My main transport is my bike! I have theory and DAS for my a2 license booked for the end of the month. Fingers crossed I'll be burning those L Plates soon! Looking to sell my Yamaha YBR 125cc. SO let me know if your interested! Will find the Forum for selling and post on there! AND finally looking to upgrade to the Yamaha Xmax 400cc! Nice to meet ya'll Happy Riding!

Greetings Everyone, I'm 35 and from Singapore. Been lurking in these forums for a while and am pretty happy to find that it's quite active and full of informative posts. Got myself a XVS400 Dragstar Classic a week ago and enjoying it so far. Have lots of questions to ask. I am good with a wrench, but have no experience working with bikes. I'll have a lot to learn from the guys here. Ride safe!

Fairly new member here hope to share many miles together.

Hello everyone! I'm Waleed from Pakistan and this is my first post on YOC. i've been going through YOC for a while but only as a visitor so finally decided to make an account. I currently dont own any yamaha bike atm BUT, im building a buggy using a yamaha heart i-e a yamaha rd350 engine. i am basically a noob when it comes to bikes so im beginning to use the platform of YOC to learn about the engine i got.. There are a couple of problems im having with the engine which i'd really appreciate u guys to help me with. I bought the engine in used condition from one of our local markets. It came complete with the radiator, carbs, rectifier (which i lost), and a c…

Hi, new to the biking world. Did my direct access in August this year and promptly went out and got myself an xj6 diversion as it was familiar being the bikes that the school used. Massively happy with it at the moment, used mainly for commuting but will put some mileage on it next year. Looking forward to learning off the masses of experience that is evident on this forum.

Hi everyone just recently bought an 01 Yamaha dt125r and I'm loving it despite a small little problem. Anyway I'm happy I found this forum seems likes good place for banter and help.

I'm back on track after 7 yrs, I have a brand new xj6 and an 1980 xj550 in pieces atm. Thanks for having me. It looks like an amazing place to catch up.

I've joined to try an get some help with my YBR 125... And soon to be in the market for an xt660 if I pass my a2 soon

Hey all. I'm a welder/fabricator, wireman, and... a petrol head like you. I'll probably lurk a bit, chat occasionally and have more questions than answers. I've just been given a DT 125 by a mate who has too many bikes and not enough time. I had a 175 briefly 25 years ago but swapped It for a Montessa. I intend to tart it up a bit, doing bits gradually, when I can, as I have too many bikes not enough time! I'll apologise now for my first question! What year is my bike?

Hi everyone, I'm new to Yamaha ownership and new to riding so I thought I'd check in here and say hi. Mike

Hey everyone. My names Mikey, I'm 21 and live in Coventry. I've been meaning to sign up on here for months to get advice if it was ever needed but only just got round to doing it.. I own a YBR125 14Plate bought last July new. I am looking to pass my test by June and hopefully hop on a bigger machine by Christmas. I have a few ideas and starting my research but any advice would be great

Hi This is Tony, new member - just joined. Bikes: Yamaha YZf R125, Yamaha XVS 125, Honda Forza 125 (for everyday commuting) Have just bought the XVS, lovely bike, not too fast but then you don'#t ride these for speed! 60 is fine for enjoying the countryside. Has anybody on here thought about an exhust upgrade? I was kind of thinking Highway Hawk but wondered what sort of rejetting would be needed? Any thoughts....

Hello YOC! I've just joined this forum in order to help maintain my bike, a 2010 YBR-125. It's my first bike, and although I've already fallen off it once (sorry) I'm keen to keep it in good nick. I've recently passed my CBT and am hoping to go to Direct Access soon, though learning to drive a car may come first to help with some confidence issues. Looking forward to chatting to you all.

Hi all, New member, been riding my 950 midnight date for a year now and have loved every minute. She's not let me down once and has been some of the most enjoyable riding I've done in 15 years riding bikes. Looking forward to to getting to know some of you a little better over the next few months Cheers Richie

Hello all! I'm glad I've found this place, I've been looking for a decent and active yamaha forum for a while! Quick intro I suppose, I'm from Scotland, been on bikes since the ripe old age of 4 and raced for most of my life until I came off the R6 and smashed my shoulder to smithereens. I've since bought an MT-125 (just 3 weeks ago) for the road and the commute to try and satisfy my need for the two wheels. The MT is a cracking bike and I reckon I'll go for the MT-07 once I get round to doing my A2, either that or an XJ-6. Either way, I'm rambling. Nice to meet you all

Hey there, So, i'm Josh, 26 years young, from the UK. I'm relatively new to the bike scene though I've always loved them and have found this Forum to be very useful, so here I am :), as what seems to be very common practice, my first bike is the Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar, slightly customised. Sadly, my baby does require some work in order to get her road worthy, downside of second hand purchases Being a complete novice i'm wanting to be sure before I buy the parts that they will be right, so my question, my rear wheel apparently needs to be replaced due to "cracks in the drum" fair enough, which leads me to the help I need, my bike is the 2001 m…

Hello, my name is Stuart and I'm from bonny Scotland. In 1988 I travelled across Australia on a Yamaha XJ650 and recently bought a similar one. I have the VIN number but only has 9 characters and would like to find out a bit more about the bike. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Back in 1973 I bought an RD250 from the horrid bike dealer Gambier Reeks. I holed a piston and dropped in a 350cc engine rather than repair. The RD I had was the round tank edition with blue paintwork. I was young and naive with no mechanical background (then)... so when the small ends went, regrettably I sold it and bought a 500-4. Later, in 90's I bought an FJ1200 and kept her for 13 years, an awesome bike she ate consumables but was a 'rocket sofa' LOL.... I had several bikes over the years, too many to mention here - eventually I succumbed to getting onto a BMW GSA Adventure - it was stolen and I saw sense decided to be more practical, thoughtfully got an …

Just a "hello"! My name is Tony (as if you couldn't have guessed!) I'm up near Carnforth - top left hand corner of Lancashire. I picked up my Tracer 700 (2020 model, 21 plate) last weekend - and (eventually) found this group. I'm hoping to find lots of useful info here, hopefully relevant to the UK. I've been riding for years - lots of different bikes. The Tracer might be the nearest I've found to suit what I do - fine weather rides around the Lakes and Dales. I'm looking forward to it - when the rain stops! That'll do for now - don't want to bore you all too much!

Hiya all. Just bought an old xv750 yam, (really old 80-83?) Anyone any idea if i can find original reg from frame/engine no's? (which actually match...shock horror!) starts 5g5 which is the early 1 I understand? Not owned a yam for ages, last one was an xs650... Richard
