Hi again :-) I've not used my bike much over winter, as we had one day of snow and i fell off at a roundabout, so i've been waiting for dry days to build confidence again. I went out on it the other day and it was revving freely for all of my 8 mile journey to the bike shop :-D weyhey! but on the way back, it didn't rev freely, and felt restricted in every gear. so i've been looking up what it could be. 1st. Carbs might need cleaning. 2nd. faulty CDi. Then i decided to take the seat off to see what CDi it was, turns out it's the 4 + 4 connectors which are harder to get hold of :-( Then i noticed a loose connector. Can anyone tell me what the circled bit is? it's on a 95 sr125, but my manual is for a 97 onwards. On my bike i've got the blue connector but the black bit on the connector is missing :-( This is an image of a wiring loom i found on ebay. the seller is actually a breakers a couple of miles from here, but i just need to know if the bit i'm missing is important enough that i should go down and buy it. Cheers :-)

Hi all, My SR125 hasn't been used the last two weeks due to the bad weather so yesterday I went to give it a run out only it wouldn't start. When I go to start it I get a buzzing / clicking sound coming from the battery area. I've checked all connections to the battery and all wires around the battery / starter motor seem to be secure. Could it be the battery is too low to get the starter motor turning over? Or is it an issue with the starter motor itself? Any help gratefully received

I just had my first ever motorbike crash. A low speed one, coming up to a roundabout and still had hold of the front brake as I went over a bit of frost. Picked the bike up and got it home, gear lever bent and rear indicator dangling. I rebent the gear lever back in place and screwed the indicator back on. Luckily it had just come off and not broke. But as I was riding it home, I noticed the handlebars were slightly off centre. When I got in I had a better look, and I can't tell if its the forks that are slightly twisted or if the bars bent. Its not noticeable from any angle other than when you look from above and the headlight is pointing slightly to the left of the wheel, only by around 5-10°. How do I check if the forks are twisted? Thanks, Dave in skelmersdale

Hi I am a new here and a new rider and a new yamaha owner. I just bought my first bike couple of days ago and while I waited for the insurance documents to arrive, I noticed that the tyre pressure in the rear tyre has gone down. The tyre is not flat, but it isn't inflated as the front tyre either? I don't have an air pump. What should I do? - walk the bike to the petrol station 0.4 miles away to check if it's a puncture or just the air leaked out. If so, how and where should I walk the bike? sidewalk or on-road? Do I need to be wearing a helmet while walking the bike? - since I haven't got the insurance documents yet, I don't have a 'breakdown cover' so should I call a mobile mechanic? (I live in London so any suggestions might be appreciated) - anything else? Thanks
