  1. There's a really small space between the peg and gear, I wonder if its adjustable? Two lady owners, maybe been adjusted? Defo feels like there's not enough room to get toe up and under. Hmm, so double click up maybe?

    My YBR 125

    The Noob getting started
  3. Thanks fellas, cbt was ace! The morning started off with just myself doing cbt, 2 other guys doing Direct Access. I had a Chinese bike Lexmoto (Indiana?) cruiser, totally changed my opinion on them. Felt great, built up my confidence slowly, gradually going through the gears before hitting the road. I felt the instructor Andy built me up, knocked me down (figuratively) built me up again so forth...then the time came for the open road. I felt pretty at ease, my main criticism was snappy clutch, letting out too quick and looking down (the bike had which gear selected) which was of great importance to me apparently and got me into lots of trouble!! Anyways, had a good 90 or so minutes until we finished and I got broken down further....then after all That I got told I'd passed and to go on home and practice. So, all in all was a little bewildered, no major incidents and I went and got my new gear, boots helmet bottoms, gloves etc. chuffed, was knackered, wanted to leave the biking but tried on gear to show the Missus and found myself out on my bike for one more ride The YBR felt quite different, probably down to having a lot less experience on it, found myself stalling a couple of times and having a job going from first to second, kept hitting neutral?!! Anyways, off tomorrow too so Will get more practice in then. Then we have the small matter of dual carriageway to deal with to get to work!!! A bit of a novel but the vodka cokes are kicking In at last,
  4. Lol eh yeah live! Had a bit of a practice in garden tonight, loving first gear yep Defo noob lol
  5. Cheers, I'll go get some grease and have a go. It's due service and mot September so I'll try that for now. Looking forward to getting out the road to deeside, I love in the sticks, kintore so will be learning out where it's fairly quiet. Looking forward to reading the forum properly, I'm on the Subaru (forester xt) quite a lot. Trying to upgrade my membership now cheers everyone
