this is true but I must admit if I jump on my ybr125 after I've been on the old Gen I find I scrape the foot rests on corners. 

 

Nearly binned binned it a few times for having sparks off those pegs lol

Just treated her to a bit of maintenance...:  http://imgur.com/ygYeckw  A few signs your plugs might not have been changed in a while: 1) gaps out, 2) a tiny bit of rust!, 3) a bloody great mummified wasp! :o 

Just the brake cappuccino  fluid and coolant to change now when i have chance..

Well I managed to make it through the first week without binning it!  In spite of my best efforts in setting off with the disc lock on - I don't recommend this (it wouldn't fit through the disc on the ybr so I used a chain, which was easier to remember before setting off)!  

I absolutely love the bike, puts a massive grin on my face every day . Need to plan some longer summer outings now to get used to cornering.  Have many of you done the BikeSafe course?  Would you recommend it for new riders?

Put your disc lock as close as you can behind the forks - less chance of you doing damage if the wheel can only move forward a few cms rather than almost a full rotation. Also get a reminder cable.
