    YBR 125 2011 Model - In need of parts.

    in Yamaha Workshop

    Posted

    Hi again Scott, Most of that stuff you can do your self, ball races and such are usually knock out knock in, new wheel, well they are out there in the net at a lot cheaper price and some even come with a good tyre on them, oil seals seem a bit strange, did you damage the engine or are they the ones on the bearings? Christ mate you really did a number on your poor little bike didn't you, as DT says sounds like a complete front end, might be possible to pick one up from a breaker at a lot less money and fit it yourself. Try to find out if a front end off another bike a year or two older will fit on your bike, they are usually the same just updates on the shiny bits mostly, ask your local dealer what the difference between your bike and a slightly older one is and see if you can save yourself some money. good luck mate. :jossun:

    P S I think the one in bold MIGHT be RETAINER for the ball race in the head stock, not sure about that tho.

    Hello, newbie here - please advise me.

    Hi Tom, Wecome to the YOC, lots of guys and girls on here with 125s so they might be able to help out, Welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling the guy who showed you it running might give you a few tips on why it won't start so first give him a call and ask what you might be doing wrong, sometimes bikes will only start if you do things in a certain order, make sure it's not in gear when you turn it over and make sure there is FRESH petrol in it. Other than that do your next post in the "WORKSHOP" section, look to the left side of the front page on the site and about 3/4 of the way down, as this section is really only for new members to say Hi and you might not get anyone else to give advice if your not in the right place with your query. Good luck mate hope you get it sorted always a bugger when you have not owned a bike before and it plays up as you only know how to fix it after you've floundered around for a while finding out a hundred different things you never knew existed before. People on here are always willing to help out a new guy just let everyone know your a complete novice and don't have a clue where to start. Oh and DO NOT charge your bike battery with a CAR charger it will cook it, you need a bike battery charger, ebay does them for about 8 quid. :jossun:

    Broken Stud Removal help

    in Yamaha Workshop

    Posted

    Hi Mattew, Got exactly the same problem on my project bike, I used a drill to remove most of the thread and then heated it until it was really hot then plenty of penatrating fluid left over night and then a small drift to knock the thread out ( make a small flat spot on the stud you can see and just keep tapping at it until it moves) the next day with LOADS more WD40 and oil mix plus more heat. The only other way is to take the head off and take it to your local friendly engineering shop but they will remove the stud AND the thread and recut it all for you, not a cheap option. Tried stud removers in the past but they tend to spread the stud that your trying to remove and jam in the hole plus you have to use the smallest one in the set which has less grip on the metal and can just make things harder after you've finally given up and started swearing at it. The only real advice is to be really patient and just keep heating it and knocking away until you can grip the bugger and turn it. Wish you luck mate. :jossun:

    Hi Barry. Welcome to the YOC, It's best if you want parts to go to the "WANTED" section on the front page and leave your requirments there as no one will sell you bits in the "NEW MEMBER" sections it's only for your intro, Some one might have your parts but you will have to wait a while for them to get back to you. As an aside try fleabay and see if they might have your parts or WEMOTO are quite good at Yam parts. :jossun:

    P.S forgot to mention the "WANTED" section and some others are only open for paid up members so if you want to post there you will have to pay your dues, easy really just go to link (SUBSCRIPTIONS) on the top of the front page and follow the prompts.

    Hi Drew, You need to INTRO yourself before asking for advice mate, otherwise no one will answer your questions, there are a LOT of one hit wonders that show up here and ask for advice on their problems and then vanish, not saying your one of them but it's only polite to intro your self before asking, imagine your in a pub and you start asking strangers for advice about your bike in all likelyhood your will be invited outside for a discussion in manners or the lack of. So play nice and say Hi in the "NEW MEMBERS" section then ask again someone will have a fix or workround for you before the ink dries. :jossun:

    Hi Tom, welcome to the YOC, been riding bikes since I was 14 and now nearly 60, still love it but roads are much busier and cars much much faster then back in the day, 125s are neat little bikes and have a surprising turn of speed plus A & B roads are ideal for this type of bike, it's fun to ride a bike but there are down sides the weather being one of them, make sure you have a descent set of wet weather gear and if poss something warm to go under it, you will look like the michellin man but being warm and dry makes the whole experience much better, a crash hat should be the best you can afford as you only get one head & banging your nut on the ground when you fall off is bloody painful with the wrong type of helmet. Do your CBT and go from there I'm sure you will enjoy your time on your new toy. :jossun:

    Hi Jordan, might help if you fit an alarm, try fleabay, don't cost much and at least you can hear it going down the road when they steal it :crying: . Tho to be honest if they want it they will get it, you can nail it to the ground and lock it to a post and they will still get it, mate of mine had the full bunny on his and had it locked to a post sunk in the ground with a theif proof padlock and chain and they stole the post and lock as well, this from right outside his bedroom window, aint nothing you can do I'm afraid, you could try that intelligent water stuff that has you DNA in it, only costs about £40 but it only identifies the bits of your bike after they have stripped it. Otherwise park it in the kitchen or living room and sleep next to it, that MIGHT work I suppose. :biglaugha:

    error / bug or something

    HI Paul. It might be that one of your memory modules is not working or about to fail, "OUT OF MEMORY" is the thing that gives it away or you are running to many programs at the same time and memory is short. Try turning everything off that your not using and get rid of any on screen gadgets as these will eat up any spare memory. playing music and watching vids can also use more memory than you expect as they are dependant on content. Of course it might be that your laptop is crap and there's an end to it!! :rofl:
