Yamaha YBR 125 blog valve clearance adjustment tappets







Just done a tappets adjustment on and engine i have removed , ill be fitting the engine soon so ill take some photos of this as i go along .

this is a very easy job with engine out or in .

make sure you change the o-rings you might get away with it but more often than not no and oil will leak
especially around the cam sprocket cover and drip onto exhaust causing excess smoke .
