hmm if you paid over the phone on a card then the verbal agreement of 35 quid plus vat and postage he should have given you a total figure then taken card details etc.
he cant then just bill you more as that is fraud i cant understand how you didnt know what you were going pay untill the item arrived and you saw the invoice ??

Yer most will swap and yes there will be an administration charge usually !and the new bike policy may be more expensive so you will have to pay the difference on that too...
I swapped my insurance from a ybr to a varadero and i think it was about £80 extra for like3 months of policy left but i need to get my first years no claims so had to bite the bulllit and pay.
hope this helps

Surely the shop will sort it out when the other bloke comes back with his that dont fit ? other than that its got to be down to the shop to replace yours ?

Make sure whoever sends it to you writes on the side thats its a childs toy or similar saves a few quid when it gets here and it could be a replacement forr childs toy !!!

My rule of thumb is if you think your going "FKit up" then leave it well alone....
May be boring but it saves you money !!!

1L would be more than enough i would imagine best to have too much !! I dont think there is any "best" brake fluid brands as long as its the right sort Dot4 it should be ok..

Yer definately try a new bulb if its not the bulb you will at least have a spare !!

Not a lot you can do without a load of hassel and time !!!is it worth it for £195 take the hit and move on hopefully a little bit wiser ?
We all learn lessons the hard way when were young - maybe if its a dealer then yamaha may come up with something but from what i know these garage "crooks" are experts in hiding the truth..
To be fair with the price they may be getting trade prices for the work done as they send all there buisness to the same company and so are making a charge for the process..
You could even look at it 2 ways 1, the fault "did" just happen and they have sorted it all out for £80 which to me doesnt sound excessive or 2, they have fleeced you but for £80 this doesnt seem right ?
This is presuming the other £115 was for the chain and sproket etc..

well this has been fun and games !!! i contacted yamaha about the problem and they asked me to get a detailed report of work from the garage who expected me to pay a £25 admin fee for the report!
after a few rude e-mails they finally provided a copy of the company they used to re-wire my generator.
they had tried to hide the price with a marker pen but it was easily seen, the price was £53 and they had charged me £80 on my reciept! the total bill was £195.
i have contacted yamaha but have not yet had a reply........
the bike is 7 years old but has not even done 10,000 miles.....
any advice on what to do next ?........

The oil is cheap enough its the thieving government taxes....
That's insane! You'd think the U.S. would cut you guys in on our global oil thievery, err I mean oil surplus derived through nation building.

Hi my 08 carb takes a little while to warm up but not 15 minutes ! unless of coarse you are storing it outside ? mine is usually garaged and only takes a couple of mins to warm up. If parked outside for a few hours then it takes a little longer. Maybe if your bike is outside like all night then 15 mins isnt unrealistic ? i usually start the bile then put all my gear on take locks off etc and then its usually ready to go..

Hmm this is going sound silly but on mine i have a light switch on the right hand side with side light then full light with the high beam switch on the left. If the switch is on side light or full light then they come on as soon as i turn the key on...i dont think your full light should come on only when the engine starts as if you stall at night your light wil go off !!
So not wanting to suck eggs or anything have you played with the light switch on the right ?? If you have and you have changed the bulb it must be a wiring fault from around the light or the swithc wiggle some wires etc..

Hmm i just checked by gear lever ybr125 08 and the level is solid on the shaft no movement at all the lever does move in and out by a mm or 2 but thats just the imput shaft moving back and forth..
If i was you i would have the lever off the shaft and check lever and shaft for worn splines incase the loose lever has worn some , even so it should be able to be tightened down more id get a spanner and tighten it up some more after checking nothing is damaged..

Hi
Have an annoying wierd problem that the plastic covers on the speedo and rev counter seem to be smeared as though someone has tried to clean the inside of them badly !!!!
Now when i try to pull the covers off the clocks they feel as though they would pop off with a bit of encouragement, is the only way to get the covers off to break them off carefully then re glue them down afterwards ?
Thanks for any help

Thats a great website above put in all the details and it tells you what you need !! have ordered some semi synthetic from them !
Also i read that i shouldnt use fully synthetic for a few reasons that i dint actually believe !! but i dont mind changing the oil sooner.
Plus i was told a long time ago never to use slick 50 as it coats a protective membrane around the engine parts but after a while this starts to come away actually causing more problems. i was told to only use it in old smoking engines before selling the vehicle !! but at that price it was not worth it...
you do hear a lot of old stories though !!1
james
The better the oil you put in the better it is for you bike. Go with the fully synthetic and buy branded not cheapest you can find. Cheap means dont last as long so will cost you more in the end
Also look into some stuff called slick 50 for ultimate protection that you drop in to the engine just before you add the new oil
