2022 YZ125. With only 20 hours it started having shifting issues. Lets see whats wrong! Donate Race Fuel link... www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... Thanks for watching! upallnight91@hotmail.com
great video! My son bent his shift shaft and i was able to use this video as a reference to replace the shaft. everyone at the track told me i would have to split the case, which is something i have no problem doing, but i rather wait till after the season for something like that. the longest part of me replacing the shaft, is waiting for it to come in the mail.
Im having somewhat of the same issue with my yz 125 I’m thinking it’s my shift shaft but I’m not 100 percent sure. Was your sons gear shifter really loose almost like it was stripped out ?
Great content man! Soon as you starting describing the issue I new it was that detent. On the 2006 wr450 they used a bearing on the detent instead of a steel wheel and when the bearing goers the same thing happens- it will pop in and out of 2nd usually under a load and extremely hard to find neutral. My fix was to get rid of that bearing detent and go with one out of a YZ 450 with the YZ spring. Good news man- I got my bike back together using your case splitting trick- fired it up today after a full rebuild!
Nice!!! Always a good feeling to hear that first start up!. Yeah I didnt guess that one right but now I know how they act when the detent is not working right. I think the 2014 yz450 had the same issue with the bearings coming apart on that and they went to a solid roller in 2015?
@@UpAllNight91 that first start is definitely a little nerve racking, especially after a rebuild. After a couple heat cycles I relax lol. Thanks for the vid brother.
Nice! Did you bend it like I did in the video? So far that one has held up well. I did hear yamaha is sending recall letters out on this. Nice to hear the video helped though
Yamaha Issued a Recall a month after you posted this video. Bulletin # M2022-008R They have a updated spring design that fixes the issue. All applicable gaskets and seals are replaced during the repair. If anyone with a 22' YZ125 has this shifting issue please contact your local Yamaha dealer and have them get your recall parts ordered and a appointment made for the repair.
At 300 hours I would at least replace the detent spring. They do ge old after a while. Or even do the shifting detent spring mod I covered in the yz250 full rebuild video. It surely helps with better quicker shifts
I got a 2022 YZ 125 too but Yamaha sent me a letter about that issue.. they are stating that the spring is in fault and you can sent the bike to a nearby Yamaha dealer to cover that issue free of charge
Oh man, wonder if the ower has gotten a letter. Will ask um to check his mail lol. I assumed they would get to a updated part quickly. Yamaha is usually good at that
Just subscribed! Great video. I have a 2020 yz125 and heard rattling while in neutral coming from the gearbox/primary gear area. Turns out the oil check bolt only holds 275 ml of oil and the reccomended amount is 660 ml. Any idea what was rattling in my Trans from low oil? Also carefule using check bolts for oil amounts on your yz 125 work Cheers
Hello. Thanks! I too have found the oil check bolt is very low on the YZ125. I just pour in the proper amount of 660ml. The rattling was probably transmission gears. They can even squeal if the level is low. If everything sounds good and works good once the oil level is up at 660ml I would run her and just keep an eye on her for a little bit.
Hi awesome video, hope you can help I have recently rebuilt a 88kx80 on the bench it had all gears (casing off) now back together in the bike I only have 1st neural & 2nd but when selecting those gears the selector is stiff up and down once in gear the selector dose not spring back up? Could you shed some light on my issue? Thanks
Hmm. I would start by removing the clutch cover and clutch and see why the level is not springing back at least. I would start there, hopefully the problem is just under the cover
So I think mine is having this problem. Sometimes it’s fine other times it’s not. New shift shaft and lever, clutch all in spec nothing missing, new cable too. Today I was looking at it after this video and noticed it has a lot of up and down play before it actually shifts. Sometimes it works sometimes it don’t. Even with my hand off the bike. So thinking it’s a loose spring they are probably all from 2002 so definitely old. But would it be this one your messing with or the spring on the shift shaft? Or both? Or is there just really that much play. Talking .5 “ maybe 1” yz 125
What you are describing surely sounds like your shift detent spring either broke or became unlatched. I would surely remove the clutch cover and inspect all of that. I wouldnt even ride the bike again before checking it because it can cause transmission damage after a while. Its easy to remove the cover and take a look,
I had this same issue. Tweaked the spring, put it back together and shifted fine for a while. Now it is messing up again. Shifting is supper notchy and doesn’t like to shift that great. Or stay in neutral. I’m about to sell the POS. It is screwing me up in races
hope you put that washer back on the shift shaft. cant tell ifs its on it or not but doesnt look like it :D my new yz125s arriving soon. thx 4 the insight into this problem
I sure hope the washer is in there lol. Im pretty sure it is. I have a habit of sliding it on the shaft and later after all was back in I didnt see a washer on the towel so she should be ok lol.
