Djstorm Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi, I have a Yamaha Sr125, bought it recently but it has been sat around in the back yard as i was waiting for a new petrol cap. I tried starting the bike when i got home today and there was nothing. This bike is an electric start, no kick start on it and it was working the other day. Not being a bike genius(yet) i am unsure what the problem is. Can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damp in the ignition, drained battery, water in the tank if cap was off! take out the spark plugs can you smell petrol? connect up your spark plugs and earth to cyl head, do you get a spark? Charge up the battery drain tank and put fresh petrol in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are best to get yourself a haynes manual for starters, that way, you will gain basic knowledge for your bike. try http://www.yamaha-xt500.co.uk/portal.php its mainly xt but the sr has the same engine as the xt. your seat should open by key, and them you will see the hinges. with the seat up you will be able to see a bolt or bolts to hold the rear of the tank on, then wiggle backwards off the rubber. you can see an sr parts catalogue here. try 1980 theres's an sr250 listed there http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/parts/home.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
