Hi Wayne, I have the same bike, and the Haynes manual, and it has similar problems to yours. Take a look at the front few pages of your manual - it should have a Q & A section which lists common problems. One of them is as you describe and it gives you a rundown on what to do to fix it. Basically, the answer is to start with the spark plugs (check gap, firing etc) then move on electrical bit by electrical bit until you get to the CDI/TCI. I spoke to a mechanic about mine, he said CDI/TCI is costly to replace but, more importantly, he would go through the same process as described in the manual (i.e. check everything else first) which would be quite costly in terms of time and labour. I cleaned up the plugs, checked the gap, and now deal with it when it cuts out which isn't as often as before, but I do look a right wally when I've just pushed my way to the front at traffic lights only to have the damn thing cut out at the worst possible moment! Other than that, I love my little baby. Good luck, Angela

Tell you what, go to moneyclaimonline (not sure of exact web address), pay £30 to lodge a claim with the Courts, then add up what they owe you, plus interest, plus all the calls you made, plus charge 'em an hourly rate for your time wasted and the £30 for the claim, add 10% for 'pain and suffering' and they'll be served with a court order. All I can say is.. WA*NKERS! Angela

Hi you (hopefully very helpful) Yamaha owners! I'm brand new to the forum, and already I have a question. Please bear with me, not only am I technologically challenged, I don't know my carb from my spark plug (but at least I know I only have one of them on my 125) So here's the thing: I've got a lovely little 1996 SR125, goes well most of the time, but she stalls at the most unexpected moments, mainly when I am stopped at traffic lights or braking to a roundabout (most disconcerting!) She also seems to lose power on the dual carriageway, then suddenly sparks up as if someone's put a rocket up her! So I've looked online and have established that other SR125s have had the same problem and its to do with the CDI thingy. No worries, but when I looked in the manual it says I've got a T.C.I. (digital) ignition system and a CDI magneto (I'm an X Man?) charging system so now I don't know whether I'm supposed to replace the CDI, the TCI or what! Can anyone offer any advice please? Thanks in advance, Angela
