Another Newbie
Hi everyone,
Just joined the group, wanted to introduce myself.
Steve from sunny (?) Hastings, got a '98 red n white 4xv which has over the last couple of years been a rolling resto and a TDR 250 which is mainly in oily boxes awaiting some much needed TLC.
Will post some pictures once I work out how ...... technology is not my friend I understand spanners

Re: Another Newbie
Hi Stevie welcome to the forum. I'm useless with spanners and technology.....
Topmost a pic, you have to host them on photobucket and then copy a link into the post. We love pics in here.
This is a great forum, peeps really helpful. I hope you get your cutting out issue sorted, sorry I can't help. If it was an injected bike I would suggest the TPS, but as it's not I haven't a clue, though something shorting out seems to make sense to someone not mechanically minded like me.
Oh fur the guys on here, Stevie has posted a question in another thread about his bike cutting out, I know I've lost the plot but .. Well it's my age.
S welcome to the best furum ever..... We love everything Yamaha on here
