  1. I have only owned 4 bikes so far, my first i thought was a gilera but it was a Garelli after looking on google for pics, second was a 1978 Yamaha YB100, 3rd is Xena and last but not least Bridget The garelli (courtesy of google) The YB100 (courtesy of google)
  2. I only had 1 claim that was 12 years ago, got rear ended whilst sat at traffic lights, in short driver claimed liability and car written off got paid out within 2 weeks, bought the car for £300 ins' paid out £900 and i got to keep the car sold off bits i could which raised another £500 and then scrapped it and got another £150, had the car for less than a month too
  3. Looks great [mention]Westbeef[/mention] , hope you have some great rides with her/him
  4. Some useful reading and PTFE is Teflon https://www.venhill.co.uk/news/teflon-cables-for-motorcycles-guide/
  5. [mention]jafman[/mention] I think you will be okay using lubricants, i can't see the chinese manufacturers using high end products like teflon coated cables
  6. thank you , will take a nosey at those. A selection of them here https://www.toolstation.com/automotive/lubricants-sprays/c264
  7. Graphite,silicone and PTFE lubricants are also an option for brake and clutch cables, some have a straw that fits in the nozzle for tight hard to reach areas just a few squirts and away you go
  8. To be fair though it does state it will last for upto 2 years, if it is replaced after 18 months or so as regular maintanence, then there should be no issues, as in [mention]Stu[/mention] case the sealant was in for a good few years by the sounds of it, and was well past it's best
  9. It never repaired my puncture so I'll never be using that stuff again I did use something similar for a car i had, never did get the tyre changed it worked for at least two years

    Chain Lubricant

    I think i use that well is smells of bananas anyway, i usually give it a few of good coats and literally have it dripping
  11. Hi Mate It is worth checking the front sprocket nut as these are often secured with a washer that bends over and the shaft is splined. Just thinking that if the nut did spin loose it could be a disaster. Hopefully I am wrong ! Cheers Ian Not the front sprocket already checked the main possibilities not to worry if it's something crucial i'm sure i will soon find out
  12. i will get something up when i get the chance and i will have to try and source some pictures from the web as i only took a couple of photos myself
  13. Bridget is all back together now, just finished the last few jobs, cleaning and refitting the front sprocket cover and the chain guard, and i only have a couple of bits left over , one is a locking washer but for a splined bolt or something and a little plastic bung no idea where that goes so overall pretty happy, she just needs a good clean and polish now
  14. the bottle was probably left as in case of emergency if you happen to come across him again Great story
  15. Massive no from me! They can corrode alloy! So much so I have had to replace a wheel because of the stuff What about in tubed tyres as it's not in direct contact with any metal unless you get a puncture?.
  16. Another alternative https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-equipment/breakdown-essentials/slime-smart-tyre-repair-kit-813011.html
  17. Leave them out tonight where they can be seen and they will have vanished by morning
  18. If they're not registered to you and you want to get rid give them to the pikeys
  19. Done Bridgets starter, this is what it looked like when i first took it apart to do a temp fix All done now with the new Brush set Now back on Bridget and working great, also new sparkplug fitted and brakes tweeked a bit more while i had the spanners out
  20. [mention]fastbob[/mention] I feel your misery as do most on here, I am just hoping that the rest of year will be great to make up for this sh1te we're having now
  21. Get some proper leather cleaner and give them a good scrub, then apply some moisturising cream, if you have a fabric liner use some febreeze after a clean with a damp cloth
  22. dynax

    Happy birthday

    Happy Birthday Have a good one
  23. It might be worthwhile putting the battery on a conditioning charge if you have a suitable charger
  24. I agree but also a thank you from OP's would at least acknowledge the effort
