    I sometimes use my daughters YBR on the M27 motorway. I have done nearly 75mph on a good day.... 70mph most days unless uphill or very windy....but 65mph without any trouble...100 mpg sometimes when I don't thrash it!

    :o :o :o :o :o

    I'm just about getting 65MPH..

    Mine is the fuel injected one no carbs to mess about with, i guess the carb'd one can be tinkered around with..

    Heya people im new to the site and just wanted a little info bout my ybr 125, well... ive had this bike about 4 months now second hand of my big brother has done 1644miles , im a 20 year old lad, does this bike go faster then 60mph im a heavy lad i way 16 n a half stone, a few of my friends say that every 125cc bike should do 70mph ?? i dont know wheather its because im too heavy or if its been run in proply yet or if its even ment to be driven any faster or is there any restrictors in the manafold exhaust etc... just like a bit of info really any help much aprieciated thanks..

    hey there,

    :welcome: to the site..

    nice choice of bike, i have a ybr125 myself, been on her for about 10 months now..

    i just about (on a good day, with no wind, going downhill, on a full stomach) get around 65mph out of her..

    im a slim guy, and not heavy at all, getting 60mph for me is as far as it would go!!

    4 stroke 125cc bikes, arent fast.. period..

    regardless, ybr 125 is the way to go for a learner bike, easy to handle, and no worries if, in a worst case, is dropped, cos the stiff footpegs take most of it!

    source: having dropped it myself, due to a drunk pedestrian, and a wet road!

    hope this helps.. any questions, post them up, im sure somebody would be willing to help..

    mirror-breaker has a new tactic!!

    fair play, i apologise for using words like that.. didnt know it would be offensive to people, if i decide to insult myself :P

    sorry

    anyhow, acid drop, believe, or dont believe, up to u mate.. i just felt it would be right to warn people about idiots who are on the fone, and decide to overtake moving buses..

    im not going to turn around like a few ppl on online forums, and start insulting others, and just vanish from the forum altogether.. i find this a useful tool, and a nice online community, have recommended it to many many people..

    id rather not argue and act like a twat who just is all talk - i would rather apologise and take the man way out;

    for all that i offended, i am sorry.. for your information, im an asian pakistani myself, and if it were to be read carefully, i was referring to myself.. once again, im sorry if this offended any other asians/non-asians on this forum, and i assure it will not happen again..

    [REMOVED] he has ROAD RAGE :icon_evil: ..

    but its all for the right reasons.. them pedestrians (with baby prams/pushchairs, on 2 occasions) who seem to think that i can see through double deckers and trucks! them drivers who are busy having a domestic over the fone... or them bmw/merc/jag/etc. drivers who unecessarily take up both lanes whilst turning!

    Knocking windows with gloves was first, but thought it didnt have enough impact to teach 'em a lesson (breaking windows is out of the question - criminal damage and all that malarky)

    Then came along my signature wing-mirror-adjuster! :lol: About 3 mornings out of 5, on my commute to uni, London traffic!! slap mirror, and filter thru!! HAHA was great fun.. Became addictive after having chased a fat racer boy through stratford, to slap his mirror, and realise its one of them chavvy hard non-folding ones, and the look on his face as it broke off!!

    But today, found a new one! Must admit, accidently, in the heat of the moment.

    TW*T had decided to overtake a fecking MOVING BUS!!

    Okay, if its at a bus stop, understandable - Still, I dont give way, might do, if theres PLENTY of space

    But this TW*T overtook a moving bus whilst a fone was dug into the side of his fecking head, completely oblivious that theres an angry ill-tempered c*nt like me on a motorcycle!! Lucky nobody was behind me! :angry2:

    Popped my horn for a good few seconds, he did his emergency stop, i did mine, and were head to head, and i did not move an inch!! HAHA, as the bus went, he tried to swerve around me, and came the mirror-adjuster.. but hey, something felt different, felt like the door handle!! HAHA, was pure genious, and a good laugh watching him in my mirrors!! driving down the road, door flapping around!! OMG!! pure kodak moment, serves him right tho! TW*T W*NKER B*STARD SILLY C*NT

    :sorry: rant over :sorry:

    YBR125 coughs and splutters when thottle is quickly opened from fully closed

    in The Bar

    Posted

    Hi all,

    My problem is exactly as the title really.

    The YBR125 coughs and splutters when the throttle is quickly opened from fully closed - if you do it more slowly though it is not a problem.

    Idling speed is fine.

    I've cleaned the spark plug and this seems fine.

