The Dept of Transport were doing a free sticker thing that went inside your helmet with your personal details etc , and an alert one for Police/ Ambulance that went on the outside to let them know details were inside.

That was great !, I was after some info on an SR400 yamaha which is a Japanese market model, I wanted to know valve clearances and the like for servicing, I,ve googled it and got an Australian site but are,nt convinced by them.If you can help I,d be grateful . Cheers Dave..

Very nice, whats it like to ride,I,ve always liked the look of the 1300 and I,m not a cruiser fan normally.

Thats part of the problem I cant write in Japanese, an English person in Japan would be Ideal !

I think that has the potential to be a really nice bike, I had a RD 200 in 1972, the RS is as rare as hens teeth, I don,t remember seeing one before, do it up bit by bit, I think it,s lovely....

Was wondering if there are any Japanese members on the Forum who speak English, if so please reply ' Thanks Dave...

Post a Photo or 2, that was a bike I wanted to own back in the 80,s but never bought, I,d say it,s collectable. regards Dave...

It came in from Japan as a 2001, story was it was from a shop that closed down, I suspect it was a shop hit by the quake.They have made them for the Japanese market since 1978 virtually unchanged, and an injected model is still on sale in Japan.I picked it up on 1st Feb and have just got it registered and taxed.It rides just like a 70,s bike which is what it is , not fast but torquey and flexible with nice flickable steering.I,ve ordered a Yamaha rear chrome carrier from Japan( OE fitting) for the back.

I,ve not got them on my bike but I believe Barkbusters are an easy fit if a bit pricey.......Dave

Hello folks, I,m brand new and am just introducing myself, names Dave , I,m 56yrs old and have 2 lovely Yamahas, a 2009 red TDM 900 and a maroon and white Sr 400 single which I,ve just registered. Many moons ago my first bike was an orange RD200 twin bought in 1972 when I was 17yrs young ! I,m looking at a test ride on a 1200 Tenere at the end of the month when my local dealer gets a demo model. ATB Dave...
