That's not too bad I suppose. I thought worksop was further out.

Damn, you're a bit too far out for you to just nip around and show me then. I just can't believe that to change a bulb I have to removed the whol rear unit to get to it.

Hey Slugworth. I'm trying to sort the bulb out but can't get at the bloody thing. I have to get at it from under the rear mudguard but because of the rear wheel I can't get screwdrivers or spanners at it. Any idea if it's easier than it seems on a Suzuki Marauder? Where in Notts are you by the way?

Cheers guys. It seems to be one thing after another. It's been running fine and starting well even when it's been stood in the cold and nearly snow/rain crap that's been falling. The rear light is now not working and neither is the indicator notification light on the handlebars. I was too busy to sort it today so tomorrow I intend on going through the Haynes manual and sorting as much out as i can on the bike.

Oh no this was after half an hour of riding countryish lanes and the the choke was off when I couldn't start it. It just didn't seem to want to spark up. I might change the spark plug and battery anyway as it's a ten year old bike and I hve no record of when they were last changed.

Hi, I'm new to biking, I'm going to have to stop saying that one day, and crap with mechanics etc. Since saturday I've stalled the bike twice and then ben unable to start the bike again with the electric starter. I ride the suzuki marauder 125cc which has a choke and all that so I'm wondering, is it because I've flooded the engine. I seem to remember that term being used a lot in my youth when messing around with my parents cars and being told not to do certain things as 'That'll flood the engine' and that was cars with chokes. If so, then what's the best way of getting the bike started again. Today I had to jump start it, never done it in a car and didn't know if it was possible on a bike but it would appear it is as it started on my second attempt with a bit more speed.

Well it's a bit too short notice now as I've got to head off with the kids soon. Maybe next week, thursdays are good for me unless I have to work.

I can do a couple of hours and need experience as I only passed my CBT on friday. Where would you fancy going and at what time? I'd prefer a 10am to 12pm time.

Hi, I have to let my clutch out really far before it bites which means there's not much more movement before it's fully out which means when I set off from a stop I either stall or suddenly jump forward. I've only just passed my CBT and it's all new to me but I'm sure it's the lack of range that's causing this rather than my lack of skill. It's a Suziki Marauder, 10 years old. Is there anything I can do?
