The Bar

Hi all Sorry if I've put this in the wrong section, I'm new to this site but desperately need advice. It all started about a week or two ago, I got my ignition barrel changed on my YBR 125 and since then the bike has been struggling to go into neutral, it isn't smooth at all although changing between gears is fine and it's been running perfectly. Anyway, I've had this issue before and it was just that the clutch cable was too loose, so I figured maybe it got loosened during the ignition change, so I thought nothing of it and adjusted the cable today. When I adjusted it the engine was switched off, but I tried flicking it in and out of neutral and it was smooth so I t…

anyone have any ideas what would be best tyre for wear,grip,comfort etc mitchelin pilot sporty,pirelli city demon or metzeler me 22,thanks

Hello Yamaha riders ! I'm 18 years old and I really want a motorcycle. I live in Belgium, and in January 2013 they will change the motorcycle license system: If you are under 24, you have to start for 2 years on a 125 cc motorcycle. I really like the looks of the YBR 125, I've already heard its a good motorcycle but I have some questions about the speed.. I will have to do a dual carriageway where the speed limit is 55 mph ( when there is a lot of traffic, in rush hour, its mostly around 50 - 45 mph) to get to school. My question is, will the YBR be able to do these kind of roads? It's only for 12 miles. I heard from some people it's top speed is only 60…

I want to sell my daughters YBR. Its on 06 plate with 2000miles. Its black. Want to get a bigger bike for her. How much should I ask for it?

This is more an opportunity for you to laugh at me than me asking for advice. Was on my way to college today, my friend was driving behind me. I pull out onto a roundabout and start accelerating towards an exit that goes onto a big bridge. BANG. No power. Manage to quickly run up the slip road with it and put it in a bus stop, after frantically waving my arms around to indicate a breakdown, since my bike has no hazard lights. Chain has came off and completely jammed itself. Had to call a motovlogger for help who's number I happen to have Not a good experience when you've been riding for 2 weeks. http://youtu.be/5BRDa9UhdpA?t=2m25s

hello all I have a problem with the lights on my clocks on my 2007 ybr 125 the thing is the speedo and rev counter lights do not work but the fuel light still works fine I have looked at the bulbs and they look fine to me but they just don't work there are no loose wire that I can see. I would chane the bulbs just to see if its that but cant find them any where or even what kind of bulb they are ( as I'm a noob with bikes lol) can any one point me in the right direction plz any ideas would be great as it has me stumped !

Attention YBR owners, I've heard a common issue with the YBR is a clutch that judders on the last little bit of the clutch throw as you're letting it out, apparently it's been like that for as long as the engine has been around. Anyone found a way to fix this? This judder really is starting to get on my nerves, it's impossible to pull away smoothly without burning my clutch unnecessarily. (And yes, I've tried adjusting my clutch cable a million different times)

Hi all, I just had the clutch changed on my YBR last week (about 35k on the clocks) as it was slipping. Drove away from the shop and happy days it felt great until I was riding over the hills today and I went for the clutch and there's nothing there. I had to change through all gears without the clutch which waa ok until I had to stop facing up a hill which made getting going a little difficult. I took the clutch cable off the engine and there is no resistance at all when I move the lever on the engine. It's like the push rod is no longer engaged to the lever to disengage the clutch. Is there an easy fix or am I going to have to attempt the 50km ri…

Hey guys recently had a small crash on my ybr. Bike was fine but the only problem was I broke my clutch lever. I bought a clutch lever online which came with a new clutch cable, so I decided to change the old one. Changed the clutch lever/cable no problem. I was riding it for a week or so back and forth to work with no problems. Then one morning I tried to ride it. Jumped on and pressed the clutch lever and there's nothing there, no resistance at all. I've adjusted the cable at the lever and the midway point on the cable to there loosest setting but it didn't make any difference to my clutch. I don't understand why this is happening, anybody got any ideas/ advice? p.s I'm…

