  3. Hey mate welcome to the site! Everyone here is pretty awesome, In like 2 or so weeks they helped me get my old and neglected SR back up and running. I noticed you have a TW200, Have you seen and of the deus builds for them?
  4. Hey mate, Welcome to the site! If you head over to the workshop area you can post your questions there. Out of curiousity is your bike standard? the XS 400 would make an awesome cafe racer!
  5. Hey guys I'm considering a Tail swap on my 1987 Yamaha FZR 1000. I bought the Tail plastics and rider seat (Apparently from a 2007/2008 bike) ridiculously cheap on ebay and I was wondering the best way to go about a tail swap. I've read heaps of forums on this but I'm undecided whether i should either: 1:Cut and modify the existing sub frame 2:Buy a R1 sub frame and mount that. If so, I know they changed the sub frames in 09 but are all the previous years the same size etc?? Or 3: make a new sub frame....and by that I mean, I have a mate who is a boiler maker and he has agreed to try and make one if I pay for materials. If so what materials would be best and does anyone have any plans of the design or a better one?? I also only have access to a stick welder...Would that be sufficient? If not I'd try and hire/borrow a TIG. Thanks everyone!
  6. Yeah I have heard about the internal adjustments that need to be made, If i go that way I might just pay for a mechanic to do it. I checked out the airbox, One of the screws heads is stuck,Even with WD 40 i can't coax it out. Im thinking I might try and drill it out so i can get inside
  7. I bought and installed a new aftermarket tap on the bike as apparently OEM parts would have cost me a fair bit more, It hasn't got the vaccum pipe connecting to the inlet manifold, Just the fuel to the carby. My local mechanic i got the parts off just told me to block off the inlet manifold stub and turn off the petrol from the tank as soon as i turn the bike off after use. The bike runs and sounds clean no knocks or rattles, but i think i might install a POD filter as my airbox is now clogged with bits of oil and fuel and I can't get inside it without braking it. Any chance you would know what size/type of POD filter to install Tony? Turns out when I changed the brake light switch the Neutral light came good, Not quite sure what happened but I guess it could've been from me shorting it out. Almost time to get it registered! Can't wait
  8. Yes that's the same on mine. Unfortunately having the tap to ON or RESERVE causes the fuel to pour out. thankyou! by the sounds of it that seems to be my problem, I'll empty out the tank tomorrow and pull the tap off and see what i can find. I also still need to check out if i have a pinched neutral wire for the light on the dash.
  9. I cleaned up the brake and clutch lever switches and it turns out the button for the brake lever has partially been broken off, Next payday I'll have to try and order a new one. I hooked up the fuel system as advised but it seems like the smaller stub on the tap that i connected to the inlet manifold is flooding the crankcase. any ideas? ~thanks
  10. Haha very true! Anyone one going out for St Patrick's day?
  11. Yeah the brake light was working before I switched the levers, I think you might be right about the aftermarket levers being slightly different And yes the Neutral light stays on even when its in gear I'll have to check all of this out after work... Thanks for the help, I'll get back to you!
  12. Thanks guys! Haha, Hey DirtyDT how did you get your text upside down that's awesome!!
  13. Hey guys, I have a 1985 Yamaha SR 250. Unfortunately I have 3 problems I need to deal with in order to get the bike registered. Brake light stays on Neutral light stays on in dash I need to reconnect the fuel lines and i'M unsure of the placement. First of all my tail and brake lights are always on, I realize that my tail light should stay on but the little button that my front brake lever pushes in to activate the brake light is stuck on. When I changed the broken brake and clutch levers to new ones I greased them and I think i clogged the buttons Is there anyway to fix them for instance WD 40 or silicon spray? Or would I need new switches? Secondly my neutral light is constantly turned on in the dash.... Would this problem be the same as the Brake light switch? And finally when I bought the bike none of the fuel lines were connected... Can I please get a diagram of the fuel system or a verbal run down of this as im new to bikes. THANKS GUYS!
