    was thinking why my dash light suddenly died " what the f***k is wrong with the thing " then decided to investigate and this is what happend

    looked at the dial to see if the light was still out

    which it was so though right lets get taking this plastic off
    IMAG0109.jpg
    finally did that and then got the grey rubber bulb holder out of it mount and took the bulb out and it looked like this
    IMAG0108.jpg
    might not be able to see it very well but the filament isnt attached at both end's which there lie's the problem sorted job done :)

    then moved onto check the spark plug to see how its looking and here's 2 pics of it
    IMAG0111.jpg IMAG0112.jpg
    think it looks ok don't seem to be running rich but maybe a little lean but it had a new plug ,oil,oil filter + fuel filter on its last service which was at 9,862 miles its now on 10,613 so not too bad ,, here's the oil
    IMAG0113.jpg also looks in good condition , if it was a dark colour then i'd get changing it but it's all good

    thanks for looking every one :)

    They are good bikes, never had any problems with them, is it an injection model?

    we just got a new yzf 125 at work, still in the crate. looks like a good spec, USD forks, huge disk brake up front, much better built than the older model, looking forward to getting it out the crate and riding it for the first time

    yeah the exhausts are shit, typical 125 tho, i prefer the ybr125 really, makes the same power and is lighter, plus its easier to work on and cheaper

    Al agree to that , ybr's done have half of Shit the Shit in the way that other bikes do like taking the dash out was 2 screws at the from and disconnect Speedo cable n done. Just as long as the wires r out lol. I would ideally have a yzf 125 but it gives my back problems like no other bike
