nice ride out.
I got a pair of Altberg boots, they are amazing. Waterproof and Altberg can repair them too.
As used by the police so comfy as fook. Got mine 2nd hand for £50 and they were like new

Tommy and I also went to Whitby, camped at Squires. visited all the sights and pickering to see the auction house.
Some nice very roads near there btw if you venture out -
i take a piece of carpet, easy enough to stow away as its only around 6" wide and long enough to protect the side panels

'bout 5 hours for me or 3 and a bit on the motorway.
tempted but a little too far for an overnighter

I'd start from scratch. make sure the valves are def on compression ie both loose on the cylinder and the timing mark is there. the LF (left fire should have the points opening, you may need to rotate the backing plate to achieve this, if not, then you are 180' out.

or cable sticking. if idle hangs, def too weak, if bogs too rich

So it's a coupla years later and I'm still in love with my SR125
. We've been easing her forward from a mountain of rust and a variety of ill-advised fiddles at others' hands and I'd love to post a pic of her.. but I just can't work out how!!! If anyone see this, I'd appreciate any guidance. I've tried a number of times - link to cloud storage, file:/// link to local storage, but I'm stumped!
need to use photo bucket or such like and link into your text box.
It explains it better in help section -
i still in contact with a few.
foamy found love and never heard from him since

use an on line parts supplier like Fowlers and they list other bikes the parts fit.
I Doubt there will be a modified part list of random parts to fit any type of bike.

I am surprised to know that there is any gain from 32 to 36mm TBS, it doesn't make any sense that Yamaha of all people, makes almost same bike, goes all the way up to reduce the TBS diameter, just to have lower performance. It's beyond me, i dont understand why they would do that.
Now... the XJ6 is definitely a bike that shouldn't exist anyway, its clearly a downgrade in everyway to the FZ6, the only superior thing on the XJ6 is the cam chain tensioner that is hydraulic... and i personally like the power more on the XJ6, i know the FZ6 is more powerful, but is a useless power, is way up on the revs, the XJ6 power is more useable more realistic to the engine size.
That being said i always thought that it was weird changing the diameter of the tbs and i had curiosity knowing the performance difference. Becauise i dont think it's costs... i think they would cost the same to produce.
smaller TBS would make for more torque lower down at the expense of HP
