Hi all i'm new to the forum. lots of questions to come.

Hi, I have just purchased a 1979 RS125DX (Peter Pan Syndrome). Great site and cheers in advance of any advice!! Matt (Bedfordshire)

Hi Guys I hope you don't mind but I've never owned a Yamaha before. Been riding dual sport bikes, a Honda XR650L and a Transalp 700. Both fantastic bikes. Unfortunately, I just don't seem to be getting enough DS riding done and whenever I do get together with mates, it's with my street riding mates. I then end up using my Dual purpose bike more on tar than sand. So I'm in the market for a road bike and with a limited budget R60k-ish, I want some advice on a Fazer 1000. So here I am ! Thanks

Hello guys! Name's Andrew, and I just got my MT-125. VERY keen in tagging along on any trips that might be happening in the general area of London, just as long as I don't hold everyone behind.

Hi guys. Completely new to forums. I have purchased my first bike. I have gone for the Yamaha XJ6F ABS 2011. Absolutely love it up to now. The only thing I am not over the moon about is the stock exhaust which I'm sure you have heard 50 million times before! Looking at full systems. Ixil XY9355XB to be specific. Its SO rare to find. And can't find it under £500. Anybody got any advice or other recommendations? Would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Pri

Hi my name is barry and im just in the process of building a 1988 dtr125 barn find so im sure i will be asking lots of questions as im a complete novice thanks

Just a quick Hello. Hoping I can get a little help here and there to learn a bit more about Yamaha's, so I will apologise now for asking stupid questions and sounding like a complete spanner. But as my dear old Dad used to say "if you don't ask you may never know, and is easier to look stupid for 5 minuets than 5 years". Cheers, Ratchet

Hi im danny,i own a 1990 yamaha dtr 125 glad to have joined

Hi i have a 1990 yamaha dtr 125 rides and accelarates great but gets to about 70mph at about 8 -8500 rpm then will not go anywhere and the engine is absolutley screaming,ive looked behind the clocks for the 'reed switch' rev limiter? And there isnt one there also looked for the 'black wire with green stripe' to eath behind clocks and cannot locate this either do the 1990 models have a restricted cdi or any different restrictions? i have a full dep exhaust system on it any help would be much appreciated tried looking on dtr.net but it just redirects me to google pages thanks in advance guys happy riding .danny

Afternoon hows it all going. I have just got rid of my 125cc scooter which I had for 4 years and have now purchased Yamaha Diversion F which is my first proper bike and I love it. Thanks D

Hi, I'm Derek. Currently working in Sierra Leone where I'm restoring a XTZ 125. Good to be part of the group.

Just wanted to write a little introduction for you all. My names josh and last year I purchased my first bike; an xvs 650. I made a large amount of progress and had just begun to hardtail and convert it to single back bone. However unfortunately it burnt down along with all my equipment. So now I have begun the task of rebuilding it from the ashes. My engine is going off for powder blasting this week and I'm going to continue on the frame. Unfortunately a lot of my parts were destroyed or crushed by the rood of the building it was in so I need a little bit of help finding a rear wheel and any information of what other front ends fit. I will post in the proper sectio…

Hi guys, I've just recently bought a second hand ybr125 and id really appreciate all the help I can get! Cheers, Louis

Hi there people. Does anyone know if a gear peg/lever from a 2002 Yamaha YZ would fit onto a 2002 Yamaha dt125r as I keep missing gears with my wulf boots on and it's a shame I cannot wear them as I paid over £100 for them and due to them being chunky ive had a couple of very hairy moments because of missing gears etc. I would love if someone could help me with my problem. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, folks! I'm Justin, I live in Arlington, Texas (between Dallas and Fort Worth). I just bought my first bike of all time, a 1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca, and I absolutely love it, but it does need some work. I know limited car mechanics, but damn near nothing about bikes. This is a whole different world for me, so I'm here to dive in, learn as much as I can, and hopefully fix this thing up a little bit over time. I'd post pics, but my phone crashed on Friday. Haha anyway, good to meet you!

Hi, I joined back in 2014 when I bought a Yamaha fzr to do up. I parted with it being an import and needing numerous parts. I have been rebuilding other bikes one of which is a Bros, 2 years later and its a bike rather than boxes of rusty bits. Today I bought a virago XV250, again in boxes of bits and looking like mission impossible. I'm going to start a build/ project thread but please be warned, this will take some time to build. Not only is it a complete mess and missing parts but I do this in my spare time as well as running my business. Didn't get to chat to many last time but hopefully I will get to know a few of you over time. I'll get some pictures over the next c…
