Airhead

Hes so good he changed a blue/grey bike with hub dynamo and straight handlebars into a red bike with racer style dropped bars and no dynamo I remember that from back in the day

Aahh there must be a knack to it, I'm sure you'll get it in the end. Try lifting the front a little as you slide the whole thing back. Another straw clutched at

I read something on here once that the dealer may have registered the bike at point of sale and that you may be able to retriever the reg number from yamaha uk or if that fails,I Have also read that... using your frame number yamaha uk will write a letter stating the age of the bike in question for a nominal fee, this can then be used to get an age related number from DVLA

did you take it out of the frame? doesnt make sense does it The mounts on the frame are fixed arent they...not bolt on brackets?

Hello and welcome oak framer, given it wow thats lucky whereare you? an intro would be good ...Paul

Nice to see a good report on a motorcycle repaires outfit for a change.

so it seems you did seize it, of course you dont want it to happen again yet you have not addressed what I posted?

Well done, roll on summer

Oh dear...not good at all. First of I dont believe in coincidences and I'm thinking you seized it and could this be possibly something to do with you working on the air filter, is it torn or not seated / secured properly. Being able to push the bike backwards in gear without clutch pulled in...now thats an odd one I must say...best check the primary drive gear is intact Could be an expensive fix

still making the same old mistakes

Greetings Cbodybagger, you should buy a manual,either a new one http://www.helmetheadcycle.com/product/1503/clymer-m410-yamaha-80-175cc-piston-port2c-1968-1976 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLYMER-MANUAL-YAMAHA-MX100-MX125-MX175-CT1-CT-2-3-68-76-/290492597899 or watch ebay for a used one. As for the stalling i'm with Cynic and his theory of a blocked pilot jet in the carb. ...Paul

Got mine too thanks mate

Haha...very good, good old brit humour

Anyone edits that and their warn status will go up

I dont get it

Have fun...I did Link doesnt work BTW

Cheers Drewpy

There will be one in the haynes manual wont there?

Wow

I would love a classic brit bike but like drewpy my garage / commitments are full up, youre lucky to be in the position you are

Not a lot of people know that

Welcome Newberz... i dont love YBR's but if I had one maybe I would, They're great little bikes IMO

Welcome shepherd111 Surely theres a test centre in Preston...no? Keep you bike clean if youre using it over winter with regular wipe downs, the salt will damage it if you neglect it. Best thing is to protect it with something like acf or whatever yes John we all know you like sheep Baaaa!

Lift the bike onto something like a bottle crate under the engine to hold it upright, you may have to weight down the back end in order to get the front wheel off the floor. Note how the fork stancheons are sitting in the top yoke (whether they are flush or protrude through) Disconnect the front brake cable and speedo cable from the wheel. Remove the wheel. Now one side at a time undo the fork yoke clamps top and bottom and also the headlight ear if applicable. Withdraw the fork downwards untill it is free and work on the gaitors change, re-fit the fork and repeat for the other side. Observe any tightening torque values on re-assembly (yokes,wheel spindle) ...Paul .
