If you have a tip on the black bar (see photo , supposedly pixel error in the display ) in the kilometer display ? Would you like a workshop that gets that or a private contact . The tachograph otherwise works perfectly . Also the km display ! Only there is this permanently existing black bar available . Have received a variety of different statements : 1. This cannot be eliminated 2. If two tachos can be sent in , the kmStand of the now installed tachos can be read out and taken over into a used tacho. 3. With a used tacho the km-Stand cannot be changed. The displayed is fixed ! Thanks for your support !

Servus Friends I have an A2 driver’s license and would like to buy a Yamaha XJ900 (first registration in 1988). I want to throttle this and convert it to a Cafe Racer… Now the version has 98 hp and I can only drive up to 95 hp (and then reduced to 48 hp) with the A2. If I would have the bike checked for the current performance level, will there possibly come out 95 hp? Due to wear etc. over the years. Or do I have no chance to have it transferred to 95 hp? otherwise a different possibility, so that I can still legally ride the bike? Can I possibly manage this somehow with the “right” inspector from the TÜV? There is a throttle for 48 hp and I would find it a pity if the project would fail at the 3 hp… Thank you very much! MfG

Hello together, I have run a few minor “problems” with my XJ 900 Diversion 4km Built in 1997 about 35,000 km. I bought the machine a good 2 months ago from a dealer near me. Before the collection a complete inspection with all liquids was done. Now I drive the XJ for about 700 km and I noticed a few small things. But I don’t quite know if the problems I have to deal with or things that are normal for the XJ. Learn the M 1. When the XJ is cold, I have the feeling that it clacks out of the engine. Can also mislead me. 2. When the XJ has run warm, the exhaust gases do not come from the right exhaust, but with such a light puff puff puff. Hard to explain. On the left, the exhaust gases are nice and even. I don’t know if this is normal. But I didn’t notice until today. I can’t remember that it was until now. 3. When I fall in the evening (day after day it falls). The light flickers sometimes, either when I flash or at the acceleration. As if the lighting system were short and then working again. Thank you for your thoughts. BG

Hello dear XJ community, I’m new here, my name is Jan and I live in Erding. Recently I bought a 31a because I had one between 1984 and 1991. Wonderful! Now my question: I would like to upgrade for optical and nostalgic reasons to the original handlebar-resistant panel. Supposedly the bike then tends to commute, but that was then with the Pirelli Phantom. Today’s tires (have now the BT45) are many times better, besides I use the 40 Jah Re old bike no longer on the highway anyway. Does anyone have experience with it? Does anyone have experience with the released radial tyres (e.g. Conti Road attack)? Greetings Jan

Hello, Today during the ride of the engine of my R125 year 2019 I ran out under strange noises. Got a loud helmet and was on the highway therefore I can not describe the sound perfectly but healthy it did not sound at all. The indicator light is on and the engine can no longer be switched on. Not even the ignition works, means when I press the starter comes no more than one click. Engine has driven about 19500 km and I actually did No short distances if it could be avoided and over 7-8K I have almost never turned because I also avoid motorways if I can. Is it possible to start with a remote diagnosis? At least to narrow down the source of the problem something? At the moment I don’t really have the resources for workshop and can really only hope that the whole engine is not in a bucket… So if someone knows what..

Need spiritual support again A buddy asked me to bring a rather rancid DT-175 engine back into the gears Coupling and cylinders are lying next to it, visible and noticeable running tracks on the piston, upper ring fixed, but according to My estimation rather a dead end, it did not eat. What makes me sceptical is that the part, especially the clutch discs, are totally rusty. But: where should the water come from? I am afraid that bearing balls rusted si So my specific question: how realistic is it that a standing engine rusts from the inside so that storage damage threatens, or does it grind itself with the time, love, hope and fresh oil? My plan would be, because neatly rust solver pure, then two three times properly shaken with gasoline, fresh oil on it and finished. Am I improving or is this a recommended procedure? I don’t, the workload is out of budget anyway.

Moin together. I’ve had a problem with my little, well, always. From the very beginning, she jumps very badly, when the engine is cold, and with Choke already not at all… if she then approaches, then she dumps with hardly perceptible rotary zalula (so 800 ca) before her, then she likes to die off, if I don’t react fast enough with the gas tap. If I now move the Choke even a few millimeters, she dies immediately, but then can be without Choke u If the engine then has a little temperature, so after about 1min. it keeps the idling quite stable and rises In the speed slowly direction 950-1000 revolutions, which then sounds like a healthy and round idling. If I put the choke in before I start, then the whole doesn’t sound so healthy either. The sound is not quite easy to describe, but is best to compare with a very dull knocking that par If the little warm is everything is tutti, only to get it until then is quite difficult. Warm start without a choke and without gas in 2 seconds. Well then also the real question: How would you go about this thing, how does a meaningful order of work look here? Have basically a plan of cars, but with engines with carburettors my experience value is practically not available… Thanks in advance for your help

Hello all, I am unfortunately at the end of my nerves. I bought the Yamaha Virago 535 from dealer, first hand. Year of construction 1999 mileage 7000km The moped is in a very good condition, everything was also made by the dealer – service carried out fresh through our master workshop – carburetor overhauled – spark plugs new – spark plug new – oil and filter change The following problem, hot or cold, when pulling gas in idle, the speed always hangs a short time and goes very l There’s no problem when I drive, but I come to the stand and try to drive, it doesn’t come forward as if it’s swallowing. In addition, as soon as I pull 20% of the gas nothing comes, when I give 30% it pushes forward suddenly. Am I at speed and give gas everything good. Only this advance. Of course, no direct injection but my feeling is that something is wrong. Another note, in idle and when releasing gas, the exhaust is banging. t though nice but something not right with the moped. Dealer tells me that the seals have been checked, my guess that runs too lean or pulls false air. I drove just since purchase 100km and had once filled Super Plus. Hope that someone here can help me thanks !! LG Daniel

Hello, I’m new here at the Yamaha Forum since I bought a Tracer 9 GT from 2021 3 weeks ago. Since 1994 I drive a motorcycle and have never changed a brake line. I have now read somewhere that Yamaha requires an exchange after already 4 years??? My first machine was a Honda CB 500, with which I drove for 14 years, about 55 TKm) and have done all the maintenance work after the warranty period itself. I have the brake fluid regularly every 3 years. The Honda also had rubber brake hoses, while the BMW was made of steel flexible cables. In the car, brake hoses are only replaced if these first porous spots on the outer skin (usually after more than 10 years). The TÜV examiner sees this the same way. Is this a (over) careful ) measure of Yamaha, as is the case with so many manufacturers today? How do you handle it?

Hello together, I have bought a XV 1100 vehicle,without wire harness,but all parts as stated. I have problems to connect the ignition to the ECU. Can someone tell me or also help me to restore this? I need to say so the occupancy for the ECU. MfG Maddin
