Hi there - North East Yam owner ... Any rise outs going on ?

Hello!! Im new to this site. Just got an XJ6 2010 ABS, ive had a yamaha before but it was a few years ago and it was a TW125! Just got the Yam after a crash I had last year, screwed up my wrist for a year but i think im back in the game! Haha! Cheers. Kate.

hello i am chris reed from crook co.durham.. i have a dt125 re 0n 54 plate and i am having a few problems with it.. there seems to be a permanent live.. the ignition lights and head lights are on all the time even if i take the key out.. the bike will not start if i remove the key but it dose start if i put it in the off position . the bike will bump start and will start from another battery with jump leads..the battery is goosed i think as it only hold enough charge to power the lights it will not start it.. also when i am using the bike it will start to splutter and loose power sometimes it just conks out.. any help or comments would be much appreciated

Hello everybody I'm Alistair. I have just bought a TZR125 doer upper. This is my first foray into the world of the 2 stroke since I was 16 (41 years ago) so I'm quite looking forward to it. I have lost count of the number of bikes I have restored over the years so it's going ti be interesting learning something new. I have no doubt tha I will be calling on the membership here for help and advice. Let the good times roll! Regards, Alistair.

Hi me handle is charlyfarly just joined your forum tonight , am needing a wee bit of info regarding an engine change from an XV750 1995 to an older XV1100 1990 both engines look identical also the 1100 goes strait in the wireing is all the same in colour and connections till you come to the pick up cable that operates the spark from the fly wheel to the cdi unit , what i need to know is will the pick up from the 750 fit the 1100 and if i did this by removeing the pick up from the 1100 and possible flywheel and changed them from my 750 will it work ok do you know . many than…

Hello everyone My name is Rob. Iv just passed my CBT and Iv managed to buy a Yamaha XVS Dragstar. I can honestly say its a gorgeous ride. I had such a time trying to get my first bike and without going into details Im glad that my troubles led to this bike. I am new to all this and I fully intend on learning the ins and outs of my bike. So nice to meet you all.

Hi fellow bike fanatics. I am a new member, im 20 from essex in england! I am in trouble with my bike at the moment.. the engine on my Yamaha dt 125R 2004 seems to have siezed up. The enginge wont turn over even with a bumpstart, the back wheel stays locked. Is there any other way to test if the engine is siezed? I think I may need to take the engine off so I can send it away to be fixed, a full enginge rebuild is available on eBay for 300pounds. Any help or diagrams or step by step to taking the engine off.. I have all the tools etc.. Thanks!

Hello, My name is Val and I've just got YBR 125 for my commuting :-) I am kind of born again biker my last bike 30 years ago was two stroke MZ 350. cheers Val

hi all I'm katt and I recently got two aerox 50s as projects

just picked up a sweet 82 maxim 650, runs like a wet dream! only one issue, after she warms up(after 10 miles or so) when stopped it will idle high, between 2500 and 3000 rpms. the rubber between my carbs and my block are dry rotted and cracking. im figureing this to be my problem. they want $200+ for the new rubber, which i dont get i paid less for the rubber on the tires. but is there an easy cheap fix for this? or does anyone know any cheap parts shop? and finally what is the name of that piece of rubber?

hi my names andy im 19, i've only really worked on ped engines before but now i got myself a dt 125 to learn and do my full test on and to tinker around with the engine abit then hopefully upgrade to a wr 250 or 450 not sure yet

Hoping to find some answers to some questions on here..
