Cut Out

Bought a little Yamaha YFZ 125r as a stop gap on Monday. All fine on the test ride so parted with the cash.

Went to the fuel station to fill it up on Tuesday. Fueled up, went to put it into 1st and it cuts out. A friend suggested that it was the side stand switch so collected the bike in a van and replaced that. However, it made no difference.

Clutch lever has no purchase (feels disconnected) and still experiencing the same issue. Any thoughts or advice? Shocked

Have you checked the clutch cable? Were there any noises coming from the engine/gearbox while you were riding it?

I did and the cable is in one piece. No noises as I was riding it.

Did the bike jolt forwards when selecting fist gear?

Jaffa, yes, exactly what happens...

Put it in first, pull the clutch in and see if you can roll the bike along.

No luck Nobby. Took it to a mechanic who reckons that the clutch cable has not been installed properly.

You've adjusted the cable at the lever so there's only about 1cm of free travel at the end of the lever before the cable starts moving yeah?