The worst part about the bike is the paint on the pipe!! I have over 200 hours on my yz 125 pipe (and whatever more the previous owner put on it) and it has just barely started to wear thru the paint in a 1inx1in part.
could this be the same reason my shfiting is funk on my yamaha r6? forgot the kickstand down and wacked it on the ground low speed. but the foot lever got stuck on the kickstand spring. so maybe?
Hello. It surely can be the plug. I would change that first and see. If that doesnt fix it then I would do a fuel pressure check. If that's good then I would check the throttle position sensor. If that's good then I would suspect a fuel injector
Also, everyone is saying that this issue is very dumb, and I agree. But brands are struggling with QC at the moment. Look at KTM, they are recalling the CDI's because the weaker crankshafts and snapping and grenading.
Its been good ever since. And just last week he got a letter for a recall on that spring. Claiming it comes unlatched and they will replace it with a different designed spring for free. It's been working good so hes not even sure if he will take it in for the recall or not
If you hit false neutral in 4ths once in a blue moon it could just be from lazy shifting but if its happening all the time then its most likely worn dogs and cogs on that gear set. You would need to replace that gear set and fork, as well as inspect the shift drum for wear. I have a 2022 YZ125 transmission repair video up if you are interested check my videos. Part 1 is up now, part 2 will be up next week. It will help you with this repair.
What would you attribute not being able to shift into 5th gear. Every other gear seems to shift just fine but will not get into 5th. It's a 15 yz250. I know the video is a year old but figured I'd ask. Thank you for you work and the time you take to educate and help!
Yes. Should have a 5th and a 6th. You might have to dig into the bottom end to see whats wrong. I would start by removing the clutch cover and checking the shift mechanism, if alls well then split the cases and check the transmission
I haven’t read through all the comments yet but didn’t you forget a washer on that shifting rod on the left side down there that one that you had a hard time pulling out?
You are not the first who asked this lol. I have a habit of putting the washer on the shift shaft as soon as I pull the washer off and I did that but just didn't cover it in the video. Plus all part where resting on a clean rag so I would have seen a washer on the rag after completing the job. So I'm pretty confident its in there. Good eye though !
@@UpAllNight91 hey it’s super cool that you answered. Thanks and I think your video was top notch . I had not subscribed yet but I will now. While I’m thinking about it I’ll ask you this for a ballpark opinion I have this 93 YZ 125 that I bought it didn’t run it was a compression issue I found out so I put a new top end in. And while I’m no stranger two motors I’m a complete stranger to motorcycle engines. To my surprise the thing worked and it runs awesome but when I started to ride it I could only get to third gear and it would not shift any further. Shops in California are either outrageously priced or they seem to not be interested in doing the work if it is going to be involved like a transmission is. I mean I get it (deep motor work be it a motorcycle or an automotive anything from head gaskets to rod bearings cranks is a pain in the ass) from what I understand splitting cases sucksTwo shops told me I was screwed without looking into it just by trying to ride it- they claimed to try riding it . But both shops actually said they couldn’t get it to go into gear at all which just told me that they are lame. So moving on After running this thing up and down my street a couple times I was able to get it in the fourth and the fifth gear but not easily however it seems the higher the RPM the easier it did shift (meaning that if I had low RPMs I couldn’t get it from 3rd to 4th and definitely not 4th to 5th) that’s where I’m at now I have not reached sixth yet. Does that sound familiar at all ?have you heard of this problem?
@@RubberDJ unfortunately a 1993 is not easy to find shops willing to dig deep for cheap. Parts are hard to find for a 1993 anymore and there is always a good chance rhe job could drag on with part searches and such. Some shops anymore won't work on a MX bike older than 10 years. But older bikes are rare and are cool. I would find someone who is good at working on them or give it a go for your and learn while in there. Thats how I learned
I was wondering if you have ever used a Full synthetic ATF I have for over 20 years In my two-stroke bikes and not One single clutch problem or anything else and great video !!
