Hey. I brought a YBR125 a couple of weeks ago quickly after buying the bike realized that the issue tool kit wasnt there. (kind of expected) but i was wondering if anyone knew where / if you could pick one up. Thanks

Hi all, first time poster here, hoping the good people of the owners club can help me with my problem. I bought my first bike 3 weeks ago. Its an '11 YBR 125. The bike has 200 miles on it I have two questions. Sometimes it is really hard to get the bike into neutral. It either skips neutral and jumps to 2nd or says its in neutral (Light comes on) but jerks forward if I release the clutch. Is this something to worry about? If it is a problem, how do I fix it? Will it go away with more miles? My second question is After I turn the bike off, I hear clicking coming from the engine What is it? Much love to anyone that helps and any…

Hi! I was wondering if there are any saddle bags or panniers that would fit onto the luggage wrack on my ybr custom? if you guys could suggest some makes i'd really appreciate it! thanks.

I was thinking the other day what made me like motorbikes. None of my 3 sons are into bikes althought Matt my oldest (27) has just bought a ped to comute on and Al had an Aprilia ped when he was 16. My Dad had bikes because no one his age had cars back then and his dad was the first in his street to have a car. Dad got into bikes ,more than just comuting .he had various bikes an Aerial 350 being one his favorites, his first new bike was a Triumph Tiger 100 which he sold to put a deposite down on his first flat.My Uncle Harry had a Vincent Black Shadow,and dad and his mates Spent all there spare time(when not playing football) racing around the North circular and …

i recently bought a YBR125 and i'm getting more confident at cornering and stuff now, i find myself at full throttle most of the time and when pulling onto the dual carriageway i'm accelerating up to about 9500 rpm in 3rd and 4th to get some speed up. i'm just wondering if this is thrashing the bike a bit hard? most of the time I'm sat in 5th gear doing about 60ish mph (indicated) at about 8000rpm. also the bikes only done 3600 miles, is this past the running in phase or is running in a thing of the past these days? thanks for any advice, being a newbie i'm a bit unsure as to how much i can push it without breaking it!

This maybe a bit of a nooby question but if you don't ask you don't know! Basically as a new rider I'm just about managing to get to grips with everything but one thing I think would make my life a hell of a lot easier is if I could tell what gear I was in... Is there such thing as a gear reader I could buy that shows what gear I'm in?!

Anyone from round these parts on here? none of my friends ride bikes, (one does but has an issue with bike theft that follows him around) and need someone with common interest as to not irritate with bike passion!!

Hi guys, I am in need of some 33bhp washers for my 1997 thundercat. Does anyone know where I can get some secondhand, I dont really want to spend £270 on small washers which im going to take out in a year or so. On a similar note is there anyone on the forum using an throttle stop as a restrictor ?

Hi Lads & Ladesses.... I've noticed when turning on the ignition of my Fazer a series of clicking noises that lasts for a few seconds. It sounds like it's coming from around the switchgear somewhere. The bike always starts and is running well. Any ideas ? Or am I just hearing noises ??? Cheers in advance

Yes i know its been in all the papers that we will be living in igloo's tommorow but. Last year the TDR played sulky just as the weather turned to ratshit, this morning it dumped the better part of a litre of liquid gold from the left carb (thats after struggling home on 11/2 cylinders )so i had to go back in the car.... So back to the DT now then, heh neighbours will be chuffed at 0400 tommorow.....

Hi there guys, The front shocker on my YBR125 has started leaking. Been looking for new ones but all i can find are seals. Is it just a case of topping up the oil and replacing the seals? If so which oil should be used. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hey folks! Was in Belfast recently, had some time to kill so headed to local bike dealer. Oh my god. Think I need to sell a kidney cos I've seen so many nice new toys it's crazy. Crafty bugger salesman saw me drooling over new Yams & homed in like a heat-seeker! Had a gorgeous new White R1 & a nice black/White R6 sitting, the bugger is trying to tempt me with test rides. Why do we torture ourselves!! I should've went to B&Q instead.

I have just bought myself a Yamaha MT-03. I love it except it has a few intermittent problems. 1. It cuts out at some point during most journeys, usually when I am accelerating after slowing to under 15mph or when I am pulling away from a standstill. It is not just a case of me stalling the bike. 2. When riding, if I open the throttle fully nothing will happen or the engine will stutter, then it feels like I have suddenly been rear-ended. Again, this a few times happens on most journeys. 3. When riding with the throttle in the same position the bike keeps accelerating and decelerating by a couple of mph and will sometimes suddenly decelerate The bike is a…
