and the classifieds run for longer then the normal auction ads as well

often its at 99p and then loads of money for the postage so it costs them nothing to list it and only tiny sellers fee at the end as you can list anything apart from cars/bikes now with 99pence starting bid free of charge,but yep they are tossers when they dont sent the stuff out
-
dont forget if the petseal turns into gel it can gum the lot up so be careful
-
its a bit of both it helps stop t he bars folding if you hit a pot hole and end up with ur weight being on them personally i dont see a problem with it correct solution if you dont like it is but a set of renthals that dont need t he brace as the tube will be thicker salled

wipe a very light smear of grease round them to lubricate them might help them go back on nicely but only a very light smear

pull the plug caps off make sure the wells are not full of water its got to be something basic stopping it if you have got a spare plug then plug it into the cap rest it against the engine and turn it over see if it sparks
-
well the 2 orange lights are oil light which should be on when engine is not running and the other one is temperature warning,if it is turning over you havent flicked the kill switch by chance have you?but if it was running before you pressure washed it then you have got water into the electrics somewhere
-
is the other the side stand warning switch?,im not sure just guessing
-
ollie do the basic carb work first if you had serious problem of petrol getting into the oil you would have it rising well over the max line fairly quickly as stu said as the carb is easy t o remove pull it out and check float level and set the mixture to the basic setting as per manual also when you turn fuel tap into the off position make sure it is closing off properly
-
if it is forcing past the rings then its also washing the barrel which will mean premature wear of the rings/bore basic set for the carb ollie is turn mixture screw all the way in and then out 1 3/4 turns but as you start remember how many turns it is out as you wind it in for reference the further out it is the leaner it is running
-
go back and edit the title to include for sale poor rennie hasnt got a lot of hair left to pull out due to people not reading the big yellow bit at the top of the page

prevention is better than cure so getting it sorted sooner rather than later has got to be the beat way a night of inconvenience now or a week in hospital next week could be the end result
-
if the meds are not killing it off best thing to do is get back to doc tomorrow or call the nhs hotline to see what they say sounds like it could turn to pneumonia if not carefull
-
good chance that will hit number one next week
-
also give the float bowls a little tap as the floats might of stuck in the up position

you can always look at pattern sets on ebay like renthal bars

there are lots of older bikes that would lend themselves to the bobber/custom look depending on what you want and kind of money you wish to spend on buying it ther are plenty of projects on ebay that might be cheap enough to be a starting point as you will end up changing a lot of the bits already fitted to them

yep i heard about him this morning as well shame he was a much loved personality RIP Terry

i would of thought that these days with road tax being online it would flag up that mot had run out and dvla would or should then cancel road tax as the car/bike shouldnt be used on a public hghway without mot for which all the data is online but then we are talking about dvla actually doing something correct so maybe not
