Gotta be 1 of the sweetest 125's out these days Wazuke

Move along....nothing to see here.....except that El Ginge & his Namby-Pamby riding conditions. Don't wanna steal his thunder.....he'll be bikeless again in a year's time. Nice Pics Pete.

to the MadHouse Chris Best of Luck with getting that gear change into 2nd down to a science..... Keep Riding!.....Before you know it, it'll all be 2nd nature to ya.

Fair enough mate......1 thing's for sure.....it's NOT a straight-away.

Sweet Ride OutKast! Are those front calipers of an R1?.....or are they std XJR issue? Wish we got that naked Beast over here.......I'd have 1 for sure.

to the forum Headless ANY Yammy is accepted around here mate

Starter circuit cut-off relay could be in question here as well.

Being a former Seca400 owner (Man, I miss that bike!)..... A StreetFighter theme should look pretty Cool.

Looks like a Hooligan' commute to me! Guy needs a SuperMoto for when the tarmac runs out & there's nothing but sidewalks & parking lots left!

'Nuff Said!

Love to see some YOC stickers with the Tuning Forks on 'em.

Had this issue with a few Yamaha's in the past.......but fortunately NOT with my 550......although due to lack of everyday use, I inadvertantly snapped off the lever right @ the pivot ....which coulda been cured with a shot of WD. The gaskets in the tap assembly itself tend to dry out & become brittle after being stored for some time. I ended up buying a new tap from MOTOGRID which was $35 well spent. FYI....the MotoGrid site is great for referencing with the exploded parts views.

Practice = 2nd nature Before you know it......Rights & Lefts will feel equally re-assuring.

Actually DJ...... Your mileage should improve a bit after your bike has been "Ran In" Everything loosens up a little & as long as you keep after the oil & plugs........there's no reason the MPG shouldn't improve.

Good thing is that Yam clutches are a Piece Of Cake to change out.

In my experience......this scenario seems to be an issue with most older Yamaha's....... Could be a sign of your flasher relay on it's last leg? My Seca used to do this......unless the revs were up....then it worked fine.

Takin a stab here.........most YamaThumps I've seen have the oil filter in the upper right side of the crankcase just below the barrel .......mine even has "oil filter" stamped on it. BTW.... to the forum

Nice Scoot Rob to the forum

Yeah.....but been here for quite awhile & besides.....the TUNING FORK realm knows NO bounds.

to the forum Pete Cool old Smoker you've got there...Great to see it still alive & kicking

to the forum Dufferz Nice little DT you've got there....loads of potential. Good machine to learn Motorbike Mechanics 101 with.

to the forum Branman Just remember: ....TUNING FORKS RULE!!

Sweet old Smoker there Aussie to the forum mate

No Worries Michelle........sorted. BTW..... to the forum

Exhaust & Jetting is always a good place to start with XT's.
