  1. I looked all over aswell, google, ask jeeves, amazon, ebay EVERYWHERE! and nothing only places i found only done them for R1's and R6's always thought you could find anything on the internet lol, but yeah i'm going to see about going to get it repaired and just buy new decals thinks its the best bet to be honest
  2. Got the same issue on my left side fairing which i have just scuffed in 2 places one of which on the decal, and the worst of it is... i was washing it ready for selling which i think tonight i'm arrangeing pick up date and time absolutely gutted and so angry with myself lol did you find any where to get fairings? or got a rough price of the fairings chrisactor?

    yamaha yzf r 125

    Not too long ago i got my 600mile service which cost me £24 sumthng pence... but that included an £8 can of chain oil aswell, that service is free except from parts which is an oil and air filter, and oil change. I think thats what it was only what got done anyway,
  4. Had mine around 2 months now but nope not heard n e thng or had any phone calls about a recall, might look into it though and find out so cheers for that. ian

    Crashed

    You aint lying about the bolt that isn't what yamaha would have used when i was paying for my service one of the mechanics came through with 2 bolts and said " i need two of that size bolt, there both fine but there not the bolts that we've been using..." i kid you not

    Crashed

    When i was down getting my 600mile service i asked the guy in the parts/garage how much new side fairings were and he told me £100 plus £80 for decals so from that to £1200 is pretty steep... well if you put labour ontop of that it still couldnt be so steep a climb
  8. I remember seeing that years ago and i thought it was one of those prototypes that would never make it into production but maybe i was wrong, looks like it would be a great wee toy for the summer
  9. I'm in the same boots as you always wondered when i would finally see these idiotic car drivers out to kill us all, and last week i nearly got took off my bike by 4 of them and 2 of them really gave me the sh*ters, one of which was a guy in a work van doing atleast 50 on a 30 onto a round about that i had just sat patiantly at to get round and when i finally did i clocked him not stopping and jumped on the brakes and he eventually came to a screeching stop a meter infront of me and his face was priceless coz am sure he might have gave his car a wee smell, but i could've killed the guy myself coz that would have been me finished if i never gave it the good old life saver check

    Thanks yeah i agree with what you say you about the courses and things, i've now been looking towards the Yamaha XJ6 and the Kawasaki ER-6N, which are now the bike of choice for me for my next bike, and controlled hooliganism sounds like i could enjoy riding a lot longer and safer so i think i'll be booking my spot on the course when the time comes. Thanks for the replys much appreciated ian

    Thanks for the feedback much appreciated, Yeah i can understand why the thought of just going through the DAS onto a bike like an R6 from an R125 is a bit of a jump but thats just the kind of person i am not always being sensible or even realistic experience wise but still safe none the less, but i've been looking into advanced rideing courses aswell just for more knowledge and to help with bringing down the insurance just that wee bit but had mixed feedback on them, but i will look into the bandits, hornets etc but i've still got until the start of next year before i'll even start doin my DAS so got plenty of time to find what would suit me best and what i'd prefer. Thanks again ian

    Hey, I've been looking at bikes for when i've passed my test when i've turned 21 and i'm intending on moving up to an R6 but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas wot the insurance would be like so i know whether i'm bein realistic or not in that aspect of getting a 600cc, just looking for a ball park sort of figure never minding bout puttin NCB and things into it. Just incase anyone can save me making up some details for that kind of insurance to find out for myself
  13. Just Ian

    Please Help!

    Yup, you'll need to do another CBT, and if your going to move on to a 125cc bike rather than a moped ul do it on that instead.... But Yes you need to do another CBT. ian
  14. I have the spada enforcers and i'm considering looking to buy another pair for it getting colder because i've found me getting really cold hands in the mornings although there is the times where i've found my hands getting swety can't make my mind up on how good they are and whether its worth while looking for another pair haha
  15. Hey, I've been looking and shopping around for a pair of boots to buy myself and as i'm still of that age they have to look good aswell as give me good protection so the "Puma 1000 v2" have caught my eye and just wondered if anyone here has/had a pair and what they thought of them?? I'm open to any recommendations on boots aswell. Thanks
  16. I'm an R125 owner and i would recommend it over the aprilia just because of basically what Billy has said above and for the me yamaha R125 was the obvious choice for me, not as fast but at the end of the day your still learning for the next step up (to a R6 for me) and therefore it's fast enough and will still get you away from the lights fairly quickly
  17. not sure whats happened there with those pics... yeah al give it a go.
  18. Here She is... It is standard still but let me know what use think EDIT: Pics fixed hopefully

    Was unfortunate but it all got sorted whilst i was at work so it didnt effect me too much that way, but now its running like a dream and having a blast, can't say am breaking the engine n in any specific way, i'm taking it easy but i've took it to the red the odd time aswell just to feel how it pulled, not the quickest bike but for my first bike its great and will be good practise and experience when i move onto a bigger bike

    YZF R125

    Picked the bike back up tonight was to do with a bad electrical connection that worked itself loose when i started rideing it... all sorted now and was very reluctant to come home after spending about 3 hours just rideing around in the rain but sadly i've got to catch up on some sleep for work ian

    YZF R125

    Well Guys!!! Picked up the new R125 today just as the garage was closing i might add (this becomes relevant)... Got out and onto it just as it started raining but didn't care i was smiling from ear to ear, was all going great until i got 3miles from the dealership and i noticed the engine management light came on and then the display turned off and eventually the engine cut out!! it started again and i got 1 more mile and it happened again!! and then wouldnt even start, sometimes it was acting as if the battery was dead but then it would start ticking over, but in the end wouldnt start So i got a total of 4 miles out of my bike and ended up taking it home in a break down and recovery van!! not sure whats went wrong, will need to phone yamaha tomorow to come pick it up and sort it out! not happy what so ever but those 4 miles where enjoyable Hopefully it will all be sorted for me to enjoy it tomorow!! ian EDIT: Didn't mean to make this a reply...

    Thanks a lot for that, when did you do your first oil/filter change was that just at the 600miles service am guessing? Yeah the black was what i thought i was going to get but after i seen the red i had my heart set on it, i only had 2 wait a week so it seemed worth while tomorrow after work can't wait hope the weather holds out till i atleast get her home ian
  24. If your going to look into getting an exhaust then the Leovince exhaust for the r125 claims to give u 30% more torque, and sounds pretty good aswell ian
  25. That is possibly one of the best videos for speeding i've seen for making people stop and think about it, really hard hitting video and should be shown on t.v unless it allready has and i've not noticed but i doubt it ian
