    your cbt still needs to be in force otherwise you are not legal to be on the road so couldnt do the road riding of mod2
  5. eastanglianbiker
    if its been nearly 2 years maybe he should check his cbt as well as his theory paperwork

    have a look in wickes as well they seem to have some good deals at times
  8. eastanglianbiker
    yes as its trying to start on 1 cylinder only

    ht lead shorting out to the frame will cause the problem when testing it outside the engine for a spark you might be twisting it just enough to make it work and then not once back into the correct place also check the condition of where the lead screws into the cap as that can get corroded

    has each cylinder got it own coil then i thought they were single coil so it could be the coil is knackered swap them over and see what happenssee if it t hen runs on the front and not the back you know its had it
  11. eastanglianbiker
    one possible reason could be a dodgy starter motor drawing all the current away from the cdi and the longer you have button pressed the longer it keeps the spark killed for,but once it is running is it now running on both cylinders or still only the rear one,also when did it last have fresh petrol in it ?

    done my time of being cold years ago before half the members on here were old enough to ride a 2 wheeled pushbike let alone a motorbike
  13. eastanglianbiker
    because it is designed for a 320mm disc and yours is only 300mm making it 20mm smaller making it less contact surface area
  14. eastanglianbiker
    as tango says the spacing and offset will be different as you calliper has no rear pistons and even if it did work to lose 10mm off the braking area is a huge amount it wold mean only half the surface area would be in use of the pad or maybe less so got to agree dont bother it would be more hassle than its worth if it fitted at all

    bob they are not air voids.......................theya are custom made one offs making them worth fortunes as they are the only ones like it

    depends on condition mileage what it needs for the mot after all it could be £20 or it could be £250 to get it through the mot and same goes for resale value depends what new on it mileage and such like ive seen tatty ones go for 750 and mint ones for 2 grand so impossible to guess a price
  19. eastanglianbiker
    normally the mixture screw you would screw in untill you feel it tighten up then turn it out about 1 1/2 turns is rough setting to what it should run and then can be fine tuned from there to get it right,have you had the carb apart at all?if so have you checked the jets are all clear and the float height is correct?but its still sounding like it could be either vacum problem or compression problem on the front cylinder
  20. eastanglianbiker
    its time to strip the carb check it is all clean and the jets are clear then set it back to basic factory settings and see if the bike runs then but it could also be the vacuum fuel pump playing up due to a air leak or something
  21. eastanglianbiker
    dont forget easter is early t his year last weekend in march
  22. eastanglianbiker
    trouble is with pay and display where can you display a ticket on a bike thats safe other users of the car park will be able to walk up to the bike take the ticket and use it in or on what ever they are driving/riding so you get the parking ticket and they park for free thats one good reason bikes should be free to park
  23. eastanglianbiker
    wrap some gaffer tape or insulating tape round it to see if that helps but to be fair the plug should still be getting wet one way to see if the rubber has split right through is start the bike up and spray a bit of wd40 at the inlet rubber if the revs increase then its leaking
  24. eastanglianbiker
    if it has got a fuel pump you should hear it working for a few seconds as you turn the ign on and then as you turn the engine over on the start button......forget that ive just seen its vacuum operated i assume you have all the vacuum pipes onto it correctly?
  25. eastanglianbiker
    that might be an overflow hose going down under the engine to remove any over flow of petrol away from hot engine the 2 pipes you can see are the correct ones to the fuel tap and you cant get t hem round the wrong way normally due to being different sizes have you checked the fuel pump is working correctly and i think you need to check compression in case one of the valves have closed up on front cylinder head
