If the petrol in tank is E10 it may be worth draining and replenishing with fresh..as it absorbs moisture over a shorter time period . ( unsure whenE10 became available in Portugal )

The National Association For Bikers with a Disability may be worth contacting https://www.nabd.org.uk/

You may be lucky then ...

You will probably find it won't work as fy is Fuel injected and 98 are carbs so may not have the desired pressure

Google Police Snap ... See how many uk forces have launched this ability and focus on dash cam footage ... and the prosecutions run quite high . So this is everywhere . So make it part of your decision making .. If i do that how will it be perceived ? Yes it may be over the speed limit but that takes a bit more for them to prove but are my actions falling into a chargeable catergory ...

So by not starting do you mean The engine is not turning over when you press the starter button . or is it Turning over but not starting . ? something to think of if its turning over but not starting The engines may be the same but is ignition pick up the same or does it need thecorresponding ecu/cdi ..

Try hitting the brake calipers with a bit of timber or a non metal hammer .

But if you then know what it is , and you know what your bike is you can possibly google replacing cam chain tensioner on xyz bike ? As some models have explicit instructions on how they are replaced etc so i would not instruct on a model i am not aware of ...

Yep i did but someone comes on asking a simple question and the thread ends up being full of needless drivel . So just in case the poster missed the answer to their question within it i thought i would clarify it .

Cam chain tensioner is its name ...

Nope. Only if you passed your car test before before 1 February 2001 without l plates you can ride a moped (50cc /limited to 28mph) The term moped (assigned category AM on a UK driving licence) describes any low-powered motor driven cycle with an engine capacity not greater than 50 cc (3.1 cu in) and a maximum design speed of no more than 45 km/h (28 mph). You do not need to take compulsory basic training (CBT) to ride a moped if you passed your car driving test before 1 February 2001. You’ll still need to complete CBT to ride a motorbike, however. Depending on your licence issue the catergories may be different https://www.gov.uk/old-driving-licence-categories You can check licence entitlement online

Hgv Dont follow sat nav .... (Hgv do not use this road )

Iam now do a fellowship where you retest every 3 . But its a personal choice , you pay a bit less than normal nembership but to retain Advanced you have to pass ( whilst standard membership as long as you pay your dues your an Advanced Rider for life ) I have to redo Masters every 5

Both Rospa and IAM are based from Roadcraft But Rospa and Police only use Roadcraft as a Source material . IAM use their own created material which has been taken from Roadcraft . The basis is the same but small differences .

You will probably get the same discount for doing bikesafe and as if that is the only reason then not worth the outlay .

Good club to join. Get down to St Crispins for a Wow moment on their monthly Sunday meets as can get upto 200 members easily . The thing you need to understand is what you are wanting to take away from it . Will it make you faster ....Doubtful Will it make you the best rider in the world ...Doubtful As mentioned it is all down to you being a Thinking Rider and it promotes basically risk assessing everything you see and do . Yes we all do it anyway but Advanced Riding put's 'guidelines' into this mental assessment to determine our actions . You still can ride like a hooligan but your thought process may be making you a smoother and safer hooligan Or you can ride within the limits and legality and again be smooth and safer .. As for which is best ... IAM has better coverage but no immediate requirement to retest so skills can get a bit stale unless you want to keep on top of them and get reassessed. Qualification is recognised by insurers Rospa found their club side is very 'clicky' but you can become a member and take your test without joining a club if you feel confident in your skills but positive is the mandatory 3 year retest . Most insurers will only recognise a Gold Pass as a advanced riding discount . TVAM hold a lot of additional courses which are well worth undertaking . As well as a huge bunch of rideouts and social events .

Your older vehicle will still run on e10 but it has the potential to dissolve the fuel lines and seals slowly . Creating the risk of a leak and potential fire and risk of poor engine performance .

The way i like it ....
