    Rear Brake Light + MOT

    Didn't know about these. This should do the job nicely. Thanks. Didnt read the end of my first reply then
  3. Yeah because everything on the internet is true... I know a guy who can tell you a thing or two about that Theres a video as well ... a couple of girls and some receptacle for bevarage holding
  4. https://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Sugar-Free-Gummy-Bears/product-reviews/B008JELLCA Just don't. Unless it's a gift for someone you hate. ByChristine E. Torokon October 3, 2012 Verified Purchase Oh man...words cannot express what happened to me after eating these. The Gummi Bear "Cleanse". If you are someone that can tolerate the sugar substitute, enjoy. If you are like the dozens of people that tried my order, RUN! First of all, for taste I would rate these a 5. So good. Soft, true-to-taste fruit flavors like the sugar variety...I was a happy camper. BUT (or should I say BUTT), not long after eating about 20 of these all hell broke loose. I had a gastrointestinal experience like nothing I've ever imagined. Cramps, sweating, bloating beyond my worst nightmare. I've had food poisoning from some bad shellfish and that was almost like a skip in the park compared to what was going on inside me. Then came the, uh, flatulence. Heavens to Murgatroyd, the sounds, like trumpets calling the demons back to Hell...the stench, like 1,000 rotten corpses vomited. I couldn't stand to stay in one room for fear of succumbing to my own odors. But wait; there's more. What came out of me felt like someone tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a coffee straw. I swear my sphincters were screaming. It felt like my delicate starfish was a gaping maw projectile vomiting a torrential flood of toxic waste. 100% liquid. Flammable liquid. NAPALM. It was actually a bit humorous (for a nanosecond)as it was just beyond anything I could imagine possible. AND IT WENT ON FOR HOURS. I felt violated when it was over, which I think might have been sometime in the early morning of the next day. There was stuff coming out of me that I ate at my wedding in 2005. I had FIVE POUNDS of these innocent-looking delicious-tasting HELLBEARS so I told a friend about what happened to me, thinking it HAD to be some type of sensitivity I had to the sugar substitute, and in spite of my warnings and graphic descriptions, she decided to take her chances and take them off my hands. Silly woman. All of the same for her, and a phone call from her while on the toilet (because you kinda end up living in the bathroom for a spell) telling me she really wished she would have listened. I think she was crying. Her sister was skeptical and suspected that we were exaggerating. She took them to work, since there was still 99% of a 5 pound bag left. She works for a construction company, where there are builders, roofers, house painters, landscapers, etc. Lots of people who generally have limited access to toilets on a given day. I can't imagine where all of those poor men (and women) pooped that day. I keep envisioning men on roofs, crossing their legs and trying to decide if they can make it down the ladder, or if they should just jump. If you order these, best of luck to you. And please, don't post a video review during the aftershocks. PS: When I ordered these, the warnings and disclaimers and legalese were NOT posted. I'm not a moron. Also, not sure why so many people assume I'm a man. I am a woman. We poop too. Of course, our poop sparkles and smells like a walk in a meadow of wildflowers. Thanks for all the great comments. I've been enjoying reading them and so glad that the horror show I experienced from snacking on these has at least made some people smile

    More YBR issues

    Yes was right hand side, was very gentle drop, I still had hold of it! I don't think it has a kill switch I did check battery connections but will do this again just to make sure, as for all the other connections I shall work through them, I have the Haynes manual so hopefully this will help me with that Generally if I play with the plug cap it helps, so was going to replace that as well just in case Careful playing with plug caps ... the shock from rhe 15,000 to 48,000 volts on most ignition ststems even though rarely fatal can lead to further injury ( recoiling in shock and tripping ) .i never trust the insulation .

