Can someone shed light on the same? Thanks in advance.
    Seems the clutch cable needs replacement. Also, check out the spark plug.

    Re: Yamaha Gladiator Drive chain replacement

    hi earlier i have said a problem in Yamaha ss125 (2008) model. problem is my bike stalls at rain. I have checked recommendations like checking spark plug/cap/wire for water and air filter side - replaced with new one did not find any wet signs.

    I thought my problem exists in rain.. but when ride my bike through a half feet depth water it stalls like no fuel/main-reserve... after 5 or 10 mins it is starting again & running normal...

    I remember when i ask mechanic to check alternator for low head light power, he removed alternator cover, replaced gasket. After this only i am facing the stalling problem. Whether water entering through miss aligned gasket (may be) and spilling on alternator? also i would like to know what happens when water spills on alternator?

    The Gladiator thread is very silent here. Nobody is having any issues/experiences to share?

The drive chain requires a replacement as the rear axle has been shifted to its max limt to tighten the slack side drive chain play. Previously I had replaced the drive chain at 27k odometer reading, The gladi has one piece drive chain no lock is there to shorten the chain. Should I replace with orginal purchased from showroom costing 1330 as done before or cut the chain reduce some links install a chain lock or replace with new drive chain sprocket set purchased from local spares shop?Thanking in advanceNehal Nachan
    Buy an original and replace the chain. Never go the chain cutting road except in emergencies, not a long term solution.

    Sorry, my bad. It was to be 2500 INR. One friend of mine got @ 2.5K(as I was informed) from a non-YAMAHA garage. Not sure about the actual price. You can check out from this link:
    https://indiaspares.in/index.php/catalog/category/view/s/gladiator-ss125-series/id/75/

    Add the service charge and you will get an approximate idea.
    Again sorry if I've misinformed you unintentionally. Hope you get the correct unit at the correct price.

The mechanic checked all wires and finally took the tank and tapped on the CDI unit, voila the bike started. But he said, you need to change the CDI unit since it may stop working anytime?

    I am not sure should i trust the mechanic, i feel like checking the total wiring? Another issue, it doesn't idle good, i need to open the throttle to keep the bike started (carburetor tuned and idle screws adjusted)

    Any suggestions?

    I had to replace sproket of my SS125 at 14k km.. It was wobbling a bit and teeth were worn out... it could have been used for a few thousand kms more, but i got it replaced since i drive on longer trails and couldnot afford a breakdown in the middle of road with no garage in the visinity...

    It got worn out because i had been driving in rough muddy or dusty roads all the time...

    However in your case of you are taking good care of it and if on inspection you dont find any wear n tear of teeth, and if you don't feel any abnormal noise from it, you can still use it for another 5k to 10k kms...

    Just be careful.. because if it is worn out, it can give you nightmare in the middle of a long ride....


    Happy riding...

    Yes, that might be the case with my bike I guess. the area I ride through is very muddy during monsoon and during other seasons, I have to negotiate a lot of potholes and dust. Road condition in Kolkata - if you witness, you'll come to know!
    Thanks for the reply. I'll change the chain sprockets in the next servicing - due this month.
