Thanks for popping by to look at the bike Alan

Yes, I think so!

Nut fits! Thanks Megawatt

I think I'm alright for spanners, Ive got quite a few knocking around, just need to find em!! Had a look in Aldi, wasnt too keen on the boots, thought it would be better to pay a bit more when I can and get some that feel right.. Quite liked the trousers but they were very heavy.. i'm a bit fussy

Thank you so much I'll keep looking for the master cyclinder, Im sure something will pop up on ebay at some point.

Haven't had chance to do this yet but hopefully I can pop down there on Wednesday What do you think of this to replace the brake master cylinder? Bit worried that I can't check the break fluid level at the moment.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2010-Jialing- ... 2550153%26

B*gger, Jailing nut has arrived and its too big, 14mm I think. I'll check out the other one! Get there in the end

Ok, I'll see what I can find out. If I cant get get it sorted, a trip to Northiam may be on the cards

Ive ordered the nut, does it need a new spindle? They have one but its 20 quid. Forgot about the washer! What size does it need to be?

They have confirmed that it is fine thread

Thanks Alan Ill contact them to check and get one ordered, I used them for the other bits for the exhaust and their delivery was very quick!!

Yes please

Bike is now sorted thanks to a very helpful and talented megawatt!! Back wheel is back on, exhaust is back on, everything has been adjusted and checked and the bike has been given the once over so I'm back on the road

Hi Would be great if you could pop by? I cant ride it to you, no exhaust I'll pm you, glad I came on here now! and nice to have a reference for you....

I really dont know.. as i say I have to put it behind me and move on with getting the bike sorted. Thanks for the info on the set up, its really helpful.

As Tiggie suggested, I think the exhaust came off to give access to the spindle nut.

Its the whole exhaust, the bike is a copy of an early Honda, CB I think. Dont worry, I definatley wont be letting him near it again, i was just in a real fix stuck in a car park on a Sunday with no way to get home!! Im still a little confused about the collet, does it sit outside the exhaust inside the flange? It would probably make sense when I take a look at it.

Hi It was the rear tyre so they took the exhaust off to take the tyre off. It all became a bit of a farce and something I'm trying to put behind me!! Two weeks since my cbt and i have only been able to ride the bike once!

Hi I'm new to the forum Ive just bought a Jialing 125, 1999 for a couple of hundred quid to trot about on when the sun is shining and to see how much I enjoy riding a bike after owning a 50cc Suzuki some 30 years ago... I know its Chinese and its probably a pile of poop etc. but it runs pretty well, I assume anything that is going to fall off will probably have done it by now and it will do me ok until I decide to give it up or take my test and get something bigger. The problem I have is that I got a flat, someone offered to repair it for me, couldnt do it, lost the the flange off the exhaust and I'm now left with a bike with a flat tyre and no exhaust!! Not pleased.. I figure I can probalby put the exhaust back on my self so Ive purchased a new flange and gasket. Can anyone give me any tips on fitting it? i.e. the order of the various bits, the part that is confusing me is a split collett, Im not sure how/where this part fits, eveything else seems pretty straight forward. Thanks in advance for any advice!!
