ok, got theory over with, now to sort out DAS. not knowing much about the way to go on, a few questions. what do i do first, book lessons then book test or get date for test then book lessons. as I've been riding for a year now and feel very confident on my 125, should i risk having just a few lessons on a 500 (i can't find anyone up near me that does the all in one block lessons then test) or should i get as many lessons as i can afford (£25 per hour). your thoughts very welcome.

i bought some heated grips off ebay a few weeks ago, but when i came to fit them today (first chance since snow) the backing plate that holds the box onto the handle bars is missing off the control box. anyone any idea where i can get spares or how i would fix the box onto the handle bars. basically fitting a square box onto 1" bars. thanks

sorry if this has been covered in the past, did a search but nil turned up. i am a car driver as well as a biker. but not a mechanic,lol. i was wondering about car and bike oils. is it possible to use car engine oil for a bike? mine specifies 10/40 as does my car service book. also can i use a better grade oil than specified i.e 10/50 or 5/40 etc instead of a 10/40 as the book states. thanks.

i was filtering yesterday morning, about 10 mls an hour, very sunny day, lots of peeps moving over for me, then white van man saw me and blocked my way.lmao, i had to laugh as a few of the car drivers blasted their horns when they saw him move over.

awe, congrats mate, well done. i wish you the best in whatever you buy.

i agree, i had a yamaha yb100 many years ago and remember it doing 70 all day long.

got to agree with the guys. i can get 75 out of mine down hill with a tail wind,lol. seriously, i can cruise at 55-60mph on mine.

found the problem. a small tear in the carb diaphragm. now repaired and all tickety boo. i want to thank you guys for all the help. i have learned a bit more about the bike than i did last week, so worth it. still, can't pick bike up till tomorrow now as off to see wife in hospital.

it does indeed have a side stand cut out switch. i will mention it to the guys in the morning. (my wife broke her hand this morning, waiting for surgery, so bike is at the back of my mind at the mo)
