Hi all, I have a problem with my throttle on my 125. It's only got 700 miles on it. When it's hot it idles great. As soon as I twist the throttle it dips before going up, but if I put the choke half on the idle is low but it doesn't dip. Any help appreciated.

Thanks guys i'll change it tomorrow.

My mate spoke to his friend who said it's to do with the shifting rod sticking due to standing and condensation getting in. He said force it in which I did'nt like. So I eased it in by putting trying to push the pedal up and releasing and eventually in went into third. From then 4th and 5th was no problem. I had it on a bike lift and ran it in each gear. Took it for a spin and now shifting is no problem. Just to add the oil and filter was changed last June.

Can anyone help with my xvs 125? I have left my bike standing for 5 months. Last week I put it on a bike lift and started it up, all gears were changing ok. This week started it up to go for a ride and it will not change above second gear even when warmed up. 1st 2nd and neutral all working fine.

Hi all, I started my xvs up last week after about 5 months and had it on a bike jack. The gears changed no problem. I started up this week and cannot get it above second gear. First second neutral is all fine. I rode it up for a mile to warm it up thinking it may be the clutch plates but still no joy even when engine is hot. Any ideas?

Hi to everyone. I am a newbie to this site so please be patient. I have an xvs 125 and I have the same problem from cold. If I wait until the oil filter starts to get warm I have no problem at all changing up/down or neutral. A few weeks ago i put in a new filter and Yamalube to help and when warm it is now definitely smoother when changing.
