Had a go at mine with Optiglanz. Great stuff but a bit virulent, so I wrap the nearby engine parts and frame in cling film first. I don't spray it but pour some in to an old glass and paint it on with a cheap paint brush. Leave for a few minutes then wipe off; actually once you've got rid of most of it give it a go...

Fitted the bash guard i ordered from the shop, had to remove the rear brake pedal to access the engine bolt. It came out ok, but when putting it back in, it sheared, whats the best way to fix? Im thinking of drilling what is left out and the threads, then filling it with weld and re-tapping to the proper s...

2004 model. 4 previous owners. I have owned this since 2010 from a friend. He had bought it from a local dealers where I live. I bought it with 2200 miles on the clock with all the road gear still on it - it had not been used off tarmac. Since 2010 I have used it for what Mr Yamaha intended it to be used for - trai...

I have been playing with jets on my 1996 Raid lately. My bike has the snorkel out, no restrictor. Before it ran fine, but the first 1/4 was weak so I changed the #50 pilot to a 52.5. The new power was instantly noticeable. However, beyond about 1/4 -1/3 it weakens for a bit, then picks up again. Every singl...
Not seen this here....maybe its tucked away somewhere? I have used this for setting my gearing for Snetterton on my GSX-R600 and it worked perfectly well...it's very comphrehensive the first time takes a while but once saved its a peach of a program. enjoy http://www.gearingcommander.com/ -...
It's always difficult drilling holes for the number plate screws in thin plastic flexi plates. I tried a different approach this morning using a 6mm hollow punch and it worked a treat. I didn't take photos as I did it as I was too keen to see how effective it was! However, here is an "after" photo with jus...
No idea what its from. It's been hiding in the bottom of a box for a decade or so! Collect or will post at cost. Otherwise, does anyone recognise which bike it fits? Brian
Hi there. Just recently got myself a ttr and it rums a fcr33. I have just took it off to clean it out as it overflows if the engine is switched off and fuel is on. Does anyone else have experience of these carbs? If so what jets do you use and have you any advice?
Would someone be so kind as to put up a digital picture of these arrows and alignment marks? I must be blind because I do not see any arrows or alignment marks. Also how thick are the friction plates supposed to be? What about the steel plates? My steel plates are visibly worn and one (perimeter) edge...
When lugging at low RPM I'm getting a weird backfire and motor stall that sounds like it's coming out of the header. Is this normal or maybe timing chain or something? The carb is freshly rebuilt and otherwise runs great when not idling. Stock everything (US 1999 model). Unknown time on the motor. It w...
Hi there, anybody knows the number of part of the cylinder gasket, and the cylinder head gasket in the Open Enduro models? is the same that the y2k models? I have an Open Enduro TTr, but I don't know the year, it doesn't have the VIN number, and the chassis is 4GY-085589, maybe '97- '98 or '99, i´m not shu...

I get so much crap about this bike from guys who still ride crotch rockets, like my buddy Ken. The YZ has a little more punch, just a little. But it doesn't slow down any faster -- at the end of the vid Ken took out a barb wire gate (they are hard to see) and got a little tangled up in the fence. I slowed down th...
