    So Sorry for both yours and Kev's loss. they are such a small member of our families but make the biggest dent in our world when they are no longer about to receive that long awaited pat on the head.

     

    love and respects to you both and your families

    Absolutely ridiculous, sometimes it feels that motorcyclists are kinda hated and easy targets in more ways than one.

    Hey folks, thought id have a little rant and give you a giggle.

    I have been helping a mate of mine fix his road legal Pit bike 140cc (stomp??) and yesterday i had to remove two fucked screws out of his stator plate so he could upgrade it. Anyway before that he asked if i had a flywheel puller and sadly id don't, followed swiftly by the "how do i remove a flywheel then" question..............."with a puller" i reply.

    Then the screw extraction procedure happened, how he got the flywheel off i did not ask.

    i do the biz and remove the two fucked screws and fit the new stator and leave for home to my chicken stew and dumplings.....nom nom nom

    Hour later he tips up at mine on the bike and is well happy and lets me have a go  and i got to say apart from the cramped riding position its actually a lot of fun but only for 30mins or so, no way you can go long distance on them.

    He then buggers off home. But then i get a text.........................bikes fucked and didn't make it home, flywheel had come off taking the woodruff key with it.

    I nip out to get him home and he's now asking if he needs the woodruff key and how the best way to fix it :wank4az: and after half an hour explaining that he needs a new crank as the groove that the key goes in is now proper mashed he's telling me that his other mate is saying the key is useless and isn't even needed. :banghead:

    That's when i go my stuff and left.

    XVS 650 engine warning light

    in Yamaha Customs

    Posted

    Hey folks wondering if any of you have had this problem before as its not really stated in the manual.

    A chap that used to be on here (Auzz) is not off to go and work out in Saudi for a few years so gave me his 650 draggy to fix up and sell on but it is in a sorry state and in urgent need of some loving.

    Now for a bit about the bike, she starts up ok with the engine light going out as it should, it struggles to idle to start with but then she settles down and tick over fine, (carbs need looking at) she will then ride fine and pull hard but as soon as you pull on full throttle she will bog down, pop and fart till you ease off a bit, (air leak / jets)

    Here's the bit thats stumping me though, after about 1 - 2 miles the engine warning light will come on and stay on, no flashing or nowt, just comes on solid. In the manwell it states about it coming on with the ignition for 1.4 seconds then going out, and if if flashed 3 times it could be the TPS, but there is nothing about a solid warning light? she still rides fine and pulls hard with it on but its a problem that needs addressing.

    Any ideas?

    XVS 650 Full Engine rebuild

    Hi Mikko, It took me some digging but in the end i found the whole crank with con rods on Ebay USA. by the time i had finished messing about with a full gasket set and oil pump etc it would have been cheaper to just buy a new second hand engine (plenty on Ebay)

    It take a fair bit of hunting my friend for a good crank so don't loose track.

    Y'arrr, booty!

    I've also got a 12ft speedboat with one of the guys from work, got a 20hp johnson to go on the back, it's going to be so amazing and fun! 

    Long video but its only for the Johnson quote!!

    I have named bikes but only the ones that i deemed worthy of a name, like Betty (regret loosing her a wee bit now) and then i have Jennifer. Named the 650 draggy Betty as when i first got her she was a sweaty fat thing so the name fitted well. Then i got the cb750 chopper and as she's a 1970's model and the most popular name for girls in the 70's was Jennifer it seamed to fit.

     

    Fatter front wheel & tyre for the classic look?

    Sorry chap but unless your going to stick 4 wheels on it then no matter how fat the tyres you fit you will still loose grip on certain ground.

    I'm fully into the modifying of bikes and will certainly be checking in on your progress but heed the advice that the money you pump into a 125 can go towards a big bike and you really will never get that dosh back when the time comes to sell.

    Good lucj

    Might be a bit late, but in Halfrauds they sell a cutting compound (a mild one) called G3 and its shit hot and polishing at removing the fat girls ass syndrome out of newly painted clear coat.

    If the touch up pen is visible try rubbing some of this all over the tank to blend it in, you dont need to rub it like you want to see the metal work underneath but not so soft that your trying to stroke it to sleep. Gentle but firm (thats the way we like it ^_^)
