Now I'm retired I'm in a quite comfortable position, not as well off as working ,but OK. One thing I would advise though is , if your partner was a stay at home to look after the family (as was the case years ago) then they will not receive a full pension, if they weren't signing on or paying their own stamp,the most you can pay retrospectively is 6 years, you can get a pension forecast by writing to the DWP, also if their pension is low then you can transfer their Tax allowance to your own , I do this as getting taxed on my Pensions , but the allowance does help, which I return to my wife to make her pension better, so Im still getting taxed at 20% which is better than the 40% I was getting when working

Well I think shattering of my elbow hand and wrist constitute fairly badly hurt, I was close to losing my left arm and was bleeding out quite badly apparently oh and when the police arrived they brought over a body bag for me because they had just been to a fatal accident and thought I'd be the second Hi matey , I know people say "as you get older you get wiser" , forget that I'm in my late 60s and I still do things I shouldn't on the bike , and having that Blade doesn't help, but I aint gonna sit in a rocking chair looking out of the window

New bikes and who rides them, saw this on another forum ,interesting http://www.mcia.co.uk

I tried to ride a DT125 long distance once but it was a miserable experience. Every time you go over a bump you find yourself halfway up the tank due to the shape of the seat . Mind you this was a long time ago so maybe the design has changed . Yeh, the 04-07 was a better "on road" than "off road", suspension was better suited to on road

Echo whats been said, Honda CBR , CBF, CB 125 4 strokes, if your determined for a 2 Stroke ,would only recommend the DT125X 2004-07 , but got to remember 2 stokes need more attention to servicing than 4 strokes, and higher running costs

Jets ,Headers , Exhaust .its a hard and painstaking job to get it perfect, this is a great book to find out with http://www.amrca.com/tech/tuners.pdf

From the Manual

Collected all the Practical Sportsbike magazine since it came out, its merged with Bike now so will not be collecting anymore

Welcome to the forum Cant give you an answer regarding the bikes ,I only ride Honda's

Hi sealing ring should be in the box the oil filter came in, or do you mean the sump washer

SAE 10W-40, API SF/SG or SH/SJ with JASO MA

[mention]Pbassred[/mention] did you get the manual?

Also are there any codes on the panel

To check the ECU is earthing undo the electrical connector to the injector connect a test light between the two wire on the harness side, crank the engine and see if the lamp flashes ( if you have a noid lamp do it with that)

Hi Mark , I always say if a bike has two wheels ,and an engine it's a motorbike ,if this is going to be your first bike you will look back on it with fondness, you will in the future get another bike, but as long as you have confidence in this bike ,then your most of the way through your endeavour, I like foreign bikes too.... got two Honda's

Maybe time to get the multi meter out and check out the Ignition circuit along with the Crank pos sensor, even a faulty start/stop switch, what sort of spark you getting, what fault codes is it kicking up
