Irish Karl Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hey there, New to the forum, just wanted to say hello.. Based just south of Gloucester. I've got a Kawasaki Z as my main bike but have picked up a Yamaha XT 125R for fun and maybe some light green laning kind of thing.. It's a bit of a turkey but planning on overhauling a it a bit. So there'll be some questions and queries heading your way.. Cheers.. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted May 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2020 Welcome, don't want a minter for greenlining. With an ugly duckling you will enjoy the lanes far more. Mechanicals need to be 100%. The last thing when your covered in mud, wet and cold, 20 miles from the van in a field is a dead bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, cosmetic wise I'm not too fussy tbh, but as you said - mechanically, I can't stand an unreliable bike and rather not take the chance of getting stranded.. Reckon I'll start with overhauling the brakes and carb.. There were charging issues, so I've picked up a new stator, reg/rec and battery. Everything else (so far) seems relatively sound, so I'll do the bits mentioned, see how she goes and then create a to do list.. K. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
