Frequently Asked Questions - YZ125LC YAMAHA

What type of gasoline to use for the Yamaha YZ125LC?
Use unleaded premium gasoline with a research octane rating of 95 or higher. Mix it with Yamalube 2-R oil in a 30:1 ratio.
How to start the engine when cold?
Put the gearbox in neutral, open the fuel tap, pull the choke fully, close the throttle, and give a vigorous kick on the kickstarter.
What is the break-in procedure for a new or rebuilt engine?
Use a gasoline/oil mixture at 15:1. Ride progressively in the first gears, check the spark plug, let it cool, then increase the revs. After 5-8 minutes, stop and check. Repeat until you can ride at full throttle. Finally, drain the break-in mixture and refill with the standard 30:1 mixture.
What checks should be performed before each use?
Check the coolant level, transmission oil level, brake condition, chain tension, tire pressure, tightness of main bolts, and proper operation of controls.
How to adjust the clutch lever play?
Loosen the locknut, turn the adjuster to obtain 8 to 13 mm play at the lever, then tighten the locknut. Fine adjustment can also be made at the lever side.
Which oil to use for the front fork and how to change it?
Use Yamaha '01' suspension oil. The standard level is 135 mm (outer tube compressed without spring). To change, drain the old oil, clean, fill with the specified amount (568 cc) and bleed the air.
How to maintain the air filter?
Remove the element, clean it with solvent, squeeze without twisting, impregnate with foam air filter oil, remove excess. Reinstall aligning the marks. Never run the engine without the filter.
What are the transmission oil change intervals?
Drain the oil after break-in, then every 3 to 5 races or according to the maintenance schedule. Use SAE 10W-30 type SE oil, capacity 0.65 L (drain) and 0.70 L (dry).
How to bleed the brake system?
Connect a transparent hose to the bleed screw, dip the other end in a container. Operate the lever/pedal, loosen the bleed screw, let fluid flow, tighten. Repeat until air bubbles are eliminated. Use DOT 4 fluid.
What are the main suspension adjustments available?
Front: oil level (air damping), spring preload (washers), compression and rebound forces. Rear: spring length (preload), compression (low and high speed) and rebound forces. Adjust according to rider weight and track conditions.

Mixing oil: Mixing ratio: Yamalube "2-R" 15:1

  1. Perform the pre-operation checks on the machine.
  2. Start and warm up the engine. Check the idle speed, and check the operation of the controls and the "ENGINE STOP" button.
  3. Operate the machine in the lower gears at moderate throttle openings for five to eight minutes. Stop and check the spark plug condition; it will show a rich condition during break-in.
  4. Allow the engine to cool. Restart the engine and operate the machine as in the step above for five minutes. Then, very briefly shift to the higher gears and check full-throttle response. Stop and check the spark plug.
  5. After again allowing the engine to cool, restart and run the machine for five more minutes. Full throttle and the higher gears may be used, but sustained full-throttle operation should be avoided. Check the spark plug condition.
  6. Allow the engine to cool, remove the top end, and inspect the piston and cylinder. Remove any high spots on the piston with #600 grit wet sandpaper. Clean all components and carefully reassemble the top end.
  7. Drain the break-in oil-fuel mixture from the fuel tank and refill with the specified mix.
  8. Restart the engine and check the operation of the machine throughout its entire operating range. Stop and check the spark plug condition. Restart the machine and operate it for about 10 to 15 more minutes. The machine will now be ready to race.

PROCEDURE DE RODAGE

- After the break-in or before each race, you must check the entire machine for loose fittings and fasteners as per "TORQUE-CHECK POINTS".

Tighten all such fasteners as required.

- When any of the following parts have been replaced, they must be broken in.

CYLINDER AND CRANKSHAFT:

About one hour of break-in operation is necessary.

PISTON, RING AND GEARS:

These parts require about 30 minutes of break-in operation at half-throttle or less.

Observe the condition of the engine carefully during operation.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

EC1B1000

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning of your machine will enhance its appearance, maintain good overall performance, and extend the life of many components.

