Does it not require a plug though? 12 volt and comes with crocodile clips and cig lighter plug my bike doesnt have a crocodile to clip the wires to and no ciggy lighter

Most deffo mate,,, was at Hartside on Saturday and plenty of bikers up there... Great weather, great roads... life doesnt get much better than that Squires is another one just off the A1 in Yorks i believe, Beeford is another one and willigham woods

its done nowt but rain here all day so glad i had a rideout yesterday its good you lot had fun and a decent pub lunch goes down a treat dunnit

have heard of alighting coil but not for indicators... a lighting coil is for a headlight and tailight on some 6v bikes... Indicators wont need a lighting coil at all... as has been said just a relay or flashier unit

listening to "kissing you goodbye - The Pierces

Well done kidda.... one more step to go and jobs a goodun

Well done folks.... i was lucky i just had to cut the Ls off my bike and away i went... Still havent been on the motorways yet as it still hasnt really sunk in.... Have fun

I am looking for someone who knows how to set carbs up localish to me.. I refuse to pay Westgate Road prices as they are bloody expensive and besides probs couldnt afford em anyway.. If theres anyone who is good at this kinda thing and wouldnt mind setting mine up in exchange for a few beer tokens i would appreciate it

Well i had a leak where the Can meets the downpipes and i used Holts Firegum... a few dollops spread around the joint, wang the pipe on, tighten up and started engine... no leaks and jobs a goodun... you can remove any excess straight away before it hardens with a damp cloth or sponge...

you can use ur old paper license when going for your test but you need to take a passport with you as additional proof... after you pass your test the test centre wont be able to send away your license for upgrading though and you will have to do that yourself with the necessary form from the postie or you maybe able to download one

rather you than me over there lol... also they not arf talk wierd dont they....

funnily the rear has a braided line already but the fronts are still rubber... will check out the cost of braided lones for the front... thanks for the input lads

Colin yeah i know but these are hard with not alot of stoppin power... i think i will just replace them and at least i know they are new... If i can get the bleed nipples slackened i will replace the fluid as well... What pads would you recommend as the choice is huge out there... I have read somewhere HH sintered pads are best i think... what would you lads use?

better explanation of hard??... lol.... ok only other way to explain it would be that it feels like the pads are down to metal but they are not... theres very little squeezability in the lever...

Ok the front and rear brakes do work okish but not as well as they should... When the lever is pulled the pads have a 'hard' feel to them.. Would you change the pads all round ( still plenty of meat on em) or replace the fluid all round or maybe both?.. Can pads go 'off' if the bike has been standing for some time?... thanks lads

2 strokes do not sound horrible at all... however the Yam YZF-R is a 4 stroke not a 2 stroke.... you would be better off gettng a cheaper second hand 125 and lose very little on resale if you do your tests....

i thought it was utter shite to be honest.... tried a couple of episodes but nah would rather watch golf and i hate golf

ok thanks fella... gotta work out how to get into em first lol... not used to faired bikes as never had one before

choke cable is good EAB and it has K+Ns on it

As you will know i have a CBR600 and when its warmed up the idle is very erratic, it smells like its running rich and also its a cow to start when hot.... Now as i know nowt about 4 strokes any advice on setting carbs up so the mixture is right and also getting the other problems sorted will be muchly apprecaited

thankee kindly gents... much appreciated

Ok firstly anyone know the settings for the petcock?... is it the old way of ON/OFF/RES or the newer way of ON/RES/PRIME?...and which way is which please as theres bugga all marked on the petcock... Secondly the clutch when not engaged and engine aidling is very clattery and noisy... increse the revs abit or pull clutch lever and it goes away.... is this a common fault or a sign of impending doom? thanks

Found out why the steering was heavy.. The front tyre only had 8lb in it it should be 36lb but as i dont have a footpump had to use one off a mountain bike so my arm was killin me by the time i blew it up to near enough

My new ride

erm yeah i just found the folding point they are abit stiff and when they are folded back they dont stay there but least i might be able to work em in abit
