Hi, Not sure if these would be of use, but first clean grooves out like everyone else has said, brakes still won't work with new seals, if grooves are still full of crud! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caliper-Piston-Seal-Kit-25mm-x-27mm-AJP-Caliper-Pair/282868132216?hash=item41dc412978:g:5KkAAOSwmudaAvzM

Hi There's no o ring fitted on the oil filter for a mt125, there's a casing o ring, which is shaped to the casing, but no o ring just for the filters, they just push on. Held in place by outer casing.

Hi, just to let you know, the sidecar when fitted will need a MOT, yes as you say it is as a bolt on, but it will still need a MOT. I've included a link, but setting up chairs is a work of art, and I think [mention]fastbob[/mention] said, you may have to look at changing tyres as well. here's a link http://www.steves-workshop.co.uk/vehicles/bmw/sidecar/sidecaradjustment/sidecaradjustment.html. And another http://www.steves-workshop.co.uk/vehicles/bmw/sidecar/legal/sidecarlaw.html

Sorry mate, misread paperwork!! I'll get back to ebaying then.

Hi, Trying to read the paperwork, think it say's 10 amp for gloves? which if you look at Fuses would be the Red one. all the fuses are marked!! Or should be

Hi, you have a Power commander 5 and it looks like you also have the Auto tune box as well, for more information hop over to the Dynojet website. And as you say controls the fuelling.

Hi, has the fork oil ever been changed! Depending on age of bike and mileage, may just need new fork oil. Most people seem to forget it will deteriorate over time, and you can end up with a clunking sound on knackered oil. And as [mention]megawatt[/mention] recheck headstock bearing they may have settled, and need tightening down again.

Always Yuasa for me, never fit any think else to customers bikes, average live span of 5-6 years, [mention]markhibberd5[/mention] the Motobatt you just brought has lower cranking power than Yuasa, 160 for motobatt 175 for yuasa!!

3 more pub's this morning. The George. The Royal Oak. . The Railway. . Took the Baby Blade for a change. Think I need to lose a few pounds.

Hi as [mention]Westbeef[/mention] says, that is the right part number, here is Fowlers site https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4845156/cbr600rr4-2004-e/cylinder-head. ok But that is for 1 only.

Hi [mention]MR_W[/mention] let me know when you thinking of coming down, we use Compton Abbas Airfield just outside Shaftsbury, they do a good breakfast and cuppa, depending on time of day maybe meet up and then go for a quick blast. And yes road down from Bristol not bad, depending on route you took. I seem to do it quite often.

Hi, just looked at triumph parts list but no thread size on there, to find the pitch size of thread you need a in-expensive little tool, local hardware shop might stock it or they come in a Tap & Die kit. And you just line it up with thread so gauge fits thread you are measuring and read what's marked on side. Normally about a 1m/m thread, but don't take my word for it. here's a couple pictures of gauge. .

Hi, the nut will be a fine thread, so probably not from that store, you could if you knew someone with lathe just machine chrome cap off, or look online at pro-bolt, think they do top nuts.

Metzeler ME 22 Or Michelin pilot street (currently have the pilot street on the rear) but was gonna one or the other on front and rear. But the above models are only available in 2.75/3.00 18 front. The pirelli city demon I’ve have looked into but the reviews have been bad. Pirelli have discontinued them apparently. Finally the Avon wasn’t available in the size I need Hi, Sorry got that wrong about Avon's found them for sale on one site, yet on Avon's site, as you say not available!!! The rim or wheel will be marked, if it says 1.85 you should be able to run the 2.75 tyre.

Hi, if it's a road bike, two good tyres in 80/100 18 sizes are the Pirelli city demons, and Avon AV83 street runner, personally I would go the Avons. What were you looking at, or what don't you like?

Out on the Sv for a few pub's. The Drover's Inn. The Barley Mow. The Cross keys.

Most bikes nowadays haven't got reserve tanks, only 2 of my 6 bikes have reserve tanks, the CBR400RR, and the kawasaki GT550, the rest have just fuel gauge or low fuel warning lights.

Never had a problem either, never wear a balaclava either. but most helmets can change liners.

Hahahahhahahahhahaha my life sucks. Well it said at the back "Use every tank: remove cap and foil seal. Pour half a bottle into fuel tank before or after adding fuel." Also, it's a 250ml bottle Today it's my Murphy's law day. As I said may have changed! unless they mean a car tank! not used any for years now. I expect someone who uses it regular may let us know

Must have changed since I last used redex!!!! Years ago was about 10ml to every 10 litres, and a 500ml bottle would treat 500litres of fuel, if you put in half a bottle in, I wouldn't let it sit for long I would get out and use it!!!

Can't you just buy a genuine Triumph Head Gasket? had a look on here but not sure what model yours is.http://www.worldoftriumph.com/triumph-motorcycle-parts.html, thought it was about £58.00.

Bloody hell, hope they last awhile at that cost, last set on my VFR800, Avon storm 2, 8500 rear 12000 front, always two up with luggage, and just fitted new 3D at £135 pair. Be interested to compare how long they last at that cost.
