Hello, my name is Michael and i just received a 1981 Yamaha 550 Seca from my grandpa.I got excitied and got it back home by myself with the chain and rear tire locked up. Once inside the garage I started to clean it up and noticed there were no spark plugs. After letting the motor sit with several different rust breaking oils for months. The motor never did come unceased. I have since tore the engine apart and thr cylinder walls are heavlly pitted. After takking with some people it was brought up to have it bored to the next size, 650, but after posting a subject in this forum it would cost less just to get a new cylinder head. The next question that has been brought up t…

just got one of these and was wondering if a xj600 pre diversion motad exhaust would fit without too much modification?

Revived this machine of my youth. It had been sitting in the back of my dad's farm shop for 27 years. Got a new carb. Got Fire. And then after some adjustments and some parts found online at ebay and mrcycleparts.com, it runs like the mean machine of old. I do have some clutch slippage when I get on it hard and don't seem to have fifth gear. I have read about an adjustment for the automatic clutches, but can't seem to find how much to adjust, where the bolt is located , and how tight to tighten it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marc Decker Hutto, TX

Hi recently bought a 1985 DT 125 in fairly good condition for my son. No leaks, starts first time on kick. however the problem comes in when riding its not idling properly and when reaching high revs it seem to cutout. 2 questions really; Is it compression related? Is it carb related, if Carb, how does one get instructions on setting the carb appropriately. Help

Hi all, First time on a forum. Thought someone with more knowledge than me could help. I'm currently trying to get my xj600 up and running and back on the road. It's been sat in a shed for 10months. Now I got it started yesterday, and it runs just like it did before. However, I had to remove the front sprocket as even with the clutch in the sprocket still span round and would make the rear wheel spin. Does anyone know what would cause this issue? I road it once about a month ago and couldn't get it out of 3rd gear and then it just started going on it's own even with the clutch in. So I took the clutch out put new oil in and cleaned the plates. But s…

Hi guys! I just bought a 1980 YB100. Its my first Yamaha, all my previous bikes have been Hondas. I'm living in Malta but originally from Ireland. Bought the YB a a run-around for the island but the more I ride it the more its age is showing. Of course that might mean a restoration is on the way! A mechanical one at least... This is the 2nd 2-stroke I've owned but I didnt do much work on the 1st one so this is really a new beginning for me! Looking forward to chatting with ye on the forum.
