Is it a yamaha ybr 125? If so that lock holds the side panel on, the battery and a small tool kit are under the panel It is one of three contact points holding the panel on, the other two are above it at either end of the panel - carefull taking the panel off as the one towards front of the bike is a peg which snaps easily, the one towards the back is a hook which also snaps easily Similar story on the other side only it's a screw in place of the lock and that panel hides the air filter In order, open the lock/remove screw, gently prize the peg out of it's slot - try getting your hand behind the panel and pushing it out rather than pulling it, then pull the panel gently towards you and towards the front of the bike to release the hook Hope this helps Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

Hmmm, it's worth a try at that price! I guess even if I do mess it up, I'm only back where I started. Thanks for the link, I wasn't sure exactly which bit I needed Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

Just got the price - £160, ouch And it needs a new back tyre which puts it up to well over £300... Anybody want to buy a single speed ybr? Edit; I should add the bike was only £650 so £300+ seems alot Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

The clutch lever certainly would've been worse! Though I have already snapped the throttle cable... That was fairly bad Hmmm, sounds like a big job, and one which I don't have all the tools for - might have to brace myself and call the garage... Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

Just my chuffing luck, got to leave work early, beautiful day - time for a ride Got to the end of the estate and the gear lever falls off bollox On closer inpection the splined shaft has snapped - due to a bodged repair by the previous owner Any ideas on how big a job this is to fix? It's a 2005 YBR 125, any help on what I need, how to do it or what it might cost would be appreiciated Thanks in advance

Got the standard oxford grips on mine, seemed alright but it did develop a habit of conking out at junctions... I would look into the lite grips Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

You're gonna get told to head to a shop and try stuff on as sizing varies with brand, material, style etc... Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

My CBT instructor told me steel caps were a bad idea as if they get pushed/folded backwards they can cut your toes off

Hey! I'm from near Dunston (Newbottle) and ride a 125 Checking your posts date though you've probably got your DAS by now...