    More YBR issues

    Check battery connections Which side did it drop on ...if it was the right hand side (if sitting on it ) could be the kill switch . Or if handlebars were turned harshly when it went over could be the wiring harness got pulled and has caused a dodgy connection at the multi plugs Whilst its running (stationary) try jiggling wires around the bars like the igntion switch wires etc Check and clean all fuse terminals Check the battery has enough acid in it (if its a wet battery) especially seen its been over

    Rear Brake Light + MOT

    Will fail . Also why risk being rear ended because you didnt show a warning to traffic behind that you were slowing or stopping/stopped . Plus can gain you licence brownie points I FIXED PENALTY NOTICE A driver is likely to be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) that will see a motorist issued with a £60 fine and three penalty points on their driving licence. ROADSIDE PROHIBITION NOTICE If the police officer deems the vehicle defect as severe, they may also issue a Roadside Prohibition Notice. A Prohibition Notice varies depending on the severity of the defect. An immediate prohibition comes into effect immediately which will see a drivers vehicle immobilised and unable to drive. A delayed prohibition which is the probable notice issued under such defects as defective brake lights, allows for the vehicle to be driven away and the fault(s) must be fixed within 10 days. The vehicle will need to be reinspected and the prohibition removed before it can be used on the road again Look into inline pressure switches
  9. Re the mark on the engine casing ...has the bike been dropped/slid along ground ... this may have caused the pump outlet to be bent/damaged allowing the hose to seep ?
  10. Green slime is antifreeze reacting with air Triumph recommend OAT coolant not general antifreeze as it will corrode engine parts That is the waterpump housing and sometimes the clips weaken even though they give the impression of tightened.
  11. Some swing arms are not symmetrical due to the depth of brake parts and sprocket carriers hence the need sometimes for different sized spacers on the axle between wheel and swingarm so i would advise not to use this as a guage .
  12. Someone's replaced a bolt probably the one with a philips head in it (i know its technically not a philips ok ) . Go by the mark's on the adjuster sliders and swingarm so that they are even
  13. Rear brake is for minorto mild speed alteration Front is for major speed alteration
  14. Also am i right in thinking your in USA and your turn signal system may be different to ours in its flash rate etc . Plus your description is quite hard to follow But if you've used the wrong type of relay it can have a drastic effect Or if you have wired it wrong then that can cause issues Same as if you have loose wires that can touch earth/live components For fuses to blow generally means live and negative are meeting where they shouldnt Check your wires
  15. Do you A Have fuel in it B have the tap turned on and sufficient fuel level to feed the on setting C Turned it to reserve if the fuel level is low enough to require it
  16. Some tensioners if fully extended by incorrect removal may require a new unit ! Others dont but anyway principal of them are ... The centre bolt places tension on via spring so it would fully adjust . You will need to get the tensioner blade back in ( generally a little pawl on the ratchet teeth method) or some work on a screw retention system ) To refit Have tensioner centrebolt removed Tensioner blade/arm fully retracted Reattach tensioner body using mounting bolts Make sure any alignment marks in correct place (up etc) and gasket is sealed Re insert tensioner central bolt and tighten ...you willhear it click ... turn engine over preferably by hand ( short spins on motor at worst ) . Check tightness of bolts and for leaks Removal Undo and remove central bolt (warning will be under mild tension and possible plunger and spring mech may be detachable Undo the mounting bolts Withdraw the housing noting its alignments Check tensioning arm/blade for damage and free travel .
  17. Is that the tensioners actual travel or is it just auto adjusted on removal ( did you remove it in the correct manner (if i remember correctly you remove the central tensioner bolt to remove the loading tension and then the housing bolts) Generally cam chain wear is checked by its deflection between two points If its saying that it has reached its maximum stretch limit i would do a visual check to rule out any broken/worn links especially if its a low milage engine . Sometimes the cam tensioners get noisy on their point of adjustment and once adjust they take up the Slack and be quiet until the next click.
  18. Tape it to the electric cord Or weld some chain on to it and attach it close by When finished hand tighten it into the chuck
  19. Easy way to find a chuck key .. Turn the drill on .. they tend to still be in the chuck in my case .... Thank fook i stopped using lathes 20 years ago .... baaaadoooing ..wtf was that
  20. Use to be a difference of a minute or so between Serv Surrey and London blood bike (non blue light) and nhs blue light delivery from Tooting to Medway (dartford ) ..we would play leapfrog throughout the journey. Yes we had blue light enabled bikes but was bound not to be used as not trained or insured . And fitting to civilian cars was a huge no no due to the construction and use regs on blue lights . He deserves all he gets and to then drag the "blood service" ( presumably the voluntary section) into the courts just goes to show he is more doing it for his kudos than to make a difference .

    Holding back

    Check battery connections ..
  22. Be very wary of using plastic or latex gloves for any prolonged period especially inside other gloves http://hourglass-intl.com/2014/05/15/understanding-glove-related-contact-dermatitis/
