Hi there ! Im currently driving a yamaha ybr 125 (fuel injected modle) ive put a new exhaust on it and air filter but as expected ive got a few flat spots in the acceleration so im looking at getting this Chip to help me out. im not expecting it to fly me to the moon or shoot like a rocket but im just looking on getting the flat spots sorted and also for the acceleration to be a bit more sharp and for me not to end up going backwards when i get a gust of wind heres the item im thinking about http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280568486369&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT like i said i was just wondering if it would be any good a…

Hi All, I removed the motor from the bike to paint the frame etc and rebuilt the bike, i had the carbs bead blasted, cleaned them out and replaced the pilot jet and float needles. I also replaced the inlet balance rubbers. On starting the bike it has developed a flat spot and only improves with the choke on, one side exhaust is running hot and the other a lot colder. i also replaced one exhaust for a better condition one. Would replacing main slide needle and jet help and also reed valves? Or should i strip the carbs again and check for blockages? The motor ran fine before which is also a bit confusing, any sugestions will be greatfully recieved. Thanks, Mick.

A few questions i really need help with, hopfully some of you motorbike lovers can help me,, 1. Where on earth does the coolant hose/ water pipe go ?! there is literally nowhere it CAN go on my bike :\ 2.How can i make my throttle more responsive? its got a nice bit of boost at higher revs, but before got a new cylinder kit ( 50cc parmakit) and piston kit, it used to run with the boost as soon as you pulled the throttle, now it takes time and takes ages for that boost to kick in... 3. How far /fast can i go to run my new stuff in, as above ^ ?... Iv been told about 300 miles not exceeding 30mph, but my fooken speedo doesnt work lol, iv been guessing going …

Desperately trying to find a good used TDM900 front wheel, anyone help? plenty of 850 ones about but not the later 900 :-( Regards, Mark

looking to get an r6 i have 3.5k to spend i'm interested in low insurance all pre 2004 are group 14 witch is a bonus when your 22. 2000-2003 Love the 2003 the most upto date without going to group 15. The only problem i can see is its the first edition to have fuel injection (was this a problem) are the earlier carb'd models a better ride? thanks in advance matt

hello everyone ive had my radiator cap pinched on my yamaha yzf r125 and im trying to find a replacement but theyre bloomin expensive i was wondering if anyone knows what pressure the valve should be for it any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

I removed the rear wheel to replace the tire. After reinstalling the wheel the clutch will not disengage. When i pull on the lever, every thing moves back an fourth. It did seem looser then before the tire change. I tighten the slack nuts on the lever but still no change. With engine off, I can put it in gear and back to neutral with the foot clutch petal. when the engine is on, it catches an stalls out when i put it in first gear. It has a drive shaft. Could i have hit some thing or not put it back together right? Im stumped, i thought they were two different things.

The turbo's first run in 18 years now the boring work starts, Bodywork lol

Hi guys, so got my first bike on the road and after some subtle mods and some new parts, shes looking mint, i've decided after 2000miles and not knowing its past that its time to change the chain and sprocket set i was wondered if changing the front sprocket from a 14 tooth to a 17 tooth would make any difference at all? Thanks for your help! Ollie................ DO not worry! just read an interesting post about 125 sprocket changing, which has lead me to think, get it, its only a 5er but keep the old one in case this ruins my gearing and possibly top gear pulling power..... Thanks.

I just bought a 1996 XJ600 Seca II With 8,000 miles on it. When I got it it tried starting but wouldn't (carbs needed cleaned). Yesterday I spent all day very thoroughly cleaning the carbs, gas tank, petcock, blasted out all the fuel lines. I then reassembled it and tried to start it, I had to try cranking it for almost 20 minutes before finally it started. I rode it about 80 miles last night then parked it. This morning I go out to get on it and it wont start, Ive checked the ignition system and I have good spark on all 4 plugs. Tried jumping it off (in case the brand new battery was weak), didn't help. I definitely have fuel being pumped from the tank into the carbs and…

Where can i get my hands on a good but cheap DT/RD 125 or bigger engine from.?.

Hi, I'm new to this forum so apologies for any errors in posting. I have a TW 125, believe it's 2003. It has been running fine for a few weeks, then one day it just wouldn't start (nothing at all). Managed to bump start it fine to get it home. On inspection one of the two fuses has blown (20 amp) but with a replacement in there still seems to be no current going to the starter. The ignition is fairly damaged from an attempted theft, but this has been no problem before. I turn the ignition on and the lights light up, indicators work etcetera. Kill switch is off, sidestand up, clutch in but the starter just does not spin. Any ideas or things to check first…

I just bought some 4" risers for my 1100 and the cables are too tight. I think I would have enough slack in the lines if I just rerouted them to the inside of the triple tree. Not quite sure the best way to do this. Do I undo each cable at the handle bar and move it around back? Do I remove the top of the triple tree? Will I have to bleed the brake line? I thought this was going to be a nice easy install, now I'm not so sure. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys, 1st March got a brand new Yamaha YZF-R125, and love it, I wore the engine in properly, went over 6k revs sometimes by accident (more concerned with the road than my revs!) but I am sure it never went much over 6.5k for any longer than a second or two, I doubt it is THAT precise. Anyway, where I live the road camber is a bit of a bitch, and some mornings I dont give it enough juice, it stalls, fair enough, but when I push the starter again it just keeps going grgrgrgrgrgrgr and never turns on, and if it does it sounds slow and clunky, whereas if I switch it off, wait a few secs, and turn back on, its fine. Is this normal? Also, I know its only a 125, but at …

Well this is the 2nd of the turbo's, the first needing engine work so abandoned for now Exhaust's were undercoated in simoniz heat dispersant and topcoated in Pj1 work's fairly well Body work now being prepped for paint, new decals arrived from U.S. and were a very good match What's been done so far Full frame blast and repaint Engine Soda blast and repaint (pj1 again Very good stuff) Carbs overhauled Stainless braided hoses and ebc pads upfront Polished hangers Much more More to follow soon

Hi All, The headlight on my Yamaha Sr 125 is broken, and I've been trying to replace it -- but I did not expect it to be such a hard job! I can't find the replacement anywhere including eBay. I also tried to get some sort of standard 7-inch light -- but it didn't fit into the bracket. Can anyone advise me on what headlights I can use (possibly from other Yamaha models?) Many thanks, Paul.
