excellent craig

i wouldnt do an oil change on the bike yet though get the engine moving first just put a few drops in each pot to give it a bit of lube

remove the plugs and drop a bit of oil down each port and leave it over night then turn it with a spanner as for the battery if its been stood 2 years it will be fooked a new one will be needed by the waywelcome to the site stick a post in newbies

what do you mean it wants to pull quicker but it wont

i looked and thought...who are these two i dont remember seeing them then recognised the gear you had on then thought she wasnt on that bike earlier

get it welded

had a brill day and was nice to clear my head thanks Naz

not sure if the GS one will fit but whats actually wrong with the one on there now ? can it not be repaired at all ?

yeah robbing a bike sounds about right is there nothing in the service book for it ? you havent put it in ferry/service mode have you

yep that was me in the bus best place is Honda stealer miles kingsport i would ring them first see if they can help i know they will just say bring it in

this HISS on honda's is a complicated affair time for a trip to the stealers mate!!!! ps was that you on pincess ave last night carrying a computer

you can do it yourself if you know what you are doing and i wont even do it as it can be a black art first things first though start the bike and put your hand over the exhaust and keep it there you will hear it blowing if there is any leaks and the bike should stop if there is no leaks

have a look here for your nerest tuning centre http://www.dynojet.co.uk/tuningcentres.php?type=1 a dyno is a rolling road they put your bike on it and do a series of runs in 1st gear all the way to 6th and a 4th gear roll on the dyno analyses the gasses comming from the exhaust and lets the tuner know whats hapening with the fuelling you can then have the bike set up if needed and the bike will run miles better prices very £20 - £30 for a dyno run and £120 upwards for it setting up as yours is carbed you want need a power commander just different jets and maybe needles adjusting but as your new to bikes it could just be normal i always put my bikes on a dyno for peace of mind

what bike is it ? it could be one of 2 things leak in the exhaust system letting air in on the overrun which causes it to pop or the bike is overfueling at closed throttle both wont do any harm but if its the fueling you could do with having it set up on a dyno and it will be a lot smoother no popping and possibly a little more power

they will all be fine just buy the cheapest

yes i would use the top one if any really but they will all do the job

yep deffo fuel filter is that on a mini moto ?

hmmmm i fogot humber and yorks 4x4 where going to this i might get my 4x4 on too

then im sure its your fuel filter then where does the bottom pipe run to

all the ones you have posted are fuel filters and can be used but not sure if the pic of the broken part is a fuel filter hard to see from the pics does the top pipe run to the fuel tank ? and the easiest way is smell it and your answer will be there

who are all the other clubs Tony ? just been nosey pm me them if ya like

try this fault_finding.pdf

could be a blocked fuel line stopping the fuel flowing freely to the carb or gummed up carb

all is welcome 8)

ah thats ok then i have a keen eye for these scamera vans and tend to spot them from miles away
