2011 Yamaha YZF 0.1L Petrol · BL11 DXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in September 2025 at 45,721 miles followed a failure due to electrical issues, specifically the horn and stop lamp, alongside a missing rear footrest. While the bike passed the re-test, the persistence of advisories regarding pitted rear brake discs and a deteriorated front brake hose suggests that mechanical components are only being addressed once they threaten a failure or reach visible limits. At 45,721 miles over 15 years, the motorcycle shows a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2023 and September 2025, where the bike covered only 643 miles in over two years. This low-frequency use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metalwork, which aligns with the recorded deterioration of the front brake hose and the pitting on the brake discs noted between 2022 and 2025. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows a recurring trend of brake wear, with discs flagged as worn back in 2022 and pads reaching minimum limits in 2023. The misting on the nearside front shock absorber reported in 2022 requires a physical check to ensure the seal has not progressed to a full hydraulic failure. Additionally, the drive chain and sprockets were flagged as loose and worn in 2023; these should be inspected for excessive stretch or teeth profiling, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry or seized chains during long periods of inactivity.
