    Greetings from Poland to everyone I am a member of the polish Yamaha XJ Club and an owner of a Yamaha XJ600S Diversion from 1997. It is my first bike, got it in early 2013. It has some small paint defects but mechanically its perfect I thought that I could learn a bit more from Your forum about my motorcycle and other things.

    New on club. Pretty newbie on bikes. Not so new on this world. Proud owner of old banger DT125 lc. There's also 3 more bikes to dirt my hands with in my garage and by the end of month should be two more. Been fiddling mostly with cars for past 20 years and every thing mechanical has always been interesting. If I had a motto it would be something like "I'll fix it or go insane trying"

  10. Hello YOC! I'm new! A city girl living in the city who finally got a bike (almost 2 yrs now). I'm fairly new to riding and don't get to ride as much as I'd like. Most of my friends & fam are completely shocked by my purchase & that I dare mount my V-Star Classic (XVS650), let alone ride the mean streets by my lonesome. But I'm just different, I'm all about learning & getting my well manicured nails dirty to build, repair & not visit the mechanic unless necessary. Most on-lookers in my neighborhood are constantly surprised when I change from my business wear (normally a dress/suit & heels) to don riding boots, leather jacket, helmet & glov…

    Hi guys, I've just rescued / been given, an '89 Radian, thats gonna need some love and parts....and lots of time. I know these weren't official imports to the UK, but as they're supposedly a parts bin special, I'm hoping there's a chance there's some other potential donor from the range around the same period. Not too fussed about 'originality. Petrol tank is main priority, which will probably require different seat, side trim panels ? ...or...theres the remains of one in a breakers someplace ? Cheers SS

    Hi all I'm new to this forum and found my way here via an article in Practical Sportsbike magazine. I've been riding since '94 ('93 if you count the honda moped) when I bought an RXS100 off a friend. I passed my test on that in '95 and bought a TZR125L in september of that year. In '98 I bought a Honda but was back with Yamaha again in 2000 when I bought a Thundercat, which I owned for 8 years and done a lot to and put a few miles on. 2008 saw me sell the 'Cat and buy a 955i, but 2010 saw in the Thunderace which I have today. Other hobbies include Radio control cars and helicopters. Recently moved so DIY is also on that list. No need to be gentle wi…
