Yamaha YBR 125 "big bike", $850
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 6:02 pm
Hi everyone,
What I've done:
Rebuilt carburetor
Serviced valve train (adjust valve clearances)
Replaced the tachometer w/new factory version
New rear tyre, sprockets, chain.
Bled brakes and repalced with DOT 4? synthetic fluid
Haven't touched the motor
What's wrong with it:
Motor is a little clacky when warm, so I say it's half way or more through it's life. Parts are cheap though, piston is $20, clutch disks are $13, transmission bearings are $5-7, so not much more expensive than any other "small bike". It's also carbureted, so no fuel pumps, injectors or any of that to worry about.
Gearbox is whiny in 5th gear. I'm assuming pinion shaft bearing is worn.
Seat is torn.
Odometer is broken
Bike is still 100% functioning however and doesn't burn oil.
All taxes paid, card in my name.
Story:
I bought this to ride around Phnom Penh but have since picked up a different bike. This has to go.
Still in nice condition, original chrome still shines, paint not faded except for a small part on the side panel, etc. It's a nice sized big bike for small people like me (I'm 5'7") Easy to ride around town and very light (about the same weight as a Dream 125), but at the same time takes the rough roads much better than other smaller scooters. Fuel economy is great, around 35-40 km/l and it has a massive 13 litre tank. I've only gone through 1 1/2 tankfuls on it.
Pulls hard all the way to 10k rpm and hypothetically tops out around 125 kph, but it takes a long time to get there. Being in Phnom Penh I have yet to go faster than 55 on it.
