I have a Yamaha TT-R 225 that has been sitting since a wreck which has been
about a year now, the wreck wasn't too bad but I need to know what I need to
do to get it running again, such as what all should I clean out, etc. I'm
not experienced but I think I can handle anything needed ...

Yeah, you read that right.  I have a good set of carbs and air box for an
'82 Vision.  The assembly has been in a Ziploc baggie buried in my garage
since 1988.   If you're interested in buying them, email me.
Thanks

According to my owner's manual, I should adjust the valves on my VSTAR at
8,000 miles.  I have a bit over that.
Just how necessary is this?  You don't have to do this on cars.
cheers

looking for rotors for 96 royal star.

Is anyone aware of a big bore kit available for an 04/05 XVS Vstar 650?
I've checked with the local after market places around here and they're
not too sure of anything here in Aus, but said that there might be a
bunch of guys in the states or somewhere doing them.

all i do is kick a.s on those slow running roadstars and the honda vtx.love the
looks on there faces when my 113 starts running away from the meteric crap ,Its
not even close.Like taking candy from a baby

Is there a easy way to tell where your oil level is in a Yamaha 650 custom
without getting down on your knees and trying to look through that little
window?

Can anyone recommend a source and model for an aftermarket windscreen for this bike?  I'm getting cold.  I am looking for a full size one.  I will also buy used if anyone is selling.
Thanks,
Pete

None of my bikes years ago had fuel pumps .
How come my  XVS engined Bulldog has one  ?
THe fuel tank is way above the carburettors .
Has gravity grown so weak over the years  ?

sr500yam any advice thanks stomper

My V-Star 1100 has developed a weird noise out front. Like a creaking
noise, or a rattle or tick, tick. But more like creaking. Weird. It
makes the noise when I hit sharp bumps. If I hold the front brake and
rock the forks up and down, it makes that noise. If I run the front

Any body know where to obtain a chain drive conversion kit for a
v-max.Thanks

Two things.......Has anyone tried reusable motorcycle graphics and has
anyone removed the tank Yamaha emblem from a 650 classic?
How is it attached....Glue....That would be my guess as theses bikes
are built with cost containment in mind

Stock 96 royal star. Is it possible to defeat or adjust the revlimiter?
1st-2nd shift point is about 3 mph to low. As soon as i hit 40 the engine
stumbles against the limiter, usually my foot is reaching for the shifter
and my hand is begining to squeeze the clutch, about 1/2 ...

are there any problmes on the yamaha fjr 1300
