RideWithStyles

Thanks Gero! added in wise words i dont have time to add in myself. first of buy on condition and history- doesn't have to be dealer, specialist or owt fancy. but if local ask the service mech what they needed to do to it, slip um £20 for honest answer cos mostly those poor mofos aint paid enough

Hi and welcome. bcars and bikes are totally different beasts! yes for a gauge of bikes but you really need to research what you ACTUALLY REQUIRE for you, not just be biggest lump you can fit your arse on! body dimensions, skill matter, your lifestyle rather than lust for!!!! just to be clear they hope the bike they get in doesnt have a problem so don't expect them to actually know to fix a bike, they get outside help for that...

so funny enough it did it work but you just need to slightly modify it...

Same as others really, depends on what your body points are doing/contact with the bike or person at any time. long back and short arms holding onto a rear grab rail will arch you backwards strain shoulders and front chest all the while not much support or balance for acceleration but might help abot with braking as to not slamming into the rider. if its front grab then youll be curving your back forwards, ok for acceleration but for braking your gonna be digging/clanging helmets (depending on the riders height). if think like this you'll notice differnt body make ups have differnt needs depending on the bike and its design. if you have short arms but feel you need to hold on in front then getting the rider to wear pillion handle strap is great for this. If the bike has a top box/a sissy bar/back rest that is great for the pillion to rest and get good ground points, you can use your legs to gently push and use the box as a main support point. plus helmets can be stored when out and about...worth every penny.

correct as fuel (ethanol higher now) will just eat the sealants you try. You could try as a temporary measure might be to use fibre glass, resin and filler, it might work?

i call total BS on the claims of real range and charging! half the range as best and double the time. wish they'd stop claiming mathematical models of just battery and a motor rather than actual real world. you could tour but there just plastic rather than rubber so you'd probably spend more time in an ambulance, copies of the old metz z6s / terrible dunlop 214s.

Welcome. sorry for your loss and not riding anymore but great to see that you've found something new and skills.

Take the db reducing quote with a truck load of salt with those type of products, now without a true accurate measurement of their claim it will only dampen out a very narrow and specific region of frequency while poorer everywhere else. short of it is musical buds are totally different to motor/industrial which for proper hearing protection on a bike you should be looking at. wires, plastics, silicone/rubber still transmit the frequency and vibration to you as there is FAR less absorption. Foamy is pretty king for damping.

just internet with the risk of dealing with the chinese loose claims. small aftermarket manufacturers like SP, fuel , pipewerx but even if they are willing youll either have to send them your old exhaust or more likely leave you bike with them for a few days at best.

Not ugly bike from 20ft away long with a female chinese gymnast rider... unnecessary over complex suspension ideas that add weight to a already heavy bike with very little power to even remotely offset the crap. more likely the suspension will be terrible design,spec and manufactured so the action of one badly made component will just make the other worse or both will be terrible making it worse to handle...

cheap ones will do as theyll use salt and or acid based products. not much or a problem for the car nor car owners to give a shite about but bikes.....

same as MBF. tried many wired,wireless, flush and moulded but they they just keep failing out mostly just trying to put on the helemt or painful. so its speakers and mic set up for me , ill nominate cardo.

does it have an immobiliser/alarm? std or after market?

don't remember 125s needing exhaust flaps, most likely either a bolt from a baffle (is the exhaust standard?) a internal weld spot broken or somebody/thing has dropped something inside for you? either way you might as well take the exhaust can off first and see /use a good magnet on the underside to see if its actually metal piece inside. but that shouldnt affect its performance on its own unless of course the baffle/flap is stuck in a awkward /closed position. does it start ok? speed, sound, idles ok? potter about ok?

Agree with the others. as your a new license holder you'll be viewd as being inexperienced (young?) so your at high risk regardless until you can prove yourself over the next few years. Depending on how much is weighted on the biase of the other entitlement but in you case very little. just make sure it's correct at next year's renew. Theoretically your ment to, which depending on how pedantic they are but realistically they will just figure a way to charge you one way or the other, just try avoiding doing something stupid and have a fault claim.

Nope, no jumping the gov licence queue!

sorry but couldnt help myself a adapt the post to what a marketing/pc/politician would have put it. i luckly had decent times with oxford and richa products IN THE PAST(From 3-20yrs). now if they are shite now as most due to being made to the cheapest technologies and methods known nowadays i cant comment.

would you really trust them, unqualified and untested job hand? Do you trust a hand job when they have no reprocussion of their actions....a thread of talk no doubt.

Holy moly you guys got spring euphoria or what? anyway this is where the insurance muppets have no idea wtf they are doing or know the real reason or implications. a good example is its a safety requirement, at the poor end of reason its a policy holder with too much money and no idea to drain them of money...

Its a poor brand with a terrible distribution. Really if you bought it through the dealer their the ones first step to sort the shite out then they put it through a claim to GB. most dealers that have their brands are not main dealers nor main income so incentives to them are few but that makes it a very bad experience for the consumer which is where your at unfortunately. so Its up to the dealer if they will just be bothered for the chance of future custom but for than likely there up there own arses. look at the details of what is covered under the warranty or claims and go withthat...good luck. other than that all id do now is just contact motogb and get them to sort it and say the dealer is a useless piece of shit, if they still dont complain and see where that goes... over that just see if a local garage will look at it just to get it going? more than likely it's something very simple.does the bike prime (hear the fuel pump) when switched on? then every day you pass the shitty dealer and throw a hotpile of dog shit at there door...

its a winter hack, if you want to keep it as that then fine, if you want a light project that you dont have to depend on as a sole transport then fine. Coils (wires too) and the ignition system are a weak point on those bikes

yep totally agree, pointless and stupid business idea. when you have that much money it must make you blind and ignorant.

Especially the bike i hope...bike gets no benefit from putting up with a agro of being belittled and downgraded!

one more wife/Gf, you are mad with sickness? i think a forecourt load of bikes from the scrap yard would be less work and money...

Maybe she has an unknown lush and a secret place to stash the forbidden items....
