  • My FZ8 beautifiers… Tips

    Hi together… I have something to change before my FZ8. Would you have nice if you had n some suggestions. Planned are: rear silencer, brake and clutch lever, mirror, rims (possibly water transfer pressure… or rim stickers…Color?? ) LED indicator front, footrests… Am not entirely conclusive to me if I should partially be mounted in gold (because of the suspension fork) … especially concerning the clutch and brake levers as well as the feet. Or rather stay with blue/black… Greeting Andy

  • Yamaha XV 500 SE. 1983/1984 – Experiences?

    Hello to the municipality, I am just driving A and have the opportunity to get a YAMAHA XV 500 SE in a very good condition. Since you find so little on the internet I thought I asked here for the reliability and general experience reports of this moped. And do you mean a trip from Bavaria (Franken) to Berlin is possible without any problems ? Many greetings

  • Charging problem with VMax

    Hello guys, I want to shield you: With my Max the battery is emptied during the ride. In order to keep them alive I have to keep the Max of traffic lights always in the gas, otherwise it dies. I measured the following values: Battery fully charged: 12.8V Charge voltage increases to a maximum of 13.2V, voltage does not break together with higher dreg numbers Residency of windings: 0.7Ohm; 0.7Ohm; 0.7Ohm AC voltage of Lima measured between phases: approx. 21V i.e. 63V g It’s not possible to detect a mass closure, all plugs cleaned and treated with contact spray According to the workshop book, the resistance must be about 0,35 ohms. You think there is the problem to look for. Furthermore, I had read that when using double headlights, as in my case, the Lima already comes to the limits. what do you think?

  • Don’t get 1st part of the cylinder head out – Yamaha YZF1000R THUNDERACE

    Hello together maybe one of you can help me. I have a Yamaha YZF 1000 R built in 1997 and am doing a big maintenance (change valve shaft seals, grind in valves etc.) I have a problem now which I can’t explain to myself. I don’t get the first part of the cylinder head off. Screws are all solved/removed and also seems to want to get out but it hacks or it jams somewhere. I don’t want to pull out now with violence. There’s nothing in the workshop manual that helps me. I once added a picture from the internet so you know which part of the cylinder head I mean (marked red).

  • Yamaha DT 80 LC1 25+ years of service life

    Hello to each other, I’m the new one and I’m looking for a used vehicle (Enduro) around (max 125cc, 15ps, you know) And I want to get involved directly with a question. :> What do you think of a service life 25+ years dry in barn? Would such a DT 80 LC1 still be saved by hand? I have to say, of course, that I have no experience in “screwing”, but it is often mentioned that these old bikes are easy to repair by myself. Can you say from the beginning that such a thing would be utopian for this motorcycle in terms of cost? Thank you very much already and nice Wednesday

  • XJ 750 jerks and sets out to…

    If it only runs on three cylinders, then it suddenly pulls off at full throttle to expose itself immediately to it. All float chambers fill up, I tried that, the carburettors are supposedly ultra sound cleaned, at least externally pieksauber, however, this has made a Yamaha – dealer, not myself. Before I take them apart now and shell them myself, maybe someone has an idea, the same experience, it is what banal ? spark plugs are new, filters are also. And: W as have the six (!) black hoses for a purpose that disappear from the gasses in the Nirvana in front of the battery box (and are nowhere connected)

  • Cdi does not give mass to petrol pump relays – Yamaha Virago 535

    Hello, well you can help me, had my yamaha virago 535 bj93 rebuilt, and now she no longer jumps on or, I need the bensinpumping relay with mass over bridges to start it, and even then she only runs on cylinder 1, I assume that the cdi does not pass any mass to the relay because the cable goes directly to the cdi. Had anyone ever had such problems and had advice for me still spin through, relai I worked tested, gasoline pump works even after exercise rbrücken, I assume that the cdi is broken or just that it does not release the mass because what andres is broken like e.g. kill switch or magnet switch in the petrol tank????? Just how to check???
