Cheers! Brilliant! I cant wait. Fingers crossed i get in! Been my dream for as long as i can remember.

Ah right! Cheers for all the replies fellas!

So basically the down gear is to engage the gear system? Im gonna have a go of a mates crosser an see wha its like! Im waitin on hearin back from the Army about my application so i dont know wether im gettin the bike yet

As a provisional rider on a CBT, can i ride a geared bike as ive just got a majorly cheap insurance quote for the brand new Yamaha WR125X, an am wonderin if am gonna have to pay for another CBT? It says on the certificate for 'Scooters & Motor Bycicles'. Any ideas? Edit to Add: Never mind! Just had a closer look at the Certificate and it is for motorbikes! :D I am now planning my route to purchasing my Yamaha Am i right in thinking gears on a motorbike are the same principle as gears on a car? And could someone explain the gears please

Cheers for tha, doesnt seem to be too much of a price effort so will do that then sell it. Thanks!

Any idea of a price range then? I dont want to fork out another £100 or so for it, ive spent far too much on it already an i think its time for it to go.

Would it cost more to simply replace the barrel and housing?

Theres no oil, and all scratches down the barrel and barrel housing?

The engine has actually seized Must have a dodgy wire as me oil light never lit up but normally does! Does it have to be replaced or can i lube it up and just refit?

Cheers, will try that tomorrow

Yeah about 3 quarters of a tank! Im not sure! How can i tell? Yes it turns over, it speeds up at times an just seems like its waiting to kick in but just doesnt!

Update: Not the spark plug, just disconnected it and tried starting to scooter with the plug next to a metal object. A rather fine spark to be honest.

Its a peugeot trekker 100, lights dont work unless the engine is runnin. A little red light that flashes when its turned off still flashed though!

Riding home from a friends last night, about a 10/15 mile ride. Just cruising around 40mph, and it just decides to cut out. No pop, no snap, no crackle, nothing. Was as if it had been turned off. Then it wouldnt start! I had a new piston and barrel kit installed about 3 weeks ago, was told to keep under 40 for the first 500 miles which i gladly did. Gone about 700/800 miles now so i resumed going above 40 were necessary/safe to do so. Just weird the way it cut out and wouldnt start. Ended up pushing it home and stopped by police twice. Ive had enough problems so if its something big, its getting broke and sold for spares. If its something small ill have a go myself, and if i can fix it, ill keep it. If not, again, getting broke for spares Someone please tell me its something small, i dont want to have to see my baby go away after all ive put into it!

Kind of ironic tbh St Georges Day & Birmingham
