To the original thread starter:

yeah, like the others, welcome to the bikers club

you will love it here, just avoid the potholes and the outrageous amount of 'oil' on the road, and you will be full A license in no time

Yeah, like some of the others, I had a ybr bike as well. It was a good commuter. I bet you like the fact that it costs pennies to run (my fiesta
car cost me about £60 per month in petrol to run where as the ybr cost me about £10 - £15) and you can filter through the traffic (and look at the annoyed people stuck in there tin cans on wheels .......not able to move whilst you wizz past )

any way, I will agree with the others, the bike is a fine starter bike as lost cost to run, and very light (you can push it around when engine turned off, it is like pushing a feather)

But beware, when it gets a bit windy, it can be pushed to the side by the wind quite easily, so remember that you have to keep counter steering .

Another thing to consider, I don't know if this is common on these bikes (mine did this and a friend who had one did this as well) make sure that you keep an eye on the oil levels, as one day I found it had no oil in it.......after the engine started to make a funny noise (I must have knackered it) got home and found a massive patch on oil on the floor in the garage......it must have leaked big time......same happened to my friends bike.
It must have been where something inside the bike corroded...and caused a leak in a seam or something.......

So just remember to keep your eye on the oil ...and check your garage for any sudden oil patches

Engines dont just crap out all their oil suddenly. Gaskets dont just let go for no reason.

I've had o rings fail on oil filters but I'd be surprised if the ybr has anything more than a strainer like the chr.
