found a random part under the motorbike seat?

[Jjquelch]

Hello

So I’ve never seen this part before inderneath my motorbike seat and it’s not connected to anything and is clearly from somewhere. It’s a grey metal canister and a part which says chrome vanadium 10ml. I have a Yamaha 125 Zfr I’ve just bought it and got it moved from a families members house I do not have a cbt

[Jjquelch]

Any idea what this is ?

[Fleck]

The top thing looks like a capacitor or condenser... Or might be an ignition coil which steps up the voltage for the spark plug.

The bottom thing is out of what's termed a 'socket set' and it's used together with a lever to undo 10mm nuts

its a 10mm socket

[FallingDown]

its a 10mm socket

 

And it's made from Chrome Vanadium

So that's where all the 10mm sockets go to.

[Guest Richzx6r]

But is it a multi point socket or hex? That is the question

[Jjquelch]

Wtf why would it just be there laying there inside my seat? Is that the reason why it won’t turn on? Very strange I leave it at my aunties and they’re not too keen about me having a bike and the day I go take it back to my house this part is just sitting inside the seat not attached to anything ? Do you think someone has purposely removed it? Or can this happen? Im so confused. Thanks for the replies people

[FallingDown]

I'm not sure we are ever going to solve that mystery my friend. But a pic of your aunt may help with our enquiries.

[Jjquelch]

Loool this guy

I think you need to hand your bike over to a bike shop or someone with some experience.

No offence meant, but if you don't know what a 10mm socket is you shouldn't be attempting to repair a motorcycle.

[Jjquelch]

Yeah your right bro

I’m just trying to figure out how it’s just appeared there

If I can’t turn it on this morning I’m gonna get a mechanic to come

1.Must be the first person to ever find a 10mm socket

2.& Not know its significance

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

You bought a second hand bike and have found a spare coil and socket under the seat

Maybe a previous owner had put them there.

No mention in the first post of it not turning on. So what's that mean? Totally dead? Cranking but not firing?

Or is this just a wind up?

[dynax]

I would think a wind up, he might be starting to crack under the pressure of lockdown

[Bender]

1 some sort of paper

2 coil

3 socket, guessing at mult spline not hex

3 table, probably pine, definitely old as it's colour has darkened, possibly oblong might be square 99% 4 legs, probably intended for dinning from, not sure how that ended up under your seat though.

Usually motorbikes end up in bits on them, you have just started on that slippery slope, starts with a couple of bits, by next weekend the engine will be on it.

No I’m not I’m not an experienced rider it’s my first bike but every time I’ve tried to turn it on before the dashboard lights up and now it doesn’t I can’t even turn the key all the way round to the ignition it’s locked after one click and normally after the one click the dashboard lights up. I don’t wanna waste people’s time on here if your intrigued to laugh at me and also help with this issue let me know my snapchat is joshua_q07 or my Instagram is joshuaarmani_

[Bianco2564]

If the key is stuck try some wd40 in the barrel and gently wriggle the key, don't go crazy as keys can be easily snapped.

Is the battery fully charged?

[Bender]

No one is laughing at you mate, but we do have a sense of humor.

Is the steering lock holding it locked have you tried slightly moving the bars?

[Fleck]

Yes definitely what Bender says. If there is pressure on the steering lock the key is difficult to turn. Move the handlebars as you try and turn the key.

The big item is a fuel pump for inside the petrol tank.

Check ebay for ZFR125 pump.

As for the chrome vanadium item I've no idea maybe it's from the Flux Capacitor.

Which could give a clue to why it won't start

[Jjquelch]

Oh okay thanks for the response bro

So I just need to put that back and should be good

Don’t really want to pay for a mechanic at this ngl but if worse comes to worse and I can’t put that back I’ll call one

[Jjquelch]

So I’m assuming the fuel pump thing is attached to a fuel pump at the station and used? What’s the actual use of that item? Lmao

Thanks for the help so far

Can the chrome vanadium be attached back without a mechanic?
