I found the same happened on my NSR, I just turned OFF to the ON position and it stopped might be worth a try before you spend any money.

You don't need one to pass an MOT.. So you could just leave it.

That's what I was thinking, the lense is misted up so there's obviously moisture in there so that can't be good! Might just by a replacement light as tail tidy's are so expensive!!!

Well it works fine with the original tail light unit but not with the led one! To be fair it looks in poor condition so I might just splash out on a new one

After a bit of investigating it was the indicator fuse that had blown so I put the new one in and hey presto everything worked again didn't try reconnecting the number plate light as I only had one spare fuse.. I don't think there was a resistor on the bike which is why it failed on the MOT as the front brake light didn't come on immediately it flickered and sometimes didn't do anything!! So if I put the tail tidy back on what sort of resistor do I need? By the way thanks everyone for your help

I did have a quick look yesterday but didn't have much time, I've disconnected the number plate light and its still the same which makes me suspect its a fuse

Right so I changed the rear tail tidy on my bike back the the standard one because it failed the MOT and when I turned the bike on I had nothing no lights indicators horn basically anything on the left hand side of the handle bars, also I have no digital display. I will just add the old tail tidy was just an led tail light and 2 indicators, and the one I've fitted has a standard rear light 2 indicators and a number plate light. I think the number plate light is causing the problem because I checked the light and indicators before I fitted it to the bike and they worked it wasn't until I connected the number plate light that the problem started. I'm hoping it is just a fuse gone want to get her MOT'd tomorrow. By the ways it's a Yamaha WR125R 2010 Thank youu Edit: Forgot to mention the bike starts and the kill switch works.

Performance wise it can be a number of things, tyres, tyre pressure, chain, sprockets, chain tension, spark plugs, engine oil, air filter, fuel etc etc etc

I get what you're saying Steve but the caliper is attached to a mounting bracket and that's where the slider goes into. I've looked online and you can remove the two to separate the caliper and mounting bracket but I can't find a guide anywhere! Could it be that the slider pictured is just held in place in the mounting bracket? From the pictures I've seen when the caliper is removed from the mounting bracket all that's left is the other slider (not pictured) and a hole.

I'll see if I can pull that rubber bit back, the other slider has a nut so it might be that. If all else fails I'll go see my local yamaha dealers and ask them

That's the thing, there isn't one! The bit you can see is just a perfectly round head no spanner will fit it..

I took my bike for its MOT and it failed because of a sticking rear brake. I've taken the rear wheel off and had a look at the brake caliper and it seems one of the sliders has seized up. I can't work out how to remove the slider though, I've taken a picture of the slider in question there just isn't anywhere to remove the bolt one end it a round head and the other is the end of the bolt. Any ideas? Bike is a 2010 Yamaha WR 125R http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae119/AdamWhymer/image-3.jpg The bottom is the round head, the black bit is something rubber and the top bit is where the bolt goes into.

A lot of people say you aren't supposed to rev a cold engine, it will warm itself up.

My nomination goes to the driver of a flat bed truck who decided to swerve over from one lane to the other forcing the car in front of me to slam their brakes on to avoid being side swiped which then caused me to slam my brakes on as well! I have a second nomination as well further down the road there are road works so the traffic was backed up (it's a wide road with enough space for 2 cars side by side) and a mondeo driver decided it was okay to park his lump of metal with his wheels on the white lines forcing me to over take him on the other side of the road! And finally my third nomination goes to the driver who decided to cut another car up at a round about and nearly took him out then proceeded to argue with the guy whilst holding all the traffic up. All that happened on my ride home which takes about 10 minutes!!! But on the bright side a Subaru driver pulled over to one side to let me filter back into the traffic so he got a thumbs up from me.

I need some decals made for my bike nothing difficult just Yamaha and WR x 2 in red carbon vinyl. I already have the vinyl so can just send it to whoever can do it for me. I remember there was someone on the forum who used to make them I think his name was DeeJay but I may be wrong and haven't seen him on here for a while. If anyone can help please let me know Thanks Adam

You might as well just buy one of these http://bit.ly/19K1vWX and let them have fun trying to find it ;D

I think mine is pretty self explanatory.

That sounds just like the situation at work at the moment it's so annoying we need more staff not less!! Still looking for a new job went to apply for one the other day and laptop died so I went to reapply the next day and the job was gone

But doesn't a bump cap take the initial force away from your head and distributes it over the cap rather than pin pointing it to one area.

I know that there's a high demand for them but they must be out there somewhere?! Fozzie that CG is already sold I spoke to the guy selling it the other day looked like a nice bike as well! I already have an NSR but its not working at the moment might take it to the garage but its not really an ideal commuter.. Was considering selling it but its at my mums and I'm hardly ever there so it would be a hassle to sell it!

I've been looking for a cheap commuter 125 for months now but can't find one no matter how hard I look for the money I'm looking to spend in my area. I'm looking to spend around the £500 mark for anything really other than a scooter or Chinese piece of crap, and I've been looking on gumtree daily and eBay and every week just googling 125's for sale in norwich I don't know what else I can do to find one.. I don't have a car or access to one so it needs to be in my area, any suggestions? Just getting so frustrated with the nice weather and all the bikes on the road I wanna get out there!! Rant over

At my old job we worked in every ikea in the country installing pallet lifts and conveyor systems and at every store we had to watch the same 2 hour H&S video which was exhilarating! We aren't allowed to changed lightbulbs at work unless we're "lightbulb trained".

Yes one for 2 stroke oil and just a normal petrol tank!

To be fair it sounds more like the dealers fault for not servicing the bike before selling it to you..

Your step dad must have a multi meter, check the voltage of the battery it should be around 12-13v. It sounds like you got it bump started already so you should be able to do it yourself, I do with my nsr. Just put your key in ignition on run down the road and put it into first or second. I find first easier because you just put your foot on the gear lever, remember to pull the clutch in straight away otherwise the bike will go for a ride by itself!! You can do it whilst sitting on the bike away just try to find a slope it'll make it a bit easier.
