  2. Yeah, too far away for me, I'm West Yorkshire lol. Ok, a 2' bar isn't as long as you imagine (I use a 3' breaker bar on mine). I assume you're trying to turn it by hand, your legs are stronger. I would try one of these: Do the same as you were with someone on the bike and the brakes. 1/ Soak the nut in penetrating oil. Put the bar on so it's horizontal and put your foot on it. Making sure it's not gonna come off the nut, start taking up the flex in the bar. Once there, bounce slightly. If you're using a proper breaker bar, I'd expect to see a very stiff nut flex a 2' bar a couple of inches. One of these bounces should crack off the nut. 2/ Soak the nut in penetrating oil. Put the bar on so it's horizontal and put your foot on it. Making sure it's not gonna come off the nut, start taking up the flex in the bar. Once there, get a third person to strike the back of the socket with a hammer (firm flat blows (doesn't have to be really hard or anything)). This will basically act like an impact gun.
  3. Spain ....Nothing in UK? although you probably won't find one much cheaper than that Spanish one. I'd imagine that they hold their value on the second hand market too. ...if they ever come up!
  4. another effective method is a hammer and a sharp chisel to knock it around and unthread it. Its a bit of an acquired skill, but once you get it going its comes off easily. Don't hit it on one facet of the nut, vary it.

  6. Where in the UK are you? Might be someone close with an impact gun...
  7. Hello Thanks for your reply. Picture attached. No protruding thread but looking at You Tube videos for other bikes (inc. XT660) they are all right-hand threads, so suspect mine is too, I think now that its just very tight. Asking around a friend has said he had similar when a bike shop fitted his sprocket with a pneumatic impact gun - suggests over-torqueing which is a worry. I didn't own the bike when my sprocket was fitted so can't be sure. May have to talk to my friendly MOT garage and see if they can get it off. It's that or drill the nut and split it

    Suitable for Yamaha mt-09/fz-09 gen3 2020 onwards only. Removed from trade in works great with all aftermarket upgrades like filters, exhausts, de-cats, cheaper than a fixed tune that would need constant retune after every change to the bike, constantly making tuning adaptions no matter the mod for ultimate best fueling for more power and torque and a smoother throttle response at low revs and full. EVO - Plug & play control module & wiring harness Rapid Bike EVO exclusive add-on module puts in your hands total control of fueling operations as it is directly connected to all stock injectors (up to eight) while managing at the same time the corresponding air/fuel ratio. In this way the carburetion values can be modified throughout the entire engine power delivery curve. The ability to manage stock lambda sensor signal allows performing the exclusive auto-adaptive feature to secure that fueling is constantly adjusted while riding the vehicle. The injection map becomes a dynamic value in order to match the changing weather conditions and driving style. This function is highly beneficial at low and medium rpm where the engine performance is poorly limited due to more and more restrictive anti-polluting regulations. Rapid Bike's modules utilise the lambda sensor allowing for a drastic improvement of engine performance and fuel efficiency across the entire rpm range, especially in the closed loop section. All kits come with wiring harness and instruction manual.EVO: With auto-adaptive technology the map is constantly adjusted while riding the vehicle. Connected via the bike specific wiring harness and with free downloadable software the adjustable map can be modified throughout the entire power delivery curve. Will include full install instruction manual. Same day postage. PM me for postage cost

  9. Last week
  10. https://europcustom.com/en/sissybar-yamaha-dragstar-xvs125-xvs250.html This is what I found
  11. There should be enough of the thread sticking out for you to see whether it's a left or right hand thread. A picture of the offending item would help here...
  12. Hi Everyone I'm Richard a new member from the UK Trying to remove the drive sprocket on my 2011 MT-03 660. Bent back the tabs on the tab washer but I can't seem to budge the nut. Don't have a pneumatic impact gun so using a 2 ft long bar, person on bike, both brakes on. Still no-go so I'm wondering if its a left hand thread or there's a trick I'm missing? Don't want to use heat as I have an O-Ring chain, plus not sure if there is a nearby output shaft seal or similar. Any suggestions gratefully received. Richard
  13. Oh wow, guess I will think of something else then, LOL Thanks guys! Much appreciated
  14. Aaah, you found a cheaper one than I did NEO, but yes, both options are out there, apparently only as a 3rd party item...
  15. Well, the good news is a SissyBar is indeed available for 2000 to 2005 models bad news...not cheap! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374879990826?itmmeta=01HW004KJQAFSN3135SP9XB8RD&hash=item574896b42a:g:egoAAOSw4vNkIWZb&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0G8DXxuvcuTkSOjSqvVeE%2BX%2FdCwJp2qK4dG1%2FgE9F%2F4QQ1K%2FWfuIIN7MoaQAgl3UhtSncHbTCbvUOJ3CxMuPe6Lm2fI%2FTlTvx7CbuMXfmsZhVC4EYsPoyTJdA6HVSJi544%2Fldhh007OUXQudEtueUo0CuW6yFSPhUtwNIWJwvdpY4oQ4IOE%2F2Bm%2F8%2FKncij2bFxANNB6c18DvOcSKQDWi8G4jAnZZmMVym7pv2LMAY3HqoMOFoC85qxA6p10cRiP0mX6UclE7ZKMD7mT0euekcc%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7K5koDgYw but now you know what you're looking for!
  16. For the passenger @Snakebite68 I just want to get it so I can set up another bag on top of my panniers, just to have more anchor points for it to be attached if that makes sense. It's 2000, not sure about version tho
  17. The first question appears to be, for the rider or passenger? The second is: What year, what version? 2000? 2001? 2002? 2004? 070A, 070B, 120A, 120B?
  18. Good evening y'all! Got quick question about 125's back rest. Does one exist somewhere on the market? Thanks in advance Yours sincerely Newbie RaySin
  19. Hello and welcome! I will fit the power valve, is it difficult to buy try at a motorcycle disassembly, local websites for motorcycle parts or eBay where you have the best chance of finding the parts. Good luck
  20. Hi all, I am finally sorting out the old DT125LC (1986) we've had in the shed for years. All stripped down, repainting lots of bits and in evenings doing the engine. Will be replacing seals and bearings etc. But the cylinder is worrying me since there is the space for the power valve with both end caps fitted but on opening it up it revealed there is no power valve in there. When we bought the bike years ago it was running and tootled around the farmers yard I bought it from but was in such a state that it was not fully testable. So I'm wondering if once rebuilt whether the engine will run well without a power valve fitted or will I just have loads of issues getting it to run properly like that? Lots of carbon build up on the inside of the end cap I took off so looks like it may have been run like that for a while. Was this possibly something owners did back in the day? Anyway, hoping someone on here has some thoughts. Tried looking for a second hand power valve to put in there but they seem quite rare. Can upload pics if needed. Thanks in advance.
  21. Earlier
  22. Closest I've got is an XSR 125. I'm selling it tomorrow... lol
  23. Who has a TX500 or an XS500 here on the Yamaha Owners Club forum …
  24. How about JASO MA2 specification for oil which is intended for clutches that run in oil … I get to answer myself when I found the answers here https://yambits.co.uk/oils_parts_for_yamaha_xs500.html
  25. What motor oil is recommended to use on the XS500 … Have some other old 4-strokes that I use 10W-40 Semi Synthetic JASO MA2 on that work very well.
