I had a phase 1 306 as my first car, such good memories. The Phase 3 still looks fresh after all these years

love 306s keep her going if you can

What intermediate tyres would you recommend since we have alot of rain in the uk?

I remember going to buy a slightly different plastic thermostat housing for a 1.9TD years ago, a mine wasn't flat and wasn't sealing. The parts guy quoted the price off the top of his head and picked the part off the shelf immediately behind the counter. They must have sold a lot of those !

Thanks for watching 👍

Still have my bought from new 306 TDLX 1.9 turbo diesel after 27 years. The only electrical fault I get is if I put the key into the doorlock {both plippers are goners} in wet weather, without first wiping it dry. If I don't do that, the speedo and rev counter stop working, and I think also the radio. If that happens, I have to simply remove fuses 25 and 28, put the same ones back in, then all's fine again. Must be a relay or something. Can't be bothered to trace it, I just have a bit of cut off face flannel on the keyring. Fred Flintstone stuff !

no idea what youre on about. I wanted to hear about the bike

Best off fitting a gps tracker like i have,it notifys you by text soon as bike is started,£20 off amazon and about £70 subscription for the year

Congratulations - your accumulator came in!

Didn’t see you at pugfest this year with the little 106 😢

What I done when I bought my MT125 used the guy had 2 different keys. One was for the ignition the other was for the fuel and I didnt even have the seat key. I had to go to a Yamaha dealer to buy the lock assembly which was I believe ~£150 for the locks but its so nice having one key for all

Just subbed, love your content! Im 55 and always wanted a bike. My parents wouldn't let me get one growing up as my dad was a fireman and attended some serious bike accidents. My wife isn't keen either, but im so ready to start my journey now on a 125. 38 years driving a car, but long for a bike still. I have some money behind me now, so looking at bikes and watching a lot of content. Your channel has inspired me even more

I'm sure the run over to Ipplepen was well worth the 'runs' you had the following day 😆 I did wonder which of us would post first. Mine comes out on Friday ;-) I'm so happy you finally did that run with us, I'd been hoping it would happen for a while!

Glad to see the 125 still getting out, looks like a lovely part of the country too

Road trip lol

sorry to hear that buddy ❤

But a 2 stroke DTR engine in it or road bike equivalent , you don’t need to cut the ignition wires you can just pull the white box

They obvs knew bike was there to come equipped with the right tools , portable grinders and cutters have made it easy for them this day and age. My advice is get something really noise that triggers when messed with ie an alarm or a self made security system of sort.

Gutted for u, mate. I'm glad u got it, back ❤ I sold my yzfr125 was so gutted 😢 I have now got a yamaha r1 🎉

Not a hefty chain if croppers can get through it, time to upgrade security.

Is your 125 named rafiki? Rafiki wamemuiba ?? :( Pole sana

I’m about to buy a 125 and this is giving me anxiety because I live in an apartment so even with an alarm and tracker, it would take me a few minutes to wake up and get to the underground parking if someone was trying to steal the bike 😔🤬.

I am SO glad you got Rafiki back. I was shocked when you told me. I'm always nervous leaving mine anywhere!

What a terrible news, shame for the damage and the stress, but I'm glad you got your pride and joy back :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wasn't expecting you to turn around and say you found him... So glad you got him back mate take care! 🙂

I have one and would't sell either. Happy to see that you recovery the bike. I have mounted a alarm on mine but have to make that secret too 😉

Really enjoyed watching Rafiki, you’re videos are great especially being an older beginner (37) myself, I hope to keep my 125 also when test is done, really happy for you getting you’re bike back, hopefully back to full health soon😊

Sorry for your lost. I have almost exactly the same 125 like yours was.

Ah mate... I'm so sorry! I hope to god its OK....

Does it wanna tank slap, and the back wheel wanna slide in the corner?

This is brilliant

Not much nicer than a night ride around the Bay :-)

I’ve been to a few this year, from Exeter, lovely weather when we went, about 30m visibility in fog!

I got a second hand one of these last November as a leaner bike. Second hand and cat N for about £2100 but only 850 miles on the clock. Kind of wish I maybe bought it brand new. Ive really liked it so far. Hope to get my unrestricted in the next few months and upgrade. Wish Lexmoto did more powerful models....

Your a lucky guy , the best part of the British coast , dawlish, torquey, painghton love it , ride safe 👍👍👍

100 percent true and write keep grinding will pay of bro 🫶😎🔥

[BRRRRZZZTTT] World-wide, long ago, car makers switched to spring clips as they respond to vast temperature changes, both the parts and the ambient temps. A little bit for costs, but overwhelmingly to eliminate warranty comebacks due to leaks. Worm-drive clips will be done up fine when you fit them... and then leak when the first deep cold snap hits, as they get looser when the hose material contracts at low temps. Conversely, at very high temperatures, they are now too tight as the hose expands at a different rate than the clamp, resulting in the hose being over-stressed and failing early. We've all seen cartoonishly swollen hoses barely held in place by worm-drive clamps. There is an alternative worm gear drive than can somewhat respond to temp changes: they have Belleville washers stacked on the worm drive, to provide both static and dynamic tension. They're frequently used on turbo ducting on very large, heavy duty engines such as off-road equipment or Semis/HGVs. Standard worm drive clamps rely on the elasticity of the hose material as the 'spring''. But that 'spring' ain't consistent, nor long-lived. They do make tight-access tools that attach to the spring clips with the actuating pistol grip at the other end of a flexible cable. You may be re-visiting those hoses sooner than you think. #WatchWesWork has a couple videos discussing this.

I'm locked in now 😂. Making my way through the back log but I have to watch the new one first!

Just found your bike parked! Subscribed, bike looks awesome btw!

When checking the chain are you meant to measure pulling it down abit aswell and then adding the up and down slack together

I 100% need mine for my own well-being. I have a car but it is only used for work and my big shop. I've put on 6,000 miles on my bike since September, and just 700 on my car ;-)

I love the fact that whatever you have to go to people are really suprised and confused that you turn up on a bike. We are just like the people from the Netherlands bikes but alot faster.

I had a uni lecturer who used to commute every day of the week on a Ducati 998. Cant remember if he had a car. I think he did but he obviously preferred the bike a lot more.

The master cylinder wouldn't bleed? Sounds as if you bled the system dry before filling with fresh fluid. Tip: install a banjo bolt with an integrated bleed nipple on the master cylinder. Makes bleeding any hydraulic system much easier.