    Could it be the carburetor / air intake that needs cleaning or is it perhaps that the engine cope with a large air intake do you think?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks.

    hi there,

    is the bike properly warmed up, not sure about coughing and so on, but on mine there does seem to be a lag when the engine is cold, and this is normal (or so i believe).. it goes away after a few mins..

    try checking the carb/air intake as mentioned..

    hope this helps

    There is nothing like a road trip on a bike except a road trip on a bike and camping with beer and a BIG fire.

    Well, i dont drink :unsure: , but the camping and the fire bit WILL be done sometime soon (when funds permit) - going to take a few local riding buddies with me.. :D

    Looks like a good trip mate, triumph shop you stopped at (if its the one in Woburn) is about fifteen minutes from my house yet I've never been there :lol:

    Yup, was the one in woburn! (they dont stock anything else, but triumph branded goods) was coming down the A5 and starving and needed the toilet!!

    Stopped at a layby to stretch my legs and relax for a few mins, and seen a quite a few ppl pulling up, and pissing over in the bushes!! was tempted, but thought, naaaaa! ;)

    Promised myself that i'd get off at next junction, and found the Triumph shop..

    Wanna say thanks for taking the time to look thru the pics :D

    It is not about the cc in your pocket but it is about where you have put that cc

    I put it into my tour!! been and got back, was a nice journey learnt MANY things, and is such an experience!!

    Had a good time - took the A5 straight up, due to leaving on Sat rather than Friday..

    The original route up, as mentioned in previous posts was actually scrapped, as i was okay with the A5 all the way.. had a few pitstops!! Nice easy cruise at 50MPH (well, that all it could do all loaded up with luggage)

    The journey up was LOVELY!!!

    Had a good ride on Sunday - was with a biker mate who goes to the same uni in london, he happens to live in b'ham though, so gave him a call - went around Meriden and Warwick!! Coventry!! Been around Meriden and them country lanes in my car quite a few times, BUT a TOTALLY DIFFERENT experience on two wheels..

    Same as riding thru St. Albans, the A5183 that goes up there, its like a nice windy (whine-dy, not win-dy :blink: )

    road, shaded off by trees!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Didnt really appreciate it in the past driving thru in a car!

    Journey back - it started to PISS down on Monday!! Stopped at a friendly carwash place in the middle of nowhere!! Had waterproofs - stopped to wear them but rain stopped and the sun came out stupidly bright (or so i thought) - so im riding along, and all of a sudden, it comes back with a vengance!! No where to stop for a good few miles!!

    Took quite a few fotos, uploaded to my facebook profile - CLICKY..

    Where do you get the metal panniers

    heres a few pics of my build, for inspiration.. the pipe runs from the pillion footpegs - the rear rack was removed, and the pipe runs thru the hole left on either side of the seat.. mouted on where the footpegs were, and the top end mounted where the rear rack was mounted.. it needed a little squashing to get under the seat tho, but fairly strong..

    n729425561_7587809_5747695.jpg

    this is the back of the cases:

    6291_212714420561_729425561_7587989_8336467_n.jpg

    the back of the cases - i have riveted an 'n' shaped bracked (or upside down 'u' shape), and this fits into the pillion grabrail.. theyre spaced out as wide apart as they can be, yet still get onto the grabrail - so its a snug fit..

    in between the brackets, down low, you will see a hole, this hole lines up with a hole on the chrome pipe, bolt from the outside, and a wing-nut on the inside, removing is fairly easy, but sometimes awkward as the contents need to be removed first.. ive just kept them stuck on, been just about fine going thru traffic! its shorter than the mirror-to-mirror distance!! only 8 litres each, but works well for me - without adding on too much weight, and maintaining the ability to filter thru the london traffic!! ;)

    hope this helps somebody :mellow:

    and if anybody happens to be in/around east london, gimmie a shout if you'd like to see them in person! ;)

    Ive decided to use vanity cases, from fleebay! theyre not too tough, but good enough for my tour, which i just got back from yesterday!! pics of my tour over on facebook! (clicky)

    Where do you get the metal panniers

    Posted

    Hi I have just purchased a ybr 125 and saw a sie with the best lookinh panniers for it. Can anyone enlighten me as to where to get these metal panniers for my yamaha ybr 125

    this is the site with the pic its the 2005 ybr 2nd pic

    http://www.re-moto.com/the_motorcycles.php?lang=eng

    them particular ones were custom fabricated, but there are options available - but a bit too expensive!!

    you caught me at the right time, as im going on my first tour on saturday, ive got 1 day to fabricate a pair of panniers.. look out for my post when im done! ;) (knowing my projects, id just recommend a pair of "givi monokey" cases - try busters/m&p for the racks)

    and must say, ybr125, perfect 1st bike!!