  1. Before washing the machine, block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water from entering. A plastic bag secured with a rubber band may be used for this purpose.
  2. If the engine is excessively greasy, apply some degreaser to it with a paint brush. Do not apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets, or wheel axles.
  3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose; use only enough pressure to do the job.

CAUTION:

Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and contamination of wheel bearings, front forks, brakes and transmission seals. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.

  1. After the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent. Use an old toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
  2. Rinse the machine off immediately with clean water, and dry all surfaces with a soft towel or cloth.
  3. Immediately after washing, remove excess water from the chain with a paper towel and lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
  4. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
  5. Automotive wax may be applied to all painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner-waxes, as they may contain abrasives.
  6. After completing the above, start the engine and allow it to idle for several minutes.

NETTOYAGE ET

RANGEMENT

NETTOYAGE

If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or more, some preventive measures must be taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as follows:

  1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the carburetor float bowl.
  2. Remove the spark plug, pour a tablespoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug. With the engine stop switch pushed in, kick the engine over several times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
  3. Remove the drive chain, clean it thoroughly with solvent, and lubricate it. Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic bag tied to the frame.
  4. Lubricate all control cables.
  5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off the ground.
  6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
  7. If the machine is to be stored in a humid or salt-air environment, coat all exposed metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat cover.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before the machine is stored.

COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION

WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap ①,⑪ drain bolt and hoses when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury.

When the engine has cooled, place a thick towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it.

CAUTION:

Hard water or salt water is harmful to the engine parts. You may use distilled water, if you can't get soft water.

The line in the GT is clearly a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder for text. Therefore, the OCR should not have output any underscores.

Etendue de dépose:

This shock absorber is provided with a separate type tank filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas. To prevent the danger of explosion, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber.

The manufacturer can not be held responsible for property damage or personal injury that may result from improper handling.

  1. Never tamper or attempt to disassemble the cylinder or the tank.
  2. Never throw the shock absorber into an open flame or other high heat. The shock absorber may explode as a result of nitrogen gas expansion and/or damage to the hose.
  3. Be careful not to damage any part of the gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair the damping performance or cause a malfunction.
  4. Take care not to scratch the contact surface of the piston rod with the cylinder; or oil could leak out.
  5. Never attempt to remove the plug at the bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very dangerous to remove the plug.
  6. When scrapping the shock absorber, follow the instructions on disposal.

CDI UNIT INSPECTION

Check all electrical components. If no fault is found, replace the CDI unit. Then check the electrical components again.

3. Examiner:

- The role of fuel is to cool the engine, and in the case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate the engine in addition to power generation. Accordingly, if a mixture of air and fuel is too lean, abnormal combustion will occur, and engine seizure may result. If the mixture is too rich, spark plugs will get wet with oil, thus making it impossible to bring the engine into full play or if the worst comes to the worst, the engine may stall.

- The richness of the air-fuel mixture required for the engine will vary with atmospheric conditions of the day and therefore, the settings of the carburetor must be properly suited to the atmospheric conditions (air pressure, humidity and temperature).

- Finally, the rider himself must make a test-run and check his machine for conditions (pick-up of engine speed, road surface conditions) and for the discoloration of the spark plug(s). After taking these into consideration, he must select the best possible carburetor settings.

※ It is advisable to make a note of settings, atmospheric conditions, road surface condition, lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum can be used as a reference useful for future.

EC712000

Atmospheric conditions and carburetor setting

Air temp.Humidity pressure (altitude)AirPressure Setting
High HighLow (high)RicherLeaner
Low LowHigh (low)LeanerRicher

The reason for the above tendency is that the richness or leanness of a fuel mixture depends on the density of the air (i.e. the concentration of oxygen in it).

MISE AU POINT MOTEUR

  • Higher temperature expands the air with its resultant reduced density.
  • Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxygen in the air by so much of the water vapor in the same air.
  • Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high altitude) reduces the density of the air.

Jet needle groove position adjustment

Should the engine be hard to run smoothly at intermediate speeds, the jet needle ①must be adjusted. If the mixture is too rich or too lean at intermediate speed operation, irregular engine operation and poor acceleration will result. Whether or not the richness of the mixture is proper is hard to be determined by means of the spark plug and therefore, it should be judged from your feeling of actual engine operation.

