Hi, guys update here found the problem. What is happening is that the Kickstarter gear doesn't want to disengage and remains in the engaged. Couldn't get a video because didn't wanna risk anything but I got a picture https://imgur.com/a/fdybUmO

Will do, Thanks for the advice mate

Thanks, I'll try that

No, Every morning I start the motorcycle beforehand and let it run for a few minutes while I have my morning cup of tea and the motorcycle sounded prefect, No strange noises. When I arrived and told about the issue the motorcycle I had the motorcycle running by him. So I doubt it. and the motorcycle was there the week before when I was getting my break pads sorted, So he had heard the motorcycle run before aswell.

When I take the cover off do you know for what things I should look out for? And thank you for the reply!

Hi, I have a Yamaha YBR 125 Custom 2008 and the battery wasn't charging on it. So I left in my local motorcycle shop yesterday morning and came to pick in up this morning he said it was the alternator and I needed to replace it. I said that's ok I'll order one next week. We walked down to the motorcycle and I started it and all of a sudden it sounded like death, I mean that. Cranking and Crunching like there's no tomorrow. And just turn around and say wtf is going on. He goes oh I think your kickstart is getting stuck.(I started the motorcycle with the starter, not the kickstart) And he says that's the way he got it but when I left it off the day before the motorcycle was absolutely fine I mean it. He says he thought I was riding it like that I was shocked. could anyone give me some advice on what to do with the motorcycle? The sound is coming out from in around the kickstart and doesn't stop if you give it revs. The engine runs on Carol 4T oil and gets changed as recommended by the manual, Only ever gets BP ultimate petrol. I'm heartbroken about what's going on. This motorcycle is my only means of travel at the moment. Please help!
