Hi there, I just bought a 1989 yamaha breeze 125 for my daughter, and I seem to be blowing plugs after every ride....wondering if anyone knows the correct spark plug i should be using or if anyone has had the same problem?? I dont have the manual,but wondering if the guy i bought it from was using the wrong plug...once i put in a new plug it runs fine for that time then next day need to change the plug again.......thanks carrie

Caught you again Bot, you double poster you.

Carrie, your Breeze could be fouling plugs for many reasons. Fist thing, obviously, make sure you are using the right plug. If the plug is right, tell us what your bad plugs look like, take a good picture if possible that will help alot.

Hey there, ok I took some pics of the plug, but I cant seem to upload them...I think my file size is to big...and i have no idea how to decrease the size...if you would like I could email them to you if that helps....but I will describe what it looks like.... When I remove the plug it is very black, not overly wet, but appears to be full of carbon! The plug Im using is an NGK CR7HSA. Thanks.

Sounds to me like she's running too rich. You might have a fuel mixture screw on the carb that you can adjust. I doubt it was jetted.... Is it all original? Are you getting smoke out of the tailpipe when you are running? If so, is it black?

I agree, that you are probably running rich, or you are getting some oil in the combustion area. Follow ATV mechcanics' suggestion on the fuel screw, it is probably on the left side of the carb or on the bottom, just to the front of the float bowl. Is your air filter clean? A compression test can tell you alot as well. You should be able to clean those plugs with some fine sandpaper and re-use them. Like Stoopidbot said, an image hosting site makes posting pics easy, I use photobucket myself.

Hey there, thanks for the info....yes it is all original! No have not noticed any smoke from the tailpipe...my daughter has only driven it a few times.....will check the fuel mixture screw and get back to you.....THanks.

Good luck, remember to check that air filter, a dirty filter could very well be your problem. I would do that before messing with the carb adjustments. I should have been more clear about that when I posted earlier, sorry.

Carrie, how did you make out with this? Any update?

      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      Hey guys and gals. I've been working on my friends 2007 big bear IRS. Unfortunately after 3 different people got their hands on it and only made things worse every time.  After months of finding just crazy problems everywhere. I'm finally at the point we're its almost 100% !!! But I'm getting a short somewhere between the 4xW switch I believe. I managed to by searching the internet like a  fiend, got my hands on an official Yamaha wire harness for the year and make. But I don't have the numbered component list and to be honest. After hours of going through and making everything so it's  easy to reference. If anyone has a picture of the referenced components. I would be forever in your debt. I've spent hours marking up the blown up diagram so it will be easy, for any possible future repairs. Please and thank you. Here's a picture of what i have so far.  Unsealed it in plastic so oil and crap won't spill or get smudged. This damn things worth it's weight in gold.              Thanks Jeff                2007 Yamaha big bear 400 IRS.       YFM40FBW
