  3. Remove the relay and hardwire the power out terminal it may just be a dosgy relay, or try swapping out another relay from something not needed to start the bike if you have one

    Respray Wheels

    Plstidip is a no in my book, texturised finish im not a fan of. If you can do what stu reccomends and powder coat its far supirior and will also smooth the cast effect in the center of the wheels but respraying is easy enough if you fancy getting your hands a cool colour
  5. Im surprised a dispatch rider is that lax at riding and keeping himself safe.
  6. Not married yet but i have an engagment ring that the missus bought me after i gave her hers
  7. Unfortunatly not, monies tight with the other halfs driving lessons
  8. Clicking can be a sign of dud battery, might be fully chraged but not enough cells taking chrage. Need to start with basics. If it run out while running you should also check your stator
  9. Video wont load for me, so you have no ignition at all on the key? Have you tested voltages? Starting with batt
  10. Who cares about straight line speed anyways especially on a 125, take him to some twisties and see if he can actually ride a bike or if he is a point and squirt rider
  11. Drain flush and replace the fuel, check plugs, could have flooded?
  12. Put a sticky L plate on his back
  13. Sounds like you went through the motions as you should although im guessing you also indicated? Maybe they were just an idiot or maybe your perception of how slow he was gainingbor how far behing they were is off, either way learn from it and move on, they are everywhere
  14. Tell him to jog on and stop meeting with him. Or iron him out. Or just point out he is a licence holder with a learners bike cant he handle a proper one? No offence to you bike how ever. I personally like the idea of new plate and speed cameras dont forget to take your l plate off though (who said that?)
  15. Sportsbike shop and you will get a decent one for £70 by decent i mean it will hold up well in an accident.
  16. Bikes ftw! A friend of mine has spent in the region of 120k on an evo 8 chasing quarter mile times and he bought a bike to use on the dragstrip cbr600rr and it is only a second off his car after some cheap mods. How cheesed off was he? Very!
  17. I have metal caps on my car, but they are stainless with o-ring seals, i had some cheap novelty type r ones on my old car and they fused to the valves (didnt check tyres for ages) had to get a tyre shop to replace the valves in the end
  18. Well.......... Not a bad show, some nice bikes on display there old and new. Quite comical watching people on the wheelie machine. Few more trade shop stands than last year but prices not quite what you would expect, unless its tat. I feel sorry for the unfortunates that buy some of the gear in the side stalls, leather jacket and trousers for £80 all in and my dressing gown has more weight. And those bloody polite jackets were everywhere, and someone even wandered round in one. Plenty of food stalls. America won the flat tracking against england but i think its a fix as the leader was a brit for most the race then he all of a sudden slowed down deliberatly! Plenty of live action going on. Unfortunatly out of the 5 of us that were going the last two backed out last night, so yes i went alone, not doing that again i got bored after i walked the show a couple times. I ended up leaving and going wheels for something to eat and then took a scenic route home
  19. Cruel but funny
  20. that was me, utter waste of time. Im hoping how ever that this one as its a fully established event that it will be a good day out
  21. Im paying 19 quid, my mate pre ordered 2 tickets
  22. They are much too common now, a lot of my mates have them and then rave about them but while they are good, it's mainly because they can't afford anything else, which is turning them into peasant wagons I intend tofirst find someone who services rotary engines, then pay them to let me sit in on a tip and seal refurbish, and then do it myself on one I buy. I've always wanted to learn about the rotary engine as it just looks great to work on in general. Mazdas tend to be quite typical of Japanese cars, it's all compact but surprisingly easy to work on No need pal rotarys are easy peasy. Go on youtube and look for rotary engine wheeler dealers, edd does a great section on how to check and replace if needs be. And if its a twin (or quad) just repeat for each chamber you remove. You can pick up these cars sub 1k that need a refurb because they not been maintained. My step mum has one since new, twin rotor, 45k on the clock and mint cond, and its worth under 2k fsh. Its a shame really as they are top cars but very quickly becoming chavs choice if they can afford the ins
  23. just buy the rx9 when it comes out its 300bhp out the box
  24. Im going on sunday, hope the weather holds up meeting a few people on the way down
