    Hello, just registered and looking forward to buying my first bike in 40 years. Just got that bug again. Looking to start small say Virago 125 then move up the cc tree to something bigger.

    Just one quetion please that someone may be able to help me with

    Why are some XV Virago 33bhp and some 10bhp?

    Ian

    Hi Ian, welcome to the mad house :lol: as for your question, I would think that the 33bhp is a 250cc and the 10bhp would be a 125cc learner ....i stand (or sit) corrected :rolleyes: any ways, WELCOME

    Hi fellow bike fanatics.

    I am a new member, im 20 from essex in england!

    I am in trouble with my bike at the moment.. the engine on my Yamaha dt 125R 2004 seems to have siezed up. The enginge wont turn over even with a bumpstart, the back wheel stays locked.

    Is there any other way to test if the engine is siezed?

    I think I may need to take the engine off so I can send it away to be fixed, a full enginge rebuild is available on eBay for 300pounds.

    Any help or diagrams or step by step to taking the engine off.. I have all the tools etc..

    Thanks!

    hi and welcome, as cynic said if you have the tools and a manual with a bit of confidence you can do it, it's a two stroke engine and one of the simplest designs, I wouldn't go near Evel bay for something like this, if in Dowt try to get to know the local bike mechanics for help! :)
