  1. I'd do it more often than that! or get a scottoiler
  2. well done!, welcome to a whole new world!
  3. anytime Friday afternoon I should think I won't be there till about 6 but others probably will.
  4. I like the A5!, nice and wide! usually just go straight down the middle!
  5. my oil light comes on randomly! sometimes doesn't do it for months, other times it's on almost constantly. I'm almost sure it's an electrical fault, but it is worrying riding along with the red light on
  6. I very much doubt I'll be riding anywhere! Megawatt's coming FRi by earlier arrangement. It's open house from Sat noon. I have no idea where we're going to park all the bikes but we should be able to cram them in somewhere It really needs to stop raining or you'll be camping in 3ft high wet grass and dog shit
  7. You do know that you can't ride it on the road without passing your CBT? and having Tax and Insurance? and you need a helmet. If you're going to a training school to do your CBT ask there, they may be able to help you out with getting the bike to go.
  8. ok I've had a look on the net. It's a single cylinder, 2 stroke, twist and go. you won't start it by pushing it! You need to make sure it's got petrol and 2 stroke oil first. when you say nothing happens when you try the kick start what do you mean? does the engine turn over? or is the kick start solid? If it's solid you have a big problem! If it turns over then you need to get a spark plug spanner and take the plug out like Tango said. Get back to us and we'll try to help. If there is a "kill switch" on the handlebars make sure it's in the run position. Does it have a fuel tap? if so make sure it's on.
  9. goddd. i have friends they will check tomorow. I got spark and i bought new one aswell so i need tool only. I got lots of tools but not that one this one is a bit different .. Where do you live can you not come ? :/ no I live hundreds of miles away! nice try!
  10. Have you got a friend who knows about bikes who could take a look? It could be almost anything! As Tango said, you need to go through things methodically. Have you got a spark? is fuel getting through? etc etc. has it got a kill switch? side stand cut out switch? Good luck!
  11. Are you sure about the room? it's new since last year if they have! I'm bringing our own room
  12. well done!, welcome to a whole new world
  13. Can't see why not! depends who it is have you read the first post on this thread?
  14. yes John! you're welcome, only camping available though I'm afraid
  15. Congratulations! welcome to a whole new world!
  16. not bad! saw a bit of the racing when we got home. ( at least I'm not last! )

    Battery Prep

    I've got a Halford's charger but it has switches for car/bike, and gel/normal batteries, it also has a charge and maintain function! If yours is just a bog standard, 1 setting car charger, don't use it for a bike battery! A new battery will probably have enough charge to start the bike, then just go for a ride job done!

    again without hearing it it's hard to say! but I'll guess most(all) liquid cooled bikes have an extra cooling fan that comes on once coolant has reached a certain temp to prevent overheating. If yours is stood idling for a while then the fan will probably come on. It shouldn't be on all of the time! any doubts at all with a new bike I'd take it back and ask. The fan on my Fazer1000 comes on really quickly! especially if I've got the choke on, it goes off as soon as I move though!
  22. It could be almost anything! I'd go for crappy fuel myself! fill it up with fresh and see what happens.
  23. have you got a pedal bike? if so practice on that, over and over again in as small a space as possible. Look where you want to go! Don't look where you don't want to go! Susieque had the same problems but we got her through it by doing the above! And remember! it's meant to be fun! enjoy it!
  24. 2 more today! we did 170 miles! Sue on her 125 betwsy coed ponderosa
