looks good mate glad your enjoying it, be fun when you can open the taps a little more and see what you can get from it

i'd have to open and check it out she starts fine rest of the day just seems the odd morning if she has been sat a while i get this problem

yamaha sr125 i think its the carb needs cleaning/tuning from reading about tbf but just checking in if its possibly something simple ive overlooked

Quick question sometimes my bike isnt starting first time, is there anything simple that could be causing this? ive read bits and bobs but lots of things people mention like tinkering with idle speed, cleaning carb, all dismantle things solutions. Cant be anything serious if its only sometimes when bike has been sat over night.... right is it as simple as its just cold? When it happens the engine starts then you hear the revs slow right down to a chug chug chug stop. if you switch into first when it doing this engine instantly stops. Usually i can start the bike then slowly rev the engine a few times till it sounds more alive then switch up into first and its fine, other times i have to use the choke. Cheers guys.

cheers buddy i was looking about it should wire up but yeah will be a lot of messing about will wait till i got a few days off and have a play about

its got a digital speedo only picked it up cheap so no biggie lol

so i was gonna fit a new odometer as my stock one dosent light up on a night, opening it up today i found its just a blown bulb *sigh* anywho easy fix so having looked at this new ododmeter that has arrived the wiring is completley diffrant to my current one so here is the pics, is this a lost cause or as im guessing a lot of soldering and messing about i do plan on installing it in future when i have more time as im not too bad with electrics household anywho lol Mike. the red wire goes to the erm block? XD

I'll pick a pair up tomorrow not something i thought about , hearing damage that is

Im thinking about it tbh got some in work for like 50p atm lol XD

I like my full face helm. though i do like to ride with the visor up until about 30mph then wind noise just gets on my nerves lol

Mine has the reserve tap but no fuel indicator, when I bought it I was told i had about 100 miles left so didn't think it needed refuelling so soon. Anywho it cut out I didn't know why. Once some more fuel trickeld in it would start and then conk again lol. Put it to reserve and was fine lol , could be fuel not reaching engine for whatever reason certainly made mine cut out lol Glad it's going well and your feeling comfortable again

im looking into a bigger chain since the attempted theft, got cctv and a motion sensor light fitted in the mean time

Hope it gets sorted its not nice when your bike just cuts out mid ride, mine did second day i had it (I didnt know about reserve fuel lines ok?! ) lol

Contacts are a lot better than glass's when riding i can vouch for that buddy but i dont have problems wearing either

lmao i need one of those! in serousniess though i was like that on the a19 first time , got to full revs and sat there for 30 mins saying to myself are we there yet, are we there yet?

Just got a couple of stickers for the bike and helm, how cool ^^

Sweet bike mate, though i hope it doesn't come with the same special manual bmw cars do?

well done Buddy I was the opposite i enjoyed the slow manoeuvring wasn't so keen on the road lol

Did you not go on any major dual carriageways? The A2 is a four-lane road between Greenhithe and the M2 but I have been up and down that section countless time on just a CBT. Plenty of motorway-like A-roads. Apart from one random remaining roundabout the A3 is uninterrupted from Kingston until about seven miles north of Portsmouth, where it becomes the A3(M) and, I guess, far more dangerous. Heading east out of Portsmouth the A27 goes to four lanes, and you need to get into the third one to stay on the road rather than end up on the A3(M) slip road. (Although there is a slip road coming off that slip road for a roundabout, so you could stay left and come off and rejoin if you are unable to change lanes.) It makes me wonder if the fetishization of motorway partially intimidates new drivers, rather than just seeing them just as major A-roads with different colour signs. Nope didnt go on a duel carriageway during cbt, heck we didnt even get above 30mph so at that stage i was totally unprepared to go onto a 70mph road crash waiting to happen lol A roads dont bother me now have done the a-19 lots of times and i use a duel carriageway everyday for work. I think learner bikers should be ok on motorways IF your training on a bike that's powerful enough to at least hit the speed limit and give you a bit more in case you need to get out of a bad situation, so training for your DAS or bigger A licenses, with an instructor fair play 125s on a motorway just reminds me of people on 30mph mopeds doing duel carriageways, yeah you can do it but really?? (unless its the m1 at peak times then you would be stuck in traffic pushing your bike )

speedos are usually 5mph or so out tbh also, nice bike, petrol tank is weird as hell tho haha Cheers, its very rare it touch's 70 done it twice and that was downhill lol usually 60-65, i think its pretty accurate speedo wise (done a speed match with wifeys car) Petrol tank is odd to figure out how much fuel you have left, but the bike is comfy as hell to ride

so a learner car coming down the slip road isnt checking his right so im guessing he hasnt seen me (not slowing at all either ) and is about to pull out into my bike, i give him a short beep on the horn just to get his attention and moved out of his path , I give a friendly hand up just to show im not been a dick (im a learner to we all do daft shit sometimes) anywho he is not the nob, his driving instructor waving his fist and ranting at me is.... i slowed down enough to flip the prick off the went on my way lol. Felt sorry for the guy driving i was embarrassed for him

cool, never seen that in my neck of the woods (sunderland) would have to try it if i do ever see it

i thought wtf when i saw this on bbc news this morning and then saw only for cars. Me on motorway after just my cbt would have been suicide in all honesty lol

But, Sunderland. If they don't someone else will have a go. Moar ground anchors and chains will defeat them. Do they still have all the "secondhand" shops on Hilton Rd? When we had stuff nicked in the morning you could always buy it back from there in the afternoon! Once caught one chavvy little shit as he got stuck halfway through the downstair's toilet window. yeah they do mate lol, im from middlesbrough originally so you think i'd have been expecting this lol

Dogs got loads of praise and treats lol Think im just gonna bring it in the house on a night now, will be a pain getting it in but least i know if they break in the house they will have 2 9stone balls of fluff and teeth to contend with Just dont get why they would try and steal my bike lol they could run faster XD. Hoping it wasnt my new neighbours, the lass is canny but her boyfriend and his "friends" seem right dodgy, seems odd how they have got over the wall (coverd in glass cept on the neighbours side) tried to cut through the gate padlock/failed so smashed the gate to escape not even touched my bike chains.