Thanks! I have used it before. It works. It surely does help older or weaker clutch bite better. You can get good results with lots of different fluids in these gear boxes. I kinda just stick with shell rotella cause it's my shop supply and gets run in just about everything lol
Hmm. I would follow the same and first remove the clutch cover and clutch and inspect the shift mechanism under there. If alls good then you may need to split the cases and dig deeper, but hopefully not
Comment is 4 months old, but just in case you never did anything about it, the '05 was a new engine (first year aluminum frame) and it had a problematic shift stopper that used a ball bearing that would come apart. Same story for '06 models. I have an '05 and it still had the original shift stopper, and the bearing had already come apart before I bought it, and yes it was difficult to shift. They updated the shift stopper in '07 to no longer use a ball bearing. The rest of the engine was the same from '05-'21. It's only $18 shipped for the updated shift stopper, and you can't even buy the old style anymore. Part numbers: 1C3-18140-10-00 Shift stopper ($18 shipped) 1C3-15462-00-00 Right side crankcase cover gasket ($10 shipped) Very easy to change and only takes about an hour. I would flush it with fresh oil while I had the cover off, then tilt the bike over to dump out the fresh oil and any pieces that might still be in there. Mine still had ball bearing pieces in the oil when I disassembled everything, and I was lucky that none of the gears got damaged from any metal bits getting caught between teeth, but many people haven't been as lucky. Fingers crossed yours are a-ok.
Yeah I know. I was scratching my head I dont expect that from a new YZ. But anything happens and even Yamaha makes mistakes. Wouldn't be surprised to see a update at least by 2023 in that spring.
Hello. Yes sir! Putting together thebSpex XC dome review. Just gotta finished editing. And then also a 2021 YZ450 full motor rebuild coming in about a good week
I’ve got a 05 yz 250 complete rebuild new case and all bike ran great for a while and now first gear is getting jammed up I can’t see anything wrong got any pointers
The only thing I have found after taking the motor apart and split the case is a bent clutch cable adapter the part that threads into the clutch lever I’m wondering if that’s the problem I can back it out but can’t turn it in
@@nicholasshufelt8681 Ahh, so once you have it in 1st and its rolling, does 1st and all the gears work ok? its only when sitting at a dead stop and trying to get it into first gear it acts up? If thats the case that surely sounds like a clutch dragging issue, clutch cable not adjusted correctly, not pulling the clutch cable far enough in when the lever is pulled.
Yes. They did recall that part and undated it. The fix I did here in this video has worked well to this day but this bike is here now getting a transmission repair and I will go ahead and install the updated spring while I'm in there. Might as well.
Thats not the clutch. Thats the gear failing to hold. It will jump out under power and snap back in. It has worn dogs and cogs on the gears. You will need to split the cases to repair that. If it had been a clutch it would be in every gear and not only 5th. Its a failing 5th gear
@@armandofrias9707 you don't have to replace the whole transmission. What I do is I open the motor and only replace the parts that show wear or failure. This includes the gears, shift forks, and shift drum . Any c clip removed during the job should be replaced with a new one
I have the same issue with Yamaha xsr125 2022, unfortunately local dealer do not care about the warranty and trying to cash me for replacement, is there anybody with xsr125 with the same issue?
Hey bud. I am reassembling a yfz450 and having an issue with the clutch push bearing not touching pressure plate while clutch perch in rest position. I have all plates in , I’ve tried using the smaller friction plate with spring washers and also taking them out and using full plate instead. There is a gap between the push bearing and pressure plate. I replaced the push rod, ball bearing and throw out bearing. Anything I’m missing ??
