bloody marvalous thanks airhead!! i thought i had not been able to find it in my manual due to the fact i didnt know what i was looking for, i am not quite fluent with wire diagrams, i looked at the diagram that showed it connected to the pick up coil, i then went on ebay looking for a pick up coil to get an idea of what that looked like and hey presto,had a look at my coil, i found i wire that looks like it would go straight on it . smashin. i supose to the more experienced bike technician its a relitively simple thing to deal with but for me that was a real eurika moment, thanks once again .

i am confused-generally, whats this thing here for ?? the thing i am pointing.. at it looks like a wire was once connected to this, what why where does it need to be ?? i would hasard a guess and lean towards a sender for oil pressure but i dont know please help. i cant take reference from my old engine as this had a whole load of bits missin, heres a few pics, note the highway hawk straight through system that i bought for £90 quid , and the recently shot blasted tank, and the side panels freshly sprayed....yes its going to be battleship grey

how do , i too am stuck with a bastard of a dragfar, i have just taken my frame and swing arm to get powder coated i had it shot blast first, that should sort my bloody rust out, i have a whole pile of nits that i cant even remember where they came from, the missus has deleted the camera memory., my engine was goosed, i sourced a second hand 2002 motor and i dont know if its any good but i cleaned it and its polished up well, the black rubber tube on the carb intake has fine cracks in, it seams that reading the posts i would say that the same thing goes wrong on most of the xvs's, if anyone has any photos of the engine, inside the crank case, and so on could you stick em up ??? thanks, i am out my depth and having a mare , i am staying positive,

nigela can have some of my man fat, a good portion of gentlemans relish. let her spend an hour on the tower of power. out of two i'd give her one . why not offer her some pearls ?

paddy was walking down a street , on passing a pub he read a sign displaying " pies 50p , wanks 10p" paddy goes into the pub,where behind the bar he saw a slim sexy blonde with a very fine figure and says to her " hello do you do the wanking ??" the sexy woman replied in a sexy voice and a seductive smile " yes i do ".................paddy then says to her " .....well wash your hands i want a pie"

all the best to all. just to help any body out there who is wondering what to give the missus for xmass .............the answer is very simple....bum sex well thats whats she is getting.

ha ha very funny , for a small fee i am sure it can be arranged

just to update the people of this website i thought i would anounce the joyfull fact that my missus found the key . ok folks .

ha ha ha , bloody great advise , i will be sure to take it on board, at least i can use the practice picture that drewpy sent!!! bloody great.... still looking for the soddin thing, i think its the missus, its allways the missus, never seen it she says....probly got into one of her bloody cleaning frenzie's and binned it along with my dog, special collection of porn, shot gun, and my buy a thia bride, and my ipod, and my stash tin, and my neighbors cat , just to mention a few items.....i hope for her sake i find it , i asked her twice ...hence the two black eyes...l f'king o l

heeelp, i have realized after a long search 2 days that i have lost my bike key, yes it was the only one , and yes went through the standard 6 hour hunt in the most irrelevant of places... any way my plea is for advice ,,, how do i et a replacement , where and how much is this likely to cost??? is there a postal service to be recommended...

thats helpfull ha ha ha , i just managed to buy a whole new engine from the crank up and two wheels with great tyres and good disc all for a rather tasty £300 snots. apperently its only done <16000 and its still shiney, i can get that shoved in and then find another ball aching problem... ah the joys of motoring... i named it the dragfar . . now come on boys stop your bickering.

ok thanks , i might as well just take it apart all together, there was a sort of pinking noise that came from the rear cylinder , would it be fair to say that that could of been the piston hitting the head ?? thanks for your advice by the way

thanks , as it happens i did have a tug on the piston earlier on (no pun intended) i must of been able to lift the piston a good 5mm up and down , is this looking bad ,?

thats great thanks, as its a twin cylinder is it advisable to do the same thing to both cylinders ? if one is showing the fact it needs a de-coke would it be safe to assume the other one is just as bad ??

i dont know , i just used a random and slightly barbaric guess, do you know if it should be possible to move the valves by hand with the cylinder head off ??

hello i was looking for a gasket set for my 125 dragfar, i had noticed there is far too much in the variation of price, for example a full gasket set on ebay for 30 quid, or a full set elsewhere from 70 quid and so on, as i have never bought gaskets for bikes before i wondered what is the difference (besides price) ? are cheep gaskets more likely to fail ? is it a case of "buy cheap and buy twice"? is there a brand that is worth avoiding ? is there a brand that is worth going after for all the right reasons ????????????? please advise

ok so initally there was a knocking noise that seemed to be coming from the rear cylinder area, it ran but badly, it sounded like a piston related knock ?

thanks, it took me forever to get these pics up, thanks for the advice ... now does anyone see anything that looks out of character on these pics, .....by the way the pair of boobs is a radio and yes the nipples are the dail.
