    Yamaha Radian 600 project

    I'll have to get some pics of it for you guys, I did find a fuse box on the bike. I get the feeling the ignition is no good, but I'm not sure. I gotta find something to test the electricity at different points to see where I'm beat. My neighbor just got a motorcycle with an electric start so...

    Yamaha Radian 600 project

    It's been a while since I've been on here but I know I have always gotten great info from this group. New Project: My boss gave me his 1989 Yamaha Radian 600. It was parked 7 years ago due to gas being blown out of the airboxes. Carbs were professionally rebuilt, I believe the issue was a...

    how to restore plastics

    I did this on my old blaster, it works well but i had white plastics and therefore was kinda pointless...plus the little lips at the ends make it really difficult to get it done all around...it's generally pretty time consuming, but easy and cheap

    "BLASTER" not much of a Blast! Did I make a mistake? Banshee???

    I still regret selling mine, Blasters are great quads...fairly cheap (depending on your market, right now what they're posted for on CL in my area is ridiculous) & pretty easy to come across parts. Once you take care of a few different engine mods get wheel spacers (cheap upgrade for a better...

    Which Bike?

    Hondas a great bikes, my friends cr85 is a 2003 or 2004 & it needs its first top end finally. I'd never say no to a Honda engine (unless it's in a car) but Yamaha makes fantastic 2 strokes as well. I'd stick between those two, someone else I know has a Kawi 85 and I haven't heard of...

    Custom 1974 Honda CB450 Cafe Racer

    I won't be thinking about lowering it until I ride it, I'm 6'2" 140lbs...height isn't a concern, it's a bit heavy for me but oh well. I may have found an engine that freely turns for $100, I'll know by the end of the day if it is the right one!

    Custom 1974 Honda CB450 Cafe Racer

    1999 Yamaha Blaster ---> 1986 Suzuki LT250R ----> 1974 Honda CB450 Quite a jump, aye? I picked up a 1974 Honda CB450 from someone on CL for $150. He had purchased the bike originally as a parts bike & now I have it. $150! I brought it home and my neighbor immediately offered me $350 for...

    My 88 lt250r

    I have an '86 I'm parting out at the moment, wish the quad wasn't beat or I would have restored it...sick machines though. I'm honestly a little bit scared of them

    YZF600r

    Closest thing I can find is a clutch thrust plate....when I asked the seller he said "From what I have been told it's little rubber triangles that go between hub and sprocket" Not really sure where to go from here, shouldn't be an expensive or hard to find part if I can find an actual name on it

    YZF600r

    Anyone know anything about a YZF600r? Looking at buying one, the bike is a 1996. Seller said his cousin had taken it apart & somehow he got it & never got around to putting it back together...it needs a "thrust block" and a choke cable according to him and he's asking $500 which isn't bad...

    86 lt250r HELP

    Wiring harness is nearly impossible to find for this model, I found someone with the parts I need for 250 however I don't have my license or a reasonable schedule. Some stuff happened in the fam and I am on my own for most things it's looking like. Decided to part out the quad, I can post pics...

Btw, great thread...I wish I had the chance...

    86 lt250r HELP

    I ended up jumping on the offer, the quad needs restoring (my Blaster needed an engine rebuild but I had the parts)....not gonna be able to get it 100% cheaply but wanna get it running strong and sell it for more than what my Blaster would have gone for...in the end ill profit about $500

    2002 Yamaha Blaster need help with upgrades!!

    Don't forget stance. In my opinion Blasters are ridiculously too tight in stance and I rolled mine the first time I went riding. The result of that (and getting hit by someone else by playing a game) was an avulsion fracture that put me out of wrestling for 6 weeks and a near concussion. Still a...

    86 lt250r HELP

    Just got an offer to trade my blaster for a LT250r. I basically jumped to the offer because my engine is blown up and I don't have much time to get it back together (but I have the parts) and the 250 needs a full exhaust and wiring harness. I feel like I'm stealing this thing (1986 btw, mines a...

    1999 Honda Foreman S 450 electrics

    Hi, I have a Honda Foreman S 450 and while riding the other night the lights & speedometer just stopped working. I was thinking I had a bad fuse but they were all good when I checked, any other ideas?
