@Scrudge You can always tell if its a JIS screw by the little dimple on the head. You can get away with using a normal phillips screwdriver on them a lot of the time but will come across some screws that you will just chew the head up trying to get it off. The ones on a brake master cylinder come to mind, don't ask me how I know!

Because Tom asked me to!

Halfords Pro for me ( think it was called advanced when I bought my set ) for sockets and spanners. As has been said wait for a sale, they are rarely at full price for long. Other bits you just pick up as you need them I've found. For tools I don't have I usually go with a cheaper brand. If I break it then I figure I must use it enough thats its then worth investing in a "name" . As an example I've got a £5 mouse sander from tesco that I've had nearly 20 years. Still works for what little I use it for. Feel it would of been a waste of my money to of bought an all singing dancing version for more money. Welcome to the Forum

Happy Birthday!!!

Its a ZONTES ZT 125-U in the colour grey according to the number. With it being a Chinese bike you can probably find more parts fallen off it a bit further down the road

I've got it now. Blaming you! Better update my Norton antivirus before I catch anything from Stu and his dodgy laybys

My lunch view most days

Happy Birthday!!!

What bike is it? someone else on here may of had same bike with same issue. Do the lights/dash come on when you turn the key or is everything dead?

Sounds like you took the right actions for that occasion Animals are unpredictable. Next time you could do the exact same thing and it could be a completely different result.

Have you checked battery and fuses are ok?

@Ian Frog Don't want to get her mad. If I miss she'll really do a number on me!

There's a joke about @Stu and lay-bys in that sentence

My cat....again.... Second time this year she's walked over my head at silly o'clock in the morning. Also the second time she's sliced my ear open doing it 4am today...

Posh git with your fancy Dewalt stand!! Mine came from Aldi

One of these days she'll unfriend you

Happy Birthday!!

Welcome

Only one I can think of is a Gilera DNA but they stopped making them years ago. And it was basically just a scooter dressed up to look like a motorbike. Selling at well over a grand as well it seems. Definitely not worth it! https://www.theparking-motorcycle.co.uk/used-motorcycles/gilera-dna-125.html

Give this guy a call, have used him personally and can vouch for his work 0800 030 4103

@rennie could be onto something there. Definitely check chain slack, see if clutch cable is too tight as well

On it
