The majority of Dragstars are standard models NOT Californian models. This only applies if your bike has ben imported from the USA.
You can find out which yours is by giving the frame number to your local dealer. If it hasnt been imported from California its fine. Mine was from Puerto Rico lol
The V & H bloke is saying that the Cruzers you asked about will fit the 2004-2008 Californian model or the 2006-2008 49 state model
To be honest - the likelihood of it being a Californian model are slim.
But be aware you NEED the stock front header pipe - if you dont have it - they will not fit.

cops wont just pull you for the plate
Yes they will Geoff.
If the letters and numbers are not of the standard required size, or they have been altered to spell out names etc, then they will pull you just for that, give you a fine for displaying an illegal plate and send you on your way.
They do it a lot round here - especially on a sunday.
But i agree that there are far too many bluddy cars with illegal plates - hundreds of them near me spelling "Abdul", "Khan" or other such names.
Annoys the hell out of me it does.

Sounds like you were indeed very lucky though honey. Glad you managed to stay upright and it didn't faze you too much.

Shweeet. Very nice job on the wheels...did you do that yourself?
DM
No i didnt, they were already done, However we will be doing a lot more to this baby over the winter so watch this space.
Some of the mods to yall guys bikes just make me want to weep for joy.Though im not normally given to criminal activity I hope there is some good locks out there because I would surely be tempted to steal sum of dem hawks if I had the chance.
Only kidding.
Or am I.......
I sincerely hope you are - even suggesting stuff like that will acquire you a nice pair of busted kneecaps.............
And you think i'm joking..............

Hve you checked that none of the cables are being pulled too tight or getting trapped when you pull it hard right? COuld be something as simple as that?

Welcome to the forum

I use Redex in my Bandit 400 - but she is getting on a bit lol
Ive used it in my 2004 Dragstar too and seems to clear out the crap.
Wont do it any harm to be honest if you cant be arsed with a full service

Yeah...... dont bother - they are rubbish and look terrible if they dont stick properly.
On the other hand if you REALLY want this thing to stick - glue it on.
Me - i would return it to the shop.
-
If they are saying it will fit, then ask them if you can return it for a full refund if it doesn't
And welcome to the site

Heading out towards wales there are some fantastic roads.
And theres a fabulous route ive done a few times further oop North towards Darlington area - this is GREAT when you're at a loose end of a weekend.
I have it in PDF form if you want to take a look - goes from Scotch Corner, thru Kendal, Kirkstone pass, Tanhill, Barnard Castle, etc. Its 197 miles or so but its a great ride out with loads of good roads!

Vasco - do youhave a local Yamaha delaer youculd go to? If so get them to print it out on headed paper for you. Just tell them whats happened and they should help. Failing that email a Yam dealer over here and ask them - if you are stuck PM me and i will call my local dealer for you see if i can get you something.

Welcome to the forum honey
A friend of mine told me that if you have a full car driving licence and a CBT then you dont need L plates on, is this correct??If your licence was issued before 1st February 2001, then you can ride a 50cc moped, capable of not more than 30mph. Strangely enough, you will not need to display L plates, and you can carry a passenger if the motorcycle has a passenger seat and rear footrests. If you want to ride a motorcycle of over 50cc, up to 125cc, you must take Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you must display L plates, and you must not carry passengers. The CBT certificate is valid for 2 years.
If your licence was issued after 1st February 2001 then you will need to take Compulsory Basic training (CBT). Once you have completed this course, you will be able to ride a 50cc moped without L plates, until your licence expires at age 70, and you will also be able to ride a motorcycle of up to 125cc with L plates (no passengers allowed) for 2 years from the date you completed the CBT course.
Hope this helps.

i have to disagree. I had an RS125 a few years back - it was great!
That bike was nippy as hell!
You do have to look after them though, but that goes for any bike really. And they do need a lot of oil, but again it depends if you can be arsed to do all that. As for warming up - it was never really an issue for me.
I never had ANY problems with my RS and i highly recommend them.

If its not Californian then its exactly the same as the rest.
The European Dragstars are the same as the US 49 state V Stars - i know because mine is a 49 state V star imported from Puerto Rico and the spec is no different to the European one. The only slight difference i have is that mine has a lower Bhp - and thats all.
If its definatelyt not Californian then 49 state parts will fit no bother.
I have bought LOADS of stuff for mine from over here in the UK and they all fit perfectly well.
The only difference in models is the Dragstar Custom and the Dragstar Classic - most parts for one wont fit the other
