This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts.
What is it from? I think it had 2400cc on the case.

I need to replace the rear tire on my '89 vmax (sheetrock screw).  I saw on
a website somewhere a recommendation for the Michelin Macadam 50.  However,
the mechanic at the local Yamaha dealer showed me a set of new Macadams he
had just taken off another customer's vmax.  He said ...

I have just over 10,000km on my V-Star 1100 Classic, and the rear tire
is wearing thin. I figure maybe another 2000km. This is OE Dunlop
tire.
Although it does not seem like I got much mileage out of it, I must

I've just reconditioned my forks on my xj 550 and found out that they are
from an xs 750 bike ,the job is done now but I do not know how much fork oil
to put in, dose any body know.
The bike shop that I got the fork oil from said that it is 170cc each fork,

I finally tired of waiting on the new V-Stars to come out here in
Florida.  Today they told me another month so I bought a Sabre
instead.
Lots of good information in this forum and all have been helpful BUT

After  getting my 2003 650 vstar out of winter storage, I had a gas leak due
to the carbs needing to be cleaned. Even though I drained the gas and did
the winter storage stuff.Had dealer clean it, worked fine. But now after
sitting for about 3 weeks, same problem. The bike started ...

The back tyre on my XJ is just about done and I am now looking for another
brand.  It is shod with Michelin Macadams at the moment and I have to say
they are the worst and most uninspiring, confidence sapping tyres I have
ever tried.  Especially when it's raining.

My apology for posting the pictures. I am on another couple of newsgroups,
running and forsale stuff, that we occassional post pictures with our
messages. I also wasn't paying attention to the size of those pictures. I
was hurrying and my apolgies. It won't happen again - At least ...

just checking out this group and wondering if any uk owners here as seems to
be mainly USA....

I got this bike about a month ago and all was fine. I just did some
basic tune up stuff (oil, filters, plug). I pulled out the old plug
that looked like it had been in there since 1990. ;) The electrode was
quite worn but the plug was clean. I replaced it. The old air filter

i have an old flat track, fromm the 70's, i trying to restore he motor
first, it  has a dry sump oil system, my question is as follows, where
if any is there a check valve in the system that would control , or
draining of the oil from the reservoir down in the engine after it shut

This was discussed a few weeks ago and no doubt has been the subject of
conversation for the last several years.  Simply put, the mechanical
engineer (s) who designed the location of the VStar's oil drainplug ought to
be taken out to the nearest field and shot.  They are, no doubt, ...
