YES Chef  If you don't or can't be arsed to get the pump fixed or replaced, then if you do leave the bike for a long periods of time, you can just pull the feed pipe off the pump and plug it until you want to use the bike next Don't forget to re-fit and bleed the pump before you run it again. Srick a reminder post-it note on the speedo so you don't forget  |

It's a pretty common thing on 2-strokes, it's just the 2-stroke oil pump letting the oil past when the bike is standing. I think Arrow on here will restore RD125LC pumps ??, maybe drop him a PM and ask. My 125LC does it, so does my AR50 and so does my YB100.....lol They all do it to varying degrees, but as I use them regularly, they just smoke a bit more for the first minute or so. When I bought my AR50 it had been standing for 3 years as was exactly the same as your 125, filled right upto the ports with 2-stroke oil  . I took the head and barrel off, syringed all the oil out, stuck the top end back on and it's been fine ever since  |

Over the years I've owned three bikes with engine number 'not known' .. Japanese-market bikes under 250cc have blank cases, so it isn't uncommon at all. Welcome to the forum Yep that's absolutely right, though they quite often have the model prefix only |

Chuck a sender in it out of another 125LC that's running ok, if it's still the same, then run a wire from the sender of the bike that's got the problem to the clocks of another 125LC that you know the temp guage is working ok ?.
Will at least eliminate the sender the the temp guage reading wrong ?.

If it ain't the Radiator or Cap, then it's looking very much like a head gasket leak  . Could be a warped head or crap surfaces if it's already had a new Head Gasket ? |

And didn't we have a brilliant night too. What a weekend. Trace. If you fall out of love with your R1z I'll swap you a Wolf Yeah that was a brilliant weekend, certainly one for the bank of great memories And Tony, I told Tracey what you said about the swap for the Wolf and she said she "resembles that remark".......lmao |

I always use pattern base gaskets (just make sure they're not overlapping) and never had a problem. And Threebond comes off very easily with brake cleaner |

Lol sorry, I think you've missunderstood me..... I didn't put that cr*p in my tank, my tank doesn't need lining and I do know how it should be done correctly I was just asking if anyone though Por15 would fail just the same if it were applied how this cr*p was..... |

Post by looey on Sept 23, 2014 19:54:50 GMT 1
I don't.....I was just wondering if Por15 would work if applied the same as this was ? (I didn't put this cr*p in !....lol).
Could be useful if you've just got a lower seam to seal ?. But I guess you'd just seal the entire tank anyway.

You will be able to get a couple more litres of fuel in with all that crap removed. I certainly will John but the engine's out now, so it won't be going anywhere for a while  |

In its defence, it hasn't dissolved or gone soft, just not stuck at all.
Doesn't look like the tank was treated prior to it being put in, but it never stood a chance just an inch at the bottom.
Just a question to those who have experience with Por15......If you put just an inch of Por15 at the bottom would that come off the same ?.
My understanding is that you need to make a complete tank inside with these liners ??. If the petrol can get to anywhere where it joins the metal it will get underneath in the end and it will peel off ?. Or is that not the case ?.

This was all just floating around down at the bottom. Wasn't stuck in there at all, I just plucked it all out . The tank looks a pretty nice silver down at the bottom, well now you can see down there......lol |

Hi mate,
Go into the top of the "80LC & 125LC Chat" section, then up the top right of the page, do a couple of searches, say one for Micron, then one for Allspeed and you will find the topic has been discussed many many times before.
They both work well but give different power deliveries and rev ceilings.

There's 5 or 6 of us that plan on coming if the weather is ok . So is the plan for everyone to get to the terminal early enough to catch the 9:00am ferry ?. Oh and on the return, what time ferry are you expecting to get back ?. |

There's loads of things that can make em run at different temps. Like you say, how free flowing the radiator is and also the entire cooling system. I've also seen quite a few where so much gasket gloop has been used on the head gasket, that it virtually blocks all the water jackets  Also worth checking the condition of the water pump impeller if you've not checked it recently |

Mine runs around 1/4 mark all the time it's moving. Has it got a standard black plastic radiator guard ?. They do run warmer with the Renntec rad guards, as the air can't get through all the small holes as well  . |

I'll be there with a few others. I'll be on either my Fizzy or AR50 but not for the Brighton Burnup.
We're doing a ped run via the Great Train Robbery bridge and a few other places.

Premix?

Post by looey on Sept 8, 2014 18:24:58 GMT 1
So it was, I found it rdlccrazy.proboards.com/thread/20427/oil-pump-graphSo basically, if you're running premix and at full throttle, if you're running 30:1, you'll only have 2/3rds of the oil going in that Mr Yamaha intended and at 40:1 only 1/2 Not a problem if you ride around like Miss Daisey though |

One fellow who has Some respect. Always sprays his head gaskets, both brand new and recycled, with Rattle can Laquer. Claiming this is a Very good sealant. His success record suggests that there may be truth in his technique Can see how that could work. Is there any more detailed info. on using that process ?. Would be a lot easier to dust both sides with a spray than applying a very thin coat of sealant |

Didn't someone on here post a ratio chart some time ago for the oil pumps as designed by Mr Yamaha ?.
There was a massive difference between the ratios at idle and maximum revs on wide open throttle. It was something rediculous like 75:1 at idle and 16:1 at max revs with full throttle.
If your racing and hence full throttle most of the time then premix is perfect, but on the road, the majority of the time you will either have too much or too little oil going in !.

Won't matter, as long as it's jetted correctly and not restricted in any way it should fly. I have 12A, 10W and 11Y carbs and mine goes just as well with any of them fitted |
