I just bought an used Yamaha TTR-125 dirt bike.
Bike was running fine, all of a sudden it does not start using the electric start or the manual kick.
Battery is new and oil changed done recently also a new spark plug is put in. Please advise what cause the issue and how to resolve it.

Clean the plug and try again with the kick if the battery is dead,
if that works - you need to do some carb tuning, if not it
could be a wiring problem - make sure you are getting good spark to the plug

If its 2 stroke, use Yamalube to mix with the gas. 4 Stroke I use castrol 20w 50.
My boyfriend rides a Yamaha dirt bike, and after he rides (regardless of which track he is on) the tires have a blue tint to them. Anyone know why? He asked me, and so help me look smarter than he is! 
Exhaust from the dirt bikes exits and the heavier partials, unburned oil partials, fall into the dirt. The rubber tires have a reaction with the oil making them slightly blue. So the answer is the oil in the dirt.
What are the pro's and cons of each type of dirt bikes? like what are the subtle differences that make people prefer each brand between Honda, KTM, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha? for example i hear with honda you have to replace the valves a lot? just wondering what the differences are…
The valves are only an issue on the crf250r. A lot of the subtle difference are just that. SUBTLE. But MotorcycleUSA has some great reviews on youtube. Also magazines and websites like TransworldMX and Dirt Rider have great reviews. Pick a color. (Stay Japanese)
I have a 2006 Wr250f Yamaha Dirt Bike. When the bike is on is really hard or impossible to shift neutral. However, when the bike is off I can shift neutral with no problem.
It's called a safety feature.
I know that there is Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha. Am I missing any? I'm mainly looking for ones you would see in a motocross race. And any kind of business logos, like Thor and Fox.
KTM is known around here as Kan't Take Much
I'm looking into buying a new 450 and I wanted some opinions on which would be the best in general, or for me specifically.
I ride a lot at the track, but a lot of my riding is also done in the mountains, in the woods, and on trails. Right now im leaning more towards the Honda, but its up in the air.

Thanks.
I like, in order:
KTM has the best suspension, lightest weight, most options and the most power. It is the most expensive and parts can be hard to get. The suspension is great but fussy to adjust.
The Yamaha is great for both racing and trail riding. YZF is better for racing and the WR for trails.
The Suzuki and Kawasaki are about the same and are good for both and they have very tough motors.
The Honda has great suspension and is easy to ride fast but the motors wont last the longest.
BTW, Cycle News sucks and I wouldn't put much trust in what they say. They mostly do street bikes anyway.
I am 13, i have been on a motocross once. i want to start racing and i am 5'7, 115 pounds, and i want either a yamaha yz85, or yamaha yz125. or a honda cr85, or honda cr125.
which bike would you choose for me, and i want to get a later model like 2003. thanks alot.
i meant i have been on a motocross track once, but ive ridden for 2 years.

Go with the yamaha 125, the hondas are slow, and they dont make them any more
I’m going to be getting a dirt bike sometime in the next month or so, and was wondering what you think would be good for me to get? im 5′ 6″ , 110lbs. i have rode a dirt bike before my friends XR70 and DRZ110,(kinda small) my friend taught me to ride , i did do a little jumping but nothin extreme.
A 110 is kind of small I agree you’ll want something that you can learn with and also grow wih being you’re already 12 years old I recomend a yamaha ttr 125, or a honda crf150. Both these are great beginner bikes and good for jumping or just riding around. My 13 year old nephew has a ttr 125 and loves it, he’s smaller in size and can handle it very well. Yamaha makes great everything, I love all their 4 stroke stuff and i’m mostly a suzuki fan, I would say yamaha is the leader in 4 strokes and makes the best around. The honda crf150 is a great bike also, a little more power than the ttr125 but not any heavier and will grow with you forever, i’m an adult rider and would be comfortable on a crf150 for just riding around. Take a look at these two bikes and ask dealers some questions even if you don’t buy from them it’s good to ask the pro’s they’ll be able to answer anything else that we can’t on here.
I baught a dirt bike from a place called pep-boys auto and i cant find any decals for it.
What does " baught " mean ?
Do you mean " bought " ?
Why not contact the shop where you bought it from, they will tell you the brand.
