  1. yes they should be a drive crank seal, but when the sprocket on it helps too keep the seal/collar in place...put the sprocket back on see if the leak stops....if it dosn't then you may need a new seal the other problem does sound a bit like a fuel problem, but electical an coils can do the same as you described too.. i'd start with the basics, like..... fuel lines, vacuums, breather pipes ect ect an go from there
  2. you don't need a kill switch for the mot, but if theres a switch there, then it has to work for the mot

    i find the BBQ paint a little more better then the UHT paint

    my hornet did something similar, that turned out to be a exhaust seal
  5. think he means the adjustable kind..... more flex in them an can move in both directions, harded to break if you drop the bike but i don't know which ones will fit yours, have a look on ebay they usually tell you what bike they will fit

    lol yeah made my head hurt a bit looking at pictures he sent me trying to compare the two.... i'm not sure if the ybr changed after 2008, but it looks the same from the outside, i'm pretty sure the bottom ends/gearbox ect are the same... i know his front end is totally rote off an the frame has been bent but rest is fine.....the only other option would be to change it all, fuel pump, loom, injector cdi everything, might make a nice project for me....thats if its possible

    so i know someone whos breaking a 13 plate ybr 125 as it can't go back on the road after a accident... but the engines fine, i know ithe ybr is fuel injected an the xt is carb.... my question is, do any of you guys know if i can put a carb on the fuel injected ybr an it would run like the carb version ? or if i can swop the heads on the 13 plate ybr with a xt125x so its becomes carb ?
  9. the regulars/staff prefer you to post a introduction before asking for help bud...its a curtsy thing as for your problem, the float could be sticking, did they check the float? or it could be needle and seat is your fuel vacuum tap working correctly? no fuel should be coming out when the bikes not running

    finally got around to taking the head of to investigate, still no idea what it is...but im learning towards the idea of it being the cam shaft? i did ask at the shop about if they had ever heard of a 'squeaky valve' they said no, so i'm a bit confused why i got told thats what the problem was.... anyways, after a visual inspection everything looks fine, so i've uploaded a little vid of the 'squeak' to see if you guys have any idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OyDfY3aqv8

    yes, poor excuse that...maybe the confusing your bike with the sr-71 blackbird
  15. tomyqss replied to tomyqss's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop

  17. tomyqss posted a post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    my xt125x has developed a squeak, only on tickover an goes away after a short ride... been told its a squeaky valve, but why would it just start squeaking overnight...it was fine the day before but more importantly, how do i fix this....i've not stripped the bike yet so not had a look at the valves to see if its getting oil. thought i'd get some more opinions first, see if you guys think it could be a squeaky valve or something else
  18. i have a universal speedo fitted to mine, i agree with all the above.... don't waste your money buying genuine new or seconded hand yamaha ones, they will just break
  19. tomyqss replied to tomyqss's post in a topic in The Bar
    no, no sump guard fitted when i bought it, exhaust was chrome an rust i believe
  20. tomyqss replied to tomyqss's post in a topic in The Bar
    i've done alot to it new cam chain rings top end gasket set valves re set tyres chain/sprocket kit wheel bearing break pads oil plugs filter gave it a spray fix front an back light, an indicators new clutch lever couple things let it down has universal speedo fitted, an a rip in the seat, could do with a new battery other then that, starts first kick... but yeah, think i'm going to go the ebay route....kinda miss the 2 stroke smell an sound
  21. tomyqss replied to tomyqss's post in a topic in The Bar
