Welcome! Just remember everything and everyone on the road is trying to kill you - the trick is not letting them succeed!

Alien abduction gotta be, the're probably do medical research on him hope the're not probing for technical info!!

The song starts at 2:12 but the rest is funny as F***

Very tasty indeed

another piece of the jigsaw lookin good drewps

Thank you!! I now understand, was much easier in my day, you touch my bike your going to hospital!!! We didn't need to wear a patch - badge or name tag you f**k with us your dog meat.

Ooh that does look sharp!

YAY the seat arrived! picked it up from Matt Caulfield and it looks great, see for yourself

Assuming you liked them, assuming they were properly fitted with the correct hardware, assuming they were in good condition.... yeah. But if you'd rather choose exactly what you want, that is an option.

That's a shame Sacha, I really feel for you, all that hard work down the drain, still at least you know what it will look like when it's done AGAIN!! Enjoy your tea and a nights rest will make it all seem better tomorrow (hope)

Hi Steve, welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling!! Always something that needs fixing, I would return the lever to the original position as the scratches on the engine casing will only get worse and there is also the chance that you will either miss a gear or jam the thing in gear, not to be recommended when your going round corners or pulling away from the lights, it's embarrassing at best dangerous at worst. You could try getting another lever and heat it up and actually bend it to the shape you want but and it's a big BUT most metals will fracture if you use to much heat or over do it, not heard of this problem from other folks on here who have your bike so maybe it's something your doing that is causing the problem? It might just mean you have to get used to the system rather than start adjusting stuff straight off, just my thoughts you understand but I would keep plugging away and see how it goes over the next few weeks. PS It's usual to do and INTRO (new members section-front page of forum) before you launch into asking questions about how to fix your bike, just nice to introduce yourself before asking strangers to help you out and it would also be best if you put this question into the WORKSHOP area as more folks will see it and know what your after, THE BAR is for general chat and making sarcastic comments about each other. Plus most folks like you to say Hi before they will answer strangers questions. Oh and by the way WELCOME to the YOC, always nice to have new folks join in.

i had a brief look at mine when i had it, i think theres supposed to be a spring clip which goes into the top of the retaining nut that holds the choke assembly in, i just put an o-ring inbetween the nut and the spring on mine and it did the trick