Hello. Are you missing the hug ball bearing that goes in there. I did a video on this, here is a link and if you slide it to the 18 minute mark thats where I get into the clutch th-cam.com/video/U7B3JMOy8sk/w-d-xo.html
@@UpAllNight91 I have the ball bearing in there. I’m not sure but it may be an issue with the wiseco basket. The back side showed two illustrations, one uses the spring plate I call it that goes on first but the other one shows not using this. I don’t know but that may be why I have the gap issue. I need to see if that throw out bearing sits all the way back - bottoms out or if it’s suppose to stick out some. Mine bottoms out
My 2022 has 8 hours on it. Had this issue within the first 2 hours, dealer "fixed it", got it back, rode an hour or so and realized the case was cracked from the inside out from something coming lose and being forced into the case from the inside, they "fixed" that, THEN, I changed the oil and it was silver with lots of metal in the oil, changed again and rode and it still has silver and magnetic fillings all in the oil, dealer says that's normal (it's not or it would of done that before they worked on it also but it didn't) and now they refuse to work on it even though they did not repair it properly under the warranty. I'm just going to ride it until the transmission seized I guess lol
Dang man. That sucks. I mean some oil glitter is kinda normal while the transmission is breaking in but. I would at least run a drain plug magnet to catch it and keep track
@UpAllNight91 after changing the oil after 3 rides, each time I rode the oil looks much better, there are still fine metal but less so that might be good
Who tf are you to say 10 hours is to long, how much money do you have bro, a bottle of oil is 10 dollars. I’ve gone 200 hours on stock clutch still works new changed oil 4 or 5 times. No need to change 10 hours unless your James stewart and have that kind of money. Come on man don’t harp on the dude for not having it like that
Really just depends on the rider. On my wifes YZ125 I can run the oil for 10 hours in her bike no problem. But on my YZ125 by 3 hours the oil is nasty dirty and surely due. It just depends on how hard the rider rides the bike and how heavy the clutch is used.
That's crazy. Yamaha seriously needs to address that. Nice work brother!
Thanks. Yeah surely just 1mm longer on that spring tip and even that would have been enough.

There is really nothing the rider can do to make it pop out. It just does it on its own.

true
Hi, can it be coincidental that it pops out of place or does it only happend if a bolt or something loosen up?
It pops out because they didnt get it enough material to bite down good. The recalled spring fixes this.

Mine still had ball bearing pieces in the oil when I disassembled everything, and I was lucky that none of the gears got damaged from any metal bits getting caught between teeth, but many people haven't been as lucky. Fingers crossed yours are a-ok.
Where did the washer for the gear axle go? its not there when you put it together..
I had the wash already on the shift shaft.
@@UpAllNight91 Nice! i didnt notice that.
@@ericaxelson5632 yes. I kinda left that out of the video on accident. Good eye though!
2022…crazy it has shifting issues at 20 hrs
Yeah I know. I was scratching my head I dont expect that from a new YZ. But anything happens and even Yamaha makes mistakes. Wouldn't be surprised to see a update at least by 2023 in that spring.
Its a whole new engine and a reason to stay away from first yr bikes/engines. It will be ironed out in 2023.
Wondering if you could help do you know weather a 2010. Yz250f rear spring fits a 2005 yz125🤙🏻
Hello. The 2010 yz250f spring will fit and work on the 2005 yz125
@@UpAllNight91 thanks mate any new videos coming 🤙🏻
Hello. Yes sir! Putting together thebSpex XC dome review. Just gotta finished editing. And then also a 2021 YZ450 full motor rebuild coming in about a good week
I’ve got a 05 yz 250 complete rebuild new case and all bike ran great for a while and now first gear is getting jammed up I can’t see anything wrong got any pointers
Hello. What do you mean by jammed up? Does it get stuck in first gear or first gear does not work? Or?
It shifts into 1st but starts making noise like something grinding all the other gears work fine once and awhile it will get stuck in 1 st
The only thing I have found after taking the motor apart and split the case is a bent clutch cable adapter the part that threads into the clutch lever I’m wondering if that’s the problem I can back it out but can’t turn it in
@@nicholasshufelt8681 Ahh, so once you have it in 1st and its rolling, does 1st and all the gears work ok? its only when sitting at a dead stop and trying to get it into first gear it acts up? If thats the case that surely sounds like a clutch dragging issue, clutch cable not adjusted correctly, not pulling the clutch cable far enough in when the lever is pulled.
@@UpAllNight91 it’s only in first when I hear the noise all the other gears work fine is there a number I can send you a few pictures
That spring system needs a total rethink back at the factory. Will always be a weak link.
Yes. They did recall that part and undated it. The fix I did here in this video has worked well to this day but this bike is here now getting a transmission repair and I will go ahead and install the updated spring while I'm in there. Might as well.
My bike jerks in fifth gear. Is it a clutch failure or is it a transmission failure? only if you do it slowly it works fine
Thats not the clutch. Thats the gear failing to hold. It will jump out under power and snap back in. It has worn dogs and cogs on the gears. You will need to split the cases to repair that. If it had been a clutch it would be in every gear and not only 5th. Its a failing 5th gear
So only the fifth is replaced, not the entire transmission?
