Hi,
I have a “08” Plate, Yamaha YBR125 bike which occasionally decides its going to play up! I will try to start it using the electric start & it fires up/turns over, but as soon as I put it into gear, the bike dies on me, & the battery warning light will flash for a few seconds. I will then try to re-start it by putting it back into neutral, followed by starting it by the electric start but again it fires up/turns over in neutral, but the second I put it into gear whether it be first gear or skipping directly to second gear the bikes dies on me. I have tried kick-starting it whilst its in gear but all I get is the flash of the battery light, but no firing of the engine, however if I leave it anything from 10-30 minutes, I can then start it as normal by the electric start…..???
I am a complete novice when it comes to bikes, but if I had to guess, might it be the spark plugs or starter engine causing the problem thus requiring replacement???
Thank-you in advance for your time in this matter…..
Phil
