  1. Can't understand why anyone would risk it, like all it would take is for someone to change lanes and that's it. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10154964599260112 Saw this in the comments as well, it made me laugh
  2. Yeah, that surprised me, they weren't angry at the guy at all either.
  3. What do you think about the video? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=796767073744898
  4. I've got Oakley Proven goggles and they seems really good so far.

    Forks very soft?

    Thanks for the offer but I think you think i'm in Ashford, Kent but i'm in Surrey. Thanks for the advice though, I will have a look tomorrow.

    Forks very soft?

    Just did some looking and found that it is 10w oil.

    Forks very soft?

    Any idea what oil to add? I don't know what's already in there.

    Forks very soft?

    I have noticed that the forks on my dt125r are really soft. Even when front braking a little bit, they seem to compress quite a lot. Can anyone tell me how I can make them stiffer. I have heard about changing the oil to a thicker grade but I am not sure what oil to choose.
  9. I tried putting a diode onto the dash indicator but the voltage seems to be low (6v flashing) on the dash indicator even without the diode. Any ideas?
  10. I read that it was something to do with installing led's because the stock indicators are bulbs and because the dash light is a standard bulb you get feedback from it. I'm pretty sure they have been wired correctly as there are no other options and they work just fine now.
  11. I read somewhere that it is something to do with the dash bulb not being an led and getting feed back, so I unplugged it and now the indicators work fine. But I don't have a dash bulb. I saw somewhere that you can solder in a diode to get the dash bulb to work. Any idea what type of diode to look for?
  12. So my bike didn't come with indicators fitted so I am trying to fit some but there is a problem. Either direction on the switch causes all 4 indicators to flash at the same time. Anyone got an idea of how I can sort this out.
  13. So I have been practising on my bike and I am pretty comfortable and confident with it. I am planning on doing my cbt soon but the thing is I have no experience on the roads. What should I be studying to get the right information? Any other advice is appreciated.
  14. I have been using fuchs silkolene comp 2 oil.
  15. okay, the battery needed replacing anyway.
  16. I bought the bike about a month ago and I haven't replaced it since so I don't know when.
  17. I went to ride my bike today and it was harder than normal to start, but it started eventually. So I started riding and it didn't seem right, it sounded very low pitched and wouldn't rev past 5k. So I stopped and had a look at it and it just cut out. From then on it was extremely hard to start and would always cut out after about 10 seconds. So I removed the spark plug to have a look at it and it was very oily and the oil was a dark colour. I cleaned the spark plug and then put it back in the bike and it ran like normal for about 2 minutes and then returned to the same problems as before. I didn't have another look at the plug but I am pretty sure that it would be covered with the dark oil again. I am very new to bikes so I am not sure what the problem is. Any advice?
  18. Recently bought a helmet and only just realised that after about 45 minutes, my head starts to ache. The helmet feels really good for the first part and I honestly think that the next size up would be too big for me. So my question is will the helmet wear in and get a bit more comfortable as it is only about a week old. If not, is there anything else I can do? Thanks

    Rust Removal?

    Anyone know how I can remove some of the rust and clean up my front pipe?
  21. If I do a cbt course when I am 16, does this allow my to ride a 125cc bike on the road aslong as I have L plates and dont carry a pasenger while I am 16? Just wanted to make sure.
