Still, with relatively good but mostly discharged battery she actually started and I was able to ride her down the block before realizing she was leaking copious amounts of gasoline through the carbs, which had become sticky due to the months of non-use. My mechanic, who has been working for the local Yamaha shop for decades, and is probably 1 of the best Yamaha mechanics in the south, told me that the carb service would cost approx $500. I will sell this sweet machine, which is in exceptionally fine condition, save for the need of carb cleaning, for $6,500. OBO, but only to someone who will promise to have it transported to the local Yamaha dealership (I'll provide phone number and address of shop when needed) where it can be professionally repaired, prior to attempting to ride it (due to the danger posed by leaking gasoline the instant the engine is cranked.) Phone me at for details/appt. Able to respond ONLY to phone calls or reply to voicemail messages which contain a callback phone number. -Louis

Cardboard Yamaha R1

Tue, 01 May 2012

I'm partial to a bit of origami and have been frustratingly screwing up paper trying to master Yamaha's paper craft series for a while now. Jack Chen from Australia has not only made a mockery of my model making failures, but he also made this version which is 40% smaller than a full-size Yamaha YZF-R1, out of cardboard.

Japan Needs Your Help

Thu, 17 Mar 2011

By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees  and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
