2007 YAMAHA YBR125 Owners Manual

WARNING1. It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tyre. When a tyre
tread begins to show lines,
have a YAMAHA dealer replace
the tyre immediately.
WheelsTo ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
1. Always inspect the wheels before
a ride. Check for cracks, bends or
warpage of the wheel. Be sure the
spokes are tight and undamaged.
If any abnormal condition exists in
a wheel, consult a YAMAHA
dealer. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel is
deformed or cracked, it must be
replaced.
2. Tyres and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and
shortened tyre life.3. Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tyre since the tyre
surface must first be broken in for
it to develop its optimal
characteristics.PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

WARNING
WARNING

Drive chain lubricationThe chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore, the
chain must be serviced regularly.
This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty areas.
1. The drive chain should be
lubricated every 5,000 km.
2. To clean the chain thoroughly,
remove it from the Motorcycle,
dip it in solvent, and clean out as
much dirt as possible. Then, take
the chain out of the solvent to dry
it, and then dip the chain in oil of
20W40. Remove the chain and
hang it on a peg for a while till the
excess oil drips down completely.
Then using a clean cloth wipe the
chain.
Cable inspection and
lubricationDamage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable
movement. Replace damaged
cables as soon as possible to
prevent unsafe conditions.
Lubricate the cables with anti-
corrosive oil and cable ends. If a
cable does not operate smoothly,
ask a YAMAHA dealer to replace it.
Recommended lubricant:
20W40 Type SG
Throttle cable and grip
lubricationThe throttle twist grip assembly
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the
grip must be removed to get at the
end of the throttle cable. After
removing the screws, hold the end
of the cable up in the air and put in
several drops of lubricant. With the
throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface of the grip assembly
with a suitable all purpose grease.
