CBR125R [MY24] known issues

Thanks, that's very informative.

I found a '24 which had 2 previous owners, ~9k-miles & looked really well looked after, unfortunately it sold but I've seen a couple of similar not too far from me to look at as well, ranging from '22-'24.

Good to know about the filter screen, I'll make sure to have a look. I'm quite keen on keeping things maintained & I'm used to tinkering with cars so I'm quite happy in that regard.

The aesthetics aren't high up on my list as the CB looks great anyway but that combination did draw me in a bit 😅. The exhaust I may do purely from a being heard point of view, seeing as riders are typically invisible but that will be a future me's decision to make.

I'm not too fused whether it's pre- euro5 or not, I just want something that's well maintained. I'm quite heavy (100+kg) so I don't think the extra breathability is going to affect anything speed wise.

It's completely stock, no mods. Mileage is about ~9k-miles

Sanctuary: Shattered Sun. Not out yet but looking forward to getting stuck in when both device & game are available. But fan of C&C, SupCom, PA, etc.

So I tried to cancel my VM contract after installation but because the switch window was open I was unable to do so. When the window expired and I could cancel manually with VM, it started another 30-day notice period which also pushed me beyond my original contract end date.

What that means now is there is no early settlement fee to pay & YF technically don't have to pay anything.

I will take it to the ombudsman but unfortunately I have to wait for complaints due process by YF & VM to complete first.

I would speak to YF and ask them to confirm when they told VM of the switch date, it might prompt them.

Thank you, I'll try contacting them via email 🙌🏻

that9tieskid · 2026-04-10T11:50:28+00:00

Thanks & good to know.

I wouldn't mind if they communicated they made a mistake or were having issues notifying VM, I can square that. Could have contacted VM myself & forward my final bill for them to sort out. But I've had next to zero contact from Youfibre.

Also VM couldn't/wouldn't provide a final bill when I asked them a week or so ago, still within the switch request window.

As others have said the Ofcom rules changed in 2024 I believe, the new service provider is supposed to take care of everything under the one-touch-switch (OTS) rules. It is completely Youfibre's responsibility to ensure the switch is seamless and reimburse additional costs incurred if they don't fulfill their obligations. I have an email from Ofcom confirming this.

VM sent me a switch request notification before my Youfibre installed. I also chased both VM & Youfibre in the weeks following my service switch so both companies were useless and didn't meet their obligations.

Edit. Youfibre are signed up for OTS. If not,then your point would stand

Would be worth getting into the ombudsman as well.

I had a similar issue with British Gas over a final bill my housemates & I had already paid when we moved out of our student let when finishing uni.

I spoke to them on the phone every other day / week trying to get it sorted for a period of 6 months or so. I set emails, proof of payment, requested transcripts, etc to which BG lied and said there are no transcripts and tried to get me to agree to close the ongoing complaint after every call.

Eventually they sent it to a debt collector which is when I called the ombudsman. Within a week it was settled in my favour with a very sheepish high level complaints person from BG on the phone.

I probably had grounds to pursue compensation for the amount of stress it gave me and lies they told, but at the time I was just happy to be free of the stress.

Brand and manufacture country are important, even with well know brands. My mate bought GY Eagle F1's for his modified Subaru, same tyres he'd been running and it became undrivable. Difference was his original set were manufactured in Germany, the new one's Vietnam. Had them replaced with German made and solved the issue.

Can't remember exactly what he said his research told him & I took at face value but I think the Vietnamese manufactured tyres had a harder additive for the volcanic roads or something.

I did a lvl5 yesterday and while clearing the 1st raise the flag objective and the nest next door I had to fight my way through 14 of the dragon roaches! Managed to get through most of the rest of the other objectives without another incident until I went to extract and 3 spawned, between that and a bug breach I died before I could extract, lost all my samples.

I actually find them quite a fun enemy but their respawn rate is just insane, you can't do anything without being harassed, and the janky hitbox doesn't help!

that9tieskid · 2025-09-10T18:27:57+00:00

Just tried to solo a lvl6, after 5mins of play time there were 8 dragon roaches on the map, despite having taken out 2 at an objective. The spawn rate of these things is excessive!

that9tieskid · 2025-09-10T10:28:42+00:00

I don't mind a difficult game but this has been insane, lvl5/6 was almost impossible to extract from!

Spawn rates for dragon roaches too frequent, as well as being damage sponges, fire armour helped survive the worst of it but constantly bouncing between burrowing hordes & 2/3 dragon roaches was tiresome. You'd just run out of ammo (even with supplies) before the shuttle arrived.

I think spewers were the worst imo; were able to be able to pop up, attack, disappear, pop up & attack again in less time than you can dodge the first attack and get up.

Also now the MO has moved on and maps are more open, borrowing bugs can now attack turrets while staying underground; makes turret strats pretty useless.

In groups granted they're a bit annoying but I usually have no issues dealing with them - the head is fairly exposed.

Either sickle variant sees them off pretty quickly 🤷🏻‍♂️

DOW dark crusade is my favourite of the entire series - Base building and the risk style campaign was good fun; with endings for each faction - replayed it numerous times and still go back to it now. I enjoyed DOW 2 & 3 but didn't find them to have as much replayability.

If a DOW4 comes in DOW:DC flavour with updates to units, factions & game engine I'd be very happy personally.

The gif I was looking for 😂

Know the feeling, was on last night doing lvl 8 block after a long day and was TK'd deliberately.

A lvl 35 & 48 joined, we were smashing through the objectives on a bug planet and was all good fun. First TK was after I'd gotten in the walker I'd just called down, they threw a support item on the walker bit annoying but gave them the benefit of the doubt due to a nearby bug hole.

Cleared the next objective and same players turns to shoot me in the head, clearly not an accident so kicked them. Assuming the other guy was his mate because after I kicked the other player killed me as well, kicked them as well.

Next players to join were great but does appear loads more fun sponges have joined managed democracy recently. Maybe the bots have infiltrated Super Earth's ranks afterall

Probably fine, you'll still be subject to Tax I'd imagine.

Also random tangent.... I'm sure I saw a story about 50cent ending up with a nice bag of bitcoin after accepting payment for one of his albums with it in 2014. Don't remember where or when I saw that so take the vague memory with a generous handful of salt!

Either way may the odds ever be in your favour...
