Hi I'm planing at looking at 2 ybrs tomorrow which the hope of buying one of them ones a 12 plate and the other is a 09 plate both have 17k on the clock


Other than a hpi , tyers , smoke from the exhaust , oil leaks , brake pads , and chain and sprockets what else should I be looking for

Thanks guys

Get them to start from cold is always rule number 1 :thumb: Also see the paperwork


If the guy doesn't point out the damaged bits he's hiding something and be suspicious


And if it doesn't feel right trust your gut and walk away there's a lot of bikes out there

Have a butchers on youtube there's some good vids if you want a full checklist to go through. In addition to your list i would be thinking about checking all the electrics work, rust in the petrol tank, steering moves freely, brakes work and there's nothing weird happening on the front end when you brake, oil from forks leaking, knackered hoses etc.


And see if they've ever posted on a forum claiming ybr's continue to work despite having no oil

Hi thanks for the help I picked up a Suzuki tux 125 and after 2 hours of cleaning it's looking smart


The one thing I need to do is a service is there a web page like euro car parts but for bikes so I can put the reg no in and it will come up with all the parts that will fit


Thanks guys

Dont think you will find a bike specific service manual for this one , but the Suzuki GN125 manual will suffice , if you need one I have a digital copy. Bill
