YBR stall's when it says its in neutral ?
I notice by your posts that the bike is a brand new 2010 . So if there is really anything wrong ? you should take it to the dealers , as for oil changes I shouldn't think you should be bothered as ,they will do it on first service,thats when its over 6 month or done 600 miles, which no doubt it says in the owners manual

1992 sr125 problem
Are you aware of the clutch & sidestand cut off switches ? Did you & bike get wet ? if so may just be that & need wd 40 spraying on all electrics if not the first thing I would check & renew is the plug ( pennies )clean & re'oil air filter ( read manual ) & try to give as mutch info as you can as it could be a number of things .also check the idle screw it may need turning in a bit again (manual) as you dont know how without it . ok..... R (also you could have a duff battery) .

just a newbie saying hi :)
Hi & Welcome , I just got one a few weeks back 08 with 600 miles, mint & cheap , Its a good time to buy, but the weathers not been great obviously so have not ridden it mutch & I haven't decided yet if I like it or not ? I like to be hands on , doing any any maintenance & repairs etc & avoid garage bills , but this has fuel injection & other gadgets that i'm not used to, so I guess i'll have to do some homework & study up on it if I decide to keep for more than a few months & also not keen on the skinny wheels ( ive read some bad reports on them )after fat ones on my marauder, though it's easier to get in my shed . I like that it has a side / centre stand a kicker & a rack , anyway enjoy yours ....root

front forks seem too soft
Hi.... you realy do need a manual skik You will have to lower the forks while on the frame to undo the threaded plugs at the top of the stansions,if your model has them ( some dont ) undo the top bolts & loosen yolk pinch bolts lower the legs a few inches , one at a time ,then retighten the lower pinch bolt to use as a vice while you just loosen the oil plug , remove the leg undo the plug empty the oil , the spring etc will also come out so remember exactly , how they are to go back then find out how much 10w fork oil you need ( manual . )clean out , examine the springs check lengh manual! .Some models just have a O ring at the top of stansion & these I think have to be completly dismantled to examine the springs but can be emptied & topped up ,also there are posts on here for doing these forks if you look .ok

XJ600 vibration!
Do the vibrations lessen when you apply front brake when standing , Is it worse on the right grip & mirror , Could it be a calliper part loose ?

XJ600 vibration!
Hi have you checked the headstock & front wheel bearings ? try pulling the clutch in when riding if the vibes stop it will probably be engine related , maybe just a loose mounting bolt at best ....R

Strange Solenoid
Hi phil....I dont know much about the bike, but the guys who will, like to know a bit about where you are coming from & a hello goes a long way, you will get a better response from the folk on here by saying a bit about yaself in your first post ,also as much info as posible on the problems your having , like all the things tried & haven't (etc can mean anything ?) It could be a number of things preventing the bike starting . But I think what you are on about is the automatic choke,

sr 125 parts needed
Just bypass the ignition to get it running before laying out for new parts , it looks like either the bracket has been ripped out with ignition or there may be one on an original replacement when you get one ? I can't remember try breakers , plety of SRs about , The plastic cover has nothing to do with it just to get at the top fork bolts & bar bolts just fits loose.

Am I turning into a grumpy old bast...rd
I think I said "aye up" when I first signed in to YOC , Then followed up with a few dumb posts that i'd rather forget. & i have replied to a few that I bet some thought what the f**k is he on about . I'm only relearning myself & sometimes put my foot in it , then I think after , "I hope I haven't killed his bike" or cost him a fortune with a dumb answer especialy if they have said ,hello i'm not going to sue you if you fk up , But hope I may have helped one or two ? Anyone who has never made a mistake , has never tried anything new.
