-
I've seen one near me absolutely flying along it's more than an electric bike as I'm not sure he has pedals....no lights all in black and no helmet....the plod don't seem to care about these scooters on the road or pavement even though they aren't allowed
-
Nice one what bike have you got ?not long after mine I crashed and broke my arm ! Have seen it as a learning experience though!

Hi guys what are the parts I need to cover the side sections of the bike and what is the best place to get them from on a budget...cheers

New standard for your helmet
Blackholesun replied to Bender's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Thanks for the tip I'd never even heard of sharp rating so I checked my current one and it had a pitiful 2 stars ! So just bought a new one that has a 5 star rating for a reasonable £60 For my daily work commute which rarely sees me above 30mph -

The one I have from ghost bikes size M fits just perfectly and is nice and snug -
New standard for your helmet
Blackholesun replied to Bender's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Hi everyone....is there any reason to buy a £400 helmet compared to a £30 helmet as apart from the weight both seem to have the required ec seal of approval safety wise?I recall on my CBT being told not to but recently I was told my helmet is shit -
Hi all took my bike for a second opinion and seems all is totally fine...I wasted over £200 but it's a lesson learnt....thanks for all your advice

i got an email with a cheap offer for a winter check from my local yamaha dealer so i thought why not...been riding around just fine (except for my small crash!) anyway put it in and somewhat surpringly was told the knocking sound is either the cam chain tensioner or the engine is gonna seize up....was a surprise
-
not yet next week some time
-
thanks for all the tips...yes i'm confused a bit from what the dealership told me...will give the videos a go...
-
Tbh I never thought much of the sound as it's my 1st bike I sort of just assumed as it's a small engine that's what it's meant to sound like! When I'm riding it it sounds fine to me !
-
thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply due to the size i've uploaded to youtube on this link hopefully if anyone would mind taken a look and telling me what they think cheers
-
Thanks I'm going to try to record a video of the engine running later and post it here if it works and see what you all think!
-
Yes I'm not very savvy when it comes to mechanical stuff..my skills in life lay elsewhere!Anyway yes if this tensioner doesn't work or stop the rattle according to them he said it'll need a complete engine rebuild..is this hyperbole on their part or a likely scenario?
-
Cheers currently looking at my Haynes manual under rattling cam chains!
-
Looking on the DVLA website the mot history only goes back as far 2019 so I'm guessing it was off road for ages before then
-
Ok will go back...only took it to yamaha as they offered a so called winter check for a decent price so took it up but then spooked me...would it have passed mot in Sept with these issues ?
-
Well it passed !
-
He also said the engine could seize up..maybe it was a tactic but it worked
-
I have a manual but when he said they wouldn't test ride it I thought I'm just gonna pay up and hope !
-
I wouldn't necessarily want this one just another 125
