Hi, new to the forum, just got an Aerox yq50 for me and my daughter her start to biking and the begining of my return!

Hi guys, Got my first Yamaha a few months back, a 1982 DT 125 MX. Its going to be a project, right now its a bit of a moody bike when it comes to starting up. Super good fun to ride though. Looking forward to working on it, could use all the knowledge I can get from you guys Thanks in advance, Ed.

I've had my YBR 250 for about a year now. Have had a few Yamaha over the years. Including: 86' SRX 600 (a donkey when it comes to kick-starting, but a really fun bike to ride), 82' XS 400 (old reliable....rode it for 10 years....5 days a week...rain or shine...not a single hiccup)

Hey fellas, I'll start by saying I've had a lot of bikes of bikes over the years, mostly all off road bikes. Some of those include 98 Honda Cr125, 93 Yamaha YZ125, 81 Honda ATC70, 85 Honda ATC185s, 85 Honda 250 big red, 85 Kawasaki KXT250 Tecate, 69 Norton Commando 750, and my newest 80 Yamaha sr250. As you can see I have a thing for trikes, never got my hands on a tri-z though...I currently only have the Tecate(my baby) and the sr250. Growing up on Long Island I spent a lot of time riding off road, I have pretty strong mechanical skills and I consider myself to be really good with electrical work, so I hope I can be helpful to the forum. Anyway, I just picked up this…

Hi everyone, im Scott, im 35 and ive just recently passed my C.B.T. Ive bought a ybr 125 as my first bike. Would love to hear from experienced riders or any rider in fact as im new to all this. lool

Hi Everyone, I'm Costas fron Athens (Greece) and recently sold my suzuki gsf 650, k8 because i'm in love with the new xsr 700. A Yamaha dealer here in Greece told me that the model will come in December.....

Hi all. I am new to bikes, so can anybody tell me what the rubber hose connecting the engine to the exhaust is actually there for. I have been told that if I want my bike to make noise I can take that hose off because it will do no damage if it is not connected.

Hello I'm excited to join this website to talk to other yamaha owners for insight from more experieced owners. I am 18 years old and bought my first bike almost a year ago, a 1986 XT350. Once again I'd like to say its nice to know I can gain insight on my bike and other Yamahas on these forums.

Hi all, I have recently joined this group. I have ridden bikes since I was 16. I'm 66 now so a few years there. I also rode bikes for a living when I was with the Old Bill it was like being paid for a hobby. I live in Devon and since retiring I enjoy the coast roads of Devon & Cornwall. I now have a Yamaha FJR 1300AS. I also ride for Devon Freewheelers otherwise knows as Bloodbikes delivering urgent blood etc around the county.

Hi to all i have just brought a dt50 mx for my first bike. Am restoring with my dad, we have done the compleat strip down ready to paint frame and swing arm. Swing arm has very bad tin worm dose any body have one for sale or know of one ? Thanks EJ

Good morning all. I have a XJ900 pre Divvy (85) which I am in the process of putting back on the road. I live in Hyde, East of Manchester, if there's anyone out there up for meets, swapping ideas etc etc would love to hear from you.

Hi new member to this forum and bikes.. the crazy thing is i found a cheap 1992 XJ600 Seca II, which i think i will try and get running. The bike is complete and rolling as 1 though requires a little bit of work (well from what the seller said). I brought the bike and silly me did not hear it running (yes now i know that could be a bad thing) as the seller did not have a battery but did say it had a stater issue. The rest of the bike is there so i thought great fix that clean up the bike get my licence for the bike and ride, once comfortable clean it up and make it a better bike... So here i am.. looking forward of learning how to get this bike fixed.. 1st job is to g…

Just joined. My first love is my XJR1300 (1999) which I bought as a bit of a shed about 4 years ago. I stripped it right down and restored it to original condition. I like standard!!! She is sitting with 57k on the clock now but still runs lovely and I can not bring myself to move it on. Its probably looking like a keeper. Just bought a FZS600 Fazer W reg but looks like a year 2000 model and its an import. Its been sitting unloved and unused outside for a couple of year after it shed its chain. Collecting bits and pieces together at the moment to get it on the road. Intention was to use it as a hack or rat during winter and general usage and save the XJR for sunny days!!…

Just wanna say hi to everyone as I've just joined this site after purchasing a 1992 Yamaha Diversion XJ600 after passing my motorbike test only last month and having a quick seat on my work mates Diversion and found out it was a comfortable riding position. So now I've got my bike, I'm just in the process of chaining the chain and sprockets, putting some auxiliary power sockets, some heated grips, the power lead to my battery opitimiser and heated gloves and vest. I wanna get the bike in a touring mode as in November a mate and myself are off to Birmingham NEC for the motorbike live show and if that goes well then off to he south of France next year.

Howdy. I got Betsy 3 years old 180 miles US import. Bought her cos I have a gammy leg and needed summat low. Love her to bits. Now the newness has worn off I am enjoying the odd fettle. Ben

Recently came across a 1975 mx 175. It has been stored in a garage and has not been started for 15 years. Overall condition is pretty good. I'm going through cleaning and poking around and have ordered a manual and a new air filter (as the old one disintegrated upon removal). Fuel tank was empty and in excellent condition. Oils will be drained and filled with fresh stock. Would greatly appreciate any input as to what else needs to be done prior to start up. I have just enough mechanical ability to be dangerous, and look forward to spending time on this new project. look forward to your replies. Cheers Tom
