  1. well I know for a fact I won't be able to align them wheels using markers on the frame. I'll give it a go tomorrow with tape measure... any tips How can I balance the bike in the air? as at the moment I'm leaving it on stand fitted to the bike I have none of them fancy bike stands and another one.. how close it has to be to pass MOT... I've got a deadline for retest for Monday after work so would just like to pass it till it's free (2 weeks free retest) and then take it to the garage and get somebody who knows what he's doing to have a go... It probably is like you said loosen one bolt.. push this way and tight it back up for somebody who knows what he's doing it took me good 15 min to figure out which way I need to move the wheel once it was loose to get it in line.. but then like I said... the chain beginning to be an issue as I need to pull the wheel too far and chain getting to tight.
  2. ok so front seal is sorted.. I got myself a brand new set of forks fitted... but for the alignment I'm still struggling. I've checked it lossen the wheel tried to get it aligned but to do so my chain would have to be really tight and when looking on the frame marks for the other side of the wheel is about 2-3 marks difference. If the frame is bent is it even possible to fix it in any way. if so what could be the cost of it?
  3. I bought my ybr couple of months back and after last weeks MOT I've been notified about couple of issues with it.. some described in my other topic... but also as an advice I've been told I need to change my headlight as It has the HID kit installed and it has no "pattern" and I can get in trouble with police because of it? is that true? if so how hard is it to change it back and what other option do I have apart from standard ones as they are not the best quality for the night ride? and I need good night light due to riding it after 22:00 from work every day. I've seen on ebay there are some Xenon bulbs available but again those have different "fittings (H4) or is H4 the standard one?
  4. What about front forks swap? I've got the parts so should be labour only.. what price should I expect as in my eyes there is less work involved than in seal change... am I right?
  5. Hi all just a quick one... couple of months back I purchased 2009 YBR125. Bike is in OK condition but my happiness came to an end when I wen't with it for MOT last Monday and been told that for seal need replacing and I have wheel alignment of chart and chain to tight... with the seal I decided to change the whole forks as there were marks on the old ones like somebody was trying to hammer them or something...(how much should I expect to be charged to get them replaced??) and second question is wheel alignment something I can fix on my own and could it partially sort the chain issue? if so if any one of you got any videos or txt tutorial I would be ever so grateful
  6. petrol price these days....!!! F***CK IT big time
  7. silly question... how often you guys reckon you have to buy new chain? how many miles you do one one from new?
  8. would you say i could use them inner gloves as winter ones (not connected when worm) connected during chilly mornings and nights and put something over the top during the colder months?
  9. looks interesting... but do you have to buy a size bigger gloves to use inner gloves inside? or will they fit nicely in my standard size?
  10. hi there... just was thinking about buying them.. but don't really know how they work .. if they work... and how do them affect battery life?
  11. has anybody tried to use airbrush to paint anything? i had a can of grey primer (don't know what primer is it) and it just blocked my airbrush... i think the paint was too thick.. i was thinking about painting my from black to some unusual green orange colour so it's stands out...
  12. hi... yesterday when i finished my shift 10pm on the way home a had unpleasant situation.. it was raining... not very strong but it was wet... and when approaching one of the roundabouts my back wheel started to slide all over the place... and here is my question... is it worth buying new set of wider tyres and will i help.. and if yes what tyres are the best ?
  13. i've seen similar in my local Lidl couple weeks go... would have to pay bit more for a set like yours
  14. ok so that's my dvla question answered ... what about painting itself>? any guides ? links etc?
