what bike is it? i assume it's not starting? are you not able to perform any of the basic checks yourself with some guidance from here?

Stan at WSB on 'the hill', westgate road keeps getting good reviews but I haven't used him.

I can only vouch for Darryl at DIT sunderland.

im in a 10k race in stockton sunday morning so it will be lateish sunday afternoon.

have you read the service manual found below,

www.gnuen.dk/binary/YBR125servicemanual.pdf

the screw/bolt you said is stuck do you think it is stuck because it's seized or because you do not have the correct size tool for it?, ill be bringing my own bike so will only be able to bring limited tools so knowing as much in advance as i can would help. do you have access to any tools?

just about any garage are likely to charge you £80+ plus to change the clutch, quick look on ebay shows new plates are less than £20. have you followed tef's advice from your workshop post and checked that a, when you pull the clutch lever the arm at the gearbox end moves and b, the front sprocket hasn't worked loose, aside from either of those 2 issues you can be fairly sure to say that on a bike you were riding perfectly fine with no grinding or banging noises before hand that suddenly won't take up drive that it's just the clutch plates have gone, id expect a failure of something such as a shaft in the gearbox to be giving quite a noticeable whine for awhile before failing so id honestly order the clutch plates and diy it

Odd, with a sequential gearbox if you push up on the pedal whilst easing off the gas it should snick into the next gear quite easily without grinding...

Downshifts are quite another matter, but if your clutch has gone phut you can get a grindy, jerky change by winding on the throttle whilst stamping down.

Or is it that this is the noise it's making whilst supposedly in a gear, and you've released the clutch, but no power is going to the wheel?

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it? And where did you find it? I'm not far from you and been 125 shopping for some friends.
