New Members Welcome Area

Hey guys and girls, New member here. I just joined in. Hope you guys are fine and doing well.

Hello, This is just to say hello to all members. I am not a very active motorcyclist (anymore) but often look after motorcycles for my sons. At the moment we have 2007, YBR125 as a learner bike for my son who is planning to move on to heavier bike. Hope to learn and share experience. Regards,

Hi, Names Scott. 🙋‍♂️ Currently restoring DT175MX 1978 Model. Been viewing past restorations looking for tips and thought I would join and hopefully pick some brains on the right way to go about things. Had a DT175MX when I was in my teens and it was the most fun bike I've ever owned and have missed it every day since someone pulled out on me and I had no choice but to stuff it into the back of their car (SMIDSY). This was back in 86 or 87 as it was a brand new D plate Cavalier, he got away with it but the bike got damaged enough that I couldn't ride it and this was before the internet and Ebay so I flogged it off cheap to some chap who stuck a flier throug…

I am a new member, have recently bought a ‘project’ RXS100, that has turned out to be less of a project than I hoped for🙂 it’s an X training school bike from the look of things with 7000 on the clock and seems pretty mint, a bit of a ripley tank on one side - probably dropped by a learner, took it for a MOT and it passed 1st go! I used to ride in the good old days when you could jump on to a 250 without any trouble, but haven’t ridden since I was 23 (except the odd scooter here and there in Greece on hols) I have just passed my CBT and am out in the lanes thrashing the RXT, most fun I have had with my clothes on in a long time!!! there is a little big end …

Hello everyone, recently passed my bike test and have a new 1999 bobbed xvs 650. Will post some pics soon.

Hi! After a long hiatus from riding, I got back into it last summer when a friend lent me his 2001 Thundercat (YZF 600R) aka "Kitty". I'm in Ottawa, Canada, so only get about 6 months of riding weather each year. Had a great time last season and my friend extended the loan to this summer as well, so she's still "mine". (He actually just bought a third bike, so I don't think he has room in his garage for her anymore - that works for me 😁 )

Hi there! happy to be part of this owners forum.. it can be a little lonely on the road, especially when you are a new rider and there's so much to learn! I live in Auckland, New Zealand and there's plenty of excellent places to explore. I LOVE my first bike.. its a Yamaha 2010 V-Star 250... I am really attracted to Yamaha cruisers (Harley's just dont do it for me for some reason)... theres just something about the styling which seem spot on to me. Im looking forward to learning more about road craft and maintenance and when I am off my Learner's in a couple of months I want to purchase an XVS650. Cheers! Dan

So I bought an 85 Maxim 700 (XJ700N) a couple weeks ago. it's in need of TLC but it's pretty solid for driving. I found the Service Manual pdf so i have it on my desktop. I joined so I could get help on the TLC part. Here she is. the previous owner thought he would paint the tank red. Looks horrible but it's just paint. the Key Set(Ignition, tank and Seat) need replaced. the guy lost the key so he jammed a small flat head screwdriver into the ignition and tank. the Petcock is garbage and the fuel level sensor needs replaced. the battery is questionable. it's one of those 12v refillables you can get at Wwalmart but the acid is all gone. a little fuel Line …

good evening I am new to this site , I used to have a wrangler 125 when I was 18 , yes many years ago, i recently purchased a Rd125LC , B reg in white , the V5 form says Yellow, which would be Kenny Roberts colours , the guy who I purchased it off said he sprayed it white , don't know why but he did , he said he didn't know it was a limited edition, how do i find out if it was actually a yellow Kenny Roberts , edition and not just sprayed yellow before , thank you

Hi all. New member from Nottingham. I bought my XV950R as my first bike just under a year ago. Currently looking into my options around replacing the lumpy stock exhaust with something a little more.... fitting. I guess I should probably sidle off to the dark corner with the other Cruisers now eh? 😉

Hey all, i am relatively new to the motorbike scene, i have a 2010 YZFR 125. Recently the radiator coolant has decided to relocate its home to my cylinder chamber, i am going to strip it down and replace the gaskets, fingers crossed its all it requires, but do yall have any advice on what else should be replaced at the same time. Engine oil seems to be coolant free for now, just changed the engine oil and filter 20 miles before this happened. Grrrrrr i have also replaced the spark plug at the service. so apart from the obvious engine gasket set what are other parts do yall think i should replace.

I've owned my 1979 rare(ish) yamaha engined BSA Tracker since 1985. The bike was layed up in 1993. During recommissioning just now I found there is no spark (despite their being one there in 2008 when I rode it briefly around the drive). Anyway, I'm looking forward to riding the beast again soon and possibly doing some LDT's in the Somerset area. If there are any other enthusiasts out there local to Somerset please get in touch. Inserting an image URL of the bike is sadly beyond my capability or patience quotient.

I thanks for the membership I have a CT1 I think it’s a 1969 how do I go about getting a dating letter any help would be appreciated all the best Rich
