Hi All, I'm a bit of a newbie too, but learning pretty fast... I have an SR125 (1999) V Reg. It's my first legal 'on-road' bike and running on L's till I can save for my full test. A question I have for Ellfie, How many miles has your SR done? and do you have much/any paperwork history? Since I've had mine I've had to do loads to it. New Chain & Sprockets, New indicators, New front tyre, New front disk and pads (and a calliper strip & clean as I couldn't push the pistons back to get the new pads in), New Clutch cable (I'll come back to that in a bit as I have a question to all about that lol) New speedo cable, New clutch lever, New oil filter and full oil change and many, many hours of love going into removing surface rust and cleaning. Ok guys and gals, so my clutch cable was nearing the full adjustment, so I thought, I'll by a new one and that should sort that problem out, got new cable and fitted it, now it's only a little better but still had too adjust it to the limit... The clutch, when biting feels pretty good too me and I think it had a new one not so long ago (As the bike has done over 42'500 miles). I looked in my Haynes manual and it says something about adjusting the clutch arm that the cable connects to down near where the front sprocket is. Is this what needs to be done? Plus the screw that it says to remove isn't very well weathered being 13 years old and is rounding off. I don't want to really give it some in case I get it out and can't find a replacement and when it may not be this anyway.... Please help as my adjustment of the cable is on the limit and the biting point is pretty far out on the lever.... Many Thanks, Jef.
