  1. Might get along to this,just up the road from me.
  2. Dont know your bike specifically but it looks very similar to the clutch operating arm on my GT380. That's looks like its a return spring for the arm.
  3. Took a trip there today on the R1with a couple of guys from work. Watched a power boat water skiing race...which looked safe About 230 mile round trip,left Rugby at 8 am,back home at 3.30pm. Not a massive turn out of bikes today,weather put paid to that
  4. Might get along to this. Does all the jap crap have to go sit in the corner?
  5. Called in there yesterday with the Mrs,yeah I know spoiling her,was surprised how busy it was for a weekday. GT380 is primed and ready to go.
  6. This weekend at super sausage cafe nr Towcester and a number of other dates at different locations around the country during the summer. Test rides available. https://bikes.suzuki.co.uk/news-events/?isEvents=true
  7. They would need to be licensed to offer credit ,if they are a professional bunch they should just say ,sorry can't do that. If they did agree,I would be very wary. Do you really know these people well enough to want to owe them money? Assume usual sources of borrowing money;bank,family and friends are off the table? If so afraid you will just have to be patient and save up.
  8. Assuming the new sprockets are the same size as the old ones,Just count the number of links in the old chain. It will have stretched as MB said so laying them side by side may be misleading.
  9. Should be the three dimensions stamped onto the end face of the outer cage,outer diameter,inner diameter and width.There can be other codes aswell for seals etc. If nothing is present,measure the bore of the swing arm,diameter of the shaft and width of the bearing, any good bearing shop should be able to help. The bearing sizes are normally in round numbers. dont know where you are but I have used these before for a random gearbox bearing on a Nissan Sylvia http://premierbearing.co.uk/
  10. Saturday 10th June. http://www.daventrybikefest.co.uk/
  11. Happened to me in Milton Keynes. Had to pay the fine, but appealed and got a refund. Lesson learned and always double check ticket after closing the doors now.
  12. Last time I blew my top was at a biker who was thrashing a gsxr600 around our estate,doing probably 60-70 mph past our house. This went on for a few weeks,I could hear him blasting around the neighbourhood nearly every night and weekend. One day I heard him approaching,I was just going to get his number plate,but I lost it,stopped him in the road and gave him a right bollocking. He didn't say a word and sheepishly rode off never to see him again.
  13. Good turn out of bikes yesterday. YouTube clip of ride in,I pass by on RGV at 2.04 ">
  14. Next Sunday,ride in starts at the Truckstop on A5. http://www.rugbytowncentre.co.uk/events/bikefest-2017
  15. There is some stuff from Loctite 7200 gasket remover. Used it from stripping paint off some engine parts,can't vouch on gaskets though.
  16. Regular Wednesday evening meet,myself and a couple of guys from work are going tomorrow,Wed 10th
  17. The rubber blocks are called cush rubbers.The thin bit of rubber linking 2 together can break,one is gone in the back of my RGV and its not really an issue to use like that.Once they are fitted inside the hub,they cant go anywhere. The brake spring is ok as well.There is only one cam which turns and opens the shoes,so one spring does most of the work,

    head bolts

    Is it just referring to the exhaust and a poor translation included head bolts?
  19. Take a look at Loctite 598 if you want a silicone sealant. If you want to glue it have a look at 3M DP490
  20. Did you read what was said? in the answer I gave with regards to legality The post and original question was about the tread depth. It was not about cuts, bulges or anything else as I stated, it was simply asking the question about tread depth and was specifically for 49cc machines. If it has cuts, bulges, cords showing or anything like that, then it becomes a defective tyre under the legislation and is a different issue. But for the purpose of the tread, it is legal. I qualified it with ©Nothing in paragraph (1)(g) applies to a motorcycle with an engine capacity which does not exceed 50 cc. Paragraph (1)(g) relates to the tread depth and pattern. Beg to differ your honour, but you asked in the first post if it was legal or illegal, not about tread depth etc? "Following on from the thread about tyre mix, I thought you might enjoy thinking about this one. 49cc Moped. Is this tyre legal or illegal? Remember I know the answer so I don't need the regulations and law thrown at me nor the moral rights and wrongs of riding on a tyre like this I thought for those of you less experienced, you might enjoy debating it and the question is quite simple. Legal or illegal?"
  21. Please do not start this debate again, we have had this over the past 2 weeks The law always over rides the Highway Code. So it is not not contradicting. Advising something is not law Fair enough,but what about? The exemption for mopeds is only paragraph (g)? (27.—(1) Save as provided in paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), a wheeled motor vehicle or trailer a wheel of which is fitted with a pneumatic tyre shall not be used on a road, if— (a)the tyre is unsuitable having regard to the use to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put or to the types of tyres fitted to its other wheels; (b)the tyre is not so inflated as to make it fit for the use to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put; ©the tyre has a cut in excess of 25 mm or 10% of the section width of the tyre, whichever is the greater, measured in any direction on the outside of the tyre and deep enough to reach the ply or cord; (d)the tyre has any lump, bulge or tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure; (e)the tyre has any of the ply or cord exposed; (f)the base of any groove which showed in the original tread pattern of the tyre is not clearly visible; (g)either— (i) the grooves of the tread pattern of the tyre do not have a depth of at least 1 mm throughout a continuous band measuring at least three-quarters of the breadth of the tread and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre; or (ii) if the grooves of the original tread pattern of the tyre did not extend beyond three-quarters of the breadth of the tread, any groove which showed in the original tread pattern does not have a depth of at least 1 mm; or f)the base of any groove which showed in original tread pattern of the tyre is clearly visible.
  22. Yes I read that law,but doesn't this apply? (f)the base of any groove which showed in original tread pattern of the tyre is clearly visible. This contradicts the HC on "tread should be visible" for a moped,suggesting its only advisable?
  23. Is this the MUST and SHOULD wording in HC? Moped tyre should have visible tread, i.e. its only advise? Motorcycles above 50cc must have tread 1mm etc
  24. Legal or illegal for what? Use on the public highway in the UK?
  25. To the letter of the law, legal.Just. You would think the owner would turn it around to get a bit more life out of it?
