powler Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi, I was given this today as a friend was clearing out his unit. It is a Yamaha Breeze 125cc I got the numbers off it and found a pdf format workshop manual. I did start to strip the plastics but rain stopped play as I have no shed room to put it in. Not sure how much it will be tarted up as it will be a farm bike in the end but looking at its condition it will take time to get it running, poor thing has had a hard life. Need to sort a fuel tank and seat as these are missing which is a pain as money it tight. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it on blocks yesterday and in gear I could turn the engine, so thats not seized. Got a fuel tank ordered for £20 from the bay, also spark plug and cap. Just going to buy inlet boot/manifold as its more perished than a perished thing. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 will you be spraying the frame ?.....or will you just get it mechancially up to snuff and using it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'll get it running first as its pretty then decide as its basic to take out the engine and strip down to spray, the frame is bent at the front so will need sorting. Once I get a spark plug and the new inlet manifold on it I'll give it a good clean, change the oil and clean the mesh oil filter, fit the fuel tank and connect to my car battery to see if it turns over on the electrics ok. Not sure if its worth stripping the engine at the moment as its been in a dry shed since being parked up and the pug hole covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll most likely be once lockdown is lifted before I do much more that think about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just went to check the timing yesterday before trying to turn over, seems someone has taken the sprocket off the camshaft and I would say they have just dropped the chain into the engine, so I either take out the engine and strip it or scrap it. I'm leaning towards scraping it as who know what else could be wrong with the engine. I don't want to spend to much on it already bought a starter relay, fuel tank and battery.

No I haven't Mel, but the cost of that would be to much I think. think I may aswell pull the engine out and strip it down and go from there.
