KyleHally Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi there, My name is Kyle and I'm an aircraft mechanic from the east end of glasgow. My whole experience with motorbikes is a mini moto i got as a kid for christmas (which i crashed on the first day). Have been telling myself for years I'd get my bike license but only yesterday went ahead with it. Purchased myself a brand new yamaha ys125 from the Jim Allan showroom in Falkirk and pretty psyched to pick it up after my CBT on the 4th of october. I'll stick some pictures once i get it but for the mean time I'll hang out here and hopefully pick up some good hints and tips to get me off to a good start. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fras1 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Hi Kyle ,good luck with your cbt , --will be interested to know what you think of the Ys 125,as it's the replacement for the YBR 125. For the Ys125 ,Yamaha say they have 'combined' the front and rear brakes ,but I have no idea what they mean by this. People on here will be interested to know how the brakes perform. (and what combined means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted September 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2017 probably linked brakes like vfr800 and some guzzi's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyrider Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 no nicking the aviation fuel from work or testing it by having someone throw chickens at your air intake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nAc7wab-l4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleHally Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Managed to get around 300miles down so far inbetween the great British weather. As for the combined brakes, i have no idea but the brakes work smooth so no complaints. Maybe the aviation fuel will get me over 65mph Here's a couple snaps anyway if i can remember how to do the whole forum image hosting lol P.S the L plate was the only casualty when it fell in the wind. Hence the reason its locked up without a cover at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1949 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Too right Blackie, I remember going on leave from Faslane to Cirencester, got train to Glasgow Train station and had to wait about an hour for train so went to pub next door (in uniform) Locals kept plying me with beer, then put me on train to London, supposed to change at Birmingham but fell asleep and when guard woke me up asking for ticket I was somewhere between Brum and the smoke. If that wasn't enough he made me pay extra to get to London then on to Swindon. 1 hour ago, blackhat250 said: Your a brave man mike, esp in the 1960/70 erra,, I've got to be honest Blackie. In the 60/70's we were not welcomed in Scotland or Wales. Sorry if I've offended you but my experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
