Posted March 20, 200916 yr Hi there, my bike is slipping out of gear and into neutral sometimes. Have been told my gear selector forks need replacing. My bike is a 2004 YZ125, and I haven't seen any gear selector forks for my bike. I have seen ones for YZ250's and YZF250's. Just wondering whether they would fit my bike or not.
March 20, 200916 yr Moderator Pat, If your bike is only 2004 vintage just order them from Yamaha dealer, its not exactly an old bike!
March 21, 200916 yr What mileage is on the bike? Selector forks shouldn't need replacing really until you've hit at least 40k (and that's a conservative estimate) unless the bike has been ridden by a redline happy loon.
March 22, 200916 yr Author Mine is an offrode bike, hasn't got a mileage count etc... But I bought it off a guy and it looks like its been used often... I'll be happily riding along in 1st gear and it will just slip into neutral, it does this is every gear too. The guy said its the selector forks, where will I pick some up cheap? and also will selector forks for 250's etc fit my bike? 2004 YZ125
March 24, 200916 yr Moderator Pat youre unlikely to find any in my opinion, its a 2004 bike and a rare bike at that, not exactly something you would find at a breakers, I think youre going to have to order a new set, but first you best confirm theyre damaged. Good luck.
