I will add to my original post and say i get alot more nods on the YBR than i do on the DTR

*Note to self, stay clear of fzr400 riders, there a strange bunch

Average speed says 25mph I hope you stopped for a rest Only taking the proverbial N1 Fried egg, enjoy it while the summers here (presuming you are in the UK?)

Not familiar with the bike, but is it possibly the starter solenoid thats had it?

Welcome to the forum Shaun. I second what barkwindjammer says. IME the only thing stopping the thieving bstds, is you (and whatever you have in your hands ). I can recommend Nigel at http://www.motorbikealarm.co.uk/ for a good alarm/ immobilizer, he was very helpful. From what i have read though,the majority of bikes that are stolen are done so by people in vans, so an immobilizer isn't going to help a great deal in that respect, a big chain and noisy alarm is my choice. And as you said your bike is a head turner, well that being the case you may want to keep an eye out for being followed ( home or to work etc) by pikeys in vans (especially white transits). Sounds paranoid i know, but I was followed around my local area late last year, three laps of the same roads before i went off road and lost them. Vez.

He probably means that he used the cables to open and lock the power valve in the fully open position. Not something i would personally recommend for the road as the bike will need to be ridden at full throttle because all the power is pushed to the top of the rev range at the sacrifice of lowdown power. You will find most of the facts you need about derestricting a DTR on this site http://dtr125.net/ , but if you are already getting 70, i think your doing ok tbh. Also this thread is a good read and may answer a few things the site above doesn't http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/20583-de-restricting-my-dt125r/ Anymore questions you need answered then start a new thread, it will generate more interest than posting in old threads. Vez.

Well done friedegg Now the real learning starts. What bike are you going to get/have ? Vez

M&p stock them http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?catref=511727&tier1url=Spares&tier2url=Gasket-Sets&tier3url=Economy&tier4url=Full-Gasket-Set Paid up member of the forum get a discount there btw. HTH Vez

I stand by my original opinion on the oil issue. Brake caliper is no big deal to fix, probably the piston seals. Bit pricey though, £28 for some seals http://motorcyclepro...9-p-158015.html can only find ones for 88-89 im 99% sure they are the same though.

to the Forums Quick Chuck. very interesting bike you got there.

Any problems you could always sell it to a wife/relative/close friend tax it then buy it back

Welcome to the Forum

Sorry to hear that Pat. I'm sure he was as lucky to have you, as you were to have him as a friend. Remember the good times. My sympathies are with you. Vez

You are posting in the help section for "Forum help". Try and repost this in the classic section and you will probably get some replies

Thanks for that Drewpy, just the tune i need stuck in my head in college tomorrow

Easy enough to find out when the light comes on. Drain the tank with the ignition on, until the light comes on, then drain the rest into a separate container and measure. Vez

Sir may i show you to the door! But seriously, i agree with Ttaskmaster, especially considering you said the 125 is your main form of transport

Ok Kishan, you got me, wth is a bus wanker ?

Not sure about large gloves, i have seen some that attach to the handle bars that look quite warm, just can't find a link to any. Why not try some heated grips? http://www.racecans4u.com/oxford-hotgrips-heated-motorcycle-grips---free-pp-82-p.asp Vez.
