Try oiling the disk brake Only joking of course Does it even have a disc at the back?

Greetings Bry, YBR is a great little bike (apart from the squeeks)

Nice one Pat, looks a minter ....until next winter

The point is...only use it for an initial clean, it's abrasive. use washing and waxing on a regular basis to keep it nice.

Best way for me would be a good chrome cleaner, I use 'Belgom Chroom' and follow that by regular applications of Rim Wax. I would use this on both rims and spokes. Dont persist on using abrasives on the spokes as they will only ever come up to a certain standard and if they are rusty...thats it, replace or be happy

Yeah might be worth a try, If you do find something dont rush into buying any without also knowing the fixing bolt sizes (length and diameter) and ask the seller if the springs would be suitable for your lightweight bike.

Have you tried 'Googling' the centre to centre measurement Simon? What is that measurement?

Seized chain link?, can easily be seen as a kink when between the sprockets

Greetings Darren, great choice of bike

Hello

Greetings old speed freak Doc

Greetings Sam There is an Australian forum dedicated to these bikes Also American forums www.yamahaenduro.com ( american based but limit access from anybody using car phone ware house server ) www.thumpertalk.com ( american based but a wide range of machines ) www.trailbikeandenduroclassics.com ( many UK members but mostly XT & DT ) ...Paul

But they werent chromed and being re-chromed...they were zinc and in for re-zincing. I bet zinc is gone in a flash, some of this stuff looks like it was pickled in acid half the day. Looks like they have not done the slightest polishing and preparing and yes the photos are good and even show up the rust underneath that the naked eye (least mine) would struggle to see.

I havent sent them a complaint yet because I will go to another company first to get confirmation that it is all chrome plate. I cannot get to the other place until Friday at the earliest.

This is the work of a professional plating company, and as far as I can see it is chrome...not zinc as asked for. The finish was no way like this when I handed the parts over.

Decided to tart up some of the cycle parts on the old DT. Heres a sample of the finished product....FAIL

in USA?

OK OK!! The drag queens have it

does your kickstart 'Sag' Dom?
