Default 99yz 125 problems

ive had my yz125 for a couple weeks now and of the first couple rides everything was great. when i first bought it the rear shock would not recoil it was just stuck permanently down but the first ride i took with it it fixed itself somehow. it was the only problem and it fixed itself. i noticed that the rear sprocket had broken teeth so today i changed it out and tightened the chain a bit. Now the rear breaks will not disengage, the rear shock is stuck again and i cannot get off the front sprocket for some reason the rear tire just moves with it regardless. also the bike will not moove unless you are in high rpm but when the choke is on it will moove smoothly (regardless if warmed up or not). any help with the brakes/suspension/take off? also i was looking for a free download of the owners manual if anyone has a link

Your shock is toast. And your spring is suspect, too. Buy a new shock.

You replace the chain and sprockets as a set - not just the worn out rear sprocket and then tighten the worn out chain.

The sticky brakes could be from a bent rotor, sticky caliper, stuck pistons in the caliper or bad fluid return bushings.

The lack of take-off - way too many things this could be. Likely a combination of poor jetting, poor compression and/or weak clutch. Or it could be that you have no teeth on the countershaft sprocket. Or it could be that your rear brakes are stuck.

Too many questions in a single post, dude. If you want help, ask a single pointed question. Don't expect anyone to spend an hour trying to answer fifty questions. Be reasonable.

Good luck.

No comment from anyone on the "bad fluid return bushings"???

I was hoping to get a chuckle, at least.

Tough crowd....
