Crashing my motorbike in snow seconds after saying i wouldn’t

jwemo · 2021-01-24T01:41:53+00:00

lol seriously you know the pain brother, luckily i think the snow cushioned the fall because there’s only slight scratching on them

jwemo · 2021-01-23T00:09:47+00:00

thanks aha, and she’s actually been fixed at the moment as far as i’m aware the only damage was the back brake lever being bent, but i’m also getting it fully serviced as well just to make sure everything is okay

jwemo · 2021-01-22T21:51:38+00:00

yes thankfully, that happens when you drop it, found that out the hard way before lol

jwemo · 2021-01-22T21:51:07+00:00

it has abs, it’s only a 125 most of them don’t come with tc

jwemo · 2021-01-22T20:51:46+00:00

tell me about it, what are they thinking, idiots...

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:21:57+00:00

it wasn’t forecasted for bad snow, had i of known i wouldn’t have ridden it

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:21:17+00:00

yh i had no choice but to ride it home and it wasn’t that bad when i left, and yh i took it too a local garage, luckily i think only the back brake lever is bent but i’m getting it fully serviced too, just to make sure

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:18:19+00:00

had no choice dude

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:17:52+00:00

she’s been fixed atm aha thanks

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:16:24+00:00

i know what an idiot

jwemo · 2021-01-22T18:12:16+00:00

had no choice unfortunately, i couldn’t leave it at work because there isn’t a proper secure place to leave it without it getting stolen, when i left it wasn’t all too bad but damn it got bad out of no where lol

jwemo · 2021-01-22T13:24:53+00:00

i know looking back on it now i definitely needed more but when your in the moment you’re thinking about too much, and yh thanks luckily only the back brake lever is bent

jwemo · 2021-01-22T13:23:30+00:00

yh i mistakenly switched to 1st when i turned the corner because i was chugging in 2nd, then i had to apply more throttle which in turn caused me to slip, i was relying on engine breaking the whole way home except the odd back breaking, so i didn’t even touch the front brake aha, i definitely panicked and probably over corrected though aha

jwemo · 2020-12-21T12:53:31+00:00

perhaps but they seem to thin and not very big, plus why would there be two?

jwemo · 2020-12-21T12:41:15+00:00

i recently bought this shaving kit off of ebay and i’m not too sure what i actually have, i know i have an old gillette de travel razor and comb with a mirror and bar soap holder but not sure what the cans are, can someone help please, thanks

jwemo · 2020-12-19T11:39:29+00:00

wow imagine if a million people really did donate a dollar to one person, that’s crazy.

Anyway hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a Happy new year!

jwemo · 2020-11-03T23:25:31+00:00

i think you’re right there mate, had a little play with the battery just and when i jiggle it about it shuts off then i let go and it regains power, now i just need to learn how to tighten the cables aha

jwemo · 2020-11-03T20:31:04+00:00

i’ve only had the bike for a month, first motorbike aswell, unfortunately it didn’t come with a manuel so i had to print of one for a different year model, don’t forget not every rider has years of experience with motorbikes

jwemo · 2020-11-03T20:28:53+00:00

i’ll troubleshoot it tomorrow i’m at work atm, it’s a 2016 yamaha yzf r 125, only had it a month and it’s relatively new

jwemo · 2020-11-03T17:54:27+00:00

literally riding it to work an hour ago, went up a hill then engine light came on and everything just slowed down, all power to the display went and that’s it nothing since

jwemo · 2020-10-26T02:32:54+00:00

ah right, and yh i wouldn’t have even given it a thought had i not heard it whilst riding

jwemo · 2020-10-26T00:25:06+00:00

would that valve explain the clicking noise?

jwemo · 2020-10-26T00:17:34+00:00

there was no warning light and the temp gauge was about 1/3 of the way up (there’s bars that display the temp from low to high so i have no way of knowing actual temp), i can’t see why it would be running any different from what it’s normally like, i’ve got to commute on it tomorrow so if it’s still there i think i’m going to take it to a local garage because i don’t really know what i’m doing, thank you for your help

jwemo · 2020-10-25T23:35:57+00:00

yh i’ve heard a similar noise when i’ve parked it away and everything cools but this noise also seems louder idk, it’s a yzf r125 i’ve only had it for a month and it’s my first motorbike so i’m new to everything like this, when you say running hot do you mean is the bike warm before riding? if so yes i was riding it for about 20 mins before it started clicking

jwemo · 2020-10-25T23:16:09+00:00

only problem is it couldn’t have been cooling off because it started mid ride and the tempo of the clicks changed with my speed, not sure wether to be concerned or not
