Where did we get to with this? I thought the mods had sent you their sizes, mine info is buried in the thread somewhere. What do I owe you?

Really not much in it in price

Yeah but I still like riding around in circles ;-)

Hi, right bike decisions. I've just been looking over Australian super sport bike sales and Yamaha are in 3rd place. Lagging behind both Honda and Suzuki. 1) Honda CBR1000RR - 295 sold 2) Suzuki GSX-R1000 - 233 sold 3) Yamaha YZF-R1 - 184 sold Have any of you riden the competitors bikes and what are your thoughts? They're all great looking bikes, but the R1 still does it for me. If you were/are in the market for superbike What would make you choose the R1 over the others?

We've missed you ;-)

Yamaha Factory Racing will be joined by new Official Sponsor BM Group for the remainder of the 2012 season and through 2013 and 2014. The BM Group already has strong ties with Yamaha having been a key sponsor of the World Superbike Team. As such it was a natural progression to move across to MotoGP and join forces with the Factory Team. The Italian based BM Group has almost 50 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying electrical connections and is a global market leader in its field. Lin Jarvis - Managing Director, Yamaha Motor Racing “I am very happy to welcome the BM Group back into the Yamaha Factory Racing world and into the MotoGP Championship. Both of our companies share similar values of passion, quality, innovation and teamwork. We enjoyed a successful collaboration in the past in Superbike and we look forward to partnering together in the coming years and to sharing many exciting moments and successes both on and off the track.” Andrea Mario Lodolo - President, BM Group “We have developed a close and exciting relationship with Yamaha. From our first cooperation in 2009 with the Yamaha Superbike Team, our partnership has continued to go from strength to strength as it evolves. This international agreement is very important; it shows that our company is establishing itself as a centre of excellence and that we are going in the right direction. BM Group’s innovation and determination makes it a perfect match for the most prestigious motorcycling event worldwide, which attracts international media coverage.” Click here to view the news

Jorge Lorenzo - Position 2nd - Time: +14.996 “Well, things can change completely in one race. In Holland we had a 25 point advantage then suddenly zero, one engine less and we were very disappointed. Then today we had some luck from Casey’s unfortunate crash. I would have been happy to have finished in third position because today the bike and the rear tyre was not so good. The race was very tough; I always seem to finish second here! I would have preferred not to crash in Assen and for Casey not to crash here but that is racing sometimes. We struggled a little all weekend with the changing weather so we must be happy with the end result.” Ben Spies - Position 4th - Time: +20.740 “It was a frustrating race, but I guess we have to be happy with a top five. We had a lot more potential but we did the best we could with the set up we had. We didn’t have enough edge grip and acceleration so I had to sit behind Dovi and Cal and wait. I could see Cal was getting a little impatient and wanting to pass Dovi so I was hoping he would and maybe clear a spot for me to get by. I had a good pace but not enough to out brake them so had to play a waiting game.” Wilco Zeelenberg - Yamaha Factory Racing Team Manager “Today was a great result after a very difficult race. Our pace was never really there and we were not really happy with our set up in any session. What counts is the standings so we are happy to be back in the lead and heading to Mugello next weekend.” Massimo Meregalli - Yamaha Factory Racing Team Director “It has been a pretty tough weekend but we have to see it in a different way. We came here second in the Championship and we are leaving leading it. This is the important thing. We knew from the beginning that it was going to be a complicated race and the weather didn’t help us. This morning we were pretty satisfied with the set up then suddenly we had to run with the hardest tyre. Unfortunately this choice compromised our results.” Click here to view the news

Monster Energy Yamaha’s David Philippaerts could be back on a motocross track in as little as three months after a thorough and extremely successful operation yesterday afternoon at Spedali Civili di Brescia hospital. The former MX1-GP World Champion suffered fractures to both wrists after a crash during the first moto of the Grand Prix of Sweden at Uddevalla last Sunday. The Italian flew home for an operation that would involve replacement of the plates he had installed after his accident last summer. The damage to the radius bones of both arms was repaired by Dr Pier Paolo Borelli, who was able to stabilise the fractures by substituting and shifting the metalwork. Such was the comprehensiveness of the procedure that Philippaerts was already able to start stretching his fingers, felt considerably less pain and is able to sleep comfortably. ‘DP19’ is expected to leave the hospital over the weekend. A period of rehab is expected to begin immediately and medical staff are confident that within two months the 28 year old will be able to use the limbs normally. “I am happy with how everything has gone and I am being taken care of very well here,” said Philippaerts who came back from a similar injury to claim two Grand Prix podiums and one moto victory this season. “It feels good not to have any pain and the doctor was confident that the new surgery will mean my wrists will be stronger than before. I will be home in two days and then looking to get fit and ready when I can.” Click here to view the news

I never thought I'd say this... my friend has just bought one last week. He's had matt black exhausts and a few other parts added and it looks a really nice bike. It's quite small as well.

Here in Oz, we have many many dating sites just for married people. In fact Ashley Madison advertise on billboards out here!

Ah don't remember if I said, but you have the URL wrong on the t-shirts

Hi I'll take my just plain, they can tell you what they want. I can either pay by PayPal or bank transfer, send me the bill :-)

Sorry it's been down so long. I've encountered an issue with the new gallery installation files, I've tried everything I can think of but is now in the hands of their technical support team. Gallery has been disabled until a fix is found. Thanks for your patience

Hi all, The site will be down for 30mins in about 30 mins, I'm upgrading the software. Cheers Alex

I'll get one for me and the mods. I'll take a medium white, fellow mods what do you want? Just to let you know that the URL is yamahaclub.com ;-)

They've just launched a new version. http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-7617-ips-ios-app-now-available/ I haven't had a look at it.

I'll get one for myself and the mods.

Please do not post links to any form of copyrighted material, especially service manuals, or make requests of where to download them. Thanks Alex

Sorry guys should be able to sort it out this weekend, I've only just got back from holiday.

Right I'm back! Is anyone still getting this error, as I can't seem to replicate it at all? Oh the adverts are missing as Google have disabled adserving to the site as there were links to copyrighted material. I've removed the links and hopefully they'll reinstate their advertising. The Google ads go a long way to help pay for the website. Fingers crossed. Cheers

Hi Michael, to be perfectly honest I've never actually tried using the iphone app as the forum works pretty well just through the normal browser. If you're having any issues with it I'd recommend posting here: http://community.invisionpower.com/forum/449-mobile-apps-support/ Cheers

I'm hoping this has now been fixed, let me know if you encounter this issue again. Hopefully you won't as I'm off on holiday tomorrow. Cheers
