If your changing the clutch lever you don't need to bleed anything in fact same with a brake lever, as far as I know but i've only done things like this on my Honda cg 125. Bu I wouldn't hav thought it to be any different

Hope I'm right on this coz I'm not certain Beamer,but I'm pretty sure the yamaha (YBR?) 125 doesn't have a hydraulic clutch so no bleeding will be needed. I t has a cable operated clutch so to change the clutch lever you just have to undo the tensioner on the cable, undo the bolt holding the lever on. unclip the cable by pulling out the nipple past the slotin the lever.remove old lever ,then bolt on new lever. Then simply reverse the procedure, tension up the cable and it's done. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Ride it to Pheonix and ask them nicely if they will change it, ask them for how much and they will probably do it for nothing if you are lucky (big smile at the mechanic)

Tina, PM jonneyflame. He changed my cbr's, both levers cos they were too big for my tiny hands. And he'll do it for you too, if you live around.

Changing levers is pretty straightfoward...

Hydraulic
remove any gaiters or covers over the lever
Remove light or inhibit switches noting how they fit
Remove nut + bolt holding lever
Replace lever
Grease Pivot bolt + lever pivot + where it pushes on to master cylinder
Refit in reverse order

Cable
Remove gaitors and covers from lever
Remove light or inhibit switches noting how the fit
Not the amount of freeplay in the lever
Slacken cable right off at handlebar + align slots in cable holder, nut and lever
Remove nut + bolt holding lever
Remove lever, turning 90 degrees away from the bars + removing cable and pull lever up to disengage cable from lever (use the slots to remove the cable)
DO NOT pull voilently. If it won't go with a bit of a pull, find some more slack
Replace lever in reverse of above.
Grease pivot bolt + cable nipple + lever pivot
Adjust cable tensioner by handlebars to get the same amout of freeplay as at start. Do up locknut to finish.

If all else fails go to dealer, smile sweatly and ask them to do it. Most will do it there and then for little or no fee.

No bleeding required for levers, Only if you are changing the master cylinders at the same time.

If its a 125 then as far as i know there arn't any with hydralic clutches [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
