Hey there, I am a new guy on this forum and have been having a little bit of trouble with the bike I bought recently.
I purchased a second hand 1998 yz 125, And all was well for the first few weeks, then I noticed when riding in second gear it would some times slip into neutral? Plus there seemed to be these hidden half gears that the bike would go into, For EX slipping between 3-4 and 4-5th gears into a gear where it would just wind out and there would be no power. I always use the clutch when changing gears and I run my bike at a 32-1 mixture. The last time I rode the bike it was working but there was no build up to the power band, it would just wind out before you really got moving...
I have receipts for a top end rebuild last year, So compression is not the problem. Transmission? Clutch? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
I want to go RIDING!!
Thanks in advance, Symon.
