Hello, out there!

I'm new to biking, having done my CBT a month ago and since then bought a 2002 SR125, which I love. It's really encouraging to have come across such a friendly and encouraging site for Yamaha owners.

I know nothing - nothing! - about the mechanics of the machinery, but have my Haynes manual and hope to learn in time. I think for the first times though when anything goes wrong it'll be a case of taking Mildred to a real mechanic and looking on and learning. (Might be soon - she keeps cutting out in first gear. The last thing a novice rider needs at busy junctions...)

Anyway, very pleased to make your acquaintance!

Thank you!

Bike cut out again tonight at lights - couldn't get it in to any gear to start. After a 15 minute rest with the engine off, started again no problem at all! Will definitely take the advice about getting to know the bike mechanically. Thanks for the encouragement.
