Changing the Exhaust! - Yamaha YBR125 (and other 125cc bikes)

[@potnoodles4life171]

Where did you learn you stuff about motorbikes? Trying to what I can about them so I can look after my YBR the best way I can. I know how to do a simple service and have cleaned the chain myself aswell with no trouble but wanna learn more.

[@BikerBrad72]

I was always into car videos like drifting and turbo builds etc so i got a lot of general engine knowledge there, then i did marine engineering at college. I then built a motorised pushbike with a kit from ebay, and I bought a childrens 50cc quad bike. I eventually blew them both up and rebuilt them both and ive been blowing my own bikes up and destroying them ever since 😂😂😂 All my thrashing around and breaking shit taught me a lot about repairs as I’ve always been to cheap to pay someone else

[@BikerBrad72]

Also Ive owned big bikes etc but nothing beats a YBR on the fun scale

[@syrea793]

Glad to see people putting out easy to understand vids for the amateurs to learn from. Kudos to you, but during the video I could see the state of your chain. It's had a hard winter mate, so give it a treat and drench it in some chain and drive lube (£4 from Toolstation) and check your tension. Great work getting it looking shipshape buddy!

[@BikerBrad72]

Sorry i took so long to reply! I really appreciate it, i want anyone to be able to work on there bikes. No fancy pants words etc, just do it sorta thing. I’ve learned the hard way so you guys dont have to haha

[@projectclark123]

Really good video

Ur entertainment man, keep it up

Hi Brad I’ve been invited to a private race where we have to have a stock looking ybr125 and do a 12hour endurance race called race to crimson and was wondering if u have any suggestions to improve performance without loosing reliability

[@chrisdalby9093]

Love the video has really helped me do you have any on changing front and rear break on ybr as can’t find any decent video on how to do this

[@BikerBrad72]

I dont and i dont have one to show with right now. I know a fair bit though, whats going on?

[@maroo1849]

Hi I have an 08 YBR 125 custom, I can't find a custom exhaust so will buy a non-custom one.. But I dont know how different the bracket needs to be to fit onto custom? Should I buy a new one or can i get an adapter?

[@BikerBrad72]

Hi! Both the YBR and YBR Custom exhausts are interchangeable and fit on both models, despite how different the bikes look :)

[@SlightlyDazed.]

If you want to fit a non custom exhaust you will also need the rear footpeg/exhaust piece off the non custom to mount it to

[@maroo1849]

@@SlightlyDazed. this is what i thought, the custom either needs the bit from the non-custom or to make a bespoke mounting adapter. You cant fit a standard exhaust onto a custom unfortunately

[@LeFev3R]

Was sat watching this for 5 minutes before I realised that’s my bike 😂

[@BikerBrad72]

What do you mean mate?

[@LeFev3R]

I mean Im the guy who bought this bike off your mate 😂

[@BikerBrad72]

@@LeFev3R Fair play mate its rapid haha. I owned it first and i fitted the 150 etc which youll see uploaded a few years back. I sold it to my mate before he wanted me to fix it

[@Joseph-mm4zu]

My old/original exhaust gasket's jammed in place, is that normal? I've just been 're using it.. Reckon I should try knocking it out with a screw driver next time I have to take the exhaust off? Cheers

[@BikerBrad72]

Yes mate would be a good idea to put a new one in. Not a big deal though, and if it seals and doesn’t leak/theres no black build up around it, then crack on and leave it! :)

[@xxTrivxx92]

surely the original battery was better than the one you swapped out for

[@carlcantalapiedra4248]

What was the speed increase with the 150 kit

[@svivert0594]

Is the ybr the same as ys125 to take off the exhaust system?

[@BikerBrad72]

Most probably the same mate although they are different bikes

[@svivert0594]

Thank’s JBS Garage:)

[@lewisstevenson2943]

I have a ybr 2007,where did you get your exhaust from?

[@BikerBrad72]

Ebay mate

[@rescuecomplex5115]

Hi. Is the exhaust a knockoff or original?

[@BikerBrad72]

Hi mate im unsure and ive got rid of the paper work. Sorry!

[@SeverBalu]

What!? You are on a budget!? You paid how much for the exhaust and you can't afford £1 and 30 pence for a crucial gasket!?!?

[@BikerBrad72]

Not crucial. Its copper and can crush again

[@stu3y69]

Are you still available to chat?

[@damianboljevic4280]

How can i tune that bike?

[@BikerBrad72]

Power commander for a WR125 :)

[@MatteVh--]