Standard clip positionNo.3 groove*No.4 groove

*For EUROPE

  1. Too rich at intermediate speeds

Rough engine operation is felt and the engine will not pick up speed smoothly. In this case, step up the jet needle clip by one groove or 0.5 groove and move down the needle to lean out the mixture.

  1. Too lean at intermediate speeds

The engine breathes hard and will not pick up speed quickly. In this case, step down the jet needle clip by one groove or 0.5 groove and move up the needle to enrich the mixture.

Relationship with throttle opening

The flow of the fuel through the carburetor main system is controlled by the main jet and then, it is further regulated by the area between the main nozzle and the jet needle. On the relationship between the fuel flow and the throttle opening, the fuel flow relates to the straight portion of the jet needle at full closed\~1/8 throttle, to the 1st tapered portion at 1/4 throttle, to the second tapered portion at 1/2 throttle, to the third tapered portion at 3/4 throttle and to the fourth tapered portion at full open.

Therefore, the fuel flow is balanced at each stage of throttle opening by a combination of the jet needle diameter and clip position.

※ This should be taken simply for an example. It is necessary to set the carburetor while checking the operating conditions of the engine and discoloration of spark plugs.

Normally, carburetor setting is made by means of the main jet, jet needle clip position (including one with 0.5 difference), pilot jet and pilot air screw. If the result of setting is still unsatisfactory, it is advisable to change the diameter of the straight portion the jet needle.

EC71M010

Change of the heat range of spark plugs

Judging from the discoloration of spark plugs, if they are found improper, it can be corrected by the following two methods; changing carburetor settings and changing the heat range of spark plug.

Standard spark plugBR9EG/NGK(resistance type)
  • In principle, it is advisable to first use spark plugs of standard heat range, and judging from the discoloration of spark plugs, adjust carburetor settings.
  • If the calibration No. of the main jet must be changed by ± 30 , it is advisable to change the heat range of spark plugs and newly select the proper main jet.

NOTE:

  • When checking the discoloration of spark plugs, be sure to stop the engine immediately after a run and check.
  • Avoid racing.
  • When changing the heat range of spark plugs, never attempt to change it more than ± 1 rank.
  • When using a spark plug other than standard, check its heat range against the standard and check that it is a resistance type.
  • Note that even if the discoloration seems proper, it may slightly vary with the spark plug maker and oil in use.

If you feel the engine pick up faster depending on the course condition, you can control it by changing the rotor to the one with a greater inertial mass.

Part name Part number*Inertial mass
1 Standard rotor5CU-85550-11 0.0004kg·m ^2
2 Optional rotor5UN-85550-00 0.00045kg·m ^2

* Inertial mass: The inertial mass of the body is proportional to its weight and increases in proportion to the square of the distance between its rotation center and center of gravity. For the same weight, a greater distance from its rotation center produces greater inertial mass.

Greater initial mass gives a feeling of greater torque in response to engine revolutions but is accompanied by greater pick up resistance.

Engine characteristics are shown below in relation to each rotor:

- Standard rotor

Engine pickup is faster in the entire engine speed range.

Pickup is fast at an extremely low engine speed.

- Optional rotor

A feeling of torque is obtained at high engine speed.

A broader power band is felt from mid speed to over revs.

NOTE:

- Engine pick up differs according to the course condition, rider, the settings, etc. Select a suitable rotor by comparing it with the standard one in operation.

- It is difficult to be advantageous under all course conditions with a change in the rotor. Measure the lap times in accordance with race points and select a rotor to produce a good entire balance.

Sélection du rotor

Selection of the secondary reduction ratio (Sprocket)

Secondary reduction ratio = of driven sprocket teethNumber of drive sprocket teeth

Standard secondary reduction ratio49/13 (3.769)

- It is generally said that the secondary gear ratio should be reduced for a longer straight portion of a speed course and should be increased for a course with many corners. Actually, however, as the speed depends on the ground condition of the day of the race, be sure to run through the circuit to set the machine suitable for the entire course.

