ralphc Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have a YBR125 (year 2006) which wont start. I turn the key and and no lights turn on. Im sure the headlight and neutral light used to come on (I have checked it is in neutral!). I have charged up the existing battery and even tryed a brand new one now but no luck. There must be a loose connection somewhere. Any suggestions? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted May 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2009 er, have you switched off the cut-out switch by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphc Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 er, have you switched off the cut-out switch by accident? The bike doesn't have a engine cut-out switch. Something to do with it only having a centre stand i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted May 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2009 The bike doesn't have a engine cut-out switch. Something to do with it only having a centre stand i believe. As far as I know it does, i think drewpy is referring to the engine kill switch, usually found somewhere on the right hand controls. Take a multimeter between battery positive and an engine mount bolt, see if you get battery voltage, If not check battery pos to neg, if you now get battery voltage you must have a bad battery neg to chassis connection.

As far as I know it does, i think drewpy is referring to the engine kill switch, usually found somewhere on the right hand controls. Ive got a ybr125, and got a sidestand, and centrestand.. and no cutout switch/engine kill switch .... Ralphc, i'd recommend, checking for loose wires, (if it is not the battery and fuse).. maybe just a bad connection to the battery itself.. hope this helps..

nio Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Twist the key a little bit. I heard that some lockers on the YBR do face that problem and the engine dies out from the malfunctioning locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphc Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Finally found the fault (well almost). I fiddled with the wires underneath the ignition key switch and the lights came on. I could then start the bike as normal. There's a loose connection (as uzi_999 mentioned) amongst those wires. I'll take a good look at the weekend when I have more time. Thanks for all your help.

squiz Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 JUST SO YA KNOW GUYS...............i had an 07 ybr till last month. you wont have a kill switch cos the bike is fuel injected not carbed(if its same as mine) bike will cut out if side stand down and u put it in gear,clutch in or not. and just in case its like my fazer.....the bike wont go if its in gear on the center stand either!

(could ve been v embarresing that one!) i dont think its like the fazer, ive managed to have it on the centre stand, and rock it forward (back tyre off the floor) and put it in first and ride!!.. felt like the worlds moving forwards as i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
