourite a CB350K4. I decided to buy something small and sedate as I wanted to not be too scared after all this time and in my declining years. How was I supposed to know someone had missed a 0 off the cubic c…

so then hi peeps how many km roughly should get on full tank of petrol on my yamah dt 125 ? Thanks all

Hello ! I'm about to take ownership of my first Yamaha for 20 years - since passing my test on a 1988 TZR 125 (in Camel F1 colours for those of you that can remember that far back !)...in 1995. The 'new' Yamaha is a 2012 X Max 250. Bought for my 50 mile round trip commute to work. I've got an old VFR800 at the moment - but it has too much power, not enough storage and a heavy clutch for the filtering I need to do every day. I've had a Burgman 400 in the past which was a bit cumbersome and heavy - so I'm hoping the X Max should be a bit of a revelation ! Keep safe if you're riding at this time of year - I wimped out on the bike this morning - bike + slush does not …

Hi all. I am a TRX owner of 3 years and absolutely love it.

Hi my name is Richard and I recently acquired a 1987 Yamaha SRX 250 that needs some love. While I'm not new to restoring old vehicles, this is my first project bike. My last project was a supercharged 1988 Toyota MR2 which was my childhood dream car. But back to my bike, I owned an SRX250 in college in 1989 but suffered a severe accident that would keep me off bikes until last year when I bought a KTM RC390. I've always been on the lookout for an SRX250 purely for sentimental reasons and when I came upon one recently that was in fair shape, I jumped at the chance. My plan is to restore it as best as possible with all available parts that I've sourced from eBay and Pa…

just bought a 1991 xt 600 so hopefully will be picking all of your brains trying to keep it on the road !!

Hey all, So after years of wanting to ride, I've finally gone and bought my first bike. A red 2009 Yamaha YBR-125. Having done my CBT a little over 12 months ago, time was ticking down until I'd have to either do my full license or redo the CBT. So I decided I'd pull my finger out, get on the road, and build up my experience in order to prepare for the full license test I aim to take in the next 6 months. The bike is in great condition, however I did snap the gear shifter off due to wearing big thick military boots and being a little too heavy-footed. I've already bought a replacement and I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty this evening and repla…

Hello I have a lovely refurbished 1982 DT175MX in black that was re- built for Trail racing. It is petroil mix and starts very quickly. I have increased the front sprocket by 2 teeth for better road use. I would like to improve the silencing of this special bike can any member help?. If any one lives in NW Kent with a DT175MX it would be good to keep in touch. Regards CRJ

Retired @ 63 from US. I like to show off my '95 250 Virago, so I'll start with it.

I've recently bought a Neos4, so it's only 50cc and I'm limited to 30mph. But I do get 129mpg. Can anyone tell me if the speedometer is accurate? I'm hitting 34mph, but is the speedo set deliberately to read high, am I only doing 30mph when it says 34mph? Thanks Trev.

Hello, New Yamaha owner here, (I'm new the bike isn't) Got myself a little YBR 125 to get from A2B on Based in South Wales UK

Hi. Just bought an XJ600 Diversion 1995 with 20000 miles on. Bought as a winter bike and really impressed with it, really comfortable to ride. Totally different from my other bike which is a Honda Hornet.
