New Members Welcome Area

Hi my name is Alex I would like to apologize for my abrupt entry into the forum. Not many forums are real communities nowadays so this is refreshing. I have always liked and wanted a early DT bike. I am a designer myself and really love their early styling. I finally managed to get one last week. It is a 1974 yamaha dt 175 in pretty good condition, it hasn't been modded and everything is a bit old but original. I have lots of questions and would also like to know if there are people in the area with similar bikes This is my bike as i got it last week Cheers Alex

Hi my names james or j thanks for letting me join just past my cbt and currently riding a ybr 125 just thought id give a quick post. [emoji1]

Hello All, I was recently gifted a 1980 DT175 that's been sitting for some time, and am now in the process of getting it road worthy again. I've found lots of great information on this site, and am joining up to ask questions and contribute where I can. So far it's been an awesome resource!

I recently purchased what I believe is a YZF 400, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Is the a site I can enter the serial number to see exactly what I have??? The engine serial number is H308E-007989.

How do I find help for repair of my 2004 YZF600R? It starts, runs ruff and when it warms up it dies and won't start until it cools down. Could use some advise for resolving its problem. Hello to all members, Tim

I have run through every resistance check I can think of and everything checks out good... engine is turning over, just am not getting spark. Replaced CDI, Regulator/Rectifier, sidestand safety switch diode, plugs. Resistances good from stator, pick up coil, and to coild. Please help

hi all im a new member, im in the middle of restoring a DTR 125 for my son

Hi guys my name is mitchell but you can just call me mitch. I am nearing my 2nd full year of riding and have just purchased a dt 125re to hopefully last me another year until i pass my A2 test. Im from north west london and consider myself to be a fairly competent home bred mechanic ;-)

Hi there, my name is gav I have an xvs650 classic. I've run into trouble with it, namely I sent the carbs to our ultrasonic tank at work and they've been misplaced. I can't kick off about it because it was a side job. I bought a spares or repairs set as I have all the internals from the old ones.. But, where the needle comes through to the underside of the carb there is a brass insert missing. My question is do any other carbs fit say from a virago as finding another set is proving very difficult. Or does anyone have any for sale? Thanks in advance for any help Gav

Hi All, Just joined, have had numerous bikes over the years, growing up in the 70's starting with an old FS1E and moving on from there,over the last few years I have enjoyed buying the odd old bike and doing them up, ridding them round for a while then selling when the next project comes along, at the moment I have a XJ750 built in 1984 but first registered abroad so it's an import, but it's in pretty good nick for it's age just hasn't been used for at least the last 9 years, so a bit of work required, and some bits, will post some photos when I can.

Hi guys, I'm Ash from London. I don't own a Yamaha yet but I'm after an XVS 125 that I can rurn into a bobber. I've been having a nose at all the XVS projects on here and thought it was about time to introduce myself! If anyone knows of an XVS 125 for sale, gimme a shout! Cheers, Ash.

I'm a guy from south of Sweden. Just got my motorcyclelicense and my first bike, its a Xvs 650 that I plan to convert to bobber later on. Hope to get some help with questions here by you who are a little bit more experienced that me. Cheer! // Martin

Hi everyone My names Luke. I'm new to the forum and new to biking. Just done my CBT and waiting for my new YBR 125 to arrive. Just a commuter for now but already planning on doing my test so I can take off those L plates. Perfectly happy getting some road experience on the 125 first though, I'm in no rush at all. That'll do for now. Hopefully an adequate intro. Cheers

hey am new to this forum carry on still trying to figure out how it works, i love bike espically 2 strokes, from northern ireland and ive had few small bikes have a DT125R at the min, she not on the road yet bought her not running for project there 32000 on clock pulled the head off her till find what was left of the piston and no rings at all tho lucky enough bottom end was tight, got the cylinder barrel bored and new piston and rings hadda get cylinder top skimmed as well some poor man boiled her brains out, so got that all sorted and built up and bike was running ok ish, she wouldnt run with out choke on even when warm so pulled the carb apart and gave it a good clean …

I have acquired a 1970 yamaha h3d. It's a 2 stroke 90cc. This information is going off information yamaha gave me from the vin number. It has been sitting for 20+ years. The restoration is slow but is going fine parts are hard to find for that exact model but have been sourcing parts off various other similar models. Just wondering if anyone knows where these bikes were released and if there many made or if they are called another model because all the parts websites I have found do not list this model any info would be great
