To reply to myself ... Fitted them with no problem at all and passed the MOT They have the legend YAMAHA YBR125SP cast into them, which looks like one of the (many) non-UK variations on this bike. They certainly seem genuine, although in this world of counterfeits one can never be sure...

Hi, I need a couple of replacement front forks for my late '06 YBR125. The Yam dealer quoted me £250 EACH, which brought the tears to my eyes. I've found a couple of alternatives from Brooks Barn at £100 each, who say they will fit, but the are non-UK spec (they have reflectors on them). I just wondered if anyone had any experience of these; I can only assume they use non-official European imports, but I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks Martin

Hi guys, New to bikes and have an '06 YBR125 for commuting. Since I don't live near any large dealers, does anyone know of an online source of spares and nick nacks? Just looking for oil drain plug washers and can't find them anywhere. I'll also need a chain/sproket set before long.. Thanks in advance Martin

Thanks for your reply, I managed to confirm the bulb type via another route. Saw the ones you mention on eBay, but bought a similar clear one instead. I think as long as it's halogen it should be an improvement. The other problem was that the headlight "glass" (plastic) looked slightly "milky" which wasn't helping light transmittal. Having trawled around, there are various plastic polishing potions and lotions, but I took it off and gave it a damn good wash with washing up liquid. It's come up a treat. There was what looked like a fine white deposit on the inside of the glass. Don't know whether this can be caused by bulbs blowing or whatever. Moral is, a simple clean often works wonders. Anyway, hoping for a better view of the road from now on....

Hi guys, Complete newbie to bikes and have acquired an '06 YBR125. Good so far, but as other posters have commented, weedy headlight. At this stage don't have the time to go into separate lights or upping the power, so am just looking for a "quick fix" replacement bulb before the nights draw in. I've seen some 35/35 halogen ones on Ebay, and they say they are BA20D (395) type. I've taken my existing bulb out and none of the (extensive) markings contain "BA20D" or "395". Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the correct bulb type (I won't hold you to it)? Thanks in advance.. Martin
