Just saying hello from Bonnie Scotland..

Hey there, New to the forum, just wanted to say hello.. Based just south of Gloucester. I've got a Kawasaki Z as my main bike but have picked up a Yamaha XT 125R for fun and maybe some light green laning kind of thing.. It's a bit of a turkey but planning on overhauling a it a bit. So there'll be some questions and queries heading your way.. Cheers.. K.

.........just to say hello to everyone from the forum. Im from Norfolk and Ive been into bikes for around four years and Ive always fancied a project. A mate of mine has recently sold me an 86 FJ1200 in black and this is to be my project. Its not in bad condition but needs a ruddy good clean, as its been hiding away in his garage for a while. Il try not to ask stupid questions and I promise to use the search facility first!

Hi All, I have just joined the forum. I have had a Yamaha TW 125 for a year and after spending a lot of money at the garage on probably fairly simple maintenance, I have begun to learn how the whole thing works and came across this forum. Hopefully, advice from other members along the way may teach me a thing or two. This is my first bike, although I have driven lots abroad, and am desperate to get something bigger but the licence costs mini fortune so have to wait for a bit. Cheers

Hi to all, be kind to me as I'm new to this forum lark, me names Burt, from Sheffield my first bike was a DT 125 Lc some 30 years ago, had some sort of 2 wheeled fix ever since but I've recently come full circle (mid life crisis according to her indoors) and bought a very original DT 125 LC YeeHa!

Hello All Yes I'm a bike virgin but just about to leave that taboo behind. I've just booked my full test for mid April (sh@&ing it abit). Anyway after I left the test school parting with my hard earn money I drove past a bike shop, and popped inside. As I was wondering around looking at the untamed gleaming beasts I came across a R6. It was on a 57 plate with 2600 miles on it, it was the white and red version however the previous owner had all the red stickers removed and had the side panels sprayed like a Perlesant white. The dealer had it up for £5499 which I being a novice to the world of biking thought, it was a good price. Any how I pushed my luck and got th…

hi i've recently bought an aerox yq50 but there was no owners manual with it its on a 98 plate the question i want to ask is where is the seat release too?

Hi everyone my name is Craig and I'm new to this, I recently bought a dt125r 1999 model and It runs fine untill 5th gear where it stays at 9000 revs at 60mph (6th gear useless because of this) I de-restricted airbox which helped acceleration and I pulled out Reed switch (not cut just moved out of way) which I thought let it rev freely but did nothing? I know my powervalve needs put on right position as its lined up in restricted form and maybe my cdi needs de restricted? I've got standard exhaust chamber de restricted and a dep end can but I know it can do more than 60mph any ideas or help would Be much appreciated thanks

Hi I'm a newbie and I have a problem that I don't know how to fix I need some advice Anyone

Hi I'm Paddy, I have a Diversion XJ600S from 1998 (R reg) a week ago it broke down as if it had run out of fuel, slowly running out of revs and effort. It has compression of 150psi on each cylinder, a new fuel pump that is connected right, lovely bright blue sparks from new plugs, twice cleaned carbs and when I fire her by pouring fuel straight into the carbs does a lovely clean and even sounding roar, then dies! All fuses ok, all electrical connections ok. New yellow top battery. Fuel tank cleaned out and all filters checked. It has had a mayonnaise winter problem before but always runs fine after cleaning out its lines. Any ideas folks? I'm running out of them! Cheers.
