Like a skateboard for your bike! Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me...

Should have got a genuine BMW one with the bike! Take it back and tell them to fit it..

Take the plug out (when's it's cool enough!) And see what it's like. If it's running too lean the plug will let you know .

Sounds good, glad it's sorted, makes me want a project bike now!

That's why I thought the hole looked odd. Looks like it will let too much air through.. See if you can adjust the carb to make the slider go down more. Looks quite open in the video.

Yeah that's what I meant, the hole is outwards.. Anyway, with the filter off, try putting you hand over the carb to choke it more, see if that's starts.

Google image search I found this: http://www.yellow13bikebreakers.co.uk/ekmps/shops/yellow13bb/images/yamaha-sr125-carburettor-%5B3%5D-10340-p.jpg No hole. So was right the first time

That big hole looks odd. Does it have the hole in the slider both sides? Can you turn in 180degrees?

Is that how it came apart? All you needed to do was move the little clip one notch towards the pointy end of the needle! Take the air filter off, put it all back together and look inside the end of the carb. Make sure when you twist the throttle the needle and silver part move up and down.

You done something wrong! Put it back as it was and try again. Moving the needle one notch won't kill a bike.

Join the forum, chat with fellow bikers, share stories, don't just use the place to share your video links.. that's the best way to get loads of negative comments and downvotes

6 months?? No way, you could have it amputated and a wooden pirate leg fitted in less time! Could even train the parrot to sit on your shoulder and say pirate stuff in less time..

It would be really easy to setup a webcam that watches a road and every time it sees a car going > 1mph over the speed limit it posts a 10mb video to the police demanding that they do something about it. Leave it running a few months, then submit a fredom of information request requesting how many of the reported incidents were investigated and how many lead to action being taken... The results would make the front page of all the tabloids!

They have no idea how many videos they are going to get sent from irate drivers... There is no way they have the IT infrastructure in place to handle the volumes of reports, especially considering many members of the public won't have a clue how to edit the videos, so they will get sent huge files with maybe just a few seconds if "interesting" footage, much of which won't be useable or won't actually show any laws being broken. But let them carry on and learn the hard way that you can't cut the policing budget and get the public to do the job for free...

I have fun with the ones who call up to "talk about my recent accident as they can get me a significant payout" I let them speak, then when they ask "were you injured" I say "oh yes, very seriously". This gets them excited and they blurt out a load of other nonsense before finally asking "what was the nature of your injuries?" To which I reply, " oh well it's very sad, they took me to hospital, thought I would be ok but then sadly I died"... Then I either just go silent, or play along some more to see how much longer they want to waste talking to a dead person.

Haha I keep getting adverts for those! They look cool but I'm not a "ring man"

Yellow and red look like they might be the backlight wires. Hard to tell from the pics.

Carbs at an angle when mounted to the bike.. Floats not floating enough? Need to bend the little tab a bit to make them close the valve more?

Well I had to.. all those little gears just made it too irresistible.. and they all move when it spins.. Cheap Chinese engineering at its best.

KTM should stick to enduro and MX bikes. All the road bikes look like Frankenstein creations.

Yep, no inheritance tax on that. Take the cash and buy more bikes! Edit: actually, I'd rent it out, make sure she has a will in place, and in 7+ years it will have doubled in value and generated a nice rental income.

It won't be a spike. More likely the +ve supply you hooked it to isnt a good one. Best way to get a charger working is to hook up a relay. That way you can take power directly from the battery.

It's still under warranty right? So take it back! Its their job to figure out what's wrong, not yours.

Are you sure it was the fuse box you connected to? Not the reg/rec?
