Hi just brought a Yamaha YZ 125 1991 model.
Its been sitting in the last owners shed for 5 months as he was unable to start it.
Affter changing fuel and plug it now starts affter a few good kicks with choke.
Now when i try to pull away the bike some times dies or if i give it a handfull of throtle seems to lurch forward a couple of inchs then stop then lurch again etc. allmost like a clutch slip but a realy odd one i have never seen before if it is. its allmost like a wave of slip if that makes sence, with peaks and dips.
also if its IN gear and i kick it with the clutch out it wont start but i would expect it to jump forward and it dont. (did this by mistake)
all adjusters seem to be at the min adjusting but moving the adjusters out seem to make little to no diff.
Could this be where its been standing or was i conned and its got a totaly shagged clutch? or is it something i havent thought of like maybe low compresion?
Compleat newbie with this type of bike, i expected to just start it and ride it.
