Evening,

Picking up my new bike next week - can't wait :-) Yamaha YBR 125.

Go to re-take my CBT, as it expired when I was 18 - lol. Now I am 33.

Couple of questions if I may?

1. Dealer states bike will do in excess of 100mpg - is this true?

2. Been advised to change the dip and main beam bulbs?

3. Advised to change tyres to Michelin something or other - better grip in wet?

4. Another person said to change the spark plugs to NGK - CR6HSA, this will not only increase perfomance (not interested in that) but mainly MPG by 10 - 15%.

Can anyone advise if the above is correct?

At least your in the right section "New Members" Steve

Introduce yourself first, then you will most likely get more help.

Evening,

4. Another person said to change the spark plugs to NGK - CR6HSA,

Dont change the spark plug,,,,,leave the origional one, provided it is the correct one for the bike(find out the right plug numbers in a manual)

Changing to a colder or hotter plug can seriously damage your bike.

EDIT: people will tell you to do all-sorts of things to your bike,,,,,,dont listen to them,,,,try out the bike and change things you think yourself as you go along.

Welcome to YOC

Hi - Steve from East of England. Bought a new YBR 125cc today, picking it up sometime next week. Bought a bike to try and save money due to the high fuel prices. Misses not to happy - but there we go :-) Had a few bikes between 16 and 18 and have always wanted one ever since.

If any of you could help me with a few questions it would be greatly appreciated please;-

1. Dealer states bike will do in excess of 100mpg - is this true?

2. Been advised to change the dip and main beam bulbs?

3. Advised to change tyres to Michelin something or other - better grip in wet?
