Can someone tell me if the cost of the theory test is set or does it vary?... reason is i seem to have been quoted way over the odds to take it at £45.. It says £31 everywhere i look

as i am 45 i am past borrowing my mams tupperware dishes and i am already confuddled at the thought of 4 carbs in bits an dhaving to mark how many turns etc per screw and jet

might give the carb cleaner a shot first as that doesnt involve strippin the buggers down...also i am not sure if you can remove the carbs singley or if its a job lot.. thanks lads appreciate it

When i get the GT550 running it will never tick over.. starts fiine and revs fine but for whatever reason just wont idle.. now i have read on here several times that when your bike has been standing for sometime crap can settle in the carbs etc... now it has 4 carbs so would cleaning them out be an easy job as i dont wanna take em off, strip em to clean em then fine out i cant balance em out when tryin to start it after reassembly.. what is involved in cleaning them?... is it jets out and blown through or float bowl off and make sure its devoid of gunge

i will give it a shot when i get time and see what happens,,, these 4 into 1s are aright pain to line up.. thanks for the advice folks

i cant tell to be honest as the noise off the one overrides the others and i cant get my hand around the pipes for the heat... i dont think they ar eall blowing to be honest as it only seems like the one but i cant be sure

there were no old gaskets in 3 of the 4 cylinders mate... the one that was there dropped out straight away

its a non standard Motad 4 into 1 system so its slightly different... howev4er i did use all the correct bits.. gaskets sleeves and finally clamps...

Now i have just replaced the copper gaskets on my Gt 550 and its still blowing like a hurricane what do you guys usually do as the clamps etc are all tight.. do you use assembley paste or guim gum etc?

commiserations Jenny but hey it just means you can get your bike gleaming for when you pass next time

aye when i was learning in the early 80s i went from my RS100 onto a mates 6 CYLINDER Honda Cbx 1000 and i a sure my arms were longer when i got off lol

turns out the battery is under the floor... so having located it i put the battery charger on, left it a while and then put the key in only to find the immobiliser is preventing it from starting and there is no master key with it...replacements cost a fortune

the seat lock is on the side of the scoot.. this lock pulls out and it like a long chain type thing... some form of security i spose... the batt cud be under the storage i spose as not looked underneath... the bloody seat lock doesnt work either lol

well i would but its asking for personal details lol...and i dont want to get hammered with crap.... thanks for taking time to look though i do appreciate it

well i will have a closer look in the morning when its light but i couldnt see anything... also couldnt find the fuel cap either

aye first place i looked mate and nowt there..just storage thats it...

Picked up on o these to zip about on while doing me test etc... now the battery is stone dead and i have no idea where it is on these whizzy scootery things... also does anyone know how the lock thingy works in the back of the bike

bensham gateshead here

i didnt see this mate but thanks for the link
