Yeah I used a hair kirbee thing, atleast I'll know for next time. Just got to wait for the battery to come now and see if the old girl starts!

Sorted now, the o-ring was stuck the carb in the hole, the washer must of been stuck too. Thanks again for the help guys

It's the carb on the YBR that I'm cleaning, can seem to find a washer on any diagram that I can find!

Yes I did, not sure what one it might be for. The pilot has a spring with a rubber o-ring and the air is just bare. The washer fits both, I'm thinking air?

This little fella thought it would be funny to fall out when I was cleaning the carb, any idea where it's supposed to go? http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0077.jpg

Yeah I meant safe to go to town on the inside of the carb.

Anyone ever used this stuff? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... reId=10001 It's the only cleaner a can source locally. It says I cleans the carb without disassembly, but I want to disassemble it and give it a good scrub. You guys think it will be safe?

Haha maybe,handlebars are the least of my worries just now but I'll keep it in mind!

Going to try to source as much YBR G parts as I can, up grade tyres to enduro style ones, rebuild forks etc etc, just make it a bit sturdier. Yes it will be 100% road legal. It's not going to be doing jumps and whoops, just some light off-roading.

Bike: 2006 Yamaha YBR 125 Miles: 6000 Objective: Road legal green Lane machine! Cost: £0 Budget: ? I'll be blogging every step of what I do until completetion. The bike is currently a non-runner, it's been sat for just over 2 years and was ran for a few minutes roughly a year or so ago. Plans: Get it going, re-paint everything, replace what needs replaced, add dirt bike type modifications. http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0043.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0044.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0045.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0046.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0047.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0051.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0050.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0049.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0048.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0052.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0053.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0054.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0055.jpg

Will the Carb be easy enough to sort out for a novice? It wasn't exactly running OK before, it took alot of fiddling to finally make it go after about 9 months of sitting, but before that it had a fresh MOT and my dad rode it home (40 miles). It was for his partner but she showed no interest. Now 2 years later it's mine.....

So before I go buying many things and many special devices I'll ask on here. I finally got round to picking up the YBR that is going to my winter project, turning it into a green Lane machine! The battery is completely dead. I turn the key and no lights come on...nothing. I hooked it upto the car battery and all the lights come on but when I push starter it just chugs and doesn't start, kick starter does next to nothing. When the jump leads are off and I turn the key it lights up for a few seconds then dims to nothing. Time for a new battery? Me and my dad had it going about 2 years ago. It's a 2006 Carb model. Thanks

For example, will some WR125 parts fit a YBR?

So I bought a new bike, a Yamaha YBR 125 K6. Got it from my dad for 100 smackers. It last ran 2 years ago when he first got it. I intend on making it a road legal off road bike, like the YBR 125G (which I only discovered today). The bike needs a bit if work, mainly cosmetic and a new battery. My question is does anyone know if the "G" parts with a standard YBR? I'll make a project topic when I get going on it.

What's the deal? I'm seeing more and more cars and vans driving about with what seems to be tinted number plates. Surely this isn't right?

£40 for mine, went round some local fab shops with a gasket to size up some stainless pipe, got a section for free then took it too another aluminium/stainless fab shop and they did it, took about 1 hour http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0314.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0315.jpg

I've got a couple of weeks off work in September with the other half. Wales is a place we've never been. Does anyone recommend it for a 4/5 day holiday?

Crisis averted (I think). Managed to get the rest of the bolt out the hole. Screwed one of the old bolts and it takes a decent hold on the remaining threads. A shed load of locktite and maybe a spot weld for extra safety and it will be the next owners problem! Now just to get the other 2 out, hopefully I will have learnt from my mistakes..........

I think I'll just get a shop do to that. Just dreading the price it will cost!

So trying to reverse drill the broken header bolt out and I've some how managed to actually to break the hole instead, as in a piece broke off the edge of the hole on the head itself. Not a happy chap. What's my options here? New head?

My mate has been a tyre fitter for years and he always replaces the valve. I think it's company procedure

Cool! I'm just waiting on my left handed drill bits to arrive so I can tackle that 3 sheared bolts. Dousing in plus gas in the mean time. Wish me luck

So I'm safe to just shove a rag all down in there?

Is the a gasket I'm looking at? If so how do I get the damn thing out! http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/jojo-clyro/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0300.jpg

OK, cheers guys, going to borrow a drill from work tomorrow and give it a bash
