My mate does 170 mph in Tesco's car park every Thursday afternoon, and he's never got caught. big ass car park?! and bike

how likly is it to pass an unmarked cop when ur actually breaking the law? bad luck was my point (tho as he already knowns he deserves punishment)

thats shit luck m8, unmarked cars are just nasty. i know people that ride 150+ on single carriage ways for years and never been caught or had an accident.

got breakdown cover? they can have a look and test battery and fuse's. i dont know much about electrics but i do know breakdown cover means they can take it home for you

I also work mon-fri in smart shirt&trousers and my commute takes bout 20mins. I wear my clothes under textiles (gortex) in bad weather so they stay dry and under a leather jacket and mesh type material summer trousers on sunny days. i have brought my clothes 1 size to big, 54 when im a 52, so i can comfortably fit clothes under bike gear. i think changing at work will make ur 15 minute jurney turn into a 25min jurney, and who wouldnt rather stay in bed 10mins?!

PROBLEM RETURNED But... i am sure it is carb icing as 'pro fst' makes the bike run perfect. i have found the below links on the subject (just incase anyone wants the answer to carb icing) http://www.triumphrat.net/hinckley-clas ... ing-2.html http://www.thunderace.host.sk/thunderac ... arbfreeze/

Hi all, Im planning on going throught France and spain in April. I have had my full license for 1 and a half years. is there a law in either of those countries that means i have to go 90kph bcz i have had license less than 2 years? i have also heard the french require a hi-vis and triangle, but i believe its not required with a motorbike? is there anyother laws i need to consider?

PROBLEM FIXED Thanks for all the suggestions & help. the bike really got worst in the last few days, stalling while riding, so i took it into the yamaha dealer and left it with thyem for the day. it was a filthy fuel filter/carbs that was the problem and bike now runs smooth as did cost me £132 , but atleast i wont stall infront of oncoming traffic now

good idea, think i should go for the Iridium plugs? or if its the carbs will it ruin these plugs just the same?!

well this morning when i started it up i realised that it was kicking out quite alot of smoke so it must be running lean. weather is very foggy today so maybe made it show up more. also i was keeping the revs high and it felt like it was close to juttering when doing 70 in a straight line. i did stop at a junction today on the way to work and it was pretty juttery pulling away. would you say thats enuf proof that i need someone to check out the plugs and the carbs?

nope, problem just popped up and became more frequent. well i suppose i only had the bike for 1 month then i put the can on then it was about 1-2 months after that that problem showed up. its an after market can, i took off the stock.

are you saying if i simply adjust the idle mix it will solve my problem? i will test the throttle/rev responce on way home. it has had dynojet (proper job done) with previous owner, since then i have changed the exhaust (and not adjusted anything else) and im guessing airfilter was changed in last service. ------ to: caretaker i ragged it into work as suggested, in 3rd gear (5 speed) speeds between 70mph (revs 5.5k)-125mph (revs 10.5k), and i didnt get any juttering, but i also didnt need 2 stop at any junctions today as it was clear and only green lights. generally did feel better at lower speeds tho.

some good points there thanks. plugs where pretty white and not in gr8 nick. can u suggest a new set of plugs to use (i think the garage i use puts cheap plugs in)? what are the super long life ones called and are they worth it? it does give the feel of wrong mix from the carbs (giving it more throttle when it splutters doesnt help much, pulling clutch works better)

http://www.thunderace.host.sk/thunderac ... owto/exup/ i think those things will have been done its it last service, the plugs where a mess but where changed and should be a problem with them after 2 months?
