General Discussion / Re: Any old boys still here ?

I'll be cheeky here and say I must be one of the longest, continuously standing members. A lot had enough over time and left the forum but did return.

I beat you by a month, lol. I used to screen shot all your modifications for XT/TT 500’s, still have them saved. Great info in them, and that’s why this forum was always so invaluable. Still poke my head in here  occasionally to see if there’s any interesting reading.

I access the forum from a favourites list on my laptop and got the same message last week.

I don't remember how I remedied the problem; possibly just restarted the laptop.

No problems since.

Thanks.
But I don’t have any antivirus, and I think the iPhone updates automatically.

It’s like the forum has banned the ID (IP?) of my phone, but not my account. The way it would if I were deliberately banned for some reason.
Quite weird.

Sounds like a local software or security glitch. Perhaps a recent update. No such problem with my Windows and Android. There was a few members on Face book who were receiving the same message but no mention of device being used. I would suggest rolling back your last updates for antivirus operating system and browser.

On my iPhone, I get a message:

Sorry skypig, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire


No matter what I try - home, copy a link, it ends up with this message.

No such problems on my iPad (hence this post)

Any suggestions?

Sounds like an interesting job. STAN S is also a member on here . He would be your man and lives in Ballarat.

a well known Viper Vintage racer and Yamaha fan is in Ballarat, he may offer to help if he sees this.

Tech Talk / YZ 125F engine rebuilder

« Last post by waynec125f on October 11, 2025, 12:52:26 pm »

Hi all. Can anyone recommend an engine rebuilder for a 1979 yz125f. I'm in Ballarat, so preferably in Victoria.
Also the engine was pulled down a few years back and from memory I think the cases were not suitable for a rebuild. There have been at least two welded repairs carried out in the past that I can see, on both cases. The left case has had the crank bearing housing welded and machined. The right case also has a repair. I think the barrel, head and the rest are ok. I'm not sure if there is any way to reuse these cases or do I just bite the bullet and source replacements? I have photos but can't see where I can add them?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
