    Hey you guys.....((in a deep yet childlike voice, like the fat kid from The Goonies)) Just got a YBR125 a few weeks ago. its a 57 plate in Black. I used to ride many years ago but progressed to a car when family needs dictated it. Now I've downsized my car to free up cash so I can start riding again. Retaken my CBT last month and hoping to progress to something bigger but not in any rush. I'm hoping to maintain it myself so will probably be asking for help and advice along the way. There's already a few questions, to be asked so I'll probably see you in the forums. Thanks In Advance SI

    Hello all, my name is Jeff. I've owned Yamahas since '84. My first was an '82 Seca Turbo, that was a FUN bike with a capital GO! Next was an '02 Warrior, can you say 'Hot Rod'? I now have a '12 FJR, yet to reach the 600 mile mark so no romping yet. Next year I'll be heading out on a two month motorcycle camping tour of the US. I look forward to reading up and getting to know you. Jeff

    I'm not only new to these forums, but new to being a Yamaha owner. The main reason I joined is because Reddit's Yamaha section leads here and I needed help with my bike. It's an old HT1-90 Enduro (prolly 1970) and I've cleared up most of the problems with it. We thought the oil pump was broken, but it seems like the gas line is pulling in air from somewhere; possibly the on/off valve (I don't know the mechanical term for it). So that problem is fixed, hopefully. The only issues I seem to have now are that I don't know what type of oil to buy for filling the crankcase and my air filter is gone. The crankcase missing oil because I'm dumb and took the case off to repla…
