Tomintoul Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Alright all, I've just bought my daughter a XSR 125 as her first bike and wanted to lower it for her. Obviously there's no Haynes for it as it's a new bike, and finding torque settings appears to be mission impossible, but I was wondering whether it's actually possible to order the service manual from Yamaha. I'd rather not get some shady pdf from some dubious site and our local Yamaha dealer's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. All the bikes I've had in the past, you could either get a Haynes for or you could buy the manual from the manufacturer, but either my Google-fu's failing or this doesn't seem to be the case with Yamaha. Any tips gratefully received Cheers Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted April 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2022 It looks like there may be a couple of hole options on the frame for the rear shock rocker to connect to, I'd check that out first. The other obvious option would be a lower seat. However, personally, I'd see how she goes with it first, remember, you kinda grow into bikes. As she relaxes she'll be able to get her feet down further... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomintoul Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 I've already got a set of lowering links for it - figured she'll be more relaxed if she can get her feet a little flatter on the ground and then as she gets the miles under her belt and a bit more confidence I can always throw the originals back on. Even though the XSR's a doddy wee thing, so's she and she wants to get into the spannering side of things too Also I'm pretty sure the MT125 she's learning on has been lowered - I can stand over that thing without touching the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomintoul Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Well I've pinged off a mail to Yamaha UK. Let's see if they can give me any joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomintoul Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) So Yamaha got in touch today and said for hard copy, contact local dealer or they'll email me a pdf. Result. Now my kid can learn how to spanner her own bike Edited May 2, 2022 by Tomintoul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 That's great, remember tho always check her work if she is a newb at spannering. Good luck to you both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomintoul Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Oh she won't be going near any of my tools without me looking over her shoulder Looks like I spoke too soon! Yamaha got back really quickly and e-mailed the Owner's Manual through Have replied asking for a Service / Workshop manual - let's see if they'll be as helpful this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyG Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hello Tomintoul is there a chance you could email me the service manual? I have also got the xsr125 and tried to contact Yamaha but they are reluctant to send me the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead205 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hi MattyG, Could you please send me that .pdf copy - I have a 2022 where the speedo has stopped working, would be great to be able to check the wiring diagram to check for electric faults before I start buying parts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomintoul Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Hey all, Sorry - haven't been checking in - will PM you all. Thanks to Snakebite for popping me a message giving me a heads up about this Cheers Bob OK, so it appears I can't PM anyone. I'm guessing it's because I'm a newb with bugger all posts to my name. Anyone know how many posts I need to be able to PM? I suppose I could just post whore my way up to the relevant number Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE0 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Think you'll find that PM is only available to paid members. I've recently gone from Free to Paid and now I can PM people, whereas that feature wasn't available on my free account. Yup ,confirmed on the https://yamahaclub.com/forums/subscriptions/ page. On the FREE user account on the far right it states:-(Limited functionality - E.g. Excludes use of Garage, Gallery, PM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted February 24 Moderator Share Posted February 24 Tomintoul is e-mailing me a copy, I'll harvest e-mails from those that have shown interest and forward it along... Thanks Tomintoul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
