Hi you hear of Data Tagging and other secure markings, well I stumbled along a eBay Auction £15-25 Gprs Tracking you put a pay as you go sim in. and put credit on it etc. how accurate are these ? are they any good YAY OR NAY do I waste my money on them ? I was looking to buy a hand full of them basically one for each bike I will be looking to Data Tag my bikes soon too.

Thanks everyones i didn't want to mess around with it as it was idling perfectly, just used to single screws on little bike carbs Since i road this i doubt ill be interested in the little bikes i have left

I have many motorcycle parts and motorcycles somif there is anything i may have that would interest you ill give you a shout I hope to see more mods soon all the beSt dude

Sounds great Biikerdan put rg125 forks on the wbr with the wheels And the ybr wheels and forks on the suzuki rg125 Most tzr parts fit Honda xr spoke wheels may fit I have some flat tyre trial bars if your interested in buying £15 inc p&p

Nooo way!! Get a little pitbike 125 or crosser. I kind of look forward to this posts What do you have in mind with it ? Is it still going to be road worthy

That might be my issue i did notice there was no off on the tap so i put it between half way and reserv What is this for ? Adjusting something ? http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p562/classickid21/kawasaki%20er5%20a3%201999%20project/B4604B83-B977-4685-8329-79F7BB3BCDB4_zpsqodawqun.jpg

Hi I gave it a good tap with a rubber mallet, how would i know if its set on prime there is a little adjuster on the left hand side ill upload a pic soon As i am home

Thank you eastanglianbiker for the reply i will try this on Monday The left hand one isn't doing anything like the right one.

Right got to being brave i took of all the air box and started to clean one carb at a time.... Until the right on would not come apart all the screws have been rounded!!!! Help how do i get rounded screws of i gave it a good clout with the impact tool no luck i maybe made it alot worst. Wont fire up didn't adjust anything. Next stage figure out how to get the carb out of source a working carb from a running bike. Also there is petrol in the air box ? And fuel from the right hand carb spraying into the airbox This is the side thats been rounded and is messing about http://youtu.be/8dVQLYbZxDI Bare with me i am still learning with big bikes

Today update Found the whole that was making the ping noise result but she now is being a pig to start I put fresh fuel in no joys not even flowing into the carbs :/ i squirted carb cleaner down the pipes and stuck the bike on reserve still no joy i blew down the pipes filling the carbs with fuel still no joys, So maybe a sticky float bowl and crap in the jets. This weather is horrible so i have come in for lunch and will be back on it later as it has a flat battery atm grrh Seen a stubby exhaust for £110 on ebay witch i debatting about buying but then i have the issues of getting the current jetting size right.

I am going to sort the Carbs and then mot it and then ill can sort out what I looks like Defiantly need a affordable Aftermarket pipe looks like a over sized Honda Cg at the moment

Yay green bike! http://www.motot.net/talli/ajoneuvot/ka ... 5/id23920/ this is the colour scheme I found and its so nice. I even kinder like the clocks XD

"> This is what it sounds like. I think still needs a good carb clean and sorting out

Yeah i am keeping it girly i have considered black wheels and kawk green body today i ran carb cleaner though the bike let it when i put the screw driver up to the barrel it sounds like its doing what it should be but its going a pinging noise when idling little bit of white smoke on idling after warmed up? Pinging noise is this normal uploading a video on youtube, I have not attempted to take the air box yet as everything has been rounded or bodged grrh

Hiii I just brought one of these for self, i see you know plenty about the er5 i will have to pick you brain one day, over the problems i am having/going to have Regards Classickid

Hello, The previous owner said it was used as a learner bike. He stated what had been repaired New clocks Bar ends Leavers Clutch Cdi Coil Seat and cover Tyres Seals Pads Shoes No recites to prove any of this, still waiting on goodies to arrive and hopefully tomorrow ill pick the bike apart to balance the carbs
