YBR Custom - Slower after repairs

[Seansmit17]

Hey all, Not a new user but my old account got banned for posting dating sites.. why on earth someone would take the account to post that here is a mystery.. but anyway.

I was recently hit head on at a junction, Dipshit cut the corner.

I not long finished fixing up the damage to the front end and also had to fit a new exhaust. Its one for the standard YBR and not the Custom but they have the same engine.

I think my issues are due to the exhaust.

I used to be able to get up to 65mph with ease and then slowly get up to 68-70mph but now the bike seems to hit a wall at 60mph and just wont get past it.

Is it the exhaust or could there be something else going on? And can it be fixed/sorted?

Thanks!

Pop this in google ( exhaust restriction on a ybr 125 ). It may help.

What sort of front end damage? Maybe the brake sticking?

With regards to the exhaust, how much have you replaced? Just the end can or the whole system? Is the old exhaust/system in a usable state that you can put it back on as a test?

Did you also replace the front wheel? It's hard to imagine that damage requiring fork and yoke replacement would not also render the front wheel unserviceable.

My point being that perhaps during service, the speedometer drive was changed, or a larger front wheel was used, causing the speedo to read slow. You might have the same performance, but only think it is slower because the speedometer is reading differently than before.

just a thought to consider.

My putty is old and dry so I need to grab some new stuff next week.

The wheel alignment should be fine as it was checked in the MOT.

The front wheel has been checked and is not twisted or bent etc front break is all good also.

It's not just a speedo reading, the revs setting at 7-8K also show that the bike is not going as fast is it did before.

I would usually see 9-10K at 65-70MPH.

I will have to get the old exhaust on to confirm if its that but I will do that once I got some new putty for the hole and I have some days off next week.