Thank you for your respond
@@armandofrias9707 you don't have to replace the whole transmission. What I do is I open the motor and only replace the parts that show wear or failure. This includes the gears, shift forks, and shift drum . Any c clip removed during the job should be replaced with a new one
Can you tell me the size of socket need for clutch basket nut
Cant remember off hand but when I get home later I will check and let you know for sure
@@UpAllNight91 thanks I appreciate it. Just want to have everything to tackle the job
@@DirtbikeDad its a 27mm. Same size used to loosen rear axle to adjust chain
@@UpAllNight91 thanks
I have the same issue with Yamaha xsr125 2022, unfortunately local dealer do not care about the warranty and trying to cash me for replacement, is there anybody with xsr125 with the same issue?
Dang bummer. I would call Yamaha USA, they will get that dealer in line
Hey bud. I am reassembling a yfz450 and having an issue with the clutch push bearing not touching pressure plate while clutch perch in rest position. I have all plates in , I’ve tried using the smaller friction plate with spring washers and also taking them out and using full plate instead. There is a gap between the push bearing and pressure plate. I replaced the push rod, ball bearing and throw out bearing. Anything I’m missing ??
Hello. Are you missing the hug ball bearing that goes in there. I did a video on this, here is a link and if you slide it to the 18 minute mark thats where I get into the clutch th-cam.com/video/U7B3JMOy8sk/w-d-xo.html
@@UpAllNight91 I have the ball bearing in there. I’m not sure but it may be an issue with the wiseco basket. The back side showed two illustrations, one uses the spring plate I call it that goes on first but the other one shows not using this. I don’t know but that may be why I have the gap issue. I need to see if that throw out bearing sits all the way back - bottoms out or if it’s suppose to stick out some. Mine bottoms out
@@daveydave9884 oh, yeah sometimes aftermarket parts can be tricky
put washer on back side too..to push spring closer to arm
Yeah that might have worked too. Another commenter said Yamaha sent out a letter and will put in a updated spring for free
My 2022 has 8 hours on it. Had this issue within the first 2 hours, dealer "fixed it", got it back, rode an hour or so and realized the case was cracked from the inside out from something coming lose and being forced into the case from the inside, they "fixed" that, THEN, I changed the oil and it was silver with lots of metal in the oil, changed again and rode and it still has silver and magnetic fillings all in the oil, dealer says that's normal (it's not or it would of done that before they worked on it also but it didn't) and now they refuse to work on it even though they did not repair it properly under the warranty. I'm just going to ride it until the transmission seized I guess lol
Dang man. That sucks. I mean some oil glitter is kinda normal while the transmission is breaking in but. I would at least run a drain plug magnet to catch it and keep track
@UpAllNight91 after changing the oil after 3 rides, each time I rode the oil looks much better, there are still fine metal but less so that might be good
That's good. I would get a magnetic drain plug to help collect the normal shedding and also keep track
Did not put the washer back on bro
Yes I put the washer on the shift shaft off camera out of habit. So when I slide the shift shaft back in the motor the washer was already on it.
you left a bit of sand in the very bottom triangle
Oh man. Crap!
there’s a recall kit that everyone gets if you bought the 22 yz125
The owner is going to call yamaha to see if they have a recall or whatever for this issue since some on here have been saying there is.
Not one ounce of torque spec was used lol. Smack it with an impact call it good.
Yeah man
never seen someone working on a 2022 with a black and decker drill and can't afford an impact😂
Buddy literally used an air impact through the whole video...
@@brentbaker954 buddy literally used a black and decker drill instead of an electric impact....
@@linkinpiatak6669 he also used an air impact. Do you know what an air impact is?
my one just make 50h never had that problem...
Who tf are you to say 10 hours is to long, how much money do you have bro, a bottle of oil is 10 dollars. I’ve gone 200 hours on stock clutch still works new changed oil 4 or 5 times. No need to change 10 hours unless your James stewart and have that kind of money. Come on man don’t harp on the dude for not having it like that
Really just depends on the rider. On my wifes YZ125 I can run the oil for 10 hours in her bike no problem. But on my YZ125 by 3 hours the oil is nasty dirty and surely due. It just depends on how hard the rider rides the bike and how heavy the clutch is used.
