right then guys here we go!!

FAILURE LIST

  1. Front Position Lamp does not illuminate immediately when switched on (1.1.3a)
  2. Rear Position lamp does not not illumintaeon dipped beam (1.2.2a(i))
  3. Headlamp at least one does not illuminate on dipped beam (1.2.2a(i))
  4. (all) Direction indicator affected by the operation of another lamp (1.5.1c)
  5. Headlamp aim not tested(1.6)
  6. Front wheel spoke excessively loose (4.2.1b)
  7. Rear wheel spoke missing (4.2.1b)
  8. Front tyre is incorrectly seated on the wheel rim (4.1.2b)
  9. Rear mono-shock insecure (2.4.B.4) **DANGEROUS**
  10. Rear wheel bearings have excessive free play (2.4.a.2C)
  11. Rear suspension bush has excessive free play (2.4.A2a(i))
  12. Locking devices not correctly fitted which may make the motor bicycle dangerous to ride (6.2.1h)
  13. Locking device(s) not correctly fitted which may make the motor bicycle dangerous to ride (6.2.1h)

ADVISORIES

Rear wheel has a slightly distorted bead rim (4.2.2)

SO...

 

1,2,3 & 5 are because my headlight and rear light bulb blew.. one on the way and the other when i started it up this morning..

Number 4 - indicators stop working when the brake pressed.. did work fine this morning...

6,7 & 8 as it says

9. apparently it's missing a nut on the bolt that goes through the bottom, im sure this was put back on..

10 & 11 are as it says so new rear wheel bearing and new A-Arm bushes

12 & 13 baffled me a bit, apparently the split pin circlip thingy has to go on a specific way (mines the opposite way)!!

 

so there we go.. at £35ph hour he better only take an hour, possibly 2!!

Well... Went for a great ride today to the MOT which was booked for 10.30!! So got 3/4 of the way there and there was no mechanical resistance in my clutch lever... Thinking it was the cable, I managed to isJust it at the lever an off I went.. 5 minutes later, the same bloody thing happened, so once again I adjusted the cable at the lever, got outside the testing station and guess what.. Same bloody thing happened!! I got into the testing station and told the mechanic what had happened and he tried the same thing as me and adjusting the cable.. I said what I done on the way there and he seems to think something inside has given up.. Anyway, I asked him if he could still do the MOT and he carried in with it... Wish I never got it MOT'd now, a total if 13 items on the failure list.. Not happy!! I've now left the bike there for him 2 do the work and I can pick it up in 2 weeks(payday)... I will list the failures when I get home(on mobile at moment) to see if anyone has any parts etc to save me some cash!! Oh and to top that off, I got home earlier and there was a parcel for me... Bkoody bike jacket I won on eBay for £3.20 just to rub it in a little more!!!

same here!!!

I took the bike to a Highly recommended bloke in Exmouth.. I was going to take it to Massamsof Colyton but after the problems I had, i thought it would be best to take it somewhere else.. oh well, in just over 2 weeks i'll have my bike back!!

Just hope now that the clutch problem wont cost 2 much!!

Wheres these circlips/split pins 12&13 situated at? and when you say A-arm you mean swing arm right? those bushes are about 80 quid, and you'll probably spend an hour getting the buggers out if they're seized.

no the circplip thingy is the split link securing pin

The A-arm is the relay arm
http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/epc2.asp?modelID=9132&PageiD=22&m=YAMAHA+DT125R+++1999+REAR+ARM&uID=0 (number 13) it's the bushes in there - according to yamaha you need 4

Found with bikes it tends to be an MOT lottery who you get / where you go

Cars seem to be much more constant with results

Mine was similar to yours, ended up re building most of it :D

Good luck with the list though, one at a time and they will soon be fine

cheers Harry!!

now with the clutch problem... does anyone know if the Ballbearing can break down or missing... i definately put the BB in, how can i get it back out with the pushrods without totally stripping the bike again?

heres a link i found earlier with a very similar problem...

OMG!

I've pm'd ya coastie. Sounds like you'll have to strip the clutch though, unless its just your clutch cable stretching when it's about to snap. When you've removed the clutch pressure plate, just lean the bike over and the ball bearing should fall out (if it's in there!). I've never known one to break up though.

http://dt125r.activeboard.com/t48467947/clutch-has-gone/

ya can borrow my wheels for the MOT, and I didn't want to insult yer intelligence by telling you to lean the bike over, I'd presumed you'd already tried that.

cheers NEV!!

i'll let you know, i've sent a list to Jerry to see what he can come up with!!

I've got a long magnet thingy i picked up from trago so going to give that a go but i know it wont fit in the hole!!

will let you know once i've got the bike back..

whats your views on the lights issue?? i'm thinking regulator/rectifier - indicators stop working when brake pressed.. There new LED indicators, Resistors, LED Relay etc so doing my head in!! at this rate im going to get all the boys from here down one weekend and get everyone working on it!!!

Just need a van now to get this bloody bike back, cant risk riding it back and getting problems again!!

Check the rear brake switch wires just incase you have the wires arse about tit, the wattage on the halogen bulb isn't too high is it? as for the led indicators, possible relay issues? Brian Loram where I have my bike at the min is gearing up to do MOT's in the near future, John T's at Newton is usual place I take mine to, strict on safety aspects but lenient on the other stuff I've found.

oh dear what a list lol

wheel bearings and spokes u shuda done any way as there cheap as chips and if uv built the bike from the ground up i always change all bearings in and arround the chassis

looks like its gonna be expensive if ur paying some one to do it

id ov just fetched it home and had a play address 1 issue at a time, if there conna start stripping the clutch there gonna want to put gaskets/oils/coolant labour while they find the problem

& bbs are hardened they dont really wear in there there bathed in oil and wear a dimple in the ends of the rods if owt

whats the battery like is it at full chat with just ign on

most spokes have to be cut out as they sieze solid and snap most of the time so id tek nev up

good luck with the work mate and keep us posted

need to find ur self a nice back water mot shop lol

Right just an update, I'm fishing the bike back over the next couple of days, getting the parts off DeeTeemx, I've also found out what could be wrong with the clutch...

Cleaning me garage out today and there's a small shiny thing rolling around the floor!!!!

Bloody BB!!!

Yes I know I'm a ****!!!!

Quite surprised it lasted 13 miles... Perhaps thats a lucky number for me!!!
