My 73 CT1 kick start gear will not engage it's mating gear located behind the clutch pack. The mating gear wobbles all over the place and I have not removed the clutch to see how this gear is supposed to be fastened to it's shaft. Does anyone know what the problem is ? Easy fix ? What in the way of parts are needed ? Can you recommend where to buy the needed parts ? Thanks

Ok this is going to sound letcherous but i dont care, this morning at work, 6 degrees according to the truck what do i see at the traffic lights. A delightfull young lady on a DT. What do i really see. A 17 yr old with a fine bust and nipples like scammel starter buttons (she was wearing a thin sweatshirt type off the shoulder thing and jeans) she was VERY obviously cold. No coat, no gloves, slip on deck shoes it made some of my old scars hurt just looking at her. She was pretty tho.

Yesterday lunchtime i was going around a car park to get some smokes. The weather wasnt good raining and because it hadnt rained in weeks the ground was covered in oil and rubber, i put my breaks on to go round a corner and my bike slid out and damaged the fairings and the gear peddle. my local yamaha grarage said it would cost me £1200 to get the fairings fixed. it there anywhere where i can buy new fairings because £1200 is far to expensive for my 59 Yzf-R125. any ideas?
