The majority of my family live an hour west of Fort Worth, TX and have land which I ride on. I have a very small track in the woods right next to a field. To get to the track, I generally run 5th gear across the field and go flying into the woods (track). I did that one day and...

I came across a yz125 at a great price on CL. The picture only showed one side, but that side looked nice. The seller said the bike was in "great condition." We drove two hours to look at it only to find that the other side of the bike looked like it side swiped a garbage truck on the interstate...

Through trying to acquire enough parts to build a 75 Yam MX400B, I somehow acquired enough parts to almost build three of them. Not sure how that happens, but I am hoping some of you can relate. Some of the parts are not nice enough to include on a race bike or restoration, but they would function. I am hoping...

I have wanted to do that to my modern bike, but new better due to the brakes. It never dawned on me that I can on the vintage bike. I will start doing that. Thanks!

I believe, as Newman said, that the hubs are aluminum. The backing plates are mag. I have raced several seasons on those hubs with no problems. I might be interested in the electrical system and rear brake pedal and rod if you are going to part the rest out.

CamP is very particular about his bikes and you can tell by looking at them.

2TYam27 Started a new thread 2 stroke vs 4 stroke maintenance

10/6/2012 1:38am
I posted this in the jumping back to 2 stroke thread. That thread is pretty well dead so I decided to start a new thread so I can get some feedback on this. I have been curious as to what the manuals say about top end replacements on the two versus the four stroke since many people complain about how...

I am trying to help my uncle fix his bike and not having much luck. I decided it was time to see if you all could help. I apologize for such a long post. I went with him to look at this used 03 RM250 two stroke. I noticed it was running rich on the bottom but figured it was...

I am building a 75 Yamaha MX400 motor and am trying to determine if my cylinder needs bored. SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU WANT THE SHORTER VERSION. I have a lot of extra parts to this bike including 3 extra cylinders. The piston has the D shape cut out on the intake side and the 3 extra cylinders are obviously...

1/26/2012 1:44pm
I have a 05 YZ250 2 stroke so it has the AOS forks. The forks have not had any work done to them. I wish I had the Speed sensitive forks they came out with in 06 or forks that worked that well. Can the AOS forks be revalved to work as well as the speed sensitive forks or would...

I wish there was a website that had pictures of all the team bikes from way back to current. I know some of the photographers have been around forever so you would think the pictures are out there, just probably not on the web. Pictures of the bikes as sold to the public, on the same page, would be cool...

Others have posted this link to play online http://nintendo8.com/game/24/excitebike/ which made me wonder: Is it possible to beat the game excitebike? I remember playing the last track over fifty times one night and finally decided to pause the game, go to bed and start again the next morning. I woke up the next morning to find the Nintendo turned off...

Anyone else think the audio was too loud in the stands? I was on the third level at about the 50 yard line right below the speakers and it was loud! Lurch would really hurt the ears. It was ear piercing at the beginning and seemed to get a little better or I got used to it. It made me...

I have an 05 YZ250 with the position sensitive forks and I can tell a difference when I ride the 06 and up YZs (YZ125 and YZ250F) with the speed sensitive forks if the track is rough or has harsh landings. I am always blown away by how good the stock speed sensitive Yamaha forks are. I also spent some...
