    hi, can anyone offer advice, i have been restoring my DT250MX, started it today for the first time in 10+ years, it been at the back of my garage and i thought it was about time i put it back to it's full glory, after about 10 kicks it fired up, i had previuosly taken the carb off the bike and given it a good clean, the engine ran at 6000 revs and then the revs started to increase so i turned it off, the throttle seems to operate correctly at the handle bar execept that it doesnt release on it's own, help please

    Hi guys, When commuting in London I am constantly changing up/down gears, but I have noticed that when I am in the lower gears if I release the throttle but do not brake (engine is providing braking obv), when I re-apply the throttle there is a thud as the chain is grabbed. Is this poor throttle/clutch management on my part, or something to be expected? Also, my throttle has a lot of play in it (christofeser is kindly helping me out with this at a later date), to the point where if I want to pin it I have to adjust my grip forward to then pull down further; this means however that when I go to change gear, I go to close the throttle but because I have had to twist i…

    Afternoon Everyone I am looking at getting an R6 as my first bike early next year so I though I would join a forum so I can gather some information before I spend my money I am more into my Retro Bikes and Cars but figured as a first bike, something slightly newer might be a better idea So if anyone fancies offering up some info on R6's, I will be looking at earlier ones due to a restricted budget. Cheers Sammo

    Hi guys, I've got the bike going into the shop on Friday for a good overhaul; getting some engine bars fitted, new chain/sprockets (front sprocket +2 teeth, as per MarkyBoy's experiment), got a new 100 jet, new brake lever, indicator stalk, oil filter, air filter, and a partridge in a pear tree... Anyhoo, today driving into work I noticed the rear brake squeaking at low speeds when light pressure was applied... is this something sinister? Cheers all John

    Banned from ASDA, didn't like shopping there anyway Yesterday I was at my local ASDA buying a large bag of Purina dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had - an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in hospital last time, but that I'd lost 2 stones before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that …

    Hi i am looking at a Yamaha DT 125R trouble is it needs a bit of work and i dont know anything about motorcycle mechanics is there anyone here in the Taunton area that would be willing to lend a hand and could do the work that would be great. I think the bike needs a new gearbox so not sure if it is a big job then it needs a service and a bit of a smarten up and we should be rocking if any one is interested then email me [email protected] cheers Tony.

    Hi there everybody peeps Many sincere and abject apologies for my lengthy absence I've managed to get some time to myself on a borrowed PC as my "all singing, all dancing" Dell is still silently recalcitrant. Enough of the excuses My SR 250 is finally on the road and I have done about a 1000 miles relatively trouble free On the day I took it it for the test (1st Sept) the chain "jumped" the sprocket and I had to enlist the services of a mate to get it back on as I only have a sidestand fitted. (didn't think it was that slack) Anyway it sailed through MOT with flying colours, (red oxide primer actually) but the first serious ride out I lost the rear ligh…