Right, my front brake is sized on, it seems to be stuck about 25-30% on, I got it running after a while out of the game due to MOT and money problems and went to the shop the get fuel, the fuel had been sitting in the bike for close to 2 months so it needed some new stuff before the 10 mile trip I had to make. But the bike wouldn't move properly, I got to the fuel station, put it on the centre stand and checked, the front brake was stuck on a little bit, and the brake disk was so hot that when I put a few drops of water onto it they boiled before I could withdraw my hand. So, half way through the calliper rebuild I find myself with no idea which brake fluid the bike nee…

On the Newbies' forum, I have been told that if I increase the size of the front sprocket on a 125i YBR it is unlikely to have any effect as the bike probably won't reach a high enough rpm - many thanks for that information. Currently, the bike reaches about 8000rpm, which (according to "Gearing Commander") means a top speed of about 60mph. In reality although I have made it to the mid to high sixties (GPS), in general the bike runs at about 55 to 60mph. My problem is that at those speeds you become prey for vans or small lorries. I find that on dual carriageways, I find myself catching up with them, but as I attempt to overtake I am struggling to do so. I know th…

Im inneed of a fuel pump for a 2009 ybr 125. looked on ebay none there, new its £270 any know off any other bike that has the same pump?

im looking to swap my stock YBR grips for some oxford hot grips (or the dr. bike ones, which appear to be the same but cheaper ), but im not sure if it will be easy enough to fit: most guides seem to show bikes with bar ends, which my YBR (2011 model) doesnt have, but rather the rubber grip covers over the bore in the handlebar is it still practical and easy to fit heated grips? and do i require any more hardware to add (like if the grips allow for bar ends and leave a hole for the screw) thanks

I'm new to motorised 2 wheels and have recently acquired a YBR 125 custom to practice on before I go for Direct Access. The only thing that bugs me is the poor rear vision from my miirrors. Now you may say that its because the YBR is naff or its because I'm not used to cycle mirrors but I dont think the view is good at all. I can see well to the rear left and rear right but if the mirrors were a little longer I'm sure the rear view would be better. Is there anything I can do to improve this? thanks

Hi. Do any of you know where i can get a racing exhaust for my yamaha ybr 125 07 ? many thanks JOSH

One of the lads I work with was telling me you can convert my rear drum break to a disk break dose any one know where I can get this from ?

I was out riding my ybr the other day and in all of the sudden it stalled, but not like the engine was broken. The engine had ran dry on oil, and it ws a bit hot. When I came home (by car..) I filled oil and made sure it was cold enough to try and start it, but i wouldn't. - it has fuel - new oil - spark plug works fine - cylinder goes up and down, with a draft - fuel flows thru the carburetor - air filter is clean and almost new What else does it need? I even tried to fill starter gas straight into the engine and it still wouldn't ignite. Any suggestions?

Right heres the score, The thread on the bracket of the clutch mount, that screws the wingmirror in has been threaded. I have bought the new clip but need some sort ofguide on how to remove the old one(and everything in the way) also fitting the new one. ANY idea what to do, where to start etc.

hi, i now have a 2006 ybr 125, carb moddle bike, the engines had it, popping spluttering on and down on compression and it sounds like a bag of hammers, now i can change the engine like for like, but i can get the newer injector engine with alot less miles. now i know my bike cant take it injector, but what if i took the injector manifold off put the carb one on and changed the ignition pick up, along with the stator plate would that work? as the engines are identical in side and out, the only differences are the injector thanks

hi, i have a YBR125 '61' and have bought the official Yamaha LED blinkers - http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/accessories/?productCode=YBR125&redirect=false - installed them as it shows.. indicator with the resistor in parallel with it and they supply 2 10ohm resistors, i have installed front and rears of these and they flash too fast and are illegal at the speed they flash. does anyone know of any ways to sort out the speed of flashing without installing a new relay? i have tried installing more resistors but still doesnt seem to help. the original bulb indicators were 10w/12v and my battery is 12v. any advice will be much appreciated. thanks. Oli.
