MotocrossmanVA Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I am having trouble starting up my "Yamaha 125 TTR", recently it has been at strange... (Keep in mind it is electric start, but it does have a kick start also) When I start it up using the electric start button it makes a strange noise but I cant really explain the noise over the internet...but...any ways I would appreciate any Start-up trouble shooting tips Thank you in advance ~Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted May 8, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2007 Could possibly be a starter clutch issue? My old Seca550 did the same thing.....until I finally got fed up with it & didn't want to spend stoopid $$ to replace it. So I yanked it & bump started that beast for the last 6 years I had it. Made for some interesting looks after fill-ups @ the petrol station. You're lucky.....you've still got the kicker......& besides, it's only a 125...which is alot easier to kick start than say....a 550 like mine.
