Shaunm1991 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hello, I'm new to the boards and am hoping someone can help me. Ive recently bought a YBR125 2011 privately. All the frame numbers check out and the number plate is a match to the model, but I've noticed there isn't a kickstart and the owners manual says there should be. Can anyone share some insight as to why that may be? There doesn't even seem to be a socket for one? Thanks shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator mervin Posted August 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2015 never fitted then ,kickstart most probably for a different market , it usually unmissable a bloody great lever stuck out of the side of the gearbox . you need to run it downhill in gear instead to start it .i took mine off my FS1E in the seventies to save weight loll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I don't know much about these little bikes but if you look at the right side of the engine just above and behind the foot rest you should see a blank plate/hole, I think that's where your kickstart should be if you had one but your bike ONLY comes with an electric start. One of the lads on here has just posted his "new" bike up, have a look at that and see if it's the same as yours cos it don't have a kickstart either.
