    Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself before jumping right in. I am very much a noob at the moment but am hugely enjoying riding. Both my Father and Brother ride so it was only a matter of time before I did. I currently have a Yamaha YBR 125 and plan to have it for a year or so before doing my full bike test. So yeah, hello and look forward to getting involved.

    How is everyone? I have a 2005 Yamaha 650 V-Star and just finished putting in a new battery. I don't know if I am in right place to ask this question but my bike won't start untless I have the throttle pulled out. Now it will start if I am holding down the start button and revving it up at the same time. If I let go of the revving part, the bike dies. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi all, I've been a lurker for a while so thought I should say hello, I'm currently in my purgatory year on a 125 before being able to ride something larger. The new 125's left me a little cold so after a bit of research I settled on a DT125MX and found one that needed a few little things finishing off. Plan was always to get shot of it but have decided to keep it, silencer hanger bolt thought 50mph was a good speed to fail and sent the silencer skipping down the road at the weekend but I guess that comes with the territory! Thanks, Ben

    Hi my name is ryan im 26 and live in shropshire. ive owned a dt125 for a few months and so far its been a barrel of laughs just in the middle of giving it a bit of a revamp ready for some enduro. I dont live that far from the long mynd so plenty of offroad fun Well what can i say i love anything to do with engines normally car engines but starting to tinker around with bikes cant get enough of the 2 stroke smell you cant beat it lol and nothing beats a mint reliable engine. grammer isn't my strong point as ya can probly tell. my other intrests are blasting around on ramps on my kona shred (bicycle) hahaa also you will catch me on the xbox 360 whizzin…

    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.

    Hello everyone, My name is John I live just outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I've wanted a motorcycle all my life. Now at 32 years old I got one!! I picked up a 1982 xs400rj. It needs a little TLC before its road ready and i plan on doing most of the work myself. With the help of a few friends and the local Yamaha dealer of course. I've heard it's a nice little easy starter bike to work on..Am I way off??!! Thanks All!! Johnny

    Hi everyone, My name is Dave. I'm 33 and currently feel like i'm 17 because i'm about to realise a dream i've had since then. I'm about to start my Direct Access and get my full bike licence, and in preparation for this i bought an 92' XJ600 Diversion last weekend! maybe premature but to me its motivation because while its sat staring at me, it makes me want to ride it! Before posting this i have had good look around the forums and i'm glad ive joined. once ive figured out how to work everything i'll put up some pictures of my bike for those that are interested. I'd also like to apologize in advance if am inadvertently rude or dont observe the correct ettiquette,…

    I have a 1980 sx850 special. I just picked this one up. I had the exact same bike two years ago color and everything. I loved it. The only major problem I'm having is 2nd gear. When I'm on the throttle in 2nd it bangs/ slips out,, in and out with a big slam/ bang. Doesn't happen when downshifting , slowing down no throttle. .??
