Erm......

Haven lurked for a while, I've just signed up to post about a problem I had a few months ago and this forum came up with lots of folk with the same problem and lots ideas how to fix it with little resolution.
So. The problem is with a YBR 125 (mind's an '09 for what that's worth), if it's been sitting warming in the sun it just won't start. You turn on the ignition and you don't get the usual wee noise of the pump pumping, and the bike won't start, starter coughs but the engine just won't fire. I replaced the spark plug, I fucked about with wiring, I tried this and that and everything in between. I even had to get breakdown recovered one fine sunny day.
What finally fixed it was replacing the fuel pump. Now, the next issue is a new fuel pump is ~£300 which is a fairly hefty portion of the bike's value! But you don't need the whole thing, just the pump (and possibly more likely the filter) and I got them off ebay for about £16 (far more reasonable!)
These live inside the tank so it's a bit of a job to replace. Drain tank, sides off, seat off, tank off, undo the allen bolts and you need a few wee prying tools to separate the two parts of the pump housing to put in thenew guy. But when you do,hey fuckin presto! She works! When you turn the ignition you hear the wee pixies whirring away pressurising or whatever it is they do in there and the bike will start no matter how warm the weather.
Anyway, hope this helps someone one day! |
