    depending on when u passed your test in a car that covers you for riding a moped as well so no need to do cbt for a 50 but only if you have full car licence before anyone jumps in lol

    if you havent found any big amounts of alloy swarf then you need t o check things out as it means it could still be laying in the bottom of the engine and also in the alternator case and clutch case.i would be taking both off to check all is clean and ok in there

    sprockets shouldnt make that much difference if its not revving into the red line in each gear its not imported from usa or japan is it as they had restrictors built into cdi box check out the numbers on the side of the cdi and if it has 2 plugs both with 4 pins in then i have one here also have the fuse panel that goes over handlebars and coils plus few odd brackets

    can often make more profit from stripping them nd selling for spares than you can from restoring them if you are on about everything being correct part from correct year

    change the gearbox oil as its likely to be full of water and doing the bearings no good apart from that just check it over check front brake fluid just in case water did get in check 2 stroke tank make sure no water in the oil there

    dont forget you can always take pictures as well during the dismantleing process so when its time to put it back together you have got them a reference if you are not to sure how a part fits

    have you checked the condition of the bobbins on the brake discs if there are any ?

    as mega said you have the very top nut for holding top yoke in place just below the top yoke there is a normally round nut with 4 or 6 slots cut into it so get front end up in the air and see if you have got any forward and backwards movement if you have you can carefully move the nut under top yoke with screwdriver and a gentle tap

    bike only 6 months old dont even touch it get dealer to sort it out under waranty thats why you buy brand new so any problems like this get sorted

    the gt is known for being a nightmare to release the shaft but once you hae done one or two you get the hang of them

    the problem with those log book loans is the owner keeps hold of the complete v5 doesnt hand the loan company anything and they dont show up on hpi check either
  16. eastanglianbiker
    well done
  17. eastanglianbiker
    yes use red rubber grease as it lubricates the seals as well.While you have got the seals out make sure the groove they sit in is cleaned out of all old crud and muck i use something with a fine point on it to make sure i get everything out use tissue to catch it in if needs be and once finished cleaning make sure u get all residue dust out
  18. eastanglianbiker
    find out why it is only got the green slip as it normally means the seller has only just bought the car/bike and new v5 hasnt turned up in their name or they are trading and not giving details to person they are buying from,hpi check should show up any problems
  19. eastanglianbiker
    has this died and gone to the scrapyard in the sky ?
  20. eastanglianbiker
    they just have the one main fuse on them as well i think check it is tight in its holder and the wires are in good condition where the fuse holder is crimped onto the wires
  21. eastanglianbiker
    if you are planning on selling the bike in a few months time hen serious consideration to welding it up would be my first thought as a few quid on welding is a lot less than a new pipe which wont increase value of bike by the amount the pipe cost you
  22. eastanglianbiker
    if you are still going to hardtail it is it not a bit pointless removing tabs and brackets untill you know where you are going to cut the frame as all the bits you cut off now might come off when you remove rear of frame anyway
  23. eastanglianbiker
    did you replace the small vaccum hose on the fuel tap and also make sure you havent pulled it off the inlet stub as it sounds like the fuel tap isnt opening
  24. eastanglianbiker
    indicators were never that good when the bikes were almost new due to being 6volt system mine used to stop flashing if i had the headlight on and the revs dropped to tickover
  25. eastanglianbiker
    instead of just trying to weld the holes closed which wont work it will just make them bigger if not very carefull use small plates of steel and tack onto the good metal futher down the pipe each side then dress it onto the pipe as you slowly weld it up worked on my 750 honda and ended up putting over 9 patches on that set of pipes
