Problem sorted.

Fired her up when I got home from work and she purred like a kitten until she warmed up. Then, same problem.

Turns out she was overheating. The oil was black and had the viscosity of water. I changed the oil and took her out for a spin. She ran a bit lumpy to start but soon settled down and I was out for nearly an hour with no sign of the problem.

I've only had the bike for a month and was told it had been serviced shortly before I bought it. I guess the service didn't include an oil change.

I plan to change the oil again in the near future because I didn't change the filter tonight but, for now, I have my bike back.

My 1992 XV750 will run OK with the petrol tap turned off, but as soon as I turn the fuel on it dies.

Anyone have a suggestion what might be causing this?

The Corsa driver who drove up the dual carriageway in the right hand lane then, when the road split into three lanes for a roundabout, crossed two lanes to turn left without looking or signalling. Thank you for testing my brakes and those of the other road users you nearly killed you complete F**kwit

If you put it in there you'll get it burned

try taking the choke off

That was going to be my advice. I took my divvy 900 out the other day and this exact thing happened. Sat there cursing the bike for a few minutes then realised I'd left the choke on. Sat there cursing myself for a few minutes, switched the choke to off and carried on my ride [emoji16]

Very nice. Many miles of fun to come.

Well done

"I'm sorry Mickey." said the Judge. "I can't give you a divorce just because Minnie has large front teeth, after all she is a mouse".

"I didn't say she had big teeth," Mickey replied. " I said she was f***ing Goofy"

I've been in a couple of bands many years ago. I played rock on a strat back then. I only play rhythm though, don't want to make it cry or sing.

My ex wife has most of my guitars in her attic all I have with me is the Eko Ranger . No room for the other five where I'm living at the mo.

I still play some (acoustic) rock as well as country and other stuff. But I only play for my own amusement these days.

Massive well done. Now you need to get out and get some more experience. And remember, smile, you're supposed to be enjoying this.

Congratulations. Hope Mum & little man are doing OK.

I bet he gets all the bitches

His mates could have helped, rotten B***ards. After a suitable amount of p*ss taking of course.

I had a KZ as my second big bike. It was the best bike Ive ever had but unfortunately it died and cost too much for me to bring back to life. Sold it to an old guy who had retired and wanted a project. He promised to return it to it's former glory.

I still love classic jap bikes and now own a 1982 Yamaha TR1.

I have a totally enclosed chain that runs in lithium grease. Chain lube is not a thing I buy

The arsewipe in the black merc who decided to change lanes right in front of me on the way home tonight. Wet road, back end locked up and only just managed to hold it. Even other drivers were giving him the w**ker sign.

Interesting - what (if any) were the issues with changing by deed-poll? How did it work out with passport, driving license etc?

It was all very simple. I went to the CAB to ask how to do it and they did it on the spot. The adviser wrote out the deed stating that I surrenered all rights to the use of my previous name and from that date I would be legally known by my new name. It was signed by me and two witnesses and that was it. As for passport etc., I keep the original of the deed with my birth certificate so if I need to copy my birth certificate for anything I copy both. I sent copies to all banks and bills etc. It took a total of about three months to stop getting mail in my old name.

I took my wifes surname when we got married. Although it's not as straightforward as it is for a woman to take her husband's name. I changed mine by deed six months before the wedding. I have to say that no one ever commented about trouser wearing or even raised an eyebrow. It was just accepted as what I wsnted to do. I suppose it depends what kind of people you hang around with.

If that had hit him in the chest he'd have no chance. It would probably have burst straight through his rib cage and lodged in a lung.

I've been a first aider for 12 years and I would recommend anyone who can to do a course like this.

BMW drivers

I would suggest a manual 125 until you gain a bit of throttle control and gear changing practice.
