    09 xt125x headlight problem

    in Yamaha Workshop

    Posted

    hmm,will re-check the connections but im fairly confident that they are all good,the switchgear is spotless & had a squirt of wd40.it only has one fuse,(i believe) & thats located on the starter solenoid & if that blows nothing will work so i thought id narrowed it down to a relay,or,as you suggested,the earth....which seems more likely,the more i think about it.i think i got to nip out into my workshop & check that right now as the curiosity is getting to me, lol.

    hi,high & low beam isnt working on my 09 xt125x,everything else seems ok,including the side light & tail light.i suspect that it may be down to a 5 pin relay located behind the right hand sidepanel,next to the cdi.does anyone know if it could be this relay at fault? (and would it only affect hi/lo beam.) thanks in advance for any advice that is offered.

    R1 4xv dilema - any selling advice?

    hi,due to unforseen circumstances i am forced to consider parting with my 98 r1 4xv & i wondered if anyone has any idea what a realistic asking price (or reserve price if i ebay it) would be? its pearl white & red,red seat model,25k miles with fsh etc,totally standard & in extremely good condition.i havnt used it for a number of years as i didnt want to run the mileage up on it & i been using a 1200 bandit until recently.basically its been mothballed in my workshop but started quite often & given the odd ride now & then to keep everything working.i guess the only consolation about having to let it go would be if its worth decent money.has anyone had any recent experience of buying/selling one? many thanks in advance.

    once again,i agree with cynic regarding warming the plug,i also seem to remember that putting a little pencil lead on the plug was used to aid the spark ( havnt heard that one suggested for quite a while tho....old school) did you know that the spark plug may be sparking when you check it but it may not spark when under compression? seals look like prime suspect tho,as previously suggested by cynic.i picked up a 1971 ts125 duster a while ago,been stood for god knows how many years,was completely covered in ivy,leaning against a shed,you couldnt even see the bike, i got it home & had it running in less than an hour,so,live in hope & if all else fails,rebuild the motor,not too difficult & you couldnt put a price on the satisfaction when it eventually bursts into life.

    hi,is the spark plug getting wet? if its dry it is going to be a fuel problem,possibly the crankseals as cynic has suggested.if the plug is dry,try priming it by pouring a little fuel into the spark plug hole (5ml-ish),i would think that it would at least fire.also;try removing the rubber air filter tube at the clamp at the rear of the carb,block the air intake on the carb completely with your hand/fingers or rag etc,hold the throttle open & kick it over a couple of times,if the fuel system is ok-ish your hand/fingers or rag should be soaked in fuel......hope this has helped :thumb:

    trouble with tzr125cuts out

    its probably the air/fuel mixture screw;it should be screwed in all the way til it bottoms out and then backed out 1 5/8 turns....or,fire it up & with the motor runnig spray some wd40 around the inlet rubber manifold area,if the engine revs change,you probably got an air leak.if you end up having to strip the carb.remove the primary & maim jets,they are inside the float chamber (brass bits) & drop them into some lemon juice,heat it up over your cooker ( the lemon juice/jets....not the carb ) & leave them cool down & stand for a while,pref overnight.blow all the airways and fuel ways,bottom of the float bowl out with an airline (important bit) then re-build them.if that dont work,i will try & get someone else to eat theyre hat !!!!! :jossun:

    im sure that that at some point we have all fitted a jubilee clip/clamp at some time,so,there i was,fitting a jubilee clamp on a radiator hose,10mins later,still trying to get the screw to pick up on the thread to no avail & then realised that it was left hand thread???? why??? i know that left hand thread is common on a crankshaft end etc etc so that a nut/bolt doesnt undo itself but on a jubilee clamp ffs.i have fitted probably hundreds of the things over the years but have never come accross on with left hand thread before,anyone else come accross one? maybe its a one off & worth thousands & i should stick it on ebay - unless i get an offer i cant refuse for it lol. ( no offers of 2 chickens & goat etc lol ) - afterthought - maybe i should have used a left hand screwdriver?

    hi,re dirtydt earlier reply to this topic,how did using super unleaded affect the performance of your bike? im only asking as i have tried using it in the past & it stuffed the performance on my bike until id used up the fuel in the tank,i believe that it was due to the electronic mapping of the ignition system,it couldnt deal with the higher octane content apparently.
