I have just purchased my first bike, a Yamaha XJ550 Maxim (1981 yr). It is missing all its carburettors. I am having difficult in finding Yamaha carbs as replacement. Can anyone recommend how I go about buying a new set of carbs and how I tell which sets would fit the bike? Thanks

Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself. Just bought an 82' XS 250 not starting so will be asking lots of questions soon. Once I get it running I hope to clean it up and get it into some sort of reasonable shape. My first ever bike was a XS 500 and that was 30 years ago, so just dipping my feet into the water again as regards bikes. Cheers.

Errr Hello signed up 10 nugget member for a year 😀 My Yamaha is a 1990 R1-Z250 ypvs a complete nutter bastard bike that delivers big smiles

Hi folks, Thought I'd introduce myself as a new member. I'm living in Cornwall and just settling in for a winter season with the bike in the workshop again. I've a 1973 TX500 with a Cafe Racer look. I renewed the electrics last winter, fitting one of those fancy Moto gadget black box things. This year I'm going to attempt to fix some mechanical problems like balancer chain and carb rebuild. Hope to find a wealth of knowledge here to help me and pass on any information I've learnt myself. Thanks.

Good Morning Jed here, newbie from Ballina in Co Mayo (but originally from Maidenhead in Berkshire UK) Rebuilding a bunch of 70's two strokes, KH400 and YZ80's and looking for help/parts etc I'm looking forward to getting to know the site and members

Hello, I'm riding a 2001 Vstar 650 classic.

Hi. I'm new here. I just got a 1978 Yamaha DT125E that I know nothing about. I plan on doing lots of research here. Thanks.

Hi, just joined the Y O C , used to have British bikes, mainly Norton but they are just so expensive now. Bought a couple of very rough old xs250 s, looking forward to sorting them out so I'll probably be looking for parts and advice. Take care all.

Morning everyone, Just in the process of getting back into the bike I had as a kid, Yammy rd50mx. I had a 1/4 share of a bike with 3 other mates as only one of us was allowed to have a bike haha. So now have a 1984 black bike as a small project as the money is doing nothing in the bank and the bike will be more fun for a while. Hopefully there will be a Rd50 owners meet somewhere in North Wales at some point. Cheers for now Mark

I’ve picked up a Diversion XJ-F with 17k on the clock. The Divvy was looking a bit rough, a bit neglected and in sore need of some pennies invested. All is done and I have a very smart looking bike, a quick check online reveals I have a boring commuter bike only worthy of a few trips down the bypass and nothing more! I am amazed because I only use bikes for fun and only travel straight roads if no other routes are available and this little Yamaha does not disappoint! Admittedly it needs a little encouragement but keep the motor between 7k and the limiter and she pops along very nicely indeed. The front brake needs a good pull but the rear is great and the gearbox is super…

Hi I’m new to biking let alone Yamaha 😬😬. I started on a Yamaha ys 125, I’ve now passed and bought ( Thro sound advice from a bike enthusiast colleague ) an 18 year old immaculate Yamaha FZS 600 with lots of extras on it. I’m using a motorbike now purely for commuting to a new job, that has ever tool I will ever need on site, so no longer need to use a family minibus ( 6 kids and we foster 😳😳) there are a couple of things that make me a little uneasy as a new rider, im not the tallest guy in the world, and whilst im not at full tiptoe, I would prefer to have my feet flat on the ground. I put my left foot down the other day and happened to be in a dip compared to the…

Hi all, Currently in the later stages of my first build, turning an XS250 into a street tracker. Hoping all the knowledge on here will help me get the thing running after scratching my head for the last month as to why it won’t start. Thanks Paul

Just joined yesterday! I only have a YBR 12cc Custom, but I love it. Could do with a 600cc, at least! That is all for now! Wishing you all well! Cheers, Ray

Hi I'm from North Wales. Bike mad. I have 3 of them. CBR900RR, DT175MX and RD350LC II YPVS. Hobbies are spannering the bikes, riding the bikes, reading about bikes. Oh I'm an electrician too!

Hi guys, newbie from Cardiff 😉 Interested in dt125lc's

Hi, I have just taken on my first project, a 1978 Yamaha DT175 which needs some attention. Managed to get the engine running. VID-20210815-WA0001.mp4 I ride a XT660z on many adventures around SA and have also got a 2006 WR250 which is somewhat underused. Looking forward to sharing info on the forum

Hi guys, js bought a little drastar 125 for my mrs as she liked it, i could really do with a workshop manual for it if anyone could point me in the right direction

Hi, Currently not a yam owner ( I did have a XJ6 many years ago though). I have been looking at a Virago that has come up for sale. I live in Cheshire and ride out to Wales etc. However a quick google has flagged up a potentially big problem in that some electronic device (CDC or something) fails with age and once it fails you have no choice but to scrap it off, can this be right? Thanks in anticipation, Ian

Good Afternoon, Just come to say hello , I'm riding a XJ6 F from 2011 in Gloucestershire area and looking for others to ride with 😀
