Cheers OG, Signed up and waiting for a reply Vez

Welcome to the Forums Mat. I am going to presume you mean the 2 metal clips at each end of the pads in the red circled area in the pic ( the front brake is a similar layout) The pads should come out sideways (or towards the camera in the pic) and need quite alot of encouragement sometimes, try and lever one end of the pad out first. The clips do bend sometimes but can be bent back again relatively easy. If you don't mean these clips then meh, i was bored and took a punt. As for posting pictures try the FAQ section of the forum or watch my vid http://www.youtube.c...h?v=TniqowlXgbw HTH Vez

Thanks for the reply Cynic, I wasn't aware of this, although the hire company/people who are dealing with my claim have stated on more than one occasion that it is being added to the uninsured losses. What has me worried now is what the letter said that accompanied the cheque i received today, "This payment is purely to enable you to replace or repair your damaged motorcycle and does not constitute acceptance of liability from the third party insurers.The payment has been released as cash in lieu of repairs. This payment has been made on the basis that your claim will be settled 100% in your favour, but should liability be split and you are found partly responsible, the enclosed cheque will obviously include and overpayment. In the event of that liability is settled on a split basis, and the enclosed cheque does represent an overpayment you will be obliged to reimburse any applicable sum to the third party insurer, or to ourselves, in the event that the third party insurers deduct the overpayment from any losses incurred by using our services, such as use of a credit hire motorcycle." So until i can get to speak to my solicitor i wont be spending any money fixing my bike. Although the hire company have said i can keep the hire bike until i finish college next week for free, which is good. Vez.

You can bleed the oil pump, but not the actual pipe, there is a small cross head screw at the bottom of the 2-stroke oil pump, just remove the screw and let the oil trickle out until there is no air bubbles coming out with the oil. Vez.

nearly Robbie. You need to paste only the address without the [ IMG ] tags when you click the "insert image" button while posting. The pipe in question is only a breather pipe and is nothing to worry about. If you wanted to you could fit a longer pipe to it, say 8-10" long, and run the pipe out of the way of the engine. Usually to the area where the swingarm meets the frame on the right hand side, you will find a small wire square shaped bracket that is for the various breather/overflow pipes to sit in. What you do need to worry about is the top hose in the picture, it is another warmer hose and NOT an oil delivery pipe. There should be 2 hoses coming from the top of the cylinder head (1 on the head itself and another on the side of the thermostat housing) that attach to the two in the picture. Hope this is clear and helps. Vez.

Thanks for the reply, iirc they are being charged around £90 a day for the hire bike, which i think is alot considering i have hired a car for nearly a week for that in the late 90's. Thanks for your reply. As of yet i hadn't considered they might be blaming both of us, I've had minimal feedback from my insurance appointed solicitor so only know the 3rd party is denying liability. I will definitely mention the "knock for knock" when i see my local solicitor as i now think this may be the case. I also have a damages claim and a personal injuries claim that i haven't heard anything about either. I feel like a mushroom atm. Vez.

From what i have read tonight the "pay in lieu" is used when the vehicle owner wants to fix it themselves, which i do, as i don't trust anyone else to do it . It is mainly used for things like classic cars and bikes or where parts may be hard to source, due to vehicle being discontinued etc. I think the solicitor option is the way forward just to make sure of my position. There is noway i will be admitting it is my fault, as i would have a hard time explaining how i rode a bike sideways through a junction in order to cause the damage that is there Thanks for your feedback mate, Vez.

The police didn't make a written report apparently, but my insurers were supposedly chasing this up And in this case the insurance companies have said they are deciding who is at fault, nice eh! Vez.

It was a swap as the police made sure we did, and she admitted liability at the scene in front of the police.

No might about it OG, they wanted it today, with only a week of college left, i plead for an extension and am waiting to hear from them.

Thanks for the reply I was going to see the local solicitor that dealt with my last crash tomorrow as i know he will put me straight, i thought i would ask here to see if anyone else had a similar experience. The conflict of interests is entirely one sided, as the lady that hit me was fully comp ( im tpft) and has already been paid, so the only chance of saving some money for the insurance company is if they can pin it on me. Vez.

A search of the forum should of turned up a post about graphics Try here http://www.ddgraphic...638e067274bac8b < also 4th result for a google search for "dt125r graphics" Also a guy in Portugal that will make any design you want http://translate.goo....us%2Findex.php < some very nice graphics here that would imo look nice on red plastics, just click the left under DTR jobs complete.. Hope this helps. Vez.

Well as some of you know i was involved in a bit of a crash back in April where i was hit from the side going through a junction by an old lady in her car. Her insurance company (which happens to be the same as mine AXA) denied she was liable and that it was my fault because i had ran a red light and hit her, which i didn't and so i stated that in my reply form etc. Since then her insurance people have sent an assessor to check the damage on my bike, that also makes it obvious she hit me with all the damage being on the right-hand side of my bike, and when he gave me a quote he asked me if i would accept a "pay in lieu" of x amount if i won the case, which i agreed to. So today i receive a phone call from my insurance people saying that a check had arrived from the 3rd party and it will be with me shortly, great i thought. I asked if this meant that they were finally admitting liability, to which i was told no, and also that if at a later date her insurance company decide the accident was my fault that i will have to pay it back As anybody here experienced this "pay in lieu" before? And what will they do if i haven't got the money to pay back as i have spent it repairing my bike? Any help advice/experience will be greatly appreciated. Vez.

Hey Robbie, You are adding a link to a file on your computer and that is why it works for you and not for us. Follow any of the instructions here http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=14685http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=14685 Vez.

Damn, its been one of them days... RIGHT SIDE one. Face palm *walks away mumbling*

Welcome to the forum Vez.

The replacement of the selector return springs should not have anything to do with the crank seals, to replace the selector spring you only need to take the clutch casing off and the crank seals are located on either end of the crank in the 2 gearbox/crank cases. Only one of these seals has oil on the other side and that is the Left hand side one ( not right as i posted earlier when i had just woke up). I believe the method to test for a faulty seal is to place the oil overflow pipe ( just behind the kickstart coming out of the top of the engine) into a glass jar filled with water and with the bike running look for bubbling in the jar. Its not that hard to replace the seal, but if you sent the bike to a garage to have the selector spring replaced, then you should probably do the same for the seal. No offense intended. Vez.

Righthand Left hand crank seal by the sound of it. Vez.

Is it new, never noticed it before?

What chat room ? ( dont know if i really want the answer to that lol)

Just remember having the same issue back when i fixed forklift trucks, iirc the starter engages with a centrifugal kind of force and would sometimes stick, a swift tap with a hammer would fix it more often than not.

I will give the forum a clue, one of them isn't OG Once

Sorry to hear you failed. Just learn from it and get it booked again. I know 2 people who still leaves their indicators on and one of them has been riding quite a while ( i wont name them,but they know who they are ) so don't feel bad about it. Can't think of any tips to stop apart from practice practice practice, but you should be careful not to focus on it too much as there is far more dangerous things to worry about. Vez.
