    Caliper Overhall Sr125 - Oh god, please help me.

    Hi Thomas, looked at that link DT sent you, apart from the handle being ground down it looks ok BUT if it's had a trip down the road on the brake lever I would buy one of the other ones cos it will have had a lot of stress from being damaged the way it is might even have damaged the bolt/housing where the brake handle slots into. not saying it is damaged but the others were near perfect and not much more money. :eusa_doh:

    VStar 1100 Footboard to footpeg conversion

    Hi Again and welcome to the YOC, dont worry I'm 60 this year so know how you feel about these bloody new fangled boxes of electronics, at least it is warmer where you are than here, just been out and it's bloody freezing, I see you found the WORSHOP section and I also see that you have posted your question again, may I suggest that you put your question in a slightly different way, no offence intended but it is a bit joe blunt. explain what you want to do and why and some one will rock up with a fix for you, you could also use the SEARCH (top of page on right) section and type in what you want and you might be lucky and find that some one has already left a post with just the fix you need, if not then EDIT your original post in workshop with a bit more info about what you want to do. Other than that it's always nice to meet new people and hope you find what your looking for, if not PM me (click on my name and leave me a message) and I will try to find it for you as I'm sure I saw this topic a while ago. Martin. :jossun:

    Hi, Welcome to the YOC, it's nice that you have had so many bikes but that not withstanding this is the "INTRO" section and that was not an intro that was a QUESTION and so should be in the "WORKSHOP" section if you would be so kind, I think you will find that several people have done the foot peg conversion but as some say on here "NO INTRO NO INFO" it's just that we get a lot of one hit wonders who ask for advice and are never seen again so we like to know who we are talking to and we like them to become part of the family so to speak, so once again welcome and hope you enjoy your stay. :jossun:

    P.S. Perhaps you might do you intro again with a bit of info about yourself & where your from.

    Yamaha xt 125 r 06 dirt in carburettor

    Hi Sam, Your fuel filter is usually inside the tank above the fuel tap, only way to get at it is to take the fuel tap off (usually 2 screws) and full it free, you will then usually see a tall mesh filter. As for your fuel pouring out it's probably a stuck float valve, these wear after a while and need to be replaced, they are a short plastic thing with a small metal cap that goes into a housing just above the float, sometimes there is a seal that it goes into and you should replace this as well, it could be that your float is actually leaking and to test this take it off and dunk it in to some warm water and see if you get bubbles if you do re[place this as well. You might also have crud in the tank, fuel isn't as clean as we would like so dirt and crud floats about until it settles and then gets sucked into the carb. You might also think about putting an inline filter between the tap and carb, most car shops have someting that will do the job but try to get ne that lets you unscrew it so you can clean it out on a regular basis. Hope some of this helps. :jossun:

    XVS 950 Double up on Indicator Wiring?

    in Yamaha Workshop

    Posted

    Hi Andrew, should not be a problem with overload & the wiring will be fine, to low an amperage for it to get hot or degrade, LEDs are just about the same as bulbs for power requirements and some even run better indicator relay will also be fine as LEDs usually draw less currant then bulbs. Hope that helps a bit. :jossun:

    P.S when you say SADDLE BAGS do you in fact mean PANNIERS (fixed to a frame then fixed to the bike) rather than throw over soft bags that are put on and take off?

    Single cylinders always run different to twins or multis, your bike is meant to do long runs at reasonable speeds not potter around town, it will always feel lumpy if your trying to use it for short journeys. It is after all a 650cc machine and is designed to work hard over long distances. As for the problem with the tickover I suggest that you get someone to look at the timing or carb settings.

    Determining year of manafacture

    Hi Venla, This area is for your INTRO mate not where you ask questions. Other than that you should be able to get the year and such by using the engine or frame number at your local Yammie shop. Now please redo you intro if you would be so kind. Oh and if you put this question again use the "WORKSHOP" section on the front page. There are some on here who will not answer questions until you have done a proper intro, look out for "NO INTRO NO INFO" Other than that Welcome to the YOC it's always nice to have new people join in. :jossun:

    Replacing Fork Seals

    in Yamaha Customs

    Posted

    Hi Grim, Just replaced my own fork seals, you will need to undo the allen key on the bottom of the forks to get the inner plunger out after you have released the top fork plug (above spring) take care as spring is under tension, then remove allen key, you will need to find some way of stopping the inner fork plunger from rotating while you turn the allen key, I think you will need to hold the lower fork leg in a vice (use an old belt or something similar to prevent it from moving and getting scratched) then use the upper leg to jar out the lower fork seal as it is in to far to get at it any other way ie use the upper leg as a slide hammer, you just slide it back and forth until the seal pops out of the lower leg, be prepared to sweat over this as it is a bit of a bastard to really get it out. DO NOT clamp the lower stancion in the vice unless it is well packed around or you will crush it or even bend the pipe, I used the lower brake mounting bolt plate as an attachment. Wish you luck mate, all of this should be in your Haynes anyway. :jossun:

    Hi Chossy and a very warm welcome to the YOC, nice one mate and I'm sure someone will have just the fix you need. Lots of guys on here who are stuffed full of useful bits of knowledge plus there are a few who are stuffed with someting else but let's not go there! :jossun:

    more power?

    Hi AD, might be nice if you did an INTRO mate not just rock up and start asking questions, I'm sure someone will be able to help you out AFTER you have introduced yourself, a LOT of guys on here work on the theory that if you give "NO INTRO you get NO INFO". Having said that it might be an idea to list a few of the things you have done so no one duplicates what you've already done, if it's only doing 50mph then there is certainly something wrong you just need to give more details. Don't be put off by not getting an answer straight away you just need to say Hi first, their nice people on here but wary of strangers and one hit wonders. :jossun:

    2002 Thundercat Hotwired / Stolen Not working.

    Posted

    Hi Chossy, As this is your first post mate it should be and INTRO not a question, plus if your mate has a Yam then why doesn't he join himself and save a lot of hassle, that said it's kind of you to try to help him out but really it's putting the cart before the horse if you have to run back and forth with answers that might come in. Plus we only have your word that you are in fact his mate and not the guy who stole it!! no offence meant and none taken I hope but you could be anybody and we could be helping you to steal his bike. Plus on here a lot of people WILL NOT give advice without an intro, to coin a phrase "NO INTRO NO INFO. :jossun:

    With a bit of luck it MIGHT just be the old pin you put back in that caused the problem if so you should still be able to reuse your piston even if you have to replace the rings, always try to be positive mate there's enough shit in the world without making more of your own. Good luck. :jossun:
