things to check before you take your Yamaha YBR 125  out for a ride .

ok so i do not do this myself every time tbh , i should but i am pretty sure my bike is in very good overall mechanical condition , but if you have a long journey or use you bike everyday for commuting it might be wise to check you bike regular .
or even after a long holiday when its not been used often .

Start engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes .

Check oil level  - do not screw in dipstick just test by pushing in not screwing back or you will get wrong readings

Yamaha YBR 125 oil - 10w 40 use the best you can find .

i use Castrol 10w 40 buy it here on Ebay uk or here on Amazon UK 

if you are losing engine oil or topping up regular youll need to find source of leak/loss , engine joints
oil seals , gasket failure if not the engine itself could be burning off oil , check for white smoke .

Tyres

check tyres for correct pressure (cold)  , correct tread depth and overall good condition no tears to side wall
etc , check the valve condition also as this is major cause of flat tyres .

Brake fluid checks  ( DOT 4 )

this is something that a lot of people neglect , change your brake fluid regular i hate seeing bikes

with filthy brake fluid , flush it out keep it clean ! .

if your fluid is low check brake pads as they are most likely worn , do not top up fluid until

new pads are fitted.

if you are having to top up fluid regular , then there is a leak and this will need to be found and repaired.

check operation of the brake both of them before riding the bike on the road .