- In actuality, it is very difficult to achieve settings suitable for the entire course and some settings may be sacrificed. Thus, the settings should be matched to the portion of the course that has the greatest effect on the race result. In such a case, run through the entire course while making notes of lap times to find the best balance; then, determine the secondary reduction ratio.

- If a course has a long straight portion where a machine can run at maximum speed, the machine is generally set such that it can develop its maximum revolutions toward the end of the straight line, with care taken to avoid the engine over-revving.

NOTE:

Riding technique varies from rider to rider and the performance of a machine also vary from machine to machine. Therefore, do not imitate other rider's settings from the beginning but choose your own setting according to the level of your riding technique.

Tire pressure

Tire pressure should be adjust to suit the road surface condition of the circuit.

YAMAHA YZ125LC - Tire pressure - 1

Standard tire pressure: 100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm ^2 , 15 psi)

- Under a rainy, muddy, sandy, or slippery condition, the tire pressure should be lower for a larger area of contact with the road surface.

YAMAHA YZ125LC - Tire pressure - 2

Extent of adjustment: 60\~80 kPa (0.6\~0.8 kgf/cm², 9.0\~12 psi)

- Under a stony or hard road condition, the tire pressure should be higher to prevent a flat tire.

YAMAHA YZ125LC - Tire pressure - 3

Extent of adjustment: 100\~120 kPa (1.0\~1.2 kgf/cm², 15\~18 psi)

The front fork setting should be made depending on the rider's feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions.

The front fork setting includes the following three factors:

  1. Setting of air spring characteristics

- Change the fork oil level.

  1. Setting of spring preload

- Change the spring.

•Install the adjustment washer.

  1. Setting of damping force

- Change the compression damping.

- Change the rebound damping.

The spring acts on the load and the damping force acts on the cushion travel speed.

Change in level and characteristics of fork oil Damping characteristic near the final stroke can be changed by changing the fork oil amount.

CAUTION:

Adjust the oil level in 5 mm (0.2 in) increments or decrements. Too low oil level causes the front fork to produce a noise at full rebound or the rider to feel some pressure on his hands or body. Alternatively, too high oil level will develop unexpectedly early oil lock with the consequent shorter front fork travel and deteriorated performance an characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within the specified range.

Setting of spring after replacement

As the front fork setting can be easily affected by rear suspension, take care so that the machine front and rear are balanced (in position, etc.) when setting the front fork.

  1. Use of soft spring

Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become stronger and the front fork may sink deeply over a series of gaps.

To set a soft spring:

  • Change the rebound damping. Turn out one or two clicks.
  • Change the compression damping. Turn in one or two clicks.

2. Use of stiff spring

Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar.

To set a stiff spring:

- Change the rebound damping.

Turn in one or two clicks.

- Change the compression damping.

Turn out one or two clicks.

  1. Setting of spring preload

  2. Change the set length of the spring.

  3. Change the spring.

  4. Setting of damping force

  5. Change the rebound damping.

  6. Change the compression damping.

Choosing set length

  1. Place a stand or block under the engine to put the rear wheel above the floor, and measure the length @between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
  2. Remove the stand or block from the engine and with a rider astride the seat, measure the sunken length ⑥between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
  3. Loosen the locknut ① and make adjustment by turning the spring adjuster ② to achieve the standard figure from the subtraction of the length ⑥ from the length ④.

YAMAHA YZ125LC - Choosing set length - 1

Standard figure: 90\~100 mm (3.5\~3.9 in)

  • If the machine is new and after it is broken in, the same set length of the spring may change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-evaluation.
  • If the standard figure cannot be achieved by adjusting the spring adjuster and changing the spring set length, replace the spring with an optional one and make re-adjustment.

EC72G020

Setting of spring after replacement

After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring to the set length [sunken length 90\~100 mm (3.5\~3.9 in)] and set it.

  1. Use of soft spring

- Set the soft spring for less rebound damping to compensate for its less spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the softer side and readjust it to suit your preference.

  1. Use of stiff spring

- Set the soft spring for more rebound damping to compensate for its greater spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the stiffer side and readjust it to suit your preference.

Adjusting the rebound damping will be followed more or less by a change in the compression damping. For correction, turn the low compression damping adjuster on the softer side.
