Y.O.C. T shirt ....who wants one?
OG m8 im just needing to know how many are wanted as we need to sell at least 25 for the price to be £10 each. any design tweaks/ideas will be made before i order them in the other thread. but we need to hit the 25 mark. so can i put you down for 4? in a medium? if we can hit 25 then il put my money to it and get a sample made ....its gonna cost me £75 (i think...its in the other thread) to set up. so im not doing it if we cant get an order of 25 or over.

xvs 1100 noisy engine
hi and welcome to the forum im not completely sure on your bike but gearbox/clutch problems are mainly due to the oil. plus im guessing you dont know when the oil was changed last? so it wouldnt hurt to give it a service. do an oil change, and put new spark plugs, air filter and oil filter in. then at least you know when it was done. im sure someone will give you a better answer soon

Need more juice for my YBR 125
sorry to say m8 but 125cc 4 stroke engines nowadays are designed and built to be "restricted" its not really a restriction as this implies that the engine has more power. but they dont. its just built to plod at a reasonable speed. there are a couple of things you could try but they will cost money and are not guaranteed to work, and will damage the engine over time. so your best bet would be to just keep it as it is till you can get a bigger cc bike. but here is a list of what you could do:- 1. free flow exhaust (frees up air flow, costs £300 for an extra 4mph) 2. bigger jets in carb (creates a bigger bang, costs £7 per jet but its not a mod for a noob!) 3. re-map (re-map the icu, or cdi whatever you call it costs £400 for an extra 5mph) all these will wear out the engine faster (if done properly) if there not done properly then expect ur engine to last a month 4. big bore kit (it changes the bikes cc so you get more but your engine internals take on more strain plus it will make you illegal if your on a learner license) your best bet (and cheepest) would be to use the ybr for 2 years to pass your test then get a bigger cc bike.

TZR 125 help needed, I'm at my wits end.
i had a similar problem when building my bike ......would rev fine when stood still but put any load on it and it would bog and eventually die.... turned out to be an air leek carbside .....

bright-house are shit!
well im not sure if i am or not thats the bit thats winding me up. iv still got to go down to sort it out, whats annoying is they treat you like scum at the mansfield branch .......well after you sign the contract anyway. but go to the chesterfield branch (which is closer to me) and they cant do enough to help. i dont see why i have to go to 1 specific branch to cancel a contract and re-claim my money. so as it stands ....bright house are shit!

Road rage!!!!

electric bike on the way?
the only reason i suggested a gear box was for better control when cornering......plus it makes it more like a combustion engine bike. its ok having a rev and go....but these things make no noise.... have you tried riding with ear plugs on a quiet bike? (to the point you cant here the bike at all!)....its weird (and i dont like it) i dont know about you but i found that i rely on hearing the revs and select a gear to suit to help judge the right speed when cornering.....there is a nice bendy back lane round my way and on a 125cc i can tell you exactly what gears to use to get the most out of each corner. think its more a personal preference thing

electric bike on the way?
it will be interesting to see what comes out of it in the next 10 years or so problem is there rev and go sort of thing.......would be better having gears.....but still in "development" stages i suppose.

bright-house are shit!
i went to bright house the other week (Saturday) wanting to get a big tv (47 inch) so on impulse i set up a contract and payed for delivery. total cost would be £2334 over 3 years with insurance and warranty, they told me yeah everything is fine but i need a number and address for a reference. so on the Monday i gave it them on the phone, great i thought........i wait and wait.....friday comes along and no TV so i ring them up to cancel (I'm within my 14 day's as it states in my contract) plus i can get one cheaper from PC world. they said yeah thats fine its all sorted but you will need to come in and sign a couple of forms then we can issue a refund......so i go in the next day (it takes 45 min to get there by the way) i go in ............oh sorry sir we cant issue a refund till Thursday so if you can come in Thursday then we can sort it out for you.........after me spending half an hour arguing with them about the fact that i cant make it and them plain ignoring it i travel home and make a complaint to the customer service department..........today i receive a letter saying that i have defaulted on payment! and owe them £38!!!!! its supposed to be canceled!!!!!!!!!!! so yeah I'm pissed right off! .......Rant over. (sorry)

YOC T-shirt
well......it dont have to be a v-neck! but are we all happy with £10 quid a shirt?

YOC T-shirt
right lads they dont do the football shirt material......or man made material as the printing technique they use melts it. but they do some nice cotton ones if we go for the black or blue design that i posted and have a minimum order of 25 then it will cost £10 per shirt, but if we order 50 or more it reduces the cost to £7.50 per shirt and the way my mind works is, if we order 50 or more then we can get a better quality shirt to start with, which would make it £10 per shirt. the prices that iv posted is for the cheaper v neck cotton t-shirt its good enough for the job but we could get a better quality shirt. for personalization (screen name on the back) its.....well too much now here is the interesting bit. for no extra cost we can put more stuff on the front like designs, as the way they do there pricing is they charge by colours and how many "screens". its going to take 2 screens to do the front anyway, and about 3 colours, so as long as we just use the 3 colours,we can pretty much put anything we want on there for no extra cost. im going to have to put the web address across the shoulder blades as its going to cost more to put it on the bottom due to the different shirt sizes needed.

YOC T-shirt
yeah thats what i was thinking, but depends on price. im thinking something light with a v neck, football shirt material would be mint! im also thinking getting it embroidered instead of a transfer. should last longer but il have to get a price list and go from there.

YOC T-shirt
sounds good to me but iv never used it b4 so il let you do the honers
-
YOC T-shirt
well im set on black (like the pic above) we could go yam blue but you might as well get y.o.c stitched on an official yam top......... the way i look at it is we are a community of Yamaha "owners" that love to talk about bikes, customizing and riding in general. so why not have our own stile?
-
YOC T-shirt
iv just had a look on there website and they can source any type of t-shirt at any size. standard prices are a hell of allot cheaper if i order 25 or more (about half the cost of 25 or less) but just thought...... what colour do we want the shirt to be?

YOC T-shirt

Adding additional lights, horns, fiber optics..etc to your XV125
your best bet would be to run a fused wire direct from the battery m8 put a 12 volt switch on there somewhere, as to speakers on the bike.....its not worth it as you wont hear anything whilst riding. as to fiber optic or led lights....unless its something a bit special (like the tron bike) then it will just look tacky but thats just my opinion.
