Yamaha YBR 125
My father and I are gradually restoring a Yamaha YBR 125. This personal workshop project is ongoing: disassembly, carburettor cleaning, rust treatment and painting parts. The photos show work in progress, not a completed restoration.
The Yamaha during restorationLearning by repairing a real machine, step by step.
Every disassembled part raises practical questions: what condition is it in, and should we clean, protect or replace it? We work together and try to understand before putting things back.
Inspect
Look at the motorcycle before modifications and identify what needs work.
Clean
Disassemble and clean the carburettor and accessible parts.
Protect
Prepare selected surfaces and apply rust protection and finish paint.
Reassemble
Continue the restoration and check the result along the way.
This is also time spent learning with my father: we discuss the diagnosis, handle parts and adjust our approach together.
The restoration is still ongoing. I would rather show documented stages than claim an outcome we have not reached yet.
