without a picture are you sure they are not overflow pipes?

i found it was best to just stop instead of substitute for something else that then needs kicking as t hey can become a habit and it seems can be harmful if used long term

im glad to say when i quit i was smoking 20 or more a day and one night still with an almost full packet i said to myself thats it ive quit and stopped threw the rest of the packet away and not touched one since

I use redex (just onnnnnnnneeeee shot) every fill up and it appears to have fixed my backfire issue so must be doing something

eating fewer beans helps that problem as well....................................oops you meant the bike back firing

well done i gave up just over 4 years ago but am still skint

Specially if you put this one in June (We could do a smaller meet in May) Then the weather should be getting warmer so we can all enjoy a beer in the evening on the coast!

Little mini Rally

depending on where you were going in june you have got the lion rally http://www.lionrally.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; im going down for the saturday afternoon/evening hopefully as ive been invited by the main dj working it

i was riding bikes before my kids came along and never stopped riding the oldest one is now 33 and youngest is 24,thats not to say t heir mum wanted me on the bike once kids were here but i always said to her i had the bikes before the kids and her and will still have them no matter what and its true we spilt many years ago now but i still got the bikes so im happy

aerocoat over near yarmouth are excellent i know lots of guys who are very happy with their work http://aerocoat.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

it might just be that you need new brake pads

Blimey another one !

She wasn't that old either , RIP

62 years old but cancer doesnt care how old the person is unfortunately

many times i have used block of wood and a soft mallet to work the casings open and if you look around them on some of the older 2 strokes they actually had indents in the crankcases which were pry points

R.I.P victoria wood

the abs light could be as easy fix or major it might just be the abs ring broken on front hub or the sensor gone or something far more hassle dont know if i would bother with it or not to be honest

nice one glad to hear you are still moving along with it all keep us informed of the progress

if the valves sound quiet it might be worth just going with carb balancing,im assuming all the plugs are also new

there has been a covering of snow in different places bob but all the roads seem clear you might come across a few harleys on the road today as there is a national meet up in nottingham as well

well done give yourself a pat on the back for getting on and doing it,good luck with the rest and hope its the only time you need to do repairs like this

whats the mileage and have you checked condition of air filter as well?

Pro-tip when you change the chains and sprocket. Get the nut off the front sprocket WHILE the chain is still in one piece. Put it in gear and get someone to hold the rear brake. Otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

Sounds like you did it without doing that. Also use a breaker bar rather than the the socket driver. You will be able to get more leverage that way and you will need it. Front sprockets are put on at a high torque setting.

that setting is called FT..................in other words f***ing tight

google local engineering shops and then either email or ring them

I would love a new bike but i can't afford one with you know.. BUYING A HOUSE ! maybe in a couple years. I could probably if i was willing to ride it every day to work.. but nah, 6am rides in the dark cold winter not to appealing.

maybe you can if you allow a little extra on the mortgage,it would mean you have cash to buy something

as above start with the basics like tyre condition and pressure chain condition and tension adjust and lube,oil level,as you dont say what bike it is then if water cooled check coolant level as well

take the stone out of the tyre tread
